Weekly Japanese Famitsu Sales

switch is going to crack 10m when animal crossing drops

It's not as good as Awakening so I'm not surprised.

There’s something special to Awakening despite all of its problems, I really don’t feel many negative opinions despite how many flaws to it

No digital sales retarded-kun

Awakeningtards and Fatesfags should unironically kys irl.

3H gets a 38% discount with the vouchers. Voucher program is actually good in Japan because they don't have standardized game prices.

It’s funny I’m basically played every title on hard mode at this point since I’ve played Awakening but I still can’t bring myself to hate it
Also Roy’s game sucks

Ya gaming is dead in Japan

Bros how do we stop this Nintendomination in Japan?

The Awakening and Fates numbers don't include digital either, stupid

Digital sales in 3ds is pure shit

The vouchers let you get games much cheaper in Japan than what you can get elsewhere. Some games cost $70-$80 US over there.

That would mean only 1.3 million from now until March, with Christmas and the Switch Lite coming up.

>PS4] Monster Hunter: World (Capcom,m) – 5,516 (22,027)
It's over bros...

>there is almost as much of a psv games as ps4

There are only 3 PS4 games in that list. Everything else is for Switch.

>Switch – 92,677
Nice
>Super Mario Maker 2 (Nintendo, 06/28/19) – 46,424 (536,839)
I haven't bought it yet. Wanna buy LM3 and such first

>3DS, 2DS, and the fucking VITA
>each one selling more individually than the Xboxes combined

Jesus Christ Microsoft

I'm interested to see how well the PS5 will end up doing in Japan. The way things are going it's probably going to be DoA.

>fire emblem flopped in japan
lmao

Is this shit should posted in business or something? What the fuck is this stock market shit? Also stop using that war criminal flag pls. Thanks

>Video game sales aren't relevant to the video game board

>Switch selling more than than PS4 and PS4 Pro combined

Summer vacation for schoolkids

RIP snoy

Lots of third-party games doing well on Switch.

Not enough women buying Switch.

>number 1 in the JP eshop for 3 weeks now
lmao

Like most other weeks?

>Nintendo Switch selling more than a 6 years oldl console
Good, I guess. Also, isn't Japan Nintendo territory? Like the Wii U used to sell more than the PS4.
The fucking Wii U

It didnt use to be like that
It was Sony territory during the PS1 and PS2 eras, you know, the time when sony had good games in their consoles
The PS3 clusterfuck will be remembered and how they never recovered from it
Yeah PS4 sold a lot to mexicans that only use it for fifa, was that worth it? I dont think so

This is bait because three houses is the best game in the Fire Emblem series and possibly one of the best tactical RPGs of all time because of the characters in storyline alone.

No I meant in total.
I guess Sony sells most of their units in Europe and the US. Here in Europe every end-20s manchild has a PS4.

Yeah, it surpassed the PS4/Pro ltd sales a few months ago

It's funny to see 26 games in the top 30, including the entire top 10, being Switch games. I can't remember such levels of Nintendomination in over a decade, and even then it was split between Wii and DS, so seeing it all on one system makes it look even more dominating.

>Nintendo Switch selling more than a 6 years oldl console
It's also outsold their combined lifetime sales in less than half the time.

Sony just fucking gave up in Japan
They said yeah nintendo you can have it, we hate Japan now, also fuck anime by the way
They wanted this to happen it looks like.
They are fine they only need Rockstar games, fifa and europeans

I'd say the portability of the console is geared towards japs and their long commutes.

what boosted the Switch sales recently? the new model? a new bundle?

Big games finally coming out regularly, things have suddenly piled up considerably
There is something for everyone now, its impossible to say it has no games anymore

and other poor nations, don't forget it, they also like fifa

Better economy and more games

>europeans
all vgchartz data from europe were fake and used to dump numbers to match a prediction vgchartz made up.
ps4 real sales are still in the gray area because they switched from releasing sales numbers to shipped numbers.

Surprised to see Super Bomberman R and Puyo Puyo Tetris on the list. Well, the price dropped versions anyway. Also surprised to see Kirby still selling decently.

switch has like 1 major exclusive per month

Why are nincels acting like only Japan matters?
You guys outsold by PS4 again this year WW.

>why don't people care about the FIFA and CoD machine selling so well in FIFAland
unsolvable mystery

>Casual games sell the most
Yes so do BING BING, Zelda, and Smash

I agree thats why gtav sells so much

wow - xenoblade2 was trash, splatoon2 is a piece of garbage. nintendo is doomed.

So what do Japanese PS4 owners play? Especially the new ones who clearly aren't buying any games with it.

I guess watch movies too

People still buy 3dses?

The physical version comes with the offline game modes DLC and a years subscription to Nintendo online.

The benefit of releasing a system at the END of PlayStation life cycle.

Nitnendo should repeat this from now on. Let the PS5 release. Wait for 3/4 years then drop the Switch 2 and repeat this.

>Japanese sales thread
>"B-but world wide sales!"
Every single thread

Retards will never understand only Japan gives weekly sales numbers. We dont know how many ps4s they're selling in Poland, sorry.

oof

It's Japan. They love handhelds.
Just wait until the Lite comes out, then it's really over.

Reminder with this. If you check the Japanese eshop, Fire Emblem is currently beating Mario Maker and Smash Ultimate and is at #2. Only game beating it is something that is 96% off.

>Switch – 92,677 (8,722,305)
Jesus, why is that high this week?

I wanna pick up the Tsuri spirits game, looks fun

>Lite comes out, capitalizing on even more handheld desire
>Animal Crossing comes out
AC:NH will hit 3 million in a week, screen cap me

New Switch units (the longer battery life ones) are available

For the love of God Japan stop buying botw its fucking awful.

NINTENDO WON

It's been years and people are still seething about BOTW. BOTW 2 will be out and people will still be seething.

>I'm interested to see how well the PS5 will end up doing in Japan. The way things are going it's probably going to be DoA.

I wonder if Sony is going to release the PS5 the same way as the PS4 as in release it a few months after the Western's release

>Yea Forums's still mad about this game

No its that high because Famitsu combined two weeks of hardware since they didn't report last week.

New switches aren't there yet in Japan.

Probably. No point in shipping consoles to Japan when the west is still in the launch rush.

The ps5 won't bomb out because Sony will buy a big name Japanese game to get a few million sales like persona or whatever but long term they'll sell way less than the ps4, like 4-5 million.

>>Lite comes out, capitalizing on even more handheld desire
>>Animal Crossing comes out
>AC:NH will hit 3 million in a week, screen cap me

I'll raise you 3 days

Oh, I didn't realize that
And really? I thought the new Switches were already out in the US

Makes sense but that makes me think about how much it will sell when Pokemon and Lite are out.

Ballsy but I could see it
Pokemon and AC are going to make the Switch hit 3DS numbers ez
What the fuck happened to that middleware Nintendo was working on?

Persona is a 500k seller, it's not going to push millions of consoles.

I hated botw but I do have a slight bit of hope for 2 that they might learn from the criticism of the first game and the improvements on the formula made by genshin impact to create something that doesn't suck.

t. Ching-Chong

>he improvements on the formula made by genshin impact
what improvements?

It's made by the noble Chinese and not by the yellow peril Japanese

are those the lifetime nipland xbone sales? That is fucking dire.

Im actually surprised Xbone hit 5 figures in Japan at all

America got them on time. Europe got them earlier than September. Japan is getting them at the end of August as stated.

Better combat
Actual dungeons although admitidly there does not seem to be much in the way of puzzles
Also probably more enemy variety.
No durability bullshit.

It's absolutely not just Japan, Breath of the Wild has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and propelled the Zelda series to a level of success and popularity it had never seen before. Soon it will have sold twice as much as the next best-selling Zelda, Twilight Princess. You lost this war, you really should have come to terms with it by now.

>Better combat
But I don't want the combat to be the focus of a Zelda game, it should be maybe half or a third of the gameplay focus
>Actual dungeons although admitidly there does not seem to be much in the way of puzzles
Genshin Impact is literally just an action game in an open-world.
>Also probably more enemy variety.
I can get behind this actually, more themed enemies that force you to traverse the area differently.
>No durability bullshit
This should be kept, it creates a resource management over long-hauls in the open-world that's interesting, and it forces the player to not get too comfortable with any set of tools for taking on combat encounters.
That being said, there should definitely be more limited space in inventory to disincentivize hoarding

>ps vita outselling xbone
lol

>top ten are all switch games
>highest selling PS4 title is a fucking baseball game
hahaha holy shit

>3 days
not a fucking chance
i love animal crossing and i'm sure many others do too but that's just not realistic
a week sounds about right

>[PS4] Monster Hunter: World (Best Price!) (Reissue) (Capcom, 07/18/19) – 5,516 (22,027)
Capcom getting that installbase ready for Iceborne

Is it though?
Are we including 3 million in total sales or just physical? Cause I agree, 3 million in 3 days of just physical sales is unrealistic but I could see 3 million in 3 days of digital + physical

i'm talking about total sales
but to be honest, i don't know how quickly games like this actually sell

there's a ridiculous chart floating around that shows the race to 3 mil on the the 3ds. It shows animal crossing busting out the gate and winning the race in a matter of weeks

Attached: animal crossing sales.gif (568x341, 761K)

holy shit
maybe it is possible

Attached: 1548196119107.png (200x200, 62K)

Will Dragon Quest XI S sell over a million in Japan?

It also helps that the installbase is bigger
2012 3DS install base was about 16 million
Switch Installbase, post Lite, post Pokemon, post Holidays 2019.
AC:NL is going to be releasing in the most ideal conditions outside of being released on December 24th

Considering that DQ is a massive phenomenon in Japan and that the version with the most content is on a portable system, it's almost guaranteed to sell at least a million

cope you autistic faggot

Attached: 1493149861295.jpg (700x913, 110K)

so, will it be the first game to hit 4 million physical sales in Japan since Pokemon BW?

Possibly. It's also possible that nothing will reach those numbers again because of how much bigger digital is these days.

>Not even 2.5 years can rid you of all that salt
Delightful

I honestly think New Horizons will outsell Pokémon.

i love my switch!

It's very possible, NH seems to be getting better press than Pokemon

>Top 10 games = all Switch bar non
>Top 20 games = 17 Switch games with 3 PS4 games near the bottom
>Top 30 = 26 Switch games with PS4 still only having 3 titles and the Vita getting 1

OH NO
NONONONONONO
NONOONONONONONONONN ONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SONY BROS THIS CAN'T BE FUCKING HAPPENING IM LITERALLY SHAKING RIGHT NOW

we did it bros

>Every famitsu thread ever
>Sony fans are nowhere to be seen
Realistically, what did they mean by this /vp/? Is it true that Famitsu threads cause longterm PTSD to sony fans?

bump

>Nintendo won again
Easy every time.

No matter how many times I watch this, it always surprises me

>[PS4] Monster Hunter: World (Best Price!) (Reissue) (Capcom, 07/18/19) – 5,516 (22,027)

I wonder if Capcom are either in the process in making a Monster Hunter game exclusive for the Switch or wipe their hands and not bother with Japan

>sony doesn't sell in japan anymore
what a weird fucking world this is

The Switch exclusive MH has been rumored for a long time now, and thos sales for reissue. MHW's total sales in Japan are over 2 million

There are like two current gen games that have outsold MHW in japan

splatoon2 is shit for babies

>[PS4] Monster Hunter: World (Best Price!) (Reissue) (Capcom, 07/18/19) – 5,516 (22,027)
It's over, World has flopped AGAIN.

>MHW's total sales in Japan are over 2 million
That's still a flop when you account how overbudgeted its development is.

>That's still a flop when you account how overbudgeted its development is.
But it got compensated because it was a massive success in the West

prove it

I'm curious to see how badly PS5 will do in Japan

Attached: 1210235591099.jpg (168x194, 31K)

The funniest part is that NSMB2 comes roaring out of the gate and it looks like it's going to overtake the other games for a second, then ACNL wrecks all of them.

Those compensations have never counted throughout the franchise history. Just sit back and watch as MHSwitch gets announced on Direct will you?

Not sure about that. Even with DQ being as big as it is, Japan already had 2 versions of the game. I'm thinking it will sell around 500k.

Are you retarded user?

Dont forget the original JP releases didnt have voice acting or hard monsters option among many other things that the western version got

>Yeah PS4 sold a lot to mexicans that only use it for fifa, was that worth it? I dont think so
Sony seems to think so when they're actively antagonizing their Japanese fanbase. They just don't want the Japanese audience anymore and would much rather pander hard to the west.

You're replying to a serial shitposter, just don't bother

If it’s $500 like rumored, it will be an amazing dumpster fire. Of course it has to actually release there on time and not be another PS4

>shipped is now sold
the wiiU now reached 20 million overnight thanks to your change in logic. Battleborn also reached at least 5 million copies.

What could it possibly launch with to make it sell?
FF7 episode 2? I dont think it will be ready
What else do they have left seriously, so many franchises dead from the ps2 days

if it's going to be 16 gigs of ram with a million teraflops or some shit like it's rumored to be then there's no fucking way it's going to be below $500

i don't even see it selling at that price. since we have cocky sony back i can totally see them doing the PS3 thing again and sell it for $600 or more

Remember that portability is a very big bonus in Japan

They did say it's going to be a niche system for graphics whores after all.

Havent they already been prepping the paypigs I mean early adopters by saying PS5 will be a hardcore only console?
Its not going to be pretty

I wonder if Sony losing interest in Japan themselves will have much of an effect on Japanese devs making games for Playstation.

>"It might be too cheap."

SEETHING

History repeats itself, I see

It's 2 million, but I get your point. It's crazy as fuck

Attached: 2 million.gif (568x341, 183K)

They already have a portable version.

Holy shit is Switch killing it

Over?
It never started.

This
I’d be most interested in United States total monthly sales
But that’s a fuck Ton of work

Why are people still buying PS4s? No new games and PS5 around the corner

The extra content is also a good incentive. Remember that in Japan, RPGs are a very potent drug

Maybe with voucher pre orders otherwise I just don’t see it

P5R

Because Animal Crossings was a straight up straight line smashing 2 million

>ANOTHER sales thread where people jerk off our corporate overlords and white knight them for no monetary compensation

At this point I can't even feel disgust. I'm mostly disappointed.

>500$
>Home only
>Meanwhile the lite is less than 1/2 the price
DOA
