Probably want people to focus on 3ds version for now.
He said that it is a children's game, and thus the only real option is the 3DS (not smartphones).
Maybe i'm asking too much. But there's any thread for the Road to TGS, or at least a link to check what was announced since you started until now?
I'll go whip something up that's easily accessible. Perhaps a google doc with clickable links to the posts.
That would be great, thanks.

*sigh* if it ain't Planes, it's Trains with Sonic Powered, how about a more meaningful retail 3DS game eh?!
Trying to find info about MTO's game, for ONCE it sounds like it's NOT a pet game!
Edit: My attempts of finding info resulted in interpreting that it's about... Running Shoes?

I guess he's saying that the only viable option was 3DS, and that smartphones will be used to promote the game; they already have an app dedicated to YW, apparently.
If they keep developing those games, probably they are profitable
selling 10k is not that bad, also because they are the same game with a different skin.NamikazeBurst

The Tomorrow Children is a PS4 title.

Sorry I meant to write PS4, but got so used to typing PS3 for these lists.
That I know, but Road to TGS counts anything from Japanese developers from August 1st to the end of TGS regardless of where it was announced.
Don't worry, even being extremely generous this list is still super depressing for every platform.
I only have the final list: http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=83263149
It looks like I didn't include tiny publishers that year, since I think I made that list after the fact to illustrate how bad the TGS timeframe was.

aww yeah. Glad Compile heart is focusing on polishing on what already seems like a masterpiece.
Bullet Girls beating The Last of Us Remastered and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls.

LOL. Gotta give them credit though for being among the first few third party developers to release a game for PS4. It's a shame big companies like Bandai Namco, Capcom and Square Enix still struggle or can't be bothered to take a step forward.
Well, always better than nothing
Thanks!Btw, I suppose there should also be Hero Bank 2 among the Road to TGS announcement...didn't it get announced in the Road's timeframe?

Hooefully, my count isn't wrong
Also there are 4 PS4 titles unless you're not counting The Tomorrow Children.
What a weird feeling to finally see an XB1 title listed in Japan.
The launch is less than two weeks away, much excitement among the Japanese gamers?
Doesn't look like it, at least according to Amazon.co.jp.

Xbox One Titanfall bundle is the best selling but only ranks #55 in the overall Games category.

Seems like One Piece Super Gigant Battle X releases on November 13.
Wow. That is a lot of software that is nowhere to be found on PS4. A lot of the games that people were buying during the first six months of PS2 and PS3 haven't even been announced for PS4.
You've got:
-Japanese Wrestling game
-Armored Core (or any From Software game)
-Street Fighter (and EX3 was a shitty spin off. They couldn't even get a shitty spin off out?)
-Dynasty Warriors
-Japanese Baseball game
-Dead or Alive
-Kessen (lets just say Koei game)
-Tekken
-Ridge Racer
-Virtua Fighter (So many fighting games. What's going on with fighting games in 2014?)
-Mobile Suit Gundam
As far as I know, the only games announced for PS4 that are even remotely related to the list above is Tekken 7 (2015), Bloodborne (A From Software title, 2015), and Guilty Gear (A fighting game, 2014). I understand that with mobile/handheld domination in Japan, it's probably not worth the effort to even try and make sequels to the games listed above on PS4, but still. It's a damn shame.
Instead, during the first 6 months of PS4, the only games released that are really aimed at the Japanese market have been:
-MGS V demo (also on PS3)
-Yakuza (also on PS3)
-FIFA 14 (also on PS3)
-Final Fantasy XIV (also on PS3)
That's kinda pathetic.
I don't know if we're looking at the same thing but all 3 of those lists look equally terrible.
What's important is the sales figures, not quality of games (they are all terrible, no doubt). The PS3 release schedule and especially PS2 appealed to the Japanese market a great deal more than PS4s, hence the higher sales.
Really? For some reason I'm having a really hard time finding a master list of PS4 games in Japan. I figured if they were out they'd crack the top 10... which isn't particularly hard to crack.
I'd say FIFA has worldwide appeal. Obviously not squarely aimed at the Japanese market specifically.

There was already a Dynasty Warriors game on PS4. It did about as well as Warriors 3 Orochi Hyper on Wii U.
PS4 Dynasty Warriors 8 with Xtreme Legends 13,576 40,823 Koei Tecmo 2014-02-22
WIU Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper 6,184 35,000 Koei Tecmo 2012-12-08
Huh. Missed that. From what I can gather, it was released for PS3 in February 2013, then re-released on PS4 a year later?
Yeah, doesn't really count. How many of those high selling PS2 games were cross-gen with PS1? Or PS3 games with PS2? While these "remasters" seems to be doing decently well in the West, Japan really doesn't seem to give a fuck about updated graphics. If the game is for PS3, and cheaper, that's the version they're going to buy.
It's a decently large Japanese third party. They've always sold well on Sony platforms. A new Armored Core would have been a great launch or 2014 title for PS4. ANY Japanese third party, PS4 exclusives would have been great.
Keep in mind for PS3 sales...
PS3 launch price: ¥59,800
PS4 launch price: ¥39,980
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (PS3) outsold everything on PS4 so far besides Knack, which is a pack in.
Here's a list of everything release on PS4 in Japan to date.
It looks like you're using Famitsu data. Orochi 3 Hyper's reporting period is nine months. DW8XL is four.

According to japanltdrank (Famitsu data), FIFA 14 on PS4 is already the best selling at 100K (w/ the promotion included I assume since it lists 31K downloads).

Yesssssss
Theres one on PS2 that did 252k
The PS4 one is already at 100k and has outsold the PS3 FIFA's as far as I know. It also seems the PS4 user base adopts western games better than its predecessors.
I'd say FIFA14 has been partially influenced by the special PS4 bundle and the fact it had an 80% discount for Plus users.

FIFA 98 did around 455k on PS1 thanks to the World Cup and being launched something like two or three weeks before Winning Eleven 3 (which was the first successful Winning Eleven in Japan)
I'd say FIFA14 has been partially influenced by the special PS4 bundle and the fact it had an 80% discount for Plus users.
I'd say FIFA14 has been compeltely influenced by the total lack of releases on the PS4
Edit: nvm.
I was wondering when the non-port iOS games would start hitting.
