doesnt matter they will boost PS4...anyone thinking consoles were dead in japan are over reacting, yes it is not what it used to be but ps4 has had nothing this year, yet last few months it's baseline keeps increasing, when DQ, MGS, FF, Bloodborne, Y
s, Disgaea and others release, plus a price drop next year ps4 will be healthy in japan.
Japan was always going to be a slow burn and slow start. it will get better for ps4 there, and already is.

They are Playstation exclusives and still it can help the PS4 sales to boost considering other PS4 exclusives like UC4, Tomorrow children, Ratchet, Order, many japan related and 3rd party cross/gen exclusives etc., which will help PS4 sales little overall by keeping its momentum better because of its game diversity that it offers compared to other platforms next year.

It will be interesting which version ends up selling better or if they´ll do about the same.

Depressing.
Neither is DQ and its bundle just pushed PS4 to 68k.

There'll be a bundle for type-0 too, right? Can't wait to see the inevitable bundles for KH III and FFXV.
Cause there is no PS3 bundle.
...In Japan?
Do you think there is going to be a PS3 bundle of any of those games in 2015? lol
Or that there is anyone left in those audiences who doesn't own a PS3 and would've bought a bundle?

Doesn't matter, they will all help ps4 baseline to keep improving like it has, heck we have seen western games boost ps4...even though they are also on ps3. Ps4 will do fine in japan longterm.

Yay, it's rising for the holidays
. I hope it will stay in the top 30 for the remainder of the year. Together with our last known Yoshi number in the US, 287k after june, it's at over half a million between those two regions. Too bad it will probably not reach a million worldwide though .

If pulling such numbers is considered as saved... we've clearly reached lower baselines :/

You think Sony will be doing ps3 bundles in 2015? ROFL.
Still amazing considering the game is not out and I heard it was very expensive bundel.
Where old 3DS models exploded this week.

I want to visit the 8 people who bought a psp and shake their hands.
One of the guys who works at Compile Heart mentioned the other day the he wants DQ11 on PS4.
Hilarious as it turned the Japanese forums into a system war frenzy for the game like any mention of it does >.>

Wearing gloves though
It's great for PS4 but what? Wii U pulled higher numbers than that this week just last year, these numbers aren't unheard of a console even recently.
Some are getting carried away with the PS4 saved thing.
Next year.

Well, at least this cements that give or take, all of Sony's core markets will have sold >1mil PS4s within a year of release or so.
If till the release of Main DQ on PS4 is a DQ Bundel every week, yes sure...

Nintendo Wii U -I wonder if Type-0 HD will do well in Japan. I am guessing people that wanted the game already played the PSP version at some point. It will be interesting to see if the FFXV demo will lead to good 1st week numbers.
Dragon Quest Heroes numbers will also be interesting for next year.
I know a lot of games are cross-gen but:
New Ys
DQ Heroes
MGS V
FF Type-0 HD
Disgaea 5
Persona 5
And a few others. I'm expecting a decent year for the PS4.

While PS4 did great considering its current standards (certainly much more than I expected), I'd say sorine is right here. First of all, we need to see how much the console will hold next week.
Also, MC will share DQ bundle numbers, right? So, we know both its impact on overall numbers (surely big) and, above all, basically Dragon Quest Heroes' first week on PS4 XD

Isn't there a Japan MGSV bundle next year? Ps4 will have a good year in Japan next year.
Depending on how the rest of this month goes, for 2014 we could be looking at the Yokai Watch franchise having about 6 million unit sales, and the Pokemon franchise with 3 million unit sales. Pretty interesting year for Level-5.
Looked on my database for yearly sales of franchises according to Famitsu.
Code:
Only over 6 million:
Pokémon 1999 7,378,495
Mario 2007 7,061,525
Mario 2006 6,567,966
Pokémon 2010 6,186,505
Mario 2012 6,101,752
Pokémon 2006 6,003,889
3rd party peak by franchise:
Dragon Quest 2004 5,252,052
Yo-Kai Watch 2014 5,249,786 (year not over yet)
Final Fantasy 1997 5,031,972
Monster Hunter 2010 4,751,157It would be interesting to see the total over any 52 week as well, but that's more complicated to calculate.
And still worse than Wii U it's first two Decembers. Saved!

Safe to say the PS4 is as good as dead in Japan when a Western title pushes sales.
