P&D at 25 on Android and 72 on iOS (damn that disparity)
Brave Frontier is 23 on Android and 35 on iOS
Star Wars thingy is 33/52 respectively
and lastly Marvel War of Heroes is 35/46

weird why do all of them do better on Android

More competition on ios? Since the rankings are relative to one another. More useful metrics would be total amount grossed and gross per install base.

Not sure why people on the front page are disappointed in Ar nosurge's sales on Vita. Yeah, they're low, but so was the original release on PS3. Last time we got an update it was around 40k

it's lamenting Gust's declining fortunes more than expecting Ar Nosurge actually selling well.

I dont know where to go, though. I was thinking to go to Shibuya in front Tsutaya's store. But I guess Shinjuku Bic Camera will be busy too (the last video I took with the huge line for Smash Bros was there).

I have my pre-order in GamesMaya, is very far from my house, and I'm not gonna line there.
I already told the boss I will go to pick up my New 3DS the following day. After the rush.

Well, maybe a store more popular with MH players (if there's such a thing)?

Wii U has a lot of games confirmed to be 2015 in japan, i believe
Click to expand...

So for Wii U's 2015:
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes - 1/22
Yoshi's Wooly World
Kirby's Rainbow Curse
Mario Party 10
Mario Maker
Splatoon
Xenoblade X
Zelda U
Star Fox U?
Devil's Third

--
SMT x FE (at some point hopefully, no confirmation of a year or any screenshots of the game).

Mario Kart 8 DLC, Hyrule Warriors DLC... that's what we have so far right?

The vaporware will come out in 2015 and act as an offering to appease Xenoblade X. You're also missing Devil's Third.

The dedicated Japanese games industry has declined, but I don't think it's gotten to the point where 25 games consists of its entire output. ;-)

Obviously you can make a thread if you want to. I just don't think a sizzle reel of already known content is going to change anyone's opinion on the state of the JP development scene.

- Monster Hunter 4G pre-orders were 811k by the 5th of October.
Pre-orders might pass the 900k mark by its release, according to MC.

- Monster Hunter 4 final pre-orders were 1.117k. The last entry had stock supply problems. So if this entry has stock enough, it's possible to open with similar numbers.

Hardware is expected to reach 150k next week due to New 3DS release.

?

*only* 150k, or am I reading this wrong?

If it "only" does 150K then again, I'm kind of struggling to see how it ends up surpassing last Q4? The holiday weeks I can see being up, but they'd have to make up for continued shortfall in the preceding weeks?

Media Create says the 3DS has been down 50% all year and, considering that and the New 3DS launch, it should do at least 50% of what it did last year during the MH4 launch, which they put as 150k.

It's just their guess. *shrugs*

------------------------------------------

Media Create says all versions of PS2 KH2 sold 1.45 million. What I have:

[PS2] Kingdom Hearts II {2005-12-22} - 1,050,879
[PS2] Kingdom Hearts II - Final Mix+ {2007-03-29} - 264,722
[PS2] Kingdom Hearts II - Final Mix+ [Ultimate Hits] {2008-06-26} - 97,116
[PS2] Kingdom Hearts II [Ultimate Hits] {2008-06-26} - 12,419

= 1.425 million. Ok, just a 25k different due to their more updated number.

They also said all versions of PS2 KH1 sold 1.1 million.

[PS2] Kingdom Hearts {2002-03-28} - 824,862
[PS2] Kingdom Hearts - Final Mix {2002-12-26} - 360,131
[PS2] Kingdom Hearts - Final Mix [Ultimate Hits] {2005-09-08} - 147,565
[PS2] Kingdom Hearts [Ultimate Hits] {2005-09-08} - 109,045

= 1.441 million. Err... I think they forgot to include the first release of Final Mix.

---------------------------------

Kingdom Hearts is also this week's disagreement:

Dengeki [PS3] Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - 84,394
Dengeki [PS3] Kingdom Hearts Starter Pack HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX - 11,383
= 95,777

Famitsu [PS3] Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - 85,354
Famitsu [PS3] Kingdom Hearts Starter Pack HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX - 13,656
= 99,010

Media Create [PS3] Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX (including limited editions) - 84,935
= 84,935

Did MC really include these limited editions?

The shipment estimated isn't any better:

Dengeki [PS3] Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX [including 1.5 + 2.5 pack] - ~213,000
Media Create [PS3] Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX (including limited editions) - ~152,000

RIP Xbox 360. Dengeki is not reporting weekly hardware and software sales anymore.

Maybe Call of Duty will still appear in the top 50 this year for one last time.

Btw, Wii U JP release dates:
11/6 - Lego Movie Video Game
11/13 - Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
11/19 - Monster Hunter Frontier GG
11/20 - Fujiko F. Fujio Characters Daishuugou! SF Dotabata Party!
11/20 - Taiko no Tatsujin: Tokumori
11/27 - Gotouchi Tetsudou: Gotouchi Chara to Nihon Zenkoku no Tabi
12/4 - Watch Dogs
12/4 - Kamen Rider Summonride
12/6 - Smash Wii U
12/10 - Pac World 2
12/18 - Sonic Toon

It at least is targeting the kids demographic pretty heavily this time? That's also 11 titles in 2 months.

150k sounds pretty realistic for the N3DS launch week. I'd be surprised if it does significantly better than that.
Click to expand...
150k would honestly be pretty weak, and hilariously enough would make it fall even more behind in the YoY comparison

Hmm, I wonder how well Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will do in the long run.
There's no doubt it'll hold up much better compared to other Hunting game expansions, but is it possible that it'd end up with not that much of a decline?

Xbox One beat all expectations...

Smash Bros killed PhantomOfTheKnight and WinterDemons (and mine *sniff*) ranking by units, 32nd and 35th respectively, but they were still the best and third best predictor averaging all games. This must be the biggest difference between the two rankings so far (I don't keep track of that, just guessing). Maybe there's some calculation wrong. haha



-------------------

First day sell-through

There will be no info for MH4G or new 3DS because they release Saturday while the mid-week preview is only for Monday to Thursday sales. So, only irrelevant releases this week:

FIFA 15 (all): ~50%
Driveclub (PS4): ~40%
Majin Bone (3DS) and Choco Ken (3DS): killed by MH4G, the killer-soft...

- Monster Hunter 4G pre-orders were 811k by the 5th of October.
Pre-orders might pass the 900k mark by its release, according to MC.

- Monster Hunter 4 final pre-orders were 1.117k. The last entry had stock supplies. So if this entry has stock enough, it's possible to open with similar numbers.

Hardware is expected to reach 150k next week due to New 3DS release.

Wow, MH4G is really nailing it, isn't it?

Well all of them are 2015 games except GTAVHD, and KH3 clearly isn't a 2015 game.

FFXV 20XV HYPE!


It is for me too. I wonder why they changed it?

Thats what I wanted you to say lol. FFXV releasing in 2015 would be so good.

Yeah but isnt just the code, that you can redeem later in the year.

I'm sure you will be able to play the demo in March. Tabata said either day one or near launch.

Really wish we had this level of support year one instead of year two... but so glad it is finally coming^^ Things still look gloomy for Japan, but I would like to play some more Japanese games again^^

Not even the PS2 had that level of support year 1. These things take time.

first hints from MC for the N3DS could point at a good but not outstanding launch, as if the hold the normal 3DS was able to put on the table in the last few weeks was also due to a decent but not extraordinary interest in the revision.
On the other hand, MH4G seems ready to set a very solid debut.

I wouldn't call that a hint, it's a guess

You should also look at how much Nintendo will be able to ship.

From the looks of things, the peak of Monster Hunter will remain MHP3. It doesn't looks likely that Capcom will ever get there again, much like how Resident Evil 2 remains the peak of RE in Japan.
