Nobody talks about Vita anymore. It's like it's stuck in limbo between doing well and death.

It's not really weird. It's a niche device that serves its niche well, and that's that; not dying, not a worldbeater. I still see them being played on trains every day, and expect to for years (plenty of people still rock PSPs). There's a market for it, but because of mobile that market's not big enough to justify a lot of big budget releases, so it'll stay in this groove and slowly coast downward over the next 2-3 years.

Considering there's no PC ports of 999 or VLR yet and it was a full retail priced VN, that is actually a pretty great number for ZTD on Steam. Even the bigger named $30+ VNs on Steam can't pull those numbers without multiple sales, ZTD doing it at full price in this amount of time is amazing.

I also wouldn't look into those Coven numbers too much just yet, since the game had pretty big stock issues in it's first week.

Yeah, I would say 10k for a full priced game released during a freaking Steam sale (seriously, who planned this) without releasing previous versions on Steam first is very good. Especially when looking at Japanese numbers.

999/VLR should have gotten released first and preferably a few months back. Hell, why not do 999/VLR PS4 bundle?

Isn't UK like close? When it comes to home console market overall it should be bigger than Japan thanks to Xbox. If I'm not mistaken.

I believe that both home console markets are relatively close because the Wii U has made up for any losses from Xbox One.

Was just talking about Sony but yeah the UK should be bigger console wise.
Think UK was bigger last gen also if i remember right .

Your lack of love for ZTD makes me sad, Japan.

That makes sense.

I've just checked and PS4 passed 3 million back in January in UK but it launched few months early there.

Refrain is holding really well. Would be great if it can reach 50K total.


Ah so this is what the blog's hint was referring to. Muttley's laugh "shishishishi" LOL.

Ah yes, I wondering why there was no leaks this week (I guess hiska-kun simply forgot?). But yeah, that was an obvious hint.

 

[Nirolak]

Japan will be just like a EU country for Sony when it comes to the console market sales.
Still i don't think the games that coming out are about pushing the PS4 and more about just selling software for there companies .
Them selling some consoles is just a side a effect but most of these companies already know Japan is a dead end .

Isn't UK like close? When it comes to home console market overall it should be bigger than Japan thanks to Xbox. If I'm not mistaken.

Right, and I think from Sony's overall perspective of moving hardware, that's fine.

However, I assumed that Sammy's point was more about the type of software Japanese publishers were putting on the system and that they wanted it to work out in the region due to the taste discrepancy between the West and Japan. The games selling the UK or Italy or France are generally the same ones moving in the US and Canada, so you can treat it as one larger market with some differences as opposed to a very different market.

after 3 weeks (Famitsu numbers) :

(PSV) Taiko no Tatsujin V Version - 61,653
(3DS) Taiko no Tatsujin - 62,925


someone said that comparison was worthless after the first week but at least it held up 3 weeks



MC numbers:
(PSV) Taiko no Tatsujin V Version - 66,959
(3DS) Taiko no Tatsujin - 51,800

uhm... I will start considering MC numbers much more

 

[Aters]

ZTD sales....
I know it's niche, didn't know it's THAT niche.

From what I heard, this SRW OG is a pretty mediocre entry, I don't expect long legs.

That was nice of Nintendo to help Yacht Club games publish Shovel Knight in Japan

Sega guy just tweeted Miku FT already passed their sales target, nice.

 

[Maniel]

So with Tales of Zestiria ps4 coming out next week, what is latest numbers we have on the ps3 version? Also any predictions on how the ps4 version will sell? I'm thinking it will end it's run at around 20k.

 

[HardRojo]

Awful numbers for ZTD, but I hope sales overseas more than make up for them. I have yet to get the game, as a I want to replay 999 and VLR first and I'll finally have some time come next week.

 

[Sectorseven]

Is cross gen going to be a thing for the PS4's entire lifecycle?

 

[StereoVsn]

Right, and I think from Sony's overall perspective of moving hardware, that's fine.

However, I assumed that Sammy's point was more about the type of software Japanese publishers were putting on the system and that they wanted it to work out in the region due to the taste discrepancy between the West and Japan. The games selling the UK or Italy or France are generally the same ones moving in the US and Canada, so you can treat it as one larger market with some differences as opposed to a very different market.

I think they will basically target Japan alongside rest of Asia as I would think Japan, S.Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, HK, etc. have similar tastes as far as games go, at least compared to the Wesrern markets.

Square Enix has announced that their iOS/Android game, Kai-ri Sei Million Arthur, is getting a PS Vita and PS4 port this year: http://app.famitsu.com/20160707_767902/

The original game, Kaku-San-Sei Million Arthur, received a PS Vita port in 2013 and a 3DS one in 2014. While the smartphone version of this entry has since been shutdown, the dedicated handheld ones continue to operate.

ZTD sales..... why why why

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Huum, PS4 is doing way better than i expect, though it would be ~15K by now.

Let's See if hold in July, should probabily be in The 18-20K range.


...Didn't expect a Splatoon increase, amazing maybe that last Splatfest + new Amiibo + New Music store + General insane Marketing is doing a great job.

Next week will be very interesting with The Bundle.

 

[Vena]

My issue with this argument is that those all exist on the Wii U and that's not exactly going places.

If you mean you expect their handheld to do well though, that's presumably going to be the primary Gen 9 dedicated platform in Japan.

The 3DS exists and makes the WiiU all but redundant outside of Splatoon. On top of that the 3DS has far more of said strong IP and some are outright missing from the WiiU.

My point then arises from the idea that the NX would not have this split. But I fully expect a/the handheld to completely dominate over the console version.

I was building off of Sammy's point, ultimately, though.

 

[Shizuka]

Coven is performing better than most recent N1 new IPs. I'm glad it worked, hoping they turn it into a series.

Too bad for Zero Time Dilemma!

EDIT: Famitsu numbers in few hours, I'm at work now. I'll be working also on Q2 numbers and on Half Year numbers for both Media Create and Famitsu.

[Ōkami]

It took FireRed/LeafGreen about 7 years to sell 3m too, the pace at which OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire sold is very good, much better legs than X/Y too.

Famitsu retail + digital

Super Mario Maker: 991.431

A couple more weeks, Wii U will end up with 4 million sellers at the end, insane given the install base, it's 4 times as much as the PS3 or GameCube had, back in 2013 there were doubts a single game would sell that much.

Good for a console that won't outsell the WonderSwan.

 

[Jigorath]

Overwatch has done pretty well.

It's not over for Brawl yet. It should be over 800k now.

 

[Eolz]

Wow @ June prediction league results. Underestimated Story of Seasons and overestimated Taiko more than the others. Still, great result!
Interesting titles to predict.

did you trip up?

 

[Refreshment.01]

There is no slim as far as anyone is aware.

On the flip side, Nintendo has healthy, major IPs for the market. Sony has failed in cultivating anything internal, and third parties are failing to find strong successes or growing bases with standard IP marching (if they don't launch on the Vita). Nintendo has the healthiest and strongest stable to pull from, the question would be how they do so, if a handheld is involved (or when one gets involved), and when they do so.

Splatoon 2, at this point, feels like a more relevant would-be release than most third party and first party offerings in Japan.

i think the NX will be in mobile form in Japan. One form factor is the handheld and maybe, the other is a device that ataches to Smartphones with an standard set of Nintendo controls and a cartridge slot.

It just makes too much sense for Nintendo not to try to piggyback on Smartphones in some way. Is the most sensible way to ensure that people would carry one of their handheld devices withouth them downright making a Nintendo Smartphone or partnering with a phone maker.

 

[saichi]

Also I clearly remember a big narrative here about Taiko performing "horribly" on PS Vita because it did 100K.

the narrative still holds true.

 

[Chris1964]

after 3 weeks (Famitsu numbers) :

(PSV) Taiko no Tatsujin V Version - 61,653
(3DS) Taiko no Tatsujin - 62,925


someone said that comparison was worthless after the first week but at least it held up 3 weeks.

If you are referring to me use my name, don't use tactics of specific annoying posters and misinterprent my words.

If the new 3DS Taiko is as packed as I read it won't have problem reaching 2nd Taiko 3DS LTD numbers but 1st is unreachable. Taiko Vita won't be a worthing comparison after the first weeks.

[Devilgunman]

Seems low for a SRW OG title.

Maybe people wait for Eng version? I know I do.

 

[Jubern]

Wait so what's the deal with SRW OG anyway?

When it was first announced I thought it was a Gaiden-like spinoff because of the lack of a number and not that much new units (from what I could see).
- Then I saw it was priced like a main series entry.
- Then there were people saying it actually WAS OG3rd and that they just removed the number in order to appeal to new players (both in and out of Japan).
- Now I read it's disappointing and stuff.

So I'm pretty confused. Is it more :
- The real OG3rd, akin to 2nd quality-wise and actively continuing its story in a more direct way that say, Gaiden after OGS,
- A Gaiden-like entry stretched to a full-fledged entry's length?

And is it any good really? I loved OGS and OG2nd

If you are referring to me use my name, don't use tactics of specific annoying posters and misinterprent my words.

you dont realize that if I am so "vaguely" iy's just because I dont and I cant remember who said what for every single post here?
Anyway, considering it's not my tactic to annoying you, from now I will carefully write down what you say so next time you won't be annoyed anymore

And the point is that this Taiko on 3DS started below expectations, especially if we consider M-C numbers which I'm starting to really consider the real good tracker

Square Enix is bringing Kai-ri-Sei Million Arthur to Vita and PS4.

It's basically the same as the smartphone version with some minor visual improvements: http://gematsu.com/2016/07/kai-ri-sei-million-arthur-coming-ps4-ps-vita

I feel that Square Enix is continuing to see the various platforms they support less as discrete entities and more a progressive list of rollout targets.

Weren't you one of the biggest Famitsu defenders when I compared trackers?

Better late than never.

Is Dragon Quest Viii the last time Square Enix announced/released a non-PS4 console game?

The Mana remake hasn't released on PS4 yet but they did (unofficially) announce it.

Wait the Romancing SaGa port isn't planned for PS4 is it?

In theory, neither Romacing SaGa nor SaGa Scarlet Grace are heading to PS4.

In practice, I'd be rather surprised if they didn't show up at some point, especially Scarlet Grace.

Yeah, a Vita exclusive in 2015 was already shaky. A late 2016 or even 2017 release is even shakier.

i think the NX will be in mobile form in Japan. One form factor is the handheld and maybe, the other is a device that ataches to Smartphones with an standard set of Nintendo controls and a cartridge slot.

It just makes too much sense for Nintendo not to try to piggyback on Smartphones in some way. Is the most sensible way to ensure that people would carry one of their handheld devices withouth them downright making a Nintendo Smartphone or partnering with a phone maker.

There's a handheld/mobile whatever coming and it isn't the NX (even if it'll likely connect in some good way to the NX).

Nice! I can see it having a small success.

You can at least give them credit for being committed.

As I commented last week, Tower Records is having a collaboration with the Splatoon brand. So, in Shibuya, today was the release of the new Splatoon bundle and it seemed like a re-release of the game. You could find lots of stuff related to Splatoon, and adverts were amazingly displayed everywhere in (and out) the store.

The new Splatoon amiibo (diorama included), of course, were very popular.
