The PS3 & PS4 versions of Dragon Ball Xenoverse are closer than we imagine. PS3 version is just only 9,531 copies higher than the PS4 version.

Are Japanese gamers finally waking up?

I think the Wii U and 3DS are doing good YOY, considering software releases. The PS4 is doing good as well, I wonder how much it will continue to increase come March.

Don't you mean it's over 9000 copies higher?

As for DB Xenoverse, the good word of mouth led to stock issues.
Quite a contrast compared to ToZ, as both are from Bamco :p

But seriously it usually goes other way around, since franchised game from Bamco are usually meh, with a few possible exceptions to stand out.
 
PS4 doing good. Will probably improve as more software gets released.
Wii U going down and probably has no chance getting back up at this point.
3DS on its last legs, waiting for a successor.
Vita struggling to keep alive.
XB1 taking its last breath before its official demise.
PS3 duking it out with Wii U despite its old age.

This will probably repeat throughout the year.

Not an asshole.
Few questions:

Is there similar data for sales of mobile phones in Japan?
Also any chance of revenue data from Japanese game developers with their mobile games?

Thing is, a fair few of those games are also available on the Vita as well as the PS3.

That's the main problem right there.

Japanese 3rd party publishers just need to make their games PS4 exclusive if they want to see more increased PS4 console sales in their region.
 
Dragon Ball Xenoverse deserved a PSV port too but I guess they were going for the whole "next gen" angle for the game. That's what I got from its initial reveal despite it being on PS3 as well.

How a release date can change everything.

I suppose it's safe to expect, on average (with bumps along the way)....

PS4 @ around 20k a week
WiiU & PS3 @ around 5k a week
Vita @ around 10k a week
3DS @ around 30k a week
XOne @ <500 a week

....for this year.
Which PS4 exclusives are going to push it to 20k on average?

I thought Xenoverse would sell a lil more.

From last thread:

hiska-kun said:
According to Tsutaya, Dragon Ball Xenoverse sold 140% of the last entry. All versions had stock problems, limiting their potential sales.

Media Create:
[PS3] Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (Bandai Namco Games) {2014.01.23} (¥7.480) - 30.192 / NEW
[PSV] Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (Bandai Namco Games) {2014.01.23} (¥6.480) - 22.901 / NEW

Tsutaya says that pre-orders for Zelda: Majora's Mask are strong and is expected to top the charts by a good margin the following week.
Samurai Warriors 4-II PS3 > PS4 is expected, but PS4 should sell better than other entries.
After SW4-II, The Seven Deadly Sins (3DS) will follow.

Media Create:
Battle of Z - 53.093
Xenoverse - 78.911 (148%)

Expected

So it did Okay-ish compared to recent games, that's good I guess. Was just hoping for a little bigger of a launch.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse deserved a PSV port too but I guess they were going for the whole "next gen" angle for the game. That's what I got from its initial reveal despite it being on PS3 as well.

The game has a hard enough time running on the last gen systems, I don't think a Vita port is the best idea.

The road to 50k a week begins. The PS4 will finally be able to replace the PS3 in the eyes of all hardcore Japanese console gamers! These 8 weeks will determine the future of Japan forever! Rejoice and board the train! Choo-choo!

I thought Kirby was a more popular franchise in Japan, it's doing pretty bad.

It will have amazing legs like all Kirby games. When we get the yearly results we'll all be surprised at how well it sold off the charts. This is true for most casual franchises actually lol

The true domination will begin when they release The Last Guardian. The Japanese public will see the error of their ways and rid themselves of portables and mobiles.

I love how awesomely sensationalist this is, but there's a mobius strip of snark since it's also 100%, word-for-word astute.

FF Type-0 will be an interesting barometer for RPGs, especially since Japan has seen it before. The raw numbers will probably look horrible.
Disgaea 5 getting buried under Bloodborne.
Curious to see how Dark Souls II does vs Bloodborne.

Hopefully the release schedule after April will keep up the great releases
