I'm talking about hardware sales

I think they are ok since we have another 36000 ps4s at least specifically bought for this game already. I think the market was gradually preparing for its arrival and so the ps4 jump is not so high.

 

[ZhugeEX]

DQH did amazing!

 

[Kresnik258]

Seems like a good DQH split between the two consoles to me.

 

[BishopLamont]

I'm talking about hardware sales

It is good sales considering they already released the hardware bundle it already.

 

[L~A]

Oops forgot to mention the DQH PS4 number includes bundles.

 

[Mpl90]

Oops forgot to mention the DQH PS4 number includes bundles.

Wait. So, this means that last year's bundles are included in PS4 total for DQH?

 

[Spiegel]

Oops forgot to mention the DQH PS4 number includes bundles.

Includes bundles sold this week or all the bundles sold until now?

Because only the former would make sense in a sales report for this week.

 

[Pennywise83]

Great debut for this DQ game.

 

[crinale]

Wait. So, this means that last year's bundles are included in PS4 total for DQH?

Yes.

 

[L~A]

Wait. So, this means that last year's bundles are included in PS4 total for DQH?

That's what Media Create says:

ドラゴンクエストヒーローズ 闇竜と世界樹の城（同梱版含む）

 

[BishopLamont]

Includes bundles sold this week or all the bundles sold until now?

Because only the former would make sense in a sales report for this week.

i don't know why they would only count this weeks bundles sales only

and if its counting all bundle sales it is too low

no idea really

 

[Spiegel]

That's what Media Create says:

That's for every game with a hardware bundle. See Animal Crossing 3DS or Mario Kart 8.

i don't know why they would only count this weeks bundles sales only

and if its counting all bundle sales it is too low

no idea really

Because in the week ending March 1st those were the bundles sold and not the ones sold in December.

Really? Ok, Media Create are known to count software from bundles, it is just a bit more complicated in this case due to a different launch-dates. It seems that the argument for this is to simplify the tracking, despite at the same time beeing less informative and precise in my opinion.

It would have been more informative if they listed both, the actual retail sales this week and the lifetime sales including bundles.

 

[Kyoufu]

That's a solid first week tbh. Going to be interesting to see if it has any legs to reach One Piece Musou's LTD.

 

[allan-bh]

I think is right to include the bundle, is like pre-orders sales included in first day.

 

[ZhugeEX]

If DQH follows sales trajectory of One Piece then 850k+ is confirmed.

 

[L~A]

Hmm.... looks like Chris got some connection problem again? Hope this get fixed soon, must be really annoying for him : /

In the mean time.... hiska-kun, I summon you!

 

[nightever]

I would say Vita holds OK this week. Usually when PS4 bumps, Vita will drop a lot.

 

[allan-bh]

Really? that´s interesting, that´s something I didn´t expect and also disagree with for the reasons I mentioned yesterday. But it seems that the argument to simplify the tracking, despite at the same time beeing less informative and precise in my opinion.

Pretty sure they will inform bundle sales

 

[hiska-kun]

I don't have computer tonight -.-

I think they did something similar to Wii Fit U but I may be wrong..

 

[Oemenia]

Well done DQH. On the other hand how are the legs going to be?

 

[allan-bh]

I think they did something similar to Wii Fit U but I may be wrong..

What they did to Wii Fit U?

 

[Paxem]

Media Create:

PS4 46,139
Vita 23,619
New3DS LL 22,620
PS3 8,926
New3DS 8,515
Wii U 6,606
3DS 2,795
3DS LL 2,666
Vita TV 838
Xbox One 703



DQH PS3: 325 k
DQH PS4: 269k (includes bundle)

So good PS4/PS3 split, but PS4 sales actually lower than expectations?

almost 600k for DQH and it's not even a main game in the series?!! isn't this too high or am I mistaken? if this is true then this incredible in a country where consoles are almost dead

 

[cw_sasuke]

So how often did the WiiU sold more than 40k a week outside of the launch and holiday seasons ?

 

[Eolz]

Really good for DQH, but those hardware sales are probably disappointing for Sony

Spoiler

and some people here

 

[The Last One]

So the split is something like 1.2:1 ? If so, that's pretty good.

 

[L~A]

almost 600k for a DQH and it's not even a main game in the series?!! isn't this too high or am I mistaken? if this is true then this incredible in a country where consoles is almost dead

This is Dragon Quest after all, and Musou is very popular too.

I don't have computer tonight -.-

Ah, shoot

Really? Dissapointing for Sony? How so?

 

[Mpl90]

Famitsu did that for sure, don't know about MC (it debuted out of top 20, thus no numbers).

 

[allan-bh]

There was a bundle in december so we can't judge this week alone.

 

[noobie]

does this means that game sold through first shipment and then some?
Should we expect some legs to reach a Million?

 

[KillerMan91]

So how often did the WiiU sold more than 40k a week outside of the launch and holiday seasons ?

None? At least I don't remember. Even during MK launch week it did barely 20k.

 

[crinale]

What they did to Wii Fit U?

Famitsu reported Wii Fit U's sales for the first time when physical version was released. At that time they reported ltd that included "Family Pack" numbers released beforehand.

 

[SgtCobra]

Based Dragon Quest doing it's work.

does this means that game sold through first shipment and then some?
Should we expect some legs to reach a Million?

I thought it's initial shipment was around 500k?
But to answer your second queston, ai think it will settle around 800k at most I guess.

 

[raven777]

not sure about million but I think it will certainly go 800k+

 

[hiska-kun]

Not official, but going with the 530.000 units report. That means bundles were 64k.

I guess on friday Media Create will confirm it.

 

[GhostTrick]

almost 600k for a DQH and it's not even a main game in the series?!! isn't this too high or am I mistaken? if this is true then this incredible in a country where consoles are almost dead

A Dragon Quest Musou title ? How is that surprising ?

 

[Eolz]

Really? Dissapointing for Sony? How so?

There was a bundle in december so we can't judge this week alone.

Oh I know, but around 50k for the first big japanese game they're truly getting is disappointing. I've seen people predict higher than that, and it obviously won't stay at this level, nor the drop will be relatively slow.
It's still "good" however, don't get me wrong.

 

[Busaiku]

Great debut for Dragon Quest Heroes overall.
Yeah, the PS4 split is really favorable.

 

[Mpl90]

Not official, but going with the 530.000 units report. That means bundles were 64k.

I guess on friday Media Create will confirm it.

Well, the leaks have always been very, very accurate, so...

In that case, going by MC numbers, it's more like

PS3 - 325,000
PS4 - 205,000
PS4 (bundle from December) - 64,000

 

[Aostia]

great debut for DQH, now let's aim at the million mark.
great response for PS4 hw numbers too.
3DS and Vita hold well.

 

[crinale]

Yeah SE slowly kept feeding that silver PS4 to the market so that sounds about right.

[Ratrat]

Nice DQH numbers. March is going to be great for ps4.

 

[eFKac]

Very good opening for DQH and a fantastic split for the PS4.
Was expecting 5-10k more on the hardware front but still not bad, and the baseline should be strong throughout April at least.

 

[noobie]

are you saying every single copy of the DQ got sold over the weekend?

What if the bundles were only 50k and there was a second shipment?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

rise this is the beginning etc

 

[Shengar]

I just look at that DQH number for both platform

 

[allan-bh]

530k is sales total until sunday.
