Very nice.
Only 3DS XL is getting discontinued.
Yeah, DA:I's debut is pretty nice, especially considering how the PS4 SKU was the clear winner here...something that I think didn't happen since Destiny, right? I mean, aside from Japanese games, other titles on both PS3 and PS4 saw very close debuts between the two consoles, didnt' they?

Expected way more sales for Nova. Another franchise dying ... or on the false platform.
Dragon Age: Inquisition sold more on PS4 than on PS3. A hint that particularly people oriented to play western games buy PS4 in Japan.
Another Etrian Odyssey type game? Seems they release a new one every week ...

Oh. I thought the OG models also are included. That's odd.

AC is a constant seller; last week increase was not that big, and anyway holiday season for some titles begins earlier (other 3DS games were already increasing).
While I agree that quite a few ppl (not that many though) may have bought digital version, I also think that lukewarm reception of the first demo has something to do with low sales
And as for decent sales of Phantasy Star franchise on PSP was, eh, really should have been helped by Monster Hunter also (not saying PSP entries were bad, just to make sure).
Weird. I wonder why the held back PS4 and One?

To be fair PS Portable series is part of the PS Universe franchise, while Nova is not.
And the Etrian Odyssey Untold games are remakes.
Below expectations, sure, but they didn't sold SO BAD

07./04. [3DS] Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate # <ACT> (Capcom) {2014.10.11} (¥6.264) - 27.001 / 2.254.777 <80-100%> (-1%)
Let's see how it will hold during holidays. It might be around 2.5m before the end of the holidays.
06./05. [3DS] Yo-kai Watch 2: Ganso / Honke <RPG> (Level 5) {2014.07.10} (¥4.937) - 31.122 / 2.916.899 <80-100%> (+33%)
09./09. [3DS] Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS <FTG> (Nintendo) {2014.09.13} (¥5.616) - 16.060 / 1.820.166 <80-100%> (+19%)
Evergreen titles in full force. YW2 will definitely sell 3m even with the expansion coming. SSB is going to reach the 2m mark in January.
27./13. [3DS] Sumikko Gurashi: Koko ga Ochitsukundesu <ETC> (Nippon Columbia) {2014.11.20} (¥5.184) - 4.878 / 15.179 <40-60%> (-53%)
Nice hold for the next 3DS sleeper hit!

Holy bomba week.
I can't even begin to offer an explanation on Phantasy Star Nova's sales, they're miles worse than I was expecting, even with massively lowered expectations thanks to radio silence/demo/COMG.
Etrian Odyssey seems to have underperformed too, especially since all the original reports said that the series was always consistent in sales.
And Hero Bank... I dunno why they bothered.
On the plus side, Fate/Hollow did really well. Senran Kagura did alright for an already released game too, imo, and Dragon Age is a decent opening.
Can't really call it on Edo Blacksmith and Resi Remaster. They don't seem like great sales, but it depends what expectations were.
Wonder which tracker is correct on 3DS sales... bit of a difference there. Vita bump is cool, but won't be sustained =/

The first started with 17k units and it ended up with 50k+ LTD; not a big deal, but enough to get a sequel. The game never went in bargain bins, so I guess it was mildly successful for Sega. Also, probably a sequel was anyway planned.
Sega originally expected 500k units. Then the company revised the forecast, but I doubt they expected less than 300-350k units.
That is hilarious
With a first week like this they'll be lucky to even make 200k now. Sega should've probably made it PS3 multi.

Don't think so. I think has something to do with NCL stopping production of them soon. Maybe those who didn't have one by now, got one for prosperity.

Oof.
Disappointing numbers for both Nova and EOU2.
I think some were right when they posited that PSO2's continued popularity may have bit into Nova's strength.
All told, PS Nova is an excellent, excellent game.
I hope this is just an isolated dip, as I'm still expecting some fairly sizable numbers for GE2:RB in a few months. I'm all in on the PS4 version, and with online infrastructure already in place, that promises to be a dynamite release.

Aww yeah
Already got mined pre-ordered (together with Dragon Quest Heroes, Yakuza 0 and Type 0 HD).

I hate this world.
I'll stay positive but I hope it's just a reaction to Untold not being that great, maybe they'd even rethink the whole changes to the series that have been made since Untold.

It seems more like the bolded than anything else, same deal as Gaist Crusher. I just kinda thought they would've halted those kind of plans when they saw everything else of this kind crater (Gyrozetter; Gaist Crusher and their original game).
Maybe the holidays will save it. Doesn't seem like a particularly worthwhile venture though.

Isn't this supposed to be the beginning of holiday uptick...?
Also big discrepancy again between the trackers on 3DS.

especially for the Wii U, Vita too just not this week lol
"Everything" being first day sales and YSO predictions.

To be fair, they weren't too accurate this week although it is true that at least they were pretty spot on with Phantasy Star Nova (around 120k).
