Girl's Mode 3 is the new Minecraft! The King is dead, long live the King!

after that yellow electric mouse another King is dead...

videogame industry is terrible :'(

 

[theprodigy]

It's really not a new platform, unless you consider the DSi a different system from the DS for some reason.

remember how so many people were incredibly salty about it during the February NPD thread? that was hilarious

 

[jrDev]

No? Look at the creation date of this thread.

You are right, that's odd. Dunno why I had a memory of seeing numbers on Tuesday. I should've lined it up with Thursday which is when we get full numbers and also NPD.

Was that the thread where the WiiU beat the PS4?!

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or meant to say 3ds.

 

[Vena]

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or meant to say 3ds.

I am joking. Tongue in cheek on the fiasco of the Feb NPD report thread.

U don't need to be afraid Hino. After this the dead of a certain Red Cat ghost is also coming.^_^

 

[hiska-kun]

who will win?

Splatoon or Bloodborne (FW)

 

[random25]

who will win?

Splatoon or Bloodborne (FW)

Does digital count? Here is Bloodborne's FW retail for reference:

01./00. [PS4] Bloodborne # <RPG> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2015.03.26} (¥7.452) - 152.567 / NEW

I'd say Splatoon just a little above it. I'm a bit optimistic about Splatoon's FW

 

[plebegamer]

When do the new numbers come out?

Kinda curious how the numbers turned out with the stock shortages. Didn't Splatoon essentially sell out of its first shipment on day 2?

 

[horuhe]

Hino, only you can save the videogame industry. Give us another japanese red cat in NX, please.

who will win?

Splatoon or Bloodborne (FW)

Of course Splatoon. I can perfectly smell that +160k FW. No jokes.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I don't think Splatoon can outsell BB FW, but we shall see

 

[ZSaberLink]

serebii.net is saying Pokkén Tournament is confirmed to release in July for arcades in Japan?

http://www.serebii.net/news/2015/03-June-2015.shtml

 

[Xbro]

If Splatoon doesn't beat BB FW it's because of stock issues.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

If Splatoon doesn't beat BB FW it's because of stock issues.

Ironically BB also had stock issues. It was sold out in FW

 

[Zalman]

Yup. Hoping for a Wii U port some time next year. I think it would sell big.

 

[crinale]

Yeah so we'll see similar numbers I suppose.

Spoiler

Actually that is already hinted btw

see you in December

Tsutaya sucks at predicting, I mean Splatoon nowhere to be seen (they expect stock problems for the whole month? lol)
Dragon Ball > Rhythm Paradise The Best+
Don't make me laugh

 

[hiska-kun]

Leaks are out

Trying to figure out

 

[L~A]

Btw, has my poison finally worked and killed Chris? I'd like to update the opening with all the numbers...

If he doesn't, i'll do it tomorrow after the new numbers come out.

Looks like your poison was so effective, it even killed the person in charge of updating Media Create's English website

Leaks are out

Trying to figure out

Please work your magic

 

[hiska-kun]

This week is really difficult.

145
I think we're talking about One

17000
Maybe Wii U

40000
This is almost confirmed is Miku

40000/X
4000 sales? Maybe is Psycho Pass

I missed Splatoon?

-.-

Any idea crinale? XD

 

[Xbro]

What all launched this week?

Those sound about right. 17k for Wii U would actually be pretty good (aka. better than I expected).

No idea about the last one... what does the X mean?

 

[NotLiquid]

Splatoon and Miku

 

[hiska-kun]

I don't know what the X means (ten?, xbox sales? xenoblade?...)
And I don't know what game/hardware is refering to

 

[Kresnik258]

Splatoon and Miku

+ Cross Ange and 2 VN's for Vita.

I don't see Cross Ange meeting any of those clues other than possibly the 17k one, which Hiska has already said is for WiiU.

 

[L~A]

I don't know what the X means (ten?, xbox sales? xenoblade?...)
And I don't know what game/hardware is refering to

Hmm...

Maybe 40000/X actually is 40 000 / 10, so 4000.

Downtown Nekketsu Jidaigeki, maybe? How much did the other Kunio-kun game sell in the past few years? Or maybe it's that Cross Ange game, as mentionned by Kresnik258.

 

[hiska-kun]

Splatoon was almost as popular as Super Smash Bros for Wii U. High demand and sold out across the country.

Wii U hardware sales were almost 3 times higher than last week.

[Smiles and Cries]

wish Splatoon had the same shipment as SmashU

 

[hiska-kun]

I think is Psycho Pass (there's the Katakata &#12497;&#12540;&#12473; on the link). But 4000 seems too high

I've read the spoiler, but just to provide some data: Smash debuted on MC with 227k, while last week the Wii U sold 7,6k units for MC.
Would that means that we will see a 200k debut for Splatoon and the Wii U around 20k? I'd say...no. They both will be lower than that, maybe slighlty, but lower in any case.

I'd go with 180k Splatoon, 14k Wii U.

In Tsutaya's stores. Tsutaya != Japan, you can't extrapolate that (but it could be a good indicator).

 

[AniHawk]

250k for splatoon and 40k for wii u. anything less is an utter failure.

 

[frankie_baby]

I'd go with 180k Splatoon, 14k Wii U.

So you've bumped it up a bit since your last prediction, I think could be 200k but obviously depends how much it shipped

 

[mclem]

I don't know what the X means (ten?, xbox sales? xenoblade?...)

Well, squid have ten limbs, but I can't really see a logical link between Splatoon and 4k based on other things we've heard.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I don't expect Splatoon to break 148K unless it got a secret shipment last week

148k is my number

17k WIU seems right

 

[frankie_baby]

150k shipment first day and it seems there was another one on Friday

17K would also be an almost exactly 75% drop for the Witcher 3. Probably less likely than the WiiU, but it was predicted to third and that seems like a plausible number.

 

[frankie_baby]

Witcher should have a bigger drop than that shouldnt it?

 

[Busaiku]

after that yellow electric mouse another King is dead...

09./09. [3DS] Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire <RPG> (Pokemon Co.) {2014.11.21} (¥4.937) - 4.081 / 2.626.570
16./13. [3DS] Yo-kai Watch 2: Shin Uchi <RPG> (Level 5) {2014.12.13} (¥4.968) - 2.280 / 2.608.486

Hmm...

 

[flaviusconstantius]

Witcher should have a bigger drop than that shouldnt it?

If it were a JRPG probably around 81%or so, but Western games in Japan seem to have generally had somewhat longer legs(see GTA5) it reviewed well, there were shortages, and the high digital attach rate, supposedly 20-30%, speaks of unfulfilled demand. Plus that 92% attach rate.

I think that is probably on the higher end of its likely sales but definitely plausible. Also it is not as if Splatoon is directly competing with it. What else is out right now on the PS4?

 

[CaviarMeths]

Obviously, 40,000 is Wii U and 40,000/X is Splatoon, where X = 0.05.

 

[Aostia]

In Tsutaya's stores. Tsutaya != Japan, you can't extrapolate that (but it could be a good indicator).

that's why I've written: "I've read the spoiler, but just to give share some data". I'm not projecting Tsutaya into the entire market, in fact I've stated that I'm not expecting so high numbers, but lower.

So you've bumped it up a bit since your last prediction, I think could be 200k but obviously depends how much it shipped

Well, I have to admit that the early reports are pretty positive, so I think that my prediction could be more in line than my previous one.

 

[samar11]

Obviously, 40,000 is Wii U and 40,000/X is Splatoon, where X = 0.05.

lol no

 

[Aostia]

maybe the leaked 145 is 145k for Splatoon, that would mean a 90%+ ST of the first shipment, leaked by the same source.
Maybe we are messing around with shipments/tracking.
