It was there.
Hell yeah it will!
Hopefully SE can get that Dissidia game on PS4 this holiday season so Sony can do a bundle.

Wow, interesting. Kinda figured (completely out of my own ass) that the concept of Morpheus and VR wouldn't catch on at all in Japan, but it's neat to see they're actually really excited about it.
I don't know if I'd take a famitsu poling to mean much of anything for the wider consumer base.
Looks like Marvelous is gonna have a really bad year.
With Lord of Magna tanking, Senran Kagura 2 underperforming, the possibility of Estival Versus not doing too hot, and now the IA/VT fiasco...
PoPoPoLoCrois Farm Story might be their saving grace, but I'm not seeing too much hype regarding that either.

KB6 holding well
for a comparison, SK2 was priced around 2,500yen after 3 weeks
actually is 1,550yen

Shipment was tiny, that's why.
A beat'em up based on a popular manga / anime.
This actually a big question for me here. If a certain title which they undershipped suddenly had great sales and huge interest from consumer, is it possible for retail shops to re-order again those games especially if they are niche title? Like Kenka Banchou?
I wish they made a game based on Hobby Japan's The Seven Deadly Sins instead of this.
Yeah, look at how Youkai Watch did. Of course it can take time to get a reprint for a niche titles, Attack on Titan suffered due to that.
Tsutaya's report
- As it was expected, Zelda Majora's Mask is the best selling game for the week. It sold better than Ocarina of Time and A Link Between Worlds. And as Pokemon ORAS, it was bought by +20 years old people who played the last entry.
- The second place is for Samurai Warriors 4-II, the PS4 version was close to sell out.
- Third place is for Seven Deadly Sins, that it was huge supply constrained in all the country. If more stock has been available, maybe could have ranked higher.
Next week:
- God Eater 2: Rage Burst for Vita is expected to top the charts. Good amount of pre-orders. For the first time is released in a home console too (or not if we count Vita TV). Second place could be for Zelda, GE2 PS4 version or The Order 1886.

No clue.
Looking forward to seeing if God Eater can give both PSV and PS4 a bump.

they can but i think it depends a lot by the publisher
see for example Attack on Titans 2 years ago, which was sold-out for 3 weeks despite the high demand
and if it's a niche title shipment is not huge, so retail shops can order again but if the publisher doesn't provide any other stock price skyrockets
regarding KB6, it had not a big shipment but a good sell through, probably the developer had a good estimation about the sales, and if the price is still holding decently it means there is some interest around the game
the opposite happened with SK2, a huge shipment followed by poor sales, people bringing back the game, no demand for used copy, price collapsing
Regarding Kenka Bancho, the truth is that already had a second shipment, in week 1.
The blog associated to Media Create shared a 40-50% sell-through for the first day sales
http://orenoweb4th.blog.jp/archives/1017726146.html
Later, he wrote an entry talking about how some shops saw a good first day sales and ordered a second shipment. And they ended with a mountain of games.
http://orenoweb4th.blog.jp/archives/1018174522.html
He doesn't say is KB6, but you can figure out looking at the link he posted (a hint).
Later, Media Create reported a 45% sell-through for the week.
[3DS] Kenka Bancho 6: Soul & Blood <ADV> (Spike Chunsoft) {2015.01.15} (¥6.458) - 24.274 / NEW <45,07%>
Since that would mean it sold 0 copies on Fri, Sat and Sun, That practically confirms that KB6, had a second shipment the same week, just after first day sales.

there are 3 different value packs, I think those will help sales more than the game
the only audience interested in buying Vita could be previous PSP owners who want to play Rage Burst
PS4 boost will be related to the incoming DQH, not for GE
Close to sell out? I'm assuming they shipped around 30k so maybe 20k+ is the sell through.
Still terrible for a new game releasing across 3 platforms.
Musou games have done terrible in Japan on PS4. No wonder Koei are holding back from a true PS4 game. (Like a number of companies)
I guess they wanted both to have the game out before the end of Q1. I believe Atlus doesn't have anything for that quarter, right? Since Etrian Mystery Dungeon is out on March 5.
But yeah, P4D should be the winner.
It should do well. Also, this announcement reminds me of the point I brought up a show while ago when Pennywise was wondering about more good quality mid-range budget portable games for big IPs like DBZ. I pointed out that it was generally a case of needing the find the right resources, and it looks like Bandai Namco has found a new partner which fits well in this case.
Yeah, I actually thought it might be Treasure seeing as how Gaist Crusher is clearly going nowhere. I think the most important thing is that ASW suggests a certain level of quality.
No, the most important thing is that Treasure is still free, so the odds of getting a new Sin & Punishment are higher than ever!
From 0.1% to 0.2%! I love progress!
Hmmm... looking at sales trends for Dragonball though, this might not hit 200k that easily in Japan. It looks like the sales have dropped a lot over the years.
On PS3, there's a decline from >100k from 2009, slowing dropping year after year until ~50k last year. Xenoverse seems to be a huge rebound though.
On the DS, in 2005 DBZ could do >300k (Supersonic Warriors 2), in 2008 >200k (Origins), barely under 200k in 2009 (Attack of the Saiyans), <100k in 2010 (Origins 2) and 2011 (Ultimate Butoden).
If the game is well received, I can see it doing >100k again, but 200k might be a bit of a challenge.

That is why I only suggested possible 200k. I think a lot depends on what kind of quality ASW are able to deliver too.
Yeah that's a good point too. The new movie is coming out in April, so the game will be out a little later than that, but the synergy should be good. The last movie came out in 2013 a month after Ultimate Mission hit, and that worked out really well.

Seeing all the releases/SKUs being released on March 26th, what is the record of most games released in one day (or in one week)?

I can bet that 90% of those users are looking for it because of the School Girl game from Tekken Producer.

I'm still thinking Treasure will be the studio helping Nintendo on Starfox U. A lot more plausible and reasonable than Platinum or some others.
Hmm... Q Games seems more likely imo. Treasure is probably too busy with Gaist Crusher God G

Yes, evne though ASW was a bit unexpected.
The last update has Ultimate Mission 2 at 181k; it might have crawled into the 200k mark. Anyway, if the game is well promoted, and released at the right time (so to exploit, for example, Obon), it might sell well; surely better than home entries.
Sorry if this has been posted, but Makai Shin Trillion has a interesting way to encourage people to pre-order the game.
http://www.compileheart.com/trillion/campaign/
The yellow bar on the left is the amount of pre-orders (updated weekly). As more pre-orders come in, it will grow and gain ranks. Gaining ranks will unlock DLCs and other stuff which will be given out for free. The funny thing is, it also shows whether the game is making a loss or profit based on the current level of pre-orders. Ranks D, C and B are the "loss" levels. Rank A is "recoup ~ profit" level, and finally Rank S is "super profit" level.
