Media Create Sales: Week 11, 2017 (Mar 13 - Mar 19)

 

[E-phonk]

It seems switch sold almost as much as all other hardware combined. Splatoon2 shots testfired

 

[Alrus]

Damn that Switch bump.

Super Bomberman R with the legs too Watch Disgaea 5 chart in top 30 Famitsu now (I don't really expect this)

 

[L~A]

Great 2nd week for MHXX. Though I wonder if MC adjusted their sales data after undertracking them last week.

Same for the Switch, despite the lack of new releases.

Oh, and I see SMM3DS is at 1m retail, now.

 

[Kanann]

2 million?




PS4 4.583.399
PSV 5.583.938

LOL

 

[Principate]

Now these are some genuinely great sales.

 

[Kresnik258]

Nice for Switch!

Not so nice for Accel World

Minecraft is back \o/

 

[Bruno MB]

Monster Hunter Double Cross had a much better hold than I expected, shipments + digital before the end of fiscal year might reach 1.6 million.

 

[LordOcidax]

Well... Looks like the Switch is going to be a monster in Japan. Great to see.

 

[Interfectum]

I think Switch is going to do pretty great in Japan.

 

[urfe]

Wow at Switch. This is why I can't find any anywhere.

I am Setsuna is hard to find on shelves these days. WS it a super small shipment? There goes buying it cheap soon.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Good week for the Switch with it finally having some stock in, and you can see some real legs for all its major titles, too.

 

[gconsole]

Only 60% drop is really good. MHXX has surprisingly good legs.

That Switch bump up though, maybe artificial demand too this time ? lol

 

[frankie_baby]

Very impressive for switch, thought the bump would be to like 65ish

 

[zeromcd73]

I'll do a daily update of the Switch stock situation from today (online retailers). This week from online stores in Japan:

03/27
MyNintendoStore restocks and sells out in 17mins. New shipment expected April 3. Rest is N/A

03/28
N/A

03/29
Joshin and Toys R Us had stock but sold out quickly and is no longer available to order. Other retailers = N/A

 

[Jarod McChicken]

What a great perf for Switch and 300K for Zelda.

The 30K PS4 baseline stands one more week and Horizon should climb to 200K without digital <3

 

[Lexxism]

Splatoon 2 doing some work.

 

[TangorFopper]

14./18. [3DS] Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS <ACT> (Nintendo) {2016.12.01} (¥4.700) - 6.801 / 1.002.323 (+20%)

Wow!

 

[BitStyle]

Nice bump for Switch and its software.

Zelda, 1-2-Switch and Bomberman chugging along.

 

[Eolz]

Good restock for the Switch!
Decent 2nd week for Monhun.

 

[AquaWateria]

Splatoon is gonna do amazing.

 

[Orgen]

Monster Hunter Double Cross had a much better hold than I expected, shipments + digital before the end of fiscal year might reach 1.6 million.

Yup, maybe Capcom could save some face against the investors. And it seems that Nintendo is giving better Switch shipments?

 

[Mpl90]

Wasn't one of the worst weeks on record last year (or was it 2015?). Hopefully this year will have no such week, but yeah, most of April will not be pretty.

Oh, and in case some EU folks are wondering: new data now out at 2PM BST / 3PM CEST due to DST.

In the other thread, I stated I would've posted an historical context for April sales for consoles just released. So...here

[Kresnik258]

Monster Hunter Double Cross had a much better hold than I expected, shipments + digital before the end of fiscal year might reach 1.6 million.

I'd wait for Famitsu, it might just be Media Create adjusting the numbers since their FW sales were so different.

 

[Aki-at]

Excellent performance from the Switch, the system seller(s? with Splatoon 2 ) are doing stupendously well for the console.

It's amazing seeing the Japanese charts have a bit of life in them again! Looking at 3DS and PS4 sales as healthy runner ups, hope this can continue for a while still but we'll see.

 

[E-phonk]

Current switch attachrates without digital:
Zelda BoTW 58%
1-2 Switch: 26%
Bomberman R: 11%
DQH I & II: 8%

(and next up would be puyo puyo tetris with about 4%, but it's outside of the mc charts)

Bomberman is doing really well

 

[Celine]

Well... Looks like the Switch is going to be a monster in Japan. Great to see.

Still too early to say.
Demand is still outstripping offer though (same should be the case in USA) which is a positive sign.

 

[frankie_baby]

I'd wait for Famitsu, it might just be Media Create adjusting the numbers since their FW sales were so different.

Havent we had retailer hints of good performance and aditional shipments?

 

[mankoto]

Took a few weeks for Switch hype to die down just enough for Minecraft to come back.
Pretty huge drop for Peach Beach Splash... Ouch

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

Super Mariomaker > 1 million!!

 

[LordOcidax]

Yup, maybe Capcom could sabe some face against the investors. And it seems that Nintendo is giving better Switch shipments?

Yes, and still sold out in minutes.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Omg this system is going to do amazing in Japan (like some of us called).

lol Bomberman got dat bump

 

[pirateluigi]

Splatoon is gonna do amazing.

That was my first thought too. That game is going to make a killing.

 

[Kresnik258]

Havent we had retailer hints of good performance and aditional shipments?

Yeah, it may be that. I'm just saying might as well wait and see since they were so off the mark last week.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Wow at Switch. This is why I can't find any anywhere.

I am Setsuna is hard to find on shelves these days. WS it a super small shipment? There goes buying it cheap soon.

I suspect it having English built in and it not getting a western physical release meant that it was a fairly popular import too.

 

[darkstar0155]

wow didn't expect that much of a bump for switch solely due to stock reasons. Seems production increase is starting to hit the market.

BoTW may end up being one of the best selling Zelda's in japan. I wouldn't be surprised if it has crazy long legs and stays selling good for a long time and is a evergreen title in Japan.

Splatoon2 is going to destroy japan when it comes around.

If Japanese publishers were taking a wait and see with the switch before they devoted big recourses to the system I think they have their answer. These numbers will probably hold for the most part until splatoon2, and then that system will keep pushing good numbers for months which will take it to the holiday season.

Any worries that the switch will be Wii U redux should be pretty much gone at this point.

 

[Scrawnton]

They really should've ported MHXX to Switch... man that game is doing great numbers.

 

[DrROBschiz]

oh man

happy to see switch adoption rates are looking good in Japan

this will end up benefitting us all down the line

 

[Rymuth]

Nice shoryu-bump for Switch.

And i see you down there, SMM, hitting 1M

 

[casiopao]

Super Mariomaker > 1 million!!

And people keep asking for 3ds to be dead lol.

 

[frankie_baby]

I suspect it having English built in and it not getting a western physical release meant that it was a fairly popular import too.

Isnt It like twice the price in japan as the west though? Cant imagine many people (sans a few nutters) would have imported

 

[KingSnake]

Splatoon really switched it up one gear.

If Nintendo does several more testfires until the release of Splatoon they might not even need any other games in Japan until then.

 

[LordOcidax]

Still too early to say.
Demand is still outstripping offer though (same should be the case in USA) which is a positive sign.

In Japan.. i have no doubt. Switch is going to sell like hot cakes.

 

[mclem]

BoTW may end up being one of the best selling Zelda's in japan. I wouldn't be surprised if it has crazy long legs and stays selling good for a long time and is a evergreen title in Japan.

What do console zelda numbers look like in the past, anyway? I know it's not *huge* in Japan (and I guess as a corollary, does it do better on portable, and does that mean Switch is 'portable enough' for the Japanese audience?)

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Isnt It like twice the price in japan as the west though? Cant imagine many people (sans a few nutters) would have imported

you calling me a nutter bruv

 

[DrROBschiz]

And people keep asking for 3ds to be dead lol.

its taking much longer than id like but Japan loves this thing

thankfully they seem to love switch too

 

[Chris1964]

Yeah, it may be that. I'm just saying might as well wait and see since they were so off the mark last week.

All hints were saying MH had a very strong second week, Famitsu won't be very different. Media Create had lower first week but similar shipment.

 

[Emhemed]

Great start for the Switch, Have a feeling it's going to do wonders in Japan (not sure worldwide)

14./18. [3DS] Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS <ACT> (Nintendo) {2016.12.01} (¥4.700) - 6.801 / 1.002.323 (+20%)

That's 2m copies sold between the 3DS and the WiiU, I wonder If a switch port can push it up to 3m

 

[Screamapillar]

You can definitely tell Switch stock was replenished. No new releases, and yet a large spike not only in hardware but in software. Nintendo's got to be very pleased so far. This is definitely not Wii U.

 

[Tamanator]

Wow at Switch. This is why I can't find any anywhere.

I am Setsuna is hard to find on shelves these days. WS it a super small shipment? There goes buying it cheap soon.

Probably a mix of a small shipment and it being targeted by importers. Took me a while but I managed to track down a copy myself. It wasn't easy.
