Yeah, many don't realize that GBC was essentially just a new revision of the original GB (like New 3DS or DSi) and due to specific market circumstances (lack of competition and Pokémon renaissance) GB lasted a timespan worthy of two generations (launched 1989 and got the successor in 2001).GB number is high but it's a system that lasted almost 15 years with GBC resurrection.
DS is the really crazy one.
Does it matter?Some of you guys were saying that Mario Maker 3DS was going to pass FFXV for the third (?) highest selling game during 2016. Did MM end up not exploding as much as predicted or did Final Fantasy avoid completely collapsing (probably due to cheap excess stock)?
It will happens next week... it just the prediction was off about one weekSome of you guys were saying that Mario Maker 3DS was going to pass FFXV for the third (?) highest selling game during 2016.

DS on the other hand was a freaking monster, just need to see the YTD I've posted a few pages ago.
Except that it hardly matters in the long run who are these some? I hope they don't end up being one or none in the end again.
Digital ratio is depending on many things but a good estimate for PS4 is 10-15% of total sales.
But Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.
DSi had a bunch of exclusives, but of course they weren't retail releases
Does it matter?
MM3DS is going to pass FFXV soon.
Someone in the previous thread pointed out 15-20% is a better average for PS4 (I expect it to be on the lower bound for high selling games though).
It was essentially the same product line but revamped with colored games (yeah, I know the hardware was beefed up) more than a true successor.I remember a lot of us being confused when Nintendo decided to lump GB and GBC sales together in the late 90s. New 3DS and DSi had next to no exclusive retail software, but GBC had several hundred exclusive games. Plenty of systems had smaller total libraries than the GBC exclusive list.

The same could be said about WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color for instance.
If you are talking about shipment data then I don't think so.I guess so. There were a few titles that made use of that extra power though.
Does anyone have an idea what portion of the Gameboy's 119M (or even the Japanese total) came from the GBC?
At least 64 million was the original Game Boy, we don't know for sure because Nintendo never separated them.I guess so. There were a few titles that made use of that extra power though.

Indeed
FFXV's holds since launch have been most impressive and now one of the best holds in the top 10. Very unexpected.
Excuses such as 'price drop' which hit most games of its size in similar timeframes are moot imo.
FFXIII's holds in comparison are horrific!

Japan really doesn't like the pro
In the next 15 weeks PS4 needs to sell 968.237 - 569.527 = 398.710 so that it doesn't fall behind PS3. There is the last big week of the year (let's say 100k) meaning 300k in 14 weeks or 21.500 average per week after holidays.
They can´t buy it, how can they know that? Pro has been sold out across Japan since launch, the only way you can get it is by paying way way more than what it actually cost:
https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01LRHPUZ4/
So, Pro will start selling once stock is available.
When I said the minimun I meant the bare, BARE minimum, total shipments of the non Color line could be 10 million higher maybe considerably more.So somewhere between 40-50M for the GBC in its short time as the must have Gameboy model. Gameboy Pockets were impulse buy price territory by the time the GBC launched (not that the GBC was all that expensive). I imagine that the monochrome models continued to post decent sales in territories that aren't as fast to transition.
That should be doable no?
Slim is simply much better for japanese market
99.9% doable.That should be doable no?
Just weird that PlayStation has an unofficial week in Japan when they don't actually do anything.
Interesting....
99.9% doable.
Next week already will sell 3x the needed avg.

3DS will have better finish than DS. This FY will have better hold and next FY it could actually outsell DS.

Outsell the DS? How?
Oh ok, like that. Yeah, this year is a given. Wont be much of a surprise during 2018 either, in my opinion considering that Switch isnt backward compatible.Sells more than 250k
How much it sold in the fiscal year i think.I'm confused. What is the last number for the 3DS? The "1.567.135" one.
How much it sold in the fiscal year, not calendar year.
Most of those were like basic calculator or clock apps and the likeA bunch is probably an understatement. It numbers in the hundreds.
Someone is fisico and 15-20% is digital/physical not digital/total.
FFXV had a good hold, but its drop in the coming weeks will be nasty.
Miitopia may not be a big hit after all, wonder how much will it drop next week....
The next few weeks will be very telling on whether Sun and Moon will outsell X/Y in Japan. If it drops like X/Y post-holidays, then probably not. Too bad.
