This is a 50+ % drop from Yakuza mainline entry average of ~600k

Y0 numbers please.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

wonder whether FFXV will ever sell its initial stock.

 

[cj_iwakura]

This is a 50+ % drop from Yakuza mainline entry average of ~600k

Well, still beat some heavy competition.

 

[Kouriozan]

Looks like Miitopia isn't going to be localized, I though it would do MUCH better considering it's a (tiny) bit like Tomodachi Life.

 

[duckroll]

Well, still beat some heavy competition.

What competition lol.

 

[LordKano]

wonder whether FFXV will ever sell its initial stock.

When it will hit the bargain bins, in two-three weeks, maybe.

03./03. [3DS] Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS <ACT> (Nintendo) {2016.12.01} (¥4.700) - 117.908 / 280.088 (-27%)

Super strong second week for SMM.

First week sales doesnt mean much for this type of game.

 

[Ridley327]

It's pretty normal percentage drop for mainline FF.

Oh jeez, it really is in line for drops.

It is pretty freaky to see 88% repeat itself, with this being a hat trick.

 

[Shizuka]

Minecraft Vita is a BEAST.

 

[cj_iwakura]

What competition lol.

TLG? Pokemon? Uh. Touhou knockoffs? Lol.

 

[Fisico]

This is a 50+ % drop from Yakuza mainline entry average of ~600k

Yakuza 3,4,5 all had a first week between 350-400k.

Yakuza 6 is <250k.

Though we saw it coming long ago with Ishin, 0 and Kiwami.

Must have seen wrong numbers for 5. Apologies.

Y0 numbers please.

[PS3] Yakuza 0 &#8211; 145,823
[PS4] Yakuza 0 &#8211; 90,506

Big decline from Yakuza 5 as expected, but from Yakuza 0 I guess it's like most of the PS3 audience transitioned on the PS4.

 

[LordOfLore]

Sega’s Yakuza 6: The Song of Life for PlayStation 4 sold 218,168 units during its first week of release in Japan, the latest Media Create sales figures reveal.

In comparison, PlayStation 3 predecessors Yakuza 5 opened at 363,717 sales, Yakuza 4 at 395,123 sales, and Yakuza 3 at 356,867 sales.

Wow.

 

[KingSnake]

First week sales doesnt mean much for this type of game.

Oh, come on. 27k. There's nowhere to go from this. Might sell a big better for the holidays, but if the interest was so low at launch, it will be dead after the holiday.

 

[Acquiescence]

This is a 50+ % drop from Yakuza mainline entry average of ~600k

Oof, that's really rough.

I hear China and other South East Asian countries are picking up the slack these days where Yakuza is concerned, but I don't know if it's enough to keep the series alive at this rate.

 

[oneida]

[PS3] Yakuza 0 – 145,823
[PS4] Yakuza 0 – 90,506

Big decline from Yakuza 5 as expected, but from Yakuza 0 I guess it's like most of the PS3 audience transitioned on the PS4.

Thank you.

Wow that drop for FFXV!!

Crazy hold for Mario maker. Also the last guardian did well

 

[Chris1964]

Mario maker 3ds going to do over 500k on 3ds isnt it?

No, first week sell-through was 50%, it bombed.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Holy shit, FFXV...

3DS gonna hit 22mil ain't it?

obviously not "average mainline entry of 600k."

 

[Dash Kappei]

Damn at those RGG6 numbers, ugh... how big of an impact do the other (Asian) numbers actually have again?
FFXV bomba confirmed once again, shockingly bad 2nd week there.

TLG is decent, almost 45% (iirc) down from SOTC's fw but all things considered I'd guess Sony expectations have been met?

 

[MacTag]

Those Puyo numbers seem low? I know it's a leggy franchise but how did previous entries start?

 

[duckroll]

obviously not "average mainline entry of 600k."

Yes 500-600k is the average LTD, not the first week sales.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Sun & Moon hanging in there nicely.

 

[go_straight]

If Yua Mikami and Anri Okita can't save Yakuza, I'm sorry but nothing can be done.

 

[Nightengale]

obviously not "average mainline entry of 600k."

Yeah, I made a mistake seeing LTD numbers with first week. My bad.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Yeah, I made a mistake seeing LTD numbers with first week. My bad.

Maybe you were confusing it with MGS numbers, which, iirc, are 600k the first week.

 

[Chris1964]

Yes 500-600k is the average LTD, not the first week sales.

Average LTD on PS3, because it was higher on PS2.

Sell-through for Miitopia will be important, at least initial shipment isn't the high some of thought.

 

[dracula_x]

crazy numbers for Xbox

+-------+------------+
| XB1 # |      1.245 
|  PS3  |        853
+-------+------------+

 

[MacTag]

Mario maker 3ds going to do over 500k on 3ds isnt it?

It might outsell FFXV depending on legs.

 

[Zedark]

Damn at those RGG6 numbers, ugh... how big of an impact do the other (Asian) numbers actually have again?
FFXV bomba confirmed once again, shockingly bad 2nd week there.

TLG is decent, almost 45% (iirc) down from SOTC's fw but all things considered I'd guess Sony expectations have been met?

Not true. It is in line with other FF mainline second week drops and this game had file days of tracking in its first week rather than 3 (Tuesday release instead of typical Thursday).

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Sorry to annoy with this but do we have 4th week comparions between sun and moon and x and y?

 

[Greninja96]

So what would Pokemon have as total now?

over 2.7m

 

[duckroll]

Average LTD on PS3, because it was higher on PS2.

PS2 was a totally different trend though. Low opening weeks, really long tail sales, and then they doubled each one with the budget releases. Those days died immediately when the PS3 was released.

 

[KillerMan91]

Without WiiU completely dying out this holiday season could have actually matched last year when it comes to HW sales.

 

[RPGamer92]

So are these TLG sales considered good? Nice hold for SMM.

 

[1st Course]

If Yua Mikami and Anri Okita can't save Yakuza, I'm sorry but nothing can be done.

It doesn't need saving. The series is seeing growth overseas.

 

[Blablurn]

Word about FFXV class' will spread in its third week, and im sure we can look forward to a more reasonable drop next week.

 

[cws]

Oh, come on. 27k. There's nowhere to go from this. Might sell a big better for the holidays, but if the interest was so low at launch, it will be dead after the holiday.

Heh, we will see about that. Still very early.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

S-E and SEGA must be hoping the Asian markets pick up the slack for their games.

 

[MacTag]

Looks like Miitopia isn't going to be localized, I though it would do MUCH better considering it's a (tiny) bit like Tomodachi Life.

It'll pull an Animal Crossing 64 / Tomodachi Life DS and see the next hardware release version localized.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Yakuza doing worse than expected.
TLG doing better than expected.

Surprised by that PS4 hold though.

 

[Chris1964]

Oh, come on. 27k. There's nowhere to go from this. Might sell a big better for the holidays, but if the interest was so low at launch, it will be dead after the holiday.

Like Captain Toad? Wait until February, maybe it bombs maybe it doesn't.

 

[Screamapillar]

Mario Maker has got some nice legs. With such a huge 3DS base in Japan, this game may end up selling better on 3DS than it did on Wii U, despite not having online level-sharing, which I would argue was the game's most important feature.

Ouch at that FFXV drop. Near 90%. That's not good. SE is likely not very happy with that. Clearly the game is more attractive to western audiences than to the traditional JRPG Japanese crowd. They kind of needed to if they hope to reach 10 mil, though. Which would never happen in Japan nowadays.

 

[Welfare]

What is the first week to LTD ratio for Final Fantasy titles? Looks to have similar legs to previous titles.
