Holy shit at the XIV drop
15./03. [PS4] Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Real Reborn # <RPG> (Square Enix) {2014.04.14} (¥3.394) - 4.858 / 36.185 (-84%)
That's pretty bad. Guess XIV is going to be as front loaded as everything else.

Good point, I doubt PSP version sold that many digital versions.
Going by the leaked 10129 Famitsu numbers, yes:
Edit: that's all Famitsu numbers, of course

Actually due to the lack of physical copies for a good period of time, am sure that the digital version sold more than digital psp titles usually did.

ff14 is expected. i can't imagine there being many people interested in that game that haven't already picked it up on ps3 (you don't need to buy again on ps4)

SAO did well I guess.
Wii U benefit a lot from the Holidays. it was able to due good numbers (decent? maybe something more than that) even in the '13 Holidays.
PS4 launched well, kept good numbers until the launch hype faded, and then entered one of the worst period of all time for the Japanese market.
it will rise once the games will be released, and will overcome the Wii U easily, to me.

By the way, how's Curtain Call 1st week sale compared to the 1st Theatrhythm?

People need to get a grip about the PS4 sales. Seriously people, there isnt anything people exactly want on the system now or announced any time soon that would warrant a purchase.

145k for SAO is a good opening number right?
I find it strange Sony isn't doing more bundles for the Vita. Compared to the insane amount of bundles the 3DS seems to get at least.
It's a great number for an anime tie-in and for a Vita game in general. Namco must be pleased.

Is there one? Wait until E3/TSG lol When's Deep Down beta by the way?
Yes. I have posted PSP one's opening, earlier in the thread, Also, apparently there has been lack of physical version for a bit, so digital sales must be higher than usual.

At least the Wii U will have company soon.
Child of Light on May 1, maybe? Though it's also on PS3, so...impact diminished.
Is that a good thing?
Statistical noise on long-legged series, maybe.

Exactly, and that's an issue for the health of the non mobile Japanese industry.
Code:
03./00. [3DS] Theatrhythm Final Fantasy <ACT> (Square Enix) {2012.02.16} (¥6.090) - 67.206 / NEWSo an improvement.

Well no but that is pretty much what happened to PS3 too yet it recovered somehow (Yes PS4 is falling behind PS3 launch aligned but PS3 launched during holiday season).
It's always fun to play 'how low can it go?'.
You can't expect people to watch a system land with a soft 'plop' and not make a comment. Shit's interesting.
The software chart would be interesting.

Yeah, I could see that for Pokemon.
But I would be really surprised if Kirby's flatline was 6K.

Is blaz blue's portable sales normally that low?
This , and it can get really frustrating sometimes .
Yes . the PS4 numbers are horrible ,there is no other way to say it , but people really should check WHY those numbers are horrible .
It isn't simply because of "Japanese gamers do not give a shit ".
On the other hand you can say why didn't Japanese Publishers give a shit? Although, I agree until some games actually come out it's hard to gauge whether Japanese consumers care or not.
They're localizing the SAO game? That's surprising, Namco usually doesn't bother with that kind of game in the west unless it's from huge shonen franchises.

Exactly, thank you. Nice to see someone gets it.
This is an enhanced re-release and the added content is apparently available for free if you own the original game. It was never going to do that well.

Cool
Well, with the amount of those cosplays from the series I guess they kinda make sense for them to localize it
Sheesh.
When does Yokai 2 come out again?
Is it going to have a game and its sequel near topping the charts concurrently? How often has that happened?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I read that somewhere here.
I fail to see the distinction. It's selling horribly because there's no interesting software for it. Same as the WiiU.

Exactly. What's the big mystery? It's obvious why it isn't performing well.
Thanks, I thought it was a sequel. Seems decent for expansion.
You are not wrong. The series is pretty popular though. They are going for digital release only, with Gamestop having limited physical stock, so they are not putting all that much effort in.
Going by Famitsu, yes.

Pretty much. Zero software is not an understatement.
