Kind of feel sorry for them, they haven't had much success outside of Danganronpa recently.

Me too actually. Fair enough they have Terraria, which I had forgotten about, but all their original franchises seem to have depleted a lot lately.

VLR underperformed; Conception -> 2 showed no growth despite going multi-plat; Kenka Bancho showed big decline (looks like the IP reaching the end of its life, unless it's going to continue on being more niche than it was); Way of the Samurai -> Ukiyo completely cratered.

I do wonder why they didn't use the Samurai name for Ukiyo, but I guess they couldn't get Acquire back to develop (since they're now under Gung Ho) and decided to reboot.

Virtue's Last Reward... Well, it did sell well in the West, but in Japan...

Is that enough for them though? I mean, I don't fully understand how it works, but it doesn't seem like they'd be getting a massive return from that. Do they get paid per copy shipped abroad or do Aksys bid a one-off fee for the licence and then reap any profits from those regions?

Attack on Titan sold 300k + 70k with the expansion.

Forgot about that one. They were devs + pubs of that, right?

Shiren used to be big for them but it's really gone down the drain. Too many low budget sequels and ports in too short a time I guess.

Their biggest moneymakers now are probably contracted development (Mystery Dungeon, Fossil Fighters, etc).

Yeah, Shiren really fell off.

They also developed J-Stars for Bamco, I think. But isn't contractual work just a set budget + fee for development and any profit from good sales going to the publisher?

I mean, they could certainly live off that development, but considering where they were a few years ago with multiple healthy franchises of their own, it seems like a step back.

 

[Takao]

Retail had it at 150k all together iirc......damn maybe MC staying digital is not bad idea.

No, putting Minecraft out at retail is a good idea.

 

[sörine]

I didn't know they developed Fossil Fighters. They had nothing to do with the DS one(s) right?

Right, the DS ones were M2.

Where's the new thread? MC delayed this week?

Nationnal day in Japan

Ah.

 

[small44]

Where's the new thread? MC delayed this week?

Nationnal day in Japan

 

[Dash Kappei]

Nationnal day in Japan

So no numbers this week or just delayed?

 

[small44]

So no numbers this week or just delayed?

Delayed

4Gamer.net has a notice on the page for last week's charts:



So no numbers for them today, gonna have to wait until tomorow. Same for Famitsu:

 

[Moor-Angol]

As much as mpl like comg this is so far off base. Also what is going on with people feeling like they have to talk the others preferences in systems when it has no relevance

my gosh, seems like jokes can't be made anymore here, i put it into spoiler and ending with a smile facing...
what else should have I done ? adding "warning this is a hyronic sentence" ???

people are taking too seriously this argument, we are talking about games eh....

Hyrulic sentence? You don't know yet, but you are the one obsessed with Nintendo, as this freudian slip proves.

 

[Mory Dunz]

MC and NPD in the same day?

That's the real holiday here.

Update is up? Nice.

Strong opening for Xenoverse. Surprised MC have larger numbers than Famitsu.

 

[theprodigy]

cool, anyone gonna copy and translate it?

Spoiler

too lazy lol

 

[vicissitudes]

PS3 version still outsells PS4 version for JP games :/

At least Xbox One went up by 7%, that's good.

 

[casiopao]

3DS still doing good I see. New 3DS doing its job.

Next is Majora so 3DS number should increase too.

 

[vinnygambini]

Poor Kirby.

The poor thing doesn't deserve this.

 

[small44]

PSV below 10k next week?

 

[hongcha]

18K for PS4. Not bad.

Poor Kirby.

The poor thing doesn't deserve this.

They should release it together with Kinopio Taicho on holiday. It would make it had better legs.... Or better roll lol.

 

[shadow2810]

Wii U - road to 5k

 

[Kid Ying]

i think kirby is doing fine for what it is. its going to perform in a similar fashion as donkey kong and thats it. never expected it to be any different.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Wii U - road to 5k

It's an annual event

 

[hongcha]

Wii U - road to 5k

Xbox One - road to 5.

 

[Welfare]

Xbox One - road to 5.

The obvious joke was Xbox One - road to one.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Wii U is going to be hurting for the next few months even more.

 

[Nirolak]

Is there actually a 15K difference in 3DS reporting?

 

[theprodigy]

Is there actually a 15K difference in 3DS reporting?

must be a typo, the real Famitsu 3DS total is 30673 not 20673

 

[random25]

Famitsu 3DS numbers should be 3DS = 30.673

 

[Nirolak]

Okay that makes a lot more sense. Thanks.

A few kinks with new stuff. But, SURPRISE!

 

[Hero of Legend]

Just see the new thread. XD

 

[Welfare]

So Xenoverse launched better than Ultimate Tenkaichi and Raging Blast 2. Pretty good.

 

[Nightengale]

When was the white Halo bundle with a preorder discount thing happening again?
