Will it really? FF are usually front loaded with how things are going for PS4 It will have a hard time reaching 1 million in the first week. I'm not saying MK8 or Smash will outsell it I just think that the drop of for XV may be pretty substantial compared to previous FF's.

Well I guess it depends on how big the userbase is when FFXV launches. It's not like PS3 or PS2 had huge userbases when FFX and XIII launched. It could have insane attach rate. Personally I have just hard time to see even bigger drop. Half a million drop is already huge.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Even with another huge half million drop FFXV should sell at least something like 1.4 million. Really don't see MK8 selling that much without massive bundling (that could happen though).

I wonder what the install base will be though. And thus, the attach rate.

Could it reach 2.8 million install base and get a 50% attach rate? 50% would probably be too high so it'd need more than 3+ million PS4 sold by then.

 

[sörine]

I'm sure Sony will time a big price drop and/or new model around FFXV launch. Userbase will be an issue but not the biggest one against the game.

 

[Eolz]

This Capcom press release was from April 2013, this was before the first game launched.

Oh wow, I was worried. Thanks for the heads-up.

This week will be pretty good for software sales, don't really believe it'll be something a lot bigger than usual for the hardware.

 

[duckroll]

Are we likely to get weekend sales figures for Smash 3DS today? I think Famitsu and the publishers usually issue a press release when it's a huge title?

Yokai Watch x PDZ incoming.

Is ffxv ps4 exclusive in japan?

Most likely, actually with the way the xbone is selling, change that to a definite, considering 360 did alot better and still missed out. I doubt Sony moneyhatted SE to exclude FF on the 360 last gen.

 

[Busaiku]

Capcom trying to pull a Level 5 and failing like the losers they are.

I mean, granted Level 5 never did as poorly, but they did have Gundam Age.

FFXIII was released on the 360 in Japan.

even if it isn't technically exclusive (and it could be)

it's an exclusive

 

[Mario007]

FFXIII was released on the 360 in Japan.

Only the international version.

 

[sörine]

I think it's likely Sony incentivized Japanese exclusivity for FFXIII. There was no real reason the delay a 360 release otherwise.

 

[Mario007]

I think it's likely Sony incentivized Japanese exclusivity for FFXIII. There was no real reason the delay a 360 release otherwise.

Given how much the 360 version sold, despite then getting an exclusive release as the International version, I think that was a rare occasion of Square using common sense.

 

[hiska-kun]

So... Million?

 

[BishopLamont]

Oh right I forgot that the 360 eventually got the game, that does look like sony moneyhatted them, otherwise they would have released it simultaneous.

So... Million?

shipment was only 800k? Unless they shipped more on day 2? Was that the case?

first shipment is usually for whole weekend iirc?

Whats so common sense bout releasing the 360 version later when it practically already existed due to western release? Late ports always sell less for the most part.

 

[hiska-kun]

Sinobi said 800k first day shipment (初&#26085
Now the question is one million shipped or sold.

 

[crinale]

Nintendo just announced they shipped million copies, though.

[Nightengale]

Delayed release was probably incentivised.

Something like MGS Revengeance being PS3-only in Japan is business sensibility.

Well that just depends on how much they shipped on day 2. I think they would have, its no small game.

This.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/2014/140916.html

Depends when they shipped it though, it'll miss the charts if its too late.

 

[Aostia]

Including digital sales make me think that the million is sold, also because we saw a lot of sold outs. Btw in MC thread will be less than one million, due to eshop sales

great debut

 

[hiska-kun]

One million shipped first week (初&#36913. So yeah, it's shipment, not sold.

 

[crinale]

It's selling quite well so shipment and sold-through doesn't make much difference anyway IMO.

 

[BishopLamont]

nintendo and their damn artificial shortages.

 

[duckroll]

It's >1 million sold including eShop, and >1 million shipped retail.

 

[Aostia]

One million shipped first week (初&#36913. So yeah, it's shipment, not sold.

It seems sold one million including eshop, shipped slightly more than one million physical, probably to cover the three days holidays. Btw we saw the retail easiness in selling it

 

[ZSaberLink]

It's >1 million sold including eShop, and >1 million shipped retail.

Cool. That'd make it the 4th million seller in its first week, behind Pokemon, MH4 and YW2.

 

[BishopLamont]

so thats 1m shipped day 1 from nintendo? yeah it'll easily be 1m fw.

 

[duckroll]

so thats 1m shipped day 1 from nintendo? yeah it'll easily be 1m fw.

No. They shipped over 1 million during the weekend. 2 days. Day 1 shipments are irrelevant, since the game is getting restocked every day.

 

[BishopLamont]

ssb 3ds can easily sell 3m imo, mk7/nsmb2/sm3dl have all surpassed 2m, despite having console versions, brawl had even better legs in japan than every other wii game, 3m is an easy feat and only a matter of time imo, sometime next year, it'll easily surpass 2m this year alone.

its only like 1m more than brawl, which isn't a hard goal.

No. They shipped over 1 million during the weekend. 2 days. Day 1 shipments are irrelevant, since the game is getting restocked every day.

well thats still 1m for the weekend, supply = demand at this point.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

+1 million first day digital/retail? Looks like going handheld with the series was a good choice

I thought it would suck playing Smash on a handheld tbh, but the demo made me reconsider!

 

[extralite]

Most likely, actually with the way the xbone is selling, change that to a definite, considering 360 did alot better and still missed out. I doubt Sony moneyhatted SE to exclude FF on the 360 last gen.

It has been announced as multiplatform though and even is on the Japanese Xbox site:

http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/xbox-one/games/ffxv

 

[Aostia]

Will Xbone be behind PS4 and Wii U already?

 

[SwiftDeath]

Will Xbone be behind PS4 and Wii U already?

It should be in that range. I'm going to go with yes

 

[Hellraider]

Will Xbone be behind PS4 and Wii U already?

Yup.

 

[Aostia]

It should be in that range. I'm going to go with yes

Yup.

Yeah, I'm feeling the same. Probably they will be very close.

 

[Mario007]

Will Xbone be behind PS4 and Wii U already?

Considering PS4 has a bundle this week, definitely.

 

[BishopLamont]

It has been announced as multiplatform though and even is on the Japanese Xbox site:

http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/xbox-one/games/ffxv

I see, that confirms sony moneyhatted ff last gen for japan.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Considering PS4 has a bundle this week, definitely.

Destiny bundle? Or is that releasing later in Japan?

 

[Hellraider]

Considering PS4 has a bundle this week, definitely.

I really doubt whether things would have been different even without it. XB1 second week is gonna be beyond terrible.

 

[king zell]

let's flop together

 

[Mario007]

Destiny bundle? Or is that releasing later in Japan?

Released last week. Indication are it sold out in a couple of stores at least.

I really doubt whether things would have been different even without it. XB1 second week is gonna be beyond terrible.

Oh I agree, just saying that the Destiny bundle makes that a certainty. I'm expecting PS4 to outsell Xbone's launch week at the very least this week. Hoping for a 40-50k numbers actually. (Not that I would think Destiny itself is gonna push it, but rather the new color).

 

[BishopLamont]

The bundle should push 20k at the least imo, and its been away since ps4 has had any big new releases.

Project MIRAI Remix for the 3DS

Remix is title of the English version which was already announced: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/02/hatsune-miku-project-mirai-remix-coming-west-in-2015

Looks like this "new" announcement is a confirmation that it will also be (re-)released in Japan under the title "Project mirai Deluxe".

 

[BriBri]

Super Smash Bros has sold more digital copies than Tomodachi Collection (source: the eShop). If you care to work it out then this is a HUGE amount. Fire Emblem Awakening has also overtaken Tomodachi Collection!

Edit: looks like Nintendo are now including games free from promotions but not F2P games.

 

[Aostia]

The sony tgs site leak suggests that the sales landscape could seriously turn toward sony from early 15 on..cant wait for tgs to happen!

 

[Pennywise83]

The sony tgs site leak suggests that the sales landscape could seriously turn toward sony from early 15 on..cant wait for tgs to happen!

Because of... Revelations 2 for PSV?

I didn't see any earth-breaking announcement. Huge AAA IPs are still on 3DS and mobile.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Well nothing massive has been leaked but FFXV for 2015 could certainly happen.

GTA V for PS4 and Minecraft (if MS wants to publish it in JP which they should) will certainly help especially if they are coming out this year.

 

[Aostia]

Resident is a AAA game, passing from 3ds exclusive to everything except 3ds, inckuding the direct competitor on the portable segment. And it is the sum of all the games, going toward sony as a unique entity, that outstands, imho
