Media Create sales (6/19/17 - 6/25/17)

This week's Japanese sales include the debut of Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood and The Alliance Alive.

And FFXIV is still outsold by ARMS. Good debut for Farpoint though.

[Protagonist]

I guess that is one way to look at it.

I mean lets ignore it is an expansion pack (the second) and that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has sold over 3.5 million collectively, 350.000 alone in JP.

[Neonridr]

sure, or we could look at the fact that a FF game (expansion or not) was outsold by a new IP punching game on a system with a much smaller install base.

[Knushwood Butt]

Nintendo advertises Arms day and night on TV.

That's one way to look at it.

Arms sales dropped almost 75% in the second week.

That's another way to look at it.

[Geobros]

PS4 in top of hardware sales after long time. If we combine PS4 and pro has more sales than switch.

[Neonridr]

I guess that is one way to look at it.

[The 10th Rider]

Switch is still facing some serious stock issues over there. Sales might not jump again until Splatoon hits, which will likely be accompanied by a decent amount of stock.

[Lime123]

So last month in US PS4 was best selling console, and last week in Japan PS4 was best selling console. God job Sony! Imagine how PS4 will RAPE Switch next month when Dragon Quest XI drops. Then Monster Hunter World, Kingdom Hearts III, FF VII Remake,....

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Nope. Splatoon 2 releases before Dragon Quest XI and DQXI is also on 3DS. That will eat the PS4 sales.

[Lime123]

Splatoon first week in Japan - 144k
Dragon Quest IX first week in Japan - 2,3 million

@Lime123

More 3DS's in Japan than there are PS4's.

KH3 and FF7 Remake.. so I guess we should meet back here in like 2019 to discuss the sales of those games when they release?

PS4 on multiple SKUs was the best selling console, Switch shortages are still rampant, especially in Japan. And a FF game (expansion) was outsold by a boxing game on Switch. Wait until games like Pokken Tournament, Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, etc release. It won't even be close.

[Lime123]

Horizon Zero Dawn - a new western IP - outsold ARMS - Nintendo game in Japan. Not looking good.

[Lime123]

Splatoon 2 releases 8 days before Dragon Quest XI, still PS4 version of Dragon Quest XI is #1 on amazon Japan ATM, Splatoon 2 #4.

Kingdom Hearts III had E3 trailer, and will have new trailer next month.

[Neonridr]

@Lime123 - just stop buddy. Nintendo owns Japan. Just look at total software sales and it's easy to see.

[Lime123]

71% drop for ARMS? Not looking good.

[Prince_TFK]

Lol I'm sure Nintendo and Switch owners are shaking in their boots by this drop in sale.

/s

[Neonridr]

yet still sold the most software for the given week.

[Lime123]

Yea, I'm so stupid. Sub 30k is fantastic result for ARMS.

[Neonridr]

it sold over 130k in 9 days (100k in 2 days last week). How many Japanese gamers own Switches do you think? Less than a million.
