He takes the example of the launch of Metaphor: ReFantazio in early October: the title sold well in Japan, but it also performed extremely positively across the entire Asian continent, he tells us.

It's not as lopsided as something like Yakuza but a bit less than half of Metaphor WW sales are in Asia (because EMEA remains relatively weak for historical reasons)

Yakuza 8 Sales Are "Strong", Especially In Japan and Asia

Furthermore, sales in Japan and Asia seem to have made up a big part of this momentum, as Yokoyama notes, “The game is incredibly strong in Japan. Sales in (the rest of) Asia are also quite strong, but the momentum in Japan is even greater than in the past.”

Congrats to Paper Mario TTYD on your win.

What are those posts even trying to imply

Your life has no meaning.
You serve zero purpose.
You should kill yourself. NOW.

wait
did the ps4 move less than 10M on jp?
i just fucking stopped to notice it now, is this right?

Playstation is still massively important to third party. 6 year development cycles might kill the Switch 2, they will be doing even more remasters

N64 only sold 5.5 million in Japan. Wii which was hugely successful worldwide only sold 12 million. You can't compare portable to home console in Japan from 2005 onwards, it's becoming an increasingly irrelevant market for third parties who have to sell globally

mental illness
I actually mean when I say this: get help

09./00. [PS5] Slitterhead # <ADV> (Bokeh Game Studio) {2024.11.08} (¥4.980) - 4.697 / NEW

PlayStation 5 – 88.160 (6.207.882)

What are they playing?

The scalping specially while the yen is weak as fuck game

I got just 30days banned for just write "E*ic". Kill yourself useless tranny mod and kill yourself brazilian macaco.
I hope when (not if) Playstation will fall it will take you with it.

Prediction for DQ3 sales

it's becoming an increasingly irrelevant market for third parties who have to sell globally

Meanwhile the train games of Konami sold several million in japan alone. cope more snoy

trying to make the ps4 numbers look good by comparing it the N64 is wild

Fuck it
1,2M for Switch and 200k for PS5

PS4 sold 117 million worldwide. It sold more than Wii, Wii U, NES, SNES, Gamecube, 3DS, Gameboy OG

worldwide

Wrong thread buddy

And not a single one of them are in the top 10 this week.

yk things are rough if we have to go back to talk about the PS4 sales

6-7 years, Mario will be ready but Zelda is at least 6 years away, I'm not looking forward to more AA full priced games, even N64 and GameCube had more substantial games and less filler

Gameboy OG

Snoys are truly dishonest. I imagine the ps4 numbers are just the og and not og+slim+pro huh retard?

two more weeks this time for real!

2 more weeks and Nintendo will have games?

Nintendo has more games this year than PS5 in four years

Gameboy OG

Gameboy sold 120M

See

Yeah but most of them suck or are overpriced, filler games, rehashed mini games like Mario party you faggots try to compare to Sony's masterpieces. Astro bot is better than most the platformers on switch including odyssey

Already at thread number 2?

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven <RPG> (Square Enix) {2024.10.24} (¥6.200) - 6.729 / 91.742 (-54%)

Based its my goty so im glad it has legs

Mario Party is holding up pretty good too

Predict next week's PS5 numbers

you tried too hard and failed. kek at the snoys

Interesting that its lasted so long in the charts, Square always underships their games on Switch

Wasn't that hard, just stating the facts, the switch library is shit and padded with garbage

this but ps5

Aquaplus abandoned Playstation

Falcom abandoned Playstation

Could we genuinely see Compile Heart and NIS abandon ship too? They at least went multiplat with Switch but their contemporaries are outright abandoning the platform.
Aquaplus in particular is insane, they've not once supported Nintendo in their 30 years of life until now.

There hasn't been 1 good game as good as returnal for switch and that was a launch title

while the yen is weak as fuck game

snoy doesnt do regional pricing anon

returnal

funnily enough longer legs than flopazio as well

returnal is not even an exclusive lmfao

Famitsu threads in the 2020's be like

183939394.jpg - 686x386, 38.05K

RPG outside of nintendo platform.

Dunno what they expected. Also why the fuck this shit run worse than SMTV despite looking worse?

the switch library is shit and padded with garbage

Considering that a good 80%~90% of the Japanese Playstation games are available on Switch, you're insulting your own brand in the process.

The absolute state of Fatlus

after tokyo clanpool that number goes up to 81-91% lmao

Snoy just needs to release a new PlayStation 5 console every week to beat switch sales

The most surprising think is that Japan is actually buying Plthe PS5

Why does it need to be exclusive, its not on switch, It's a Sony game, it was exclusive for a while, the next housemarque game will be timed exclusive. The point is it was just one timed exclusive in an impressive lineup since launch and a better game than Nintendo has made in a long time, I'm not a fan of the new zelda's and you get so defensive whenever someone criticizes them it tells me you're maybe lying to yourselves about Nintendo's games

It's a Sony game

No it's not. I didn't read the rest because it will be trash for sure

China are buying the Japanese PS5's

lol

snoycucks.png - 741x687, 345.57K

I was also thinking of Yakuza Kiwami as this one is still in the top Eshop chart in Japan. Last time I checked earlier this week, it was ranked #5 (number 1 in digital-only titles) and that one interview from the developer chief gave away that it wasn't an one-note port (they only started development this Spring tho) so it's expected to see the other games coming out next.

Sad news: It turns out that most of the Switch products sold in China are the "Japanese version" and the Chinese sales are recorded in Japan!

To the samefag schizo from the last thread, Brothership flopped and you're the retard.

PCfags can not longer satisfy Valves needs, Valve doesn't even make games anymore let alone exclusives, pc has been a fucking joke exclusive wise since 2005 and you know it. Ps5 is still the best place to play, we don't have to wait for the biggest games of the year and there's always a new exclusive coming and we don't have to worry about cheaters, shader stutter and we have physical games, what does pc have besides mods? PS5 pro is the pc killer

71NqBuE1PrL.jpg - 883x1199, 168.23K

yeah I play on PC so I wonder how it did digitally. I doubt it hit over like 3k on steam

Well it's expected, Mario Party is an evergreen after all.

new mario n luigi must be doing something right if it caused over 50+ deleted posts last thread

It has over 3k right now weeks later. The game actually has legs. I think it hit a 16k peak which is around the same level as octopath 2

88k

Really? That was it??

09./00. [PS5] Slitterhead # <ADV> (Bokeh Game Studio) {2024.11.08} (¥4.980) - 4.697 / NEW

Ah right, the scalpers. Let's see how well they hold up going into DQ3-HD.

1330130022983.png - 298x289, 115.53K

Alright lads, predictions:
How much will Dragon Quest sell on Switch and PS5?
Will Lego Horizon chart at all?

the worst Animal crossing in the series still makes the top 10 4 years later

We’re doomed

you not being satisfied by New Horizons doesn't mean City Folk is suddenly good.

You people don’t know what a flop is

That's probably city folk actually

in one hand, the launch is so horrid even worldwide on steam that it barely got 500 players at launch
on the other hand, at least it sold better than unknown 9 i guess? so it MAY chart, even if it's at the very bottom with like 1k sales

Huh I don't see City Folk on the list
Or Pocket Camp

They are probably getting ready for MH Wilds.

That spike from the Pro or is it more macaco madness?

The PS versions of DQ3 are probably going to stick to the low ranks for a bit so probably not.

>PlayStation 5 – 88.160 (6.207.882)

Switch – 64.012 (34.312.256)

we have physical games

I can't imagine saying this after what shitny just crapped out for $700 + scalper tip + retailer stocking tip + paying to use your internet connection AGAIN + accessories + no sales on digital.

Pro released at 78k

wii faggot defender spotted.

Meltdown status? PS5 pro barely being scalped must not be a good thing for his psyche
78k for the pro. Sony needs to release the PS5 pro pro next week to sell 78k units again

only 78k

That brick is DoA

The interesting thing is gonna be the second week drop, just see the news about scalpers having a hard time selling the thing lmao

M&L Brothership is the second lowest selling original game in the franchise:

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA) - 63,839
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (DS) - 133,229
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS) - 220,055
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (3DS) - 108,005
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (3DS) - 50,105
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (3DS) - 28,163
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey (3DS) - 9,178
Mario & Luigi: Brothership (NSW) - 63,441

Good to see it outsold paper jam and the pointless 3ds remakes

Sold almost on par with the first game after the 3DS dip

Am I supposed to see this as bad?

It’ll probably do fine, every switch game sells at least a million
Digital sales on switch are far stronger too, so there’s probably a decent number there
Will have to wait until till nintendos fiscal report to see the total numbers

He always has though, he just works for Nintendo. Hell he and Nomura are basically best friends.

Holy shit what happened to BIS lol

Like I said in the other thread, that's a pretty decent result considering how many Mario rpgs there are on the Switch.

Remember when Nintendo consoles were the kiddy platforms that couldn't handle mature rpgs for adults? I remember.

pot calling the kettle black

Say his name again.

It had a better launch than SS considering digital, it's likely on par with DT.

that BIS launch

Dream team debuted lower than PIT but also became the second best selling

It was bullshit excuse made by shit devs, Nintendo platforms always had ton of rpgs but mostly on handhelds.

Im sure than 90% of the people working on Nintendo play as much as they can.
At least the directors.

youtu.be/u4Br8Pt11f0?feature=shared

Kek, Atlus just dropped a SMTVV demo for PC and Playstation but no Switch, the platform where the game sold the best.
I swear sometimes it really does feel like some JP devs have a thing against Nintendo.

Sakurai has always hated Nintendo

The superstar saga remake wasn't pointless, with it you could effectively play the whole mario & luigi saga up to that point in one single console, the BiS remake, however...

What is attempted to be conveyed with the copypasta spam at the top of every thread?

As a devil advocate, do kid games ever do well on steam?

lol, lmao even.

Take example Level 5, aside Ni no Kuni everything else sold like shit on other platforms.

Name one thing wrong with CF that wasn’t the grass. You can’t because you didn’t play it

no xbox either

I guess the metaphor shilling from xbox didn't cover further expenses. Lmao at them releasing a demo almost 6 months after it came out and flopped everywhere but the Switch, god I can't wait for the Switch 2 announcement to see all these retards kneel

this doesn't work mainly because of two factors. first of all valve never advertised those as big platform exclusives. second you're not a PC player writing that, the author of that article is a massive snoy and he wrote it like a cuck fantasy

They're one of the most confusing companies

retard forgot about sakurai playing persona 5 before it came to the switch

why even post if you don't know what you're talking about?

Yes and yes. Reminder that Nintendo bought Ryujinx from the macaco that made it

didn't exceed the last actual true entry in the series

It flopped.

it did

Nintendo could have a won if they stuck with the WiiU, the PS5 is such a flop.

>Sold almost on par with the first game after the 3DS dip

You completely ignored the fact that the Switch has a much bigger install base than the GBA, you worthless fanboy.
And yes, the sales are bad.

didn't exceed the last actual true entry in the series

Paper Jam sold 50k first week.

And it also has more mario rpgs than the GBA, one of which came out six months ago. Stay mad snoy, by the end of the month it will have outsold astroflop worldwide

Good to see it outsold paper jam and the pointless 3ds remakes

It only outsold those games because the Switch sold much more than the 3DS. The sales are more disappointing than Paper Jam.

install base doesn't mean anything retard. more people having the console doesn't mean that more people will be interested in the series

Pretty good. Brothership essentially redebuted the series after so long.

install base doesn't mean anything retard.

It definitely does.

good to see that brothership was deemed good enough to revive the series

the fucking crossover with paper mario

ignoring dream tram entirely

tendies actually think that Brothership sold well

Enjoy your dead series for the second time.

2m

This.

You should have bought astroflop instead of letting it flop, snoy

>PlayStation 5 – 88.160 (6.207.882)

how much is this just scalpers getting fucked? lmao

Paper Jam was the last true entry in the series before Brothership came along though.

Well, make a guess.

1731005449699.png - 547x837, 225.35K

At least 90% snoys tongue Chinese anus

how did the other lego games fare on steam?
stopping to think about it, i don't remember any heavy hitter but i also don't remember paying any attention

no it doesn't. specially on the switch with games that are almost a decade old selling in the millions every year. if a series has 1 million fans then the install base being 10 million or 100 million doesn't matter, even more so if the series isn't trying to appeal to more people than just the fans. people buy consoles to play certain games, not the other way around

don't people love the lego games? how the fuck did sony manage to fuck this one up?

base PS5 still doing onlu 10k

Yeah, PS5 Pro is being scalped. Cant wait to see how low it sinks next month.

No one wanted a 'cado spin-off.

PlayStation 5 – 88.160 (6.207.882)

Switch – 64.012 (34.312.256)

I smell a meltdown.

it happened. the usual suspect is coping with the PS5 pro selling rather poorly

It sold more than paper jam at a later point in the switches lifespan
You people don’t know what a flop is

This "line must go up" shit is why so many vidys companied are shitting bricks.
Good thing Nintendo ain't one of them.

there's a few reports already of people not being able to resell their scalped PS5 pros

lol keep saying that

So that's even worse since his backstabbing happened even earlier.

and funnily enough even not following this mentality they are still able to make the lines go up

backstabbing

it's not like he was able to play anything on playstation for the last 3 generations

PS5s sell a lot

PS5 games don't

WHY ARE PEOPLE EVEN BUYING THE FUCKING CONSOLE???? Are they all scalpers?

Backstabbing

What are you talking about? He has a collection of controllers and consoles. Obviously as a game director he has to play games from other consoles to understand them.

controller.png - 1147x657, 991.88K

I'm still convinced that P5 was slated to come to the Switch much, much earlier.
But after P5 got its GotY nominations and Playstation caught wind of how P5 was going to be in Smash, they decided to intervene to moneyhat the game with timed exclusivity. Making the Switch port super late.

Remember. Playstation didn't give a flying fuck about P5 initially. but then 180d on the game very suddenly.

Golden eye classic controller

my nigga

Dude even Miyamoto plays games from other companies.

Nah, Atlus is just that stupid

What the fuck are you talking about? It isn't some retarded sports to actual adults, people play what they want, not marry some brand as their "only true company".
Please, stop. Stop anything that is making you act and think like this.

It sold more than paper jam at a later point in the switches lifespan

Only because the Switch has double the install base of the 3DS. Stop coping and accept that it flopped.

God what the fuck were they thinking with the Playstation Wiimote lmaoo

Yes, astroflop flopped. We know.

they know their audience.

file.png - 320x240, 98.08K

how hard will the PS5 crater next week?

so will the switch manage to reach ps2 sales?

I still remember me and my mom visiting her friend to help her with some moving stuff

We go the living room

Mom sees a PS3 wii-mote on chair bit away

Quickly asks me to get something from car while nudging her friend at the wii-mote

She thought her friend left her "toy" in living room at first and tried to distract me to avoid an awkward situation

We all laughed so hard at the whole thing, and still do sometimes. It was on side so the buttons were hidden, making it look even more like one. Could never unsee it after that.

Guaranteed at this point, made it to 146 million by September's end.

That’s not even taking into account the digital sales
Again, you people don’t know what a flop is

PS4

9.504.341 in Japan

117.4 million WW

8.11% were sold in Japan

PS5

6.207.882 in Japan

65.5 million WW

9.47% were sold in Japan

Wii U

3.340.000 in Japan

13.56 million WW

24.6% were sold in Japan

Switch

34.312.256 in Japan

146.06 million WW

23.5% were sold in Japan

Wii U was selling in Japan at the same rate as Switch is.
Japan likes home consoles. They don't like Playstation

for third parties who have to sell globally

Thrid parties sell the best on Switch in Japan AND globally

I don't see it doing well on Switch lol.
The two og games are on Steam and look how it's doing.

second lowest

The most intelligent Snoy

Good. Tendies rejecting Horizon slop would be the funnies thing ever

lmao at the snoys thinking Brothership would be an actual flop.

Salty because of astroflop being unable to outsell zelda with only two days in the market

any time a new model launches it'll do well week 1 before stabilizing

3pp1mvf9gyxd1.jpg - 1440x1800, 764.11K

I remember when YoshiP bragged about Dawntrail having more 'concurrent' players than any other expansion. Turns out it was because Dawntrail was the only expansion where they didn't artificially kneecap the servers on launch, thus allowing more people to actually play at the same time. Sony's definitely doing the same thing with the Pro; by not artificially limiting the stock like they did with the PS4 Pro, more "buyers" and scalpers are able to buy/pre-order at launch. Velly vely sneaky, these slant eyed japs.

fucking kek
