Eek.

But looks like demand is still high, at least according to Amazon and Yodobashi (both out of stock).

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Batman surely influenced PS4 sales...but that much? Really? Did Prime day affect sales as well (I remember PS4 having a deal during Prime Day).

And with that the 3DS cracked that 1M YTD!

Expected it to happen during the first Week of the Month, but thats not too bad either!

I bought the Yoshi game, and I am loving it.

I also bought an amiibo thinking they'd sell out like the rest. There's still tons in stores and I bet they'll go down in price. >_<

Splatoon still amazing.

I suppose at least it prob means less sequels and more new IPs from Nintendo.

lol Splatoon's like 8th week is almost the same as Yoshi's debut

what an expected flop. Yoshi can't catch a break with any of his games past SNES.

Western games really have had pretty huge growth in Japan during last couple of years:

22./00. [PS3] Batman: Arkham Begins # <ADV> (Warner Entertainment Japan) {2013.12.05} (¥7.980) - 11.537 / NEW <60-80%>

Also warms my heart. So goood game:

17./15. [PS4] The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt <RPG> (Spike Chunsoft) {2015.05.21} (¥8.856) - 2.919 / 131.333 (+3%)

Also next week PS4 is going to overtake its last years numbers (WiiU will too actually)
 
lol Splatoon's like 8th week is almost the same as Yoshi's debut

what an expected flop. Yoshi can't catch a break with any of his games past SNES.

At least Wooly World is a great game, unlike every other entry in the series outside of Yoshi's Island.

I hope Splatoon's success and Yoshi's mediocre debut shows Nintendo that new IPs should be a priority for them on NX.

lol Splatoon's like 8th week is almost the same as Yoshi's debut

what an expected flop. Yoshi can't catch a break with any of his games past SNES.

It certainly doesn't help that Feel Good Game's platforming style isn't what platform gamers usually want in a game (i.e. favoring slow exploration over quick speed-run style gameplay).

Great PS4 numbers, and that's only from Batman?
I thought that the Western games loving Japanese audience is pretty much saturated on PS4 but I guess not.


And scoop (DQ related) from Famitsu this week?

Well game like Yoshi will have legs anyway so not too worring (those shipment have already made profits anyway).
As for Batman, well PS4 owners want to play something right? :D

Is this limited time promotion or something that will going for a while?

The bundle did run out at some stores but since it's just a code Sony may just re-run the promo.
 
Splatoon single-handedly rose the Wii U's baseline by about 40%. This game has definitely established itself as one of Nintendo's biggest IP's now, just a tier below Mario/Pokemon/Animal Crossing.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Bloodborne is included for free now when you buy a PS4

...Rrrrriiiiiiiiight. I forgot Sony started including Bloodborne in bundle with the console. Now I remember you posted photos from stores showing the deal as well. No ending date for the offer?

Sounds like they should have made a 3D game then. Lord knows Wii U already has enough 2D platformers, and that style of game is much better suited to 3D platformers than 2D imo.

Yoshi deserved better.

I guess the silver lining here is still those damn squids. The success cannot be overestimated enough.

Expected Godzilla to do much better.

To be honest, it's not like the original release on PS3 did that much (IIRC, around 20k at debut), so this time it's the product itself, not PS4.

It's one of my favorite games in years, and I'd honestly say my favorite game on the Wii U, so I'm glad they made it how it is.

It is so relaxing.

FYI, Arkham opened like 8K (asylum), 12K (city) & 11K (begins) on previous entries (all are PS3 numbers).

There's a reason why they call it THE BATTEST!

Which makes even less comprehensible why Warner Bros. expects 150,000 units sold in Japan, which is not happening, despite the very good debut for the game when compared to its predecessors
