Anyone can say how Fatal Frame did?

47,458.

If we try a cross-tracker estimate, by combining it with Famitsu's digital sales estimate (4,972), it'd be at 52,430. But cross-tracker estimates aren't the most accurate estimates.

 

[allan-bh]

I never expected good sales for The Wonderful 101, but 18k is really bad.

 

[Ōkami]

Anyone can say how Fatal Frame did?

Wait, found it.

Did 47.458 on par with what Famitsu had.

Edit: Beaten

 

[hiska-kun]

Surely some of the DS pokeemon games must have sold more than 3 copies???

Media Create stopped tracking NDS in 2014
(They tracked 360 software that probably sold less than NDS -.-)

 

[Fisico]

I would definately not write off another bump as 5 nears.

A best version has been released earlier this year, it showed up a few times in MC top 50 already, with both SKU it should easily surpass the 350k mark and may end up closer to 400k at retail by the end of the year.

I knew they'd stopped tracking the hardware, didn't realise they'd stopped software too

 

[ZhugeEX]

HAHA how did MC track that?

Still sold more than Xbox One.....

 

[Pennywise83]

Yeah, Pokémon and Mario games, and Square Enix budget releases sold probably well in 2014.

 

[GloriousBagel]

Looks like P4G has had some legs.

And yet Atlus still won't properly support the Vita

 

[ThatRandomCliff]

I wonder, how well does Splatoon sales compare to the rest of Nintendo's IPs during their first month (of being a new IP)? I imagine it must be up there.

 

[ZhugeEX]

Thanks for posting the data Hiska. Really appreciate it.

Thanks to everyone who made it possible.

Now to crunch the numbers haha!

 

[Jigorath]

You'll get Persona 3 Dancing and like it!

 

[casiopao]

It seems to be brilliant actually!

The F??? I haven't heard anything except bad news there.....ohhh I remember this day, we find a new chapter with new SSR release? I guess that's the reason.^_^

 

[Vena]

Thanks for posting the data Hiska. Really appreciate it.

Thanks to everyone who made it possible.

Now to crunch the numbers haha!

When will we start crowd funding that new EeV atosecond pulsed, hydrogen fusion capable laser system Media Create Mystery Box? I hear it has a lot of photons sales data inside. We could even use it as a doomsday weapon to threaten world powers and hold the world ransom source of valued data to use for predicting trends and forming some forward going expectations.

They were also demoing Morpheus Miku at E3.

That wasn't Sega. The owners of Miku work with Sony on some stuff separate to the Project Diva series. They've made a couple of AR Vita games that were given out as PS+ freebies, for example.

Good idea. Had a quick check through, though, and it didn't chart in Famitsu top 30 on release, so no sell through %.

I'll have a more detailed look and see if anyone posted it some other time. Just wondering if it has sold through the first shipment yet, I'd have thought it would've received quite a big shipment given how Capcom were positioning it back then.

Japan not only likes Minecraft but it also must like Terraria. I found this interesting while looking throught the MC top 1000.

Retailers should include a free copy with every Nintendo 3DS system sold, that will be the only way to get rid of all unsold stock. It's worth noting that there is a big discrepancy between Famitsu and Media Create since the former has it at 84.000 units shipped.

Edit:

[3DS] Gaist Crusher: God <ACT> (Capcom) {2014.09.04} (¥5.389) - 3.268 / NEW <25,11%> [13.015 units shipped]

Anpanman is much older than pokemon.

anime: 1988 - still going (1250+ episodes)

 

[Nirolak]

Ohhh, did it have an anime to support the game?

Even so, isn't that more than the usual?

Sure, but basically Capcom sold retailers on this being their next big franchise in Japan.

They already had a similar, extremely successful series going in the form of Monster Hunter, and they managed to have one of the best performing new IPs last generation with Dragon's Dogma.

The company they were riffing on also made a long series of very successful products and even for their worse performers, they'd be hard pressed not to sell 100K.

Retailers took a bet on Capcom, not wanting to be left out if the series took off, and it blew up in their face. Every time an event like this happens, they get more cautious across the board, which is why you see so many undershipped titles these days.
