Dragon Quest VIII having a good launch despite the mobile version.
Yo-Kai Watch and Splatoon with the crazy holds
Nice to see Rhythm Heaven going back up.
To think that before it launched. My most positive guess before launch would have been 1 million WW end 2015.
squid romance... option? Just make Splatoon emblem. No human option needed.
Might even be more successful than a certain other FE crossover

It will reach 1 million in japan alone.With Digital is over 700k.

Yup, pretty good for a retail version of a F2P game.
Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that the game is at over 700K downloads already between PS4 and PC.
He's using Famitsu. XBO LTD > 360 launch on Media Create.
Amusingly PS4 will then fall back behind Wii U again due to staggered holiday launches. And then probably pass it again depending on how much DQ Builders pushes it this holiday. Should be a fun next several months aligned.
Still a much worse ratio than PSO2 Vita's 60-70k retail on ~500k downloads. I'm not really sure if DDO retail numbers are pretty good or not.
160,000 units were sold to retailers and 62,000 units were purchased by consumers during the launch weekend.
My first prediction was 1.5 million WW lifetime, back in June 2014.
I never understand why people thought it was going to bomb... of course nobody expect this success, but i mean...
... you know.Funny, i change my prediction to 3 million before the game release, and now, i expect over 5 million. xD
Splatoon will probabily hit 3 million by end of year ( i expect 3,220,000, 600,000 in Q3 Jul-Sep, and 1,000,000 in Q4 Oct-Dec), and 1 million in both US and Japan.
Almost. VIIIr is on track to outsell or already has outsold the GBC remakes, Wii I-III Collection and probably all the mobile conversions. Plus old conversions we don't have numbers for like the MSX ports. And the various versions of DQX too, although MMOs are a different beast.
It's also outperforming all the spinoffs except the Monsters subseries. Well ahead of Torneko, Slime Morimori, Yangus, Fortune Street, Swords, Theathrythm, Heroes and others. I bet Builders debuts behind it too.
I don't think Persona is going to make that list given the split.
Mario Maker.

SRPG games (besides FE) don't sell much these days though, so even if it's released on system with higher user base sale wouldn't change much.

That hasn't been occurring since Splatoon, lol.
talking ytd not weekly sales
The Lifetime sales are on the list. See Total (until week 34 since it disn't charted this week).
Not seeing it
Oooh, okay.
I mean, nothing is particularly good here. And software is very bad across the board if you're not the 3DS. Moving console hardware is great and all but software is the blood and its seemingly missing.
After MGSV, we're basically out of big releases for any console.

Is Persona 5 not a big deal in Japan?
There's also Star Ocean, Dragon Quest Builders, and World of Final Fantasy. I'm interested in how all of those games sell but Builders and World of Final Fantasy are the most interesting to me.
I forgot P5, actually, lol.
None of those are a big deal except DQ:B, and we have no release date as far as I am aware.
You're right, that's why I'm interested in how they sell. If World of Final Fantasy can make it to like 250-300k on PS4 I think that'd pretty great, the thing is it's also on the vita and the game appears to suit a handheld more than a console. I think Star Ocean will do pretty well. Not anything huge though.
Woah. Aside from the mismatch in demographics, I don't think Final Fantasy is a strong enough brand for what is effectively Pokemon.
Yass! That Until Dawn impacT!
Dude The Witcher did over 150k, I don't think 250-300k is that far out of bounds.

On the off chance someone has some insight on this, is Yoru no nai Kuni doing as great as COMG is insinuating? From the research I've done on past Gust games performance on COMG it seems like they all barely get any points before release (usually below 20). This game however has 74pts a month before it's released, not even counting the PS3 Skus.
Could this game be a big hit for Gust/Koei or do you guys think it'll fail to reach 100k LT like most recent Gust JRPGs?
Compare target demographics vs. products in question.
Yes, one of those is a damaged brand and spin-off targeting a near non-existent demographic for the console. You put way to much stock in the "Final Fantasy" brand without questioning the product being offered.
The other is a massive (W)RPG targeting an existing and growing "core" demographic with somewhat western aligned sales tastes (which would be the people who were buying this console in the first place given the otherwise lacking software offerings early on).
Let's look at where the brand stood most recently:
First with a sequel (not exactly a spin-off) that targeted the demographic of the series even if the product was hot garbage on a considerably healthier console and population.
- [PS3] Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII <RPG> (Square Enix) {2013.11.21} (¥7.770) - 24.694 / 421.329 (277.082 <71,98%>)
- [PS4] Final Fantasy Type-0 HD # <RPG> (Square Enix) {2015.03.19} (¥7.344) - 92.094 / NEW <59,59%>
- [PS3] Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster <Final Fantasy X \ Final Fantasy X-2> <RPG> (Square Enix) {2013.12.26} (¥7.140) - 114.025 / 299.944 (185.918 <80,93%>)
- [3DS] Final Fantasy Explorers <RPG> (Square Enix) {2014.12.18} (¥6.264) - 210.869 / 210.869 (161.197 <72,54%>)
I am not saying its impossible, but I don't see any indication of such a result especially given the misaligned demographics with a game that would have been better off and made more sense being on the Vita and 3DS than on the PS4 of all things. I'd say such numbers are a reach for the Vita.
More than 40k, for sure. Almost in every PS4 medium-big game so far, (those with more than 100k) that has been the number.

Japanese publishers have been putting AAA money into making mobile games for a while now, but I was watching this trailer for World End Eclipse and it struck me how entire portions of the video are barely distinguishable from mid / big budget JRPGs of yore
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ItSo-cIirnw&hd=1&feature=youtu.be
I mean of course they try to obfuscate the mobage portions of the title, but as of late in some of these videos it's getting difficult to pinpoint the "yep that's mobile gaming as heck"

i think 40k boast will be becoming less often as PS4 has been selling ~15k per week instead of <10k per week as was the case last year. So i expect to see less huge boast for PS4. But with MGS5 i do think 40k boast is going to happen because its going to be >300k release instead of just breaking 100k.

I know your probably just talking about the PS4 version but do you think the game will struggle to reach 300k overall? If so I think you may be cutting the game short if you're judging it's potential off of a sequel nobody wanted and a remaster nobody in Japan asked for. Now obviously the game could bomb but considering not only is it targeting the younger demographic but also older fans of the series by being a more traditional JRPG it could do quite well overall.
Evidence to that is the fact that out of all the games you listed the only one that I'd consider to have done well when you look at its sales as a whole is the FFX/X-2 remaster. Which just happens to be a not only more traditional JRPG but also a game that fans of the series actually wanted to see,
just not as bad as the FF VII remake haha
Hopefully during TGS we get more info on how the the gameplay is going to be handled because that is what I think will determine how well World of Final Fantasy performs.
