Objective sales data is not flamewarring. Japanese game sales have been part of Anon Babble culture for more than a decade

Sales data. Move to:

So curious to see how the switch 2 performs with all the bad press around it right now. I mean obviously it'll do well in Japan since they're getting it cheap but the rest of the world? I wonder

inb4 SNOY MEHOY

only sony console I ever owned was a ps2

snoy fanboy despite only having one console

wow

evading a ban

Is that why you're calling for them to be banned from Anon Babble too?

30k of switch 1 sold on a random week, 3 weeks before the switch 2 launches.

what the fuck

None of this is objective sales data. It's propaganda and lies

so that's why mister E is spamming gay porn today....

MFW Anon Babble won't survive the Switch 2 release

0473746846.jpg - 1024x585, 76.42K

Shitendo won't survive

tomodachi life is huge in japan apparently

posted it again

CLEAN IT UP JANNY

agreed
mods should not delete these threads, they could only lock them before the consolewarvermin arrive

Evading 5 bans just today

why don't you let me make muh hate thread that is against the rules on top of the other rules I break every week...

MOOOOOOODS YOU MISSED ONE

Which rule does this break?

it's hilarious how nintendo haters try to delude themselves into thinking nintendo is anything but a massive success
and then they ask jannies to delete evidence to enable their delusion echo chamber
literally r*ddit behavior

Unprecedented melty.

Seems slightly unfair to delete threads with completely neutral OPs tbdesu

reality is hate speech

Winning

What rules did the vermin spamming these threads break?

Yet blatant consolewarring threads full of samefagging schizos stay up.

Yeah please show me the rule that says famitsu threads aren’t allowed.

evades van

posts sales data

threatens to dox jannies

constant fanboy posts

You deserve the ban, retard.

The board would be full of meltdowns and cope threads but it's okay because they're totally not console warring threads

someone posts video game sales numbers on the video game board

AAAIEEEE MODS DO SOMETHING, THIS FACTUAL EVIDENCE OF NINTENDO'S MASSIVE SUCCESS IS HURTING ME

Sales data is off topic.

This is banworthy? Really? Not literal cropped porn?

When your ass gets banned and you ban evade nothing you post is going to stay on the board. Hope that helps.

None of this is factual, it's lies and propaganda

Fpbp. Jannies are retarded

posts sales data on a video game discussion board for the sole purpose of fanboy posting

Selling 30k right before next-gen comes out is crazy

Where's the lie and propaganda?

07./11. [PS5] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 <RPG> (Kepler Interactive) {2025.04.24} (¥6.727) - 3.254 / 13.079 (+28%)

goddamn those are some pathetic numbers, they are well within the range of "only expats, chink exports and the schizos in okinawan westoid bases are buying it"
no wonder snoy jannies have been pissy all week

video game sales are highly relevant to a video game board
you just pretend otherwise because the numbers in these sales really hurt your fanboy feelings

This is how Nintendo has Sony in Japan.

These numbers are fake

Switch – 29.710 (35.666.567)

PlayStation 5 – 8.615 (6.833.479)

Oof...

False. Other way around

Let them post, they're literally shilling for a company worth less than one 1/3rd of PS, less than half of MS gaming and under Steam.
If they start sperging which they will within the minute them ban these threads once and for all.

Threads are fine for 10+ years

not now though

I don't get it

MODS DELETE THIS THREAD NOOOOW!!!

Just realized the kikestation is back to 4 digit numbers despite the E33 buff.
MH was pretty much the last chance for them to be relevant again and it did nothing.

The raped

the_raped.jpg - 800x533, 19.32K

PS5 back down to 4 digit sales numbers

guess it couldn't last

Saar... I'm not sure you even know what you're posting about. Hatred has clouded your mind.

with PiSSRaped technology

Isn't nintendo worth something like 2/3s of sony as a whole, not just playstation?
see

BRO TRUST ME WE TALK ABOUT VIDEO GAMES IN THIS THREAD

Numbers going up week-over-week for a relatively new game means the game was undershipped
Would've sold more if there were any physical copies available

It's not like this is something unique, 4 digits is hardly any different from the abysmal performance of the last few years. Why not delete 30/30s if that's the issue?

certain "people" are upset about nintendo's success, so they want to hide any proof of it and delude themselves into thinking nintendo is flopping

SOMEONE IS POSTING PROOF OF NINTENDOMINATION, WE MUST BAN THEM TO PROTECT OUR LGBTQ BLM WESTOID GARBAGE

Anon Babble thread deleted

Isn't nintendo worth something like 2/3s of sony as a whole, not just playstation?

yes, and that's without taking company debt into consideration
take it into comparison and they have far higher profit margins than sony as a whole

Bleakness Awaits

kinda interesting that a remake of an old Visual Novel can get 21k in sales in japan

Move to:

blacked awaits
kike propaganda unleashed

sHITCH 2 ALREADY FLOPPED

Before some troon nukes the thread someone tell me how to read this shit

Dropping the dead weight that was kojimbo has done wonders to Konami.

Tokimeki Memorial is THE dating sim.

The dying embers of an underpowered console in its NINTH YEAR are nearly beating ps5, in the traditional peak year of a console and after it just had its biggest game it will ever get in the country, 4:1 just 3 weeks before the much more powerful successor launches. They want these threads gone before that happens.

It's THE romance VN.

Spot in the chart / spot in the chart last week - title - sales / sales last week

Konami has been on a fucking warpath farming money off dead genres lately, it's fucking great.
It really helps they actually did a decent job porting the DQ1-3 equivalent of VNs, this one was just THAT historically relevant.

tell me how to read this shit

what do you find so difficult to understand? It's physical sales numbers for the past week in Japan, ordered in a ranking from highest to lowest. First ranking is for games second ranking is for consoles.

It's total sales, media create was the one that did sales last week, grandpa

What game can save PS5 in Japan?

MOOOOOODDSS
THIS THREAD UPSETS ME

see

How can we talk about video games here when jannies won't let us?

Fuck, my arthritis....

Ironically enough that just makes people post them harder.
If left to their own devices these threads barely last 50 posts before getting archived from inactivity, then the 30/30 later that day also gets 50 posts before dying out for the week.
It literally is the snoyim activity trying to shitpost and get the threads shut down that keeps them alive.

oh so sales threads are allowed after all, good to know, so this thread should stay up

Reddit33bros...... I thought we were on top....

Reminder the janny has spent hours deleting famitsu threads now while this is still up

And as usual, mobile completely mogs consoles.

MH Milds is already out of the top 10 when the bar is that low and that was supposed to be The Game.

This is a flagrant fanboy thread. The entire thing is console war posts.

GTA VI might save them abroad, but I am not sure it will have much of an effect in Japan

07./11. [PS5] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 <RPG> (Kepler Interactive) {2025.04.24} (¥6.727) - 3.254 / 13.079

pfft

If left to their own devices these threads barely last 50 posts before getting archived from inactivity

Famitsu threads without shit posting reach 500 and archive, there's usually only 2 a week.

meant for

this isn't a console war thread. There are dozens of console war threads in the catalog right now if you want to go and complain in them though

Makes conservative estimate (still highest selling first year for any console)

Snoys take this to mean pre orders weren't a huge success

Kek

They'll port it to Switch 2 soon enough

Are we safe?

Genuinely, who is getting gta6 at launch that doesn't already have a ps5? It's the niggercattle game and the niggercattle console, the overlap is staggering.

Tokimeki Memorial is the progenitor to all dating sim games, it's worth looking up the history of the series.

Someone called that bluff and made a thread in Anon Babble, which got deleted.

True, but name drama is not vidya.

If sales are good, then sales threads will be banned, but bad press and shitposting threads will stay

Makes conservative estimate (still highest selling first year for any console)

Snoys take this to mean pre orders weren't a huge success

lol

01./00. [NSW] Tokimeki Memorial: Forever with You Emotional

What the hell is that? Is that some sort of VN game?

COMBINED

COMBINED

GLOBAL

Kek, snoys are so pathetic.
And even then HSR had it's biggest collab yet in the history of hoyoslop (literally fate stay night) and LaD despite being combined revenue barely edges above pokemon without the JP and CN server money, which historically have been 80% of the revenue of any gacha.

the schizo can make 20 posts using his trip, but you can't call him out

What name drama?

Why? Who would be upset? Most of the board likes Nintendo. Is this a strawman of sorts?

Explain the countless snoy posts and "Nintendo won" posts

Anyone have the screencaps of you know who responding to his own posts with his whole "you lost and got raped" schtick, but accidentally leaving his trip on?

Who would be upset?

The schizos making 30 anti-nintendo threads per day

Where did I say or imply that?

Who would be upset?

Schizos with a lot of free time and Anon Babble passes

explain

And how many are there?

there's usually only 2 a week.

these only happen once a week, tard snoyim
the one like 3 days ago was a special case due to golden week vacation, which means for a period of almost 2 weeks we had zero threads a week

Serious question
why are nintendo haters this mindbroken and obsessed?

why would their number matter? It's their output that matters.

top 10 and top 30

I'm talking about top 10 and 30 bro

Switch – 29.710 (35.666.567)

PlayStation 5 – 8.615 (6.833.479)

W-what's going on??

Serious question
why are sony haters this mindbroken and obsessed?

Mario Kart Worlds week 1 sales will be ________.

we can't know if it's only one schizo or more, as I said it doesn't matter what the number is

Those are usually within the same thread when the glownigger is busy running damage control in other threads.

meant for

Right? How do people spend all their days obsessing over a company they fucking hate? What causes this mental illness?

6 million, although that's largely due to bundles.

The FSN Collab hasn't happened, and that won't do as well as expected because they're giving one of the two Collab characters for free.
And even then, both are DPS characters. AKA the characters that are powercrept the fastest in the game.

over a million

If you really want to split hairs, people hired by israel to spread propaganda technically don't count as schizos, they count as shills.

Ehhh, macaco and 'ric are two different people, despite their many similarities, and then you get ACFag popping up too

I used to be a sony, it is weird, Sony becomes your everything and you get an irrational hate for Nintendo, used to be for PC too but that one got fazed out.

It used to be that before these threads got this fast we had top 10 on Thursday and top 30 on Friday.

07./11. [PS5] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 <RPG> (Kepler Interactive) {2025.04.24} (¥6.727) - 3.254 / 13.079 (+28%)

MHWILDS out of TOP 10

PlayStation 5 – 8.615 (6.833.479)

Can't wait for P(laystation)-Studio to skip the Switch/Switch 2 for P4remake and P6 only to sell sub 50k FW and completely murder the Persona IP in Japan.

are you spamming this same info on the Ubisoft threads?

Right? How do people spend all their days obsessing over a company they fucking hate? What causes this mental illness?

No way the switch 2 will be able to run E33, let's be real here.

I've been out of the loop, who got raped to the point that famitsu threads get nuked?

of course he isn't
sales data is bad and console warring when it shows nintendo doing well

It hardly is more visually impressive than FF7 rebirth. In fact it's graphically worse, and that's coming.

It runs on a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB for Min Req, ofc it should be able to.

Sony

tokimemo rerelease

still not in English

I fucking hate you zipperheads, I only played the fuck out of Love Plus because of the Gintama episode, I even learned Japanese baby talk

IMG_0246.jpg - 450x337, 66.64K

Nigga that just watched the Switch 2 running FFVII Remake, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, Duskbloods, Hitman, Borderlands 4, Mario Kart World, MP4 in 4k60, and Fortnite a month ago is saying that asset store UE5 game can't run on the Switch 2 because it just can't

They didn't get their Switch 2 pre-order email

As soon as Splatoon 4 comes out, I'll be coming into every one of these threads with a metaphorical bottle of lotion. Only metaphorical because I won't need lotion to masturbate furiously to the crazy numbers that game will pull in Japan. I wouldn't need lotion either way.

california station 5 and estrogen deck

used to be for PC too but that one got fazed out.

It only died due to GPU prices getting retarded with covid and never really recovering.
It tried to start off again with the steam deck but steamies tend to not even be that loud compared to snoys, and even then the loudest deckies also seem to be just snoys trying to shit on the switch.

But you say the whole board will be broken.

3 weeks

Man, holy shit time flies, didn't even realize.

I wish console wars were allowed on this board. At least it’s more entertaining than thinly veiled threads like this and the hourly “switch 2 DOA!!1!” threads

when it shows nintendo doing well

When it shows japanese companies doing well.
I take it you were not around the unhinged vita shitposting era during it's first 1-2 years of it's lifespan.
Granted it was not as bad in quantity as this unhinted switch shitposting era, but it was far more schizophrenic.

dozens of obvious anti-nintendo flamewarring and blatant sony fanboys threads are left up

these are left alone

one thread that isn't pro anything and is just how well games are selling

DELTE THIS RIGHT NOW HOW DARE YOU YOU'RE CONSOLE WARRING

really makes you think

thinly veiled threads like this

Try harder

EOPs are subhumans that deserve nothing.
Konami are gods for abandoning the goyjin market with their real releases.

Anon Babble is never complete without the weekly famitsu thread

every anti-Nintendo thread is a snoy thread

Proof?

oof XCX already out of the top 10
guess this series died with XB2 since it hasn't had any growth or new fans come in since

They are allowed. What do you think threads made by Eric and other famitsu regulars are?

I told you to use iirc to ask mods about what the fuck is happening, your fault for not doing that.

To do what?

Israel fucked up and pulled a bug chinks because orange man incidentally implied palestine is a state and are threatening attacks on muttrica for retaliation for that.
This is coming off from leftoids fucking up and pushing their free palestine shit at full throttle.
Glowies have been extremely pissy the entire week.

Reading comprehension isn't your forte I assume

yes, so? As I said it's output that matters

Japan is historically adverse to ports. Even the DQ3 HD port struggled to sell iirc.

sanest Anon Babble escapee

Every time I saw these threads today they got removed erroneously but the person spamming year+ old "news" isn't. Now they stray further off topic because discussion is about their removal.
They should just boot the Poster(s) and the bot instead of repeating their actions all day today and tomorrow.
Or stop being hypocritical about the threads that are removed. We know discussing sales data isn't a rule break.

pretty much the only reason i come to 4/v/ at this point, everything else i follow is on 8 already

new mario kart releasing next month

mario kart 8 deluxe is 8 years old

still outsells expedition 33 weekly sales

and these niggers say that mario kart is a game no one cares about

Looking at the archive to see what posts get deleted from the old threads is really illuminating.

any post even slightly positive of nintendo is deleted

the actual spambot posts, and console war spam is left alone

ps5 sub 10k

Oh no.
Anyone got the numbers for the golden week?

most overhyped and braindead rushdown jrpg of al time does 13k in 2 qweeks

lol

I wouldn't even call them snoys at this point. They're just people that have a huge hate boner for nintendo that they'll simp for shit like palworld, astrobot or the steam deck to get back at them

Bruhdder, JRPGs are always frontloaded, the only exceptions to this rule were always DQ and MH, with no other exceptions.
Also it was a censored port to boot, don't expect much beyond launch numbers when you can just buy an used cheap wii u and the game in japan no problem if you really want to play it.

They should just boot the Poster(s) and the bot instead of repeating their actions all day today and tomorrow.

meant for

Remasters of 10 year old games aren't meant to reach a new audience. It was Xenoblade 3 that failed to reach new people, but then again it wasn't even that bad considering it's the curse of most Nintendo IPs that get a second entry on the same console

If their favorite streamer is not going :O over it, they think the game is irrelevant

13,079

lol
lmao even

You are only allowed to shit on Nintendo because the mods are snoy tranies.

you forgot these

the golden week figures for PS5 was just over 20k, think the breakdown was 13k one week and 7k the next

I shit on S*ny just as much and I’ve never been banned

It was 30k and 25k for switch and ps5 10k 90k for ps5, ps5 had a 3k boost because they were selling a discounted Wilds bundle.

and even then on jp twitter people suspect it was just bug chinks panic buying before a fifth price hike for summer vacation

Ops 10k + 9k* for PS5

01./00. [NSW] Tokimeki Memorial: Forever with You Emotional # <SLG> (Konami) {2025.05.08} (¥6.000) - 21.032 / NEW

Konami, please. STOOOOP
You are making those that hated you because you fired Kojima look like absolute RETARDS

The inevitable xenoblade 2 remaster for the 10 year anniversary in two years what the fuck will sell like shit too

Sales are going to absolutely collapse next week, this week still had two days of Golden Wwek counted in it so the sales are still a bit boosted.

little E is a friend of the mods, or a mod, he never really gets banned, at best they just erase posts and tell him to come back later

Have you seen the previews for the new DS? Kojima is so far up his ass he makes hollywood directors like tarantion or scorcese seem humble

I can only imagine what goes behind the scenes on this shithole lol, I was supposed to get banned for 3 days for saying I was surprised the site went back up so soon.

Woke up and now it's gone.

Post hand, I wanna see how many times you whack off to anime girls instead of impregnating Japanese cakes

MH was pretty much the last chance for them to be relevant again and it did nothing.

Honestly impressive how hard and fast this monster hunter dropped in any relevant zeitgeist. Normalfags sucked off worlds for months if not years but widls just sizzled out like a fart after 2 weeks.

2027 will be the new entry. Xenoblade 2 DE will be for 2030

I’m really interested to see how the switch 2 performs in Japan.
Already have mine preordered and DK Bananza, I wish it launched at the same time but they want to go all in on MK being THE launch title.

You know I hadn't really thought about it that much but yeah, Wilds really came and went fast compared to previous MH games, wonder what the difference was?

Good on Konami for not chasing the AAA western train and instead do reasonable budget games that western ps fans will all refuse to aknowledge exist.
Square would have turned those VNs into 600 million dollar AAA game series.

Death Stranding 2's internal reviews are scoring higher than the original but Hideo Kojima wishes the PS5 sequel was more controversial.

videogameschronicle.com/news/test-death-stranding-2-reviews/

He added: “Sony is pleased, of course, but I do wish I was a bit more controversial. Blockbuster films need an 80 percent approval rating – I don’t want to make games like that. I’m not interested in appealing to the mass market, or selling millions of copies… That’s not what I’m aiming for.”

Just when you think he couldn't be any more insufferable he outdones himself, bravo kojimbo

snoys are even getting called out on twitter

Lmao

1000008992.jpg - 1352x2255, 780.85K

thats a low of shovelware

He's looking he made vidya and not movies. If He was a movie director, He would be forgotten after his first flop

Feels like Wilds just dropped off, are people even playing it? Even Rise felt like a huge deal at launch.

I absolutely hate Nintendo and their shitty fisher price toys, but it’s fucking beautiful to see Sony get raped and gaped like this. Fucking humbled, 0 fucking games and an $800 paper weight
I hope they go bankrupt soon. Then Mario and his gay company are next

Why are they like this?

Yeah really. Rise was discussed a LOT, so was world I barely see wilds anymore.

Look at this snoy's twitter account

it's full of anti-nintendo tweets

What causes this mental illness?

Based ElonGOD buying twitter to rape retards spreading misinformation

Sorry to burst your bubble but Nintendo has enough cash reserves to operate at a loss for like 30 years.

Playstation 5 back down to sub-10k numbers is wild.

I often see people making the fact that they hate Nintendo their entire personality.

Out of 57 titles listed, TWELVE of them are important enough to have their own page. Half of which are unreleased, and 2 of the remaining are destruction allstars and quantum error.

PS5 got a new price increase in Europe and some other regions, not sure about Japan. It’s ridiculous.

apparently the mods have a 'private ban reason' form and can track your lifetime bans and IP like somethingawful and specifically single out people they don't like
they're fucking awful

And this is including the tail end of golden week I think

want to know whats funnier? it was done on the cheap, likely half of indie budgets these days because its a fucking VN remake, and it still sold that well

They've raised the price TWICE I think in japan
It is little wonder why its tanking there, and why nintendo went out of their way to make a less expensive japan only version of the switch 2

Strange how its okay for them to make hating nintendo their personality but relentlessly shit on fans for making it their personality i personally dont

HOLY FUCKING BASED!

Switch – 29.710 (35.666.567)

PlayStation 5 – 8.615 (6.833.479)

won't laugh or the jannie/schizo will ba sad. but nice bruh moment, Sony.

Not surprising, you can be in a thread, see one of the known shitposts spam 30 off-topic posts, then when no one bites 200 on-topic posts will get deleted while the shitposter is left alone

Is the screaming about this thread (more than usual) fear for what's coming once the Switch 2 is out?

Personally, I'm all for games like these doing good numbers because I want more games like Tokimeki and Famicom Detective Club in the future.

World could be pirated and it ran on any potato with some ini file tweaks even for the hardware at the time.
Halfrice needs a top of the line PC to be playable and it has THREE goddamn DRMs including denuvo.
In terms of word of mouth relevancy, that's massive differences.

Yep

Yep here in Europe it’s also the second time they increased the price. The usual yurosnoy doesn’t complain but throws a shitfit about the switch 2 costing 500€ with MKW bundled. The PS5PRO is like 800€ now.

Wow they really hitting that market cap hard.

Kojima fans

looking like absolute RETARDS

always has been lmao

04./03. [NSW] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe <RCE> (Nintendo) {2017.04.28} (¥5.980) - 6.295 / 6.323.630 (+12%)

how is mario kart 8 still selling so much?

It runs better on the switch 2 than on current gen westoid consoles.

Goddamn the glowies must have known this gangrape is imminent.

My favourite review of the first one was "Death Stranding is not a fun game. 10/10"

Twitter snoys literally got mad that gamecube got added to nso+ without any price increase. Meanwhile, the highest tier of ps+ is $140 in the us, and in some regions after the new price increases is up to as much as $220 a year.

You mean all those games that are half a decade old?

Meanwhile, the highest tier of ps+ is $140 in the us, and in some regions after the new price increases is up to as much as $220 a year.

Excuse me what. How the fuck aren’t people losing their minds over this?

it's a fun game and it just sells because you can play with family, friends and your loli neighbor.

World did not launch on PC.

it really feels the success of bombergirl despite it being a one-off game they probably thought wouldn't last long coming not that long after the castlevania PS360 games being GoW clones flopped buckbroke konami permanently into just sticking to japan-pandering AA and A games
ironically enough they are eternally vindicated in this descision after the shitshow that keeps happening around kojimbo
their only real mistake was firing iga and even that was only a half-mistake after the shitshow that was bloodstained, yes it was good but it doesn't make it's development any less of a mess

frog in a pot syndrome
sony has been doing stuff like this for 2 decades so another price hike doesn't phase them

Didn't Sony also remove 25 games from the higher PS+ tiers as well?

But they claim Nintendo is anti consumer and greedy

Despite the success domestically NDF is in shambles. What explains the state of the fanbase?

Against my better judgement, can I ask why the previous threads were being deleted and this one was okay?

uh, microsoftbros... what the fuck
for once i welcome our cheap but great storytelling gameplay-making overlords

He didn't say at launch.
World just had better legs than wilds

Has any game funded by kickstarter not ever gone off the rails with planning, development and time frames for when the game is coming out? Maybe Hollow Knight got out on time, can't think of much else.

Tried to find screenshots, and looks like I didn't saved them for some reason, shame
Guess I'll need to check my history

They removed bollywood dark farts.

Goddamn cowards.
It must have been a gut punch that of all things had far better production values than the literal shovelware they are padding the PiS5 exclusive wiki page with.

Either a mod stepping in to targwrangle or a janny shift change

They've raised the price TWICE I think in japan

twice this year alone
the total amount of price hikes in japan right now is 4, and they are suspecting another hike for summer vacations

PS+ went to full 600+ in Brazil

mininum wage is literally R$1518

most didn't even complained about it and Sony journalists brigade tried to brush it off like it was okay for them to raise it if they want to give a better service to players

the few crying over are also trying to say that Sony's only raising their subscription and new games price here because Nintendo did it first so it's Nintendo fault

it's unironically pretty laughable lol

only single janny sees famitsu threads as the problem, and he's not around right now
If you want to actually stop him, you need to complain to actual mods

Like a week before the Switch released we could see Mario Kart Wii charting again in some regions.

How the fuck aren’t people losing their minds over this?

Same reason why no one is complaining about the new doom physical copy requiring you to install the full game digitally on the xbox and playstation. It's only bad if nintendo does it

the total amount of price hikes in japan right now is 4, and they are suspecting another hike for summer vacations

Are they seriously going to make it a seasonal thing?!

Lmao I guess they must reslly like the guy
that keeps spamming TOTK hate threads.

tried DS at launch

got 10 hours in but dropped it as I didnt jive with it

5 years later grab DS Directors Cut and try out during a sale

played the entire game and enjoyed it a shitton

Did the directors cut really improve the game so much or did I just become more patient?

only if you only focus on hollow knight

It's THE dating sim game.

01./00. [NSW] Tokimeki Memorial: Forever with You Emotional # <SLG> (Konami) {2025.05.08} (¥6.000) - 21.032 / NEW

Based, but they should have made a remake/port for 2 as well. Its tokimemo 1 but better in pretty much every way. Mei best girl.

You're very sheltered.

He's lurking on Anon Babble as we speak.

"Dog Bites Man" vs. "Man Bites Dog" news phenomenon

yep
they removed another 5 like last month two but that one got literal radio silence from (((journos)))
same with the 120 dollaridoos TLOU rerelease but with a cuckmann thank you letter this time

Sony themselves de-listed it because it was getting niche traction as a way to mock them

There's a good reason why some Japanese say that you can buy a car with how expensive the PS5 Pro is over there.

What does this have to do with the innocuous 10 year tradition of posting sales data?

Mario got the Corona Virus

MARIO NOOOOOO

The cult like fanbase of sony here in Brazil is fucking insane

the leeks proved the higher ups are too busy ERPing on pisscord to give a shit about the site
this is why jannies have free reign and why the feedback page got removed after the downtime

Glad I saved a screenshot of the playstation store page for that

Shiori is canon.

you didn't need the "here in brazil" part

post it

Nintendo uses their stake in Famitsu to falsify the numbers. Sony can't use their much larger stake in Famitsu because Nintendo threatens them with their Yakuza henchmen. The Japanese government knows about all this but fears Nintendo will do to them what they did to Shinzo Abe.

A full car mind you.
Before the third price hike it was just "a small car", after it's the cost of a literal normal ass car.
And mind you normal ass cars are more expensive there due to parking space regulations tariffing companies which naturally pass the extra cost to the consumer.

it's probably the most beloved dating sim Japan ever got, with hundreds of references done in differents animes, mangas and games.
consider it the Dragon Quest of Dating Sims.
they already said that they plan to do that if this remake does well.

sony ponies actually believe this btw

Shiori is a BITCH

I wonder what their threshold for success is, not very high I would imagine.

We also have the cult of sony in Portugal. It’s retarded how people are so obsessed with sportsball.

Everyone think the new offices nintendo is building are to house the new dev teams nintendo has formed from saving devs who have lost their jobs over the years, but thats a lie. Its just a front for a launch silo so nintendo can hold Japan hostage with its nuclear missiles its collected from various broken arrow incidents around the world

sony should post their american sales numbers

I should buy that tokimemo game
I bet its pretty easy Japanese in it

It's fucking incredible how hypocritical Western video game fans are about Nintendo.
Like, every time Nintendo is about to release a new entry in one of their core franchises like Mario and Zelda, I always see the same "ugh, another one?" attitude.
No one else gets this much shit for having long-running franchises. I never see anyone complaining about a new Monster Hunter, a new GTA, a new FF. But Nintendo does a new MK and suddenly it's the end of the world.

You can get choose what greeting the girls will tell you.

consider it the Dragon Quest of Dating Sims.

It's even bigger than DQ now that DQ itself lost it's cultural relevance after only releasing a single mainline game in like a decade time total.

can they call me kuso ojisan?

They sometimes do, but its all in dishonest "revenue" metrics so they can pretend the 1 PS5 pro sale is more sales than the 3 switch sales

You mean all those games with beefier spec requirements than E33 that were running perfectly swell on Switch 2?

Yup, you get it, anon! :)

I want to run something by you guys. We have a repeat shitposter who is screaming that nantoka33 was a flop in japan. Using the alternate name to avoid search. 9.5k launch +3.5k physical seems like a great launch, for it's weight class in AA, and PS5 game sales are just mostly that bad. It of course goes nowhere near the AAA Cap or squeenix launches.

It's a AA game with no voiced japanese, a hard to pronounce name, a depressing story, and a teenage lead female that is not romancable. I expected it to do worse.

My bet was that it was botted mass reports. But who knows? Ask the mods yourself if you actually care.

youtube.com/watch?v=oBGq5vdRPEc

Konami is back.

That's all thanks to decades of journos being biased against Nintendo

Yes, you can even adjust the pronunciation, it was very advanced for the time.
The latest brand new Tokimemo games have all been those Girl's Side ones.

Been like this for decades really, there is a reason nintendo cut journalists out and went to telling fans directly about what they're doing

I expected it to do worse.

Reminder chinks are still importing the PiS5 and it's games.
There's a non-zero chance most of those sales are just chinks.

I wonder what their threshold for success is, not very high I would imagine.

I think it's a sliding scale. The better the sales, the more budget they give. Outsoruce vs in house.

Judero came out on time I think and was goty last year.

for it's weight class in AA

its an AAA game with nepo money behind it and the astroturfing budget to match
and it still flopped

Shovel Knight
Antonblast

It's even bigger than DQ now

What a fucking retard
Anon, boys side of tokimeki games died in 00s, after otaku market changed into losers who are afraid of any competition even inside of video games.
So first they removed fail conditions, and then sales dropped even harder(because why would you play date sim you can't fail) and then series died
Girl side survived way longer, but they literally repeated same mistakes in their latest girl side game(no fucking rivals in tokimeki, can you iamgine that) and so sales were bad too

I love the ones that always cry over this stuff but their PCs/phones are filled with every Nintendo emulator in existence.

I hope this success brings back the non homosexual brand back. Never understood why they dropped it like a sack of shit while they kept making the fujo ones non stop.

Shovel Knight

The 2B of indie crossovers

Stock wise, Konami is the best performing Japanese gaming publisher even better than Nintendo and Capcom. Sure it's not really best metric, but still

Heard these days that Persona series is a series which will focus their efforts to the western audience, but it will be different than what Square did with Final Fantasy, and will focus their efforts on maintaining their identity over gameplay and aesthetic.

Never understood why they dropped it like a sack of shit

Because you never were into series in the first place?

Konami has been one of the top publishers in Japan for years (mainly thanks to Momotaro)
Don't call it a comeback.

I think people got soured on the series after Tokimemo 3 was a disappointment and outdone by the competitors the series created.

The last third of this image always makes me physically upset.
The vita unironically did have the chance to not only compete with the 3DS, but also inevitably compete with the switch itself later down the line, with a vita 2 being able to dominate the timeframe the switch dominated instead.
The vita was already being able to run minimally downscaled PS3 games for fucks sake, a vita 2 would have been a PS4 lite but portable.
But no, israel kikes had to tell snoy to kill it instead.

Patapon pre-order up on the eshop

Still feels surreal lol.
You guys better buy it, I need her games on the Switch 2.

did the janny just give up?

let's make every choice you made ruled by RNG

What the fuck were they thinking

01./00. [NSW] Tokimeki Memorial: Forever with You Emotional # <SLG> (Konami) {2025.05.08} (¥6.000) - 21.032 / NEW

btw, Tokimemo remake released on PS5 too.

I'm glad Konami took the anti-Capcom route and dropped CV, MGS and SH and focused on games and IPs Japan likes.

Not that many publishers have IPs that are still somewhat relevant that go back the 80s.

Yea, ATLUS will keep shitting out their 1 million units sold games until it isn't enough anymore (SEGA already stated they expect P6 to sell 5 million units in the 12 months lol.)

I never got why GTA6 would cause a giant spike in console sales when everyone that wanted a PS5 or Xbox has had one for years. It won't even be a big win for Sony as it has to share it's sales with Xbox.

but it will be different than what Square did with Final Fantasy, and will focus their efforts on maintaining their identity over gameplay and aesthetic.

square promised the same with FF after crapcom ended up kiking both resident evil and evil dead back in the day
look how that turned out
except it may be worse this time due to segay unironically listening to the twitter goyim to the point they outright censor the original japanese to have no differences between the original and the trannylation

to be fair, dishonest games journos weren't just a nintendo problem, they would attack and give bad scores to any game series they arbitrarily felt had been "going on too long"

Wasn't tokimeki's problem that 2 came out at the tail end of the PS1's life, long after tokimeki 1 had started the dating sim trend and it ran its course, and 3 was a fucking shitshow of attempted crowd funding which gutted the budget and basically killed that game and buried the tokimeki brand?

waiting for Hot Shots Golf. Gravity Rush will happen and Nintendo sales success will make Bandai Namco to fund a 3rd game!

Eh, Vita was more of a souped up PS2 and when it came out PS4 was already launching soon after.
It had like 1/10 of Switch's power

because Nintendo did it first so it's Nintendo fault

And then when Nintendo follows the other two and does something like paid online, it's still Nintendo's fault.

its 10:30pm in india
they checked out their shift to go home and sleep

Is there a reason why GTA6 got delayed again? I heard someone said it's because they're making a switch 2 port but that's too funny to be true

SEGA already stated they expect P6 to sell 5 million units in the 12 months lol.

Don't know if it will reach that number in 12 months but since they're going to release it in at least 4 differents platforms, pretty sure it'll do a lot better than P5 did.

It won't even be a big win for Sony as it has to share it's sales with Xbox.

If the rumors are true it won't even be a snoy win, as they would have to share it with the switch 2.
There's a non zero chance snoy paid for a exclusivity contract that excludes the switch, and kikestar ends up saying "um akshually sweaty you never said anything about the switch 2 :)".

tick tock.jpg - 928x655, 481.91K

they were busy making Jason sexier to secure the chud and andrew tate audience

2 came out in 1999 and did alright, 3 which came out in 2001 on PS2 was a huge drop for the series considering that both the rerelease of 1 on Saturn and PS1 were fairly succesful then 4 did even worse than 3.

Well, if it launches on Switch 2 day and date...

They're scared of Mario Kart

I'm so hyped for Hot Shots Golf, I really hope the new devs deliver but there is no way Gravity Rush happens.

hold on what the fuck this thread is how i find out that nips pay for donkey kong at 40 usd and we’re stuck paying the games at 60?

Probably optimization and whatnot.

I fully buy into the theory that they are toning down the woke stuff

Graphicsfags complain about Nintendo having weak hardware for 20 years

Nintendo makes 1 (one) console that can somewhat keep up with their competion graphically while still having games

Graphicsfags have an aneurysm and cope like never before

Why are they upset? That's what they wanted Nintendo to do for years.

They are busy animating the gator's cloaca animation

Because not many companies cultivate and refine their IPs from rough gems to finely polished works of art like Nintendo does.

I very much doubt it when kike ideologies seep all the way down to the core of the games to ruin them by subversion.
The would have to basically redo the entire game from the ground up to remove the wokeslop properly.

Hmmm, publishers are apprehensive about the vita due to how trivial piracy was for the psp. What should we do to assuage their concerns?

"Proprietary memory cards that are sold for more than 5x the market price for similar sized memory cards!"

And that will help keep publishers from jumping ship?

"What? It'll make sure that even if people pirate on the vita, they still have to give us money!"

Can't imagine why it got nothing outside of completely sony-enslaved devs and ultra budget projects.

But they still can't compete with the brand power of Instant Pot.

It'll be great. Both the new Mario Golf and the old familiar golf on the same console.

I heard someone said it's because they're making a switch 2 port but that's too funny to be true

I FUCKING WISH LMAO

completely sony-enslaved devs and ultra budget projects.

you just covered 90% of the vidya industry lmfao

One thing that I'll always like about the vita over the switch and switch 2 is the fact that it had a separate pool of VRAM. Why didn't nintendo take that idea for their hardware will forever irritates me.

I think Rockstar is interested in Switch 2 judging by all their work on Switch (they even put RDR there before PC), but I doubt they'd delay GTA6 for it. They could be raking in money and port it to Switch 2 a few months later, or alongside the PC version

Jeet outsourcing needed to be manually gone back over by white people because it was looking like picrel

guitarhenk.jpg - 1034x1128, 113.38K

Favela Pig Status?

Literally a multistudio game with massive marketing campaign. I really wish people could just admit that they are shallow and get swooned by pretty visuals and the underdog narrative about the development.

Metaphor released on 4 different platforms and it only sold one million units

Persona 3 Reload released on 4 different platforms and it only sold one million units

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance released on 5 different platforms and it only sold 500k (We know that Switch led in JP, PS5 probably was the lead platform in the US.)

Persona 5 Tactica released on 5 different platforms and it bombed

It's also important to remember that P5 (PS3 and PS4) didn't even get to 5 million units. And it took the Switch and PC releases for Royal to reach 4M as of 2023. ATLUS is the master of adding up spin-offs and re-release to prop-up numbers; i.e., "Shin Megami Tensei V Series selling 1.6m units" to hide that Vengeance fucking flopped.

dev hell, in the sense that they are now competing with rdr2 for open world interactivity and they can't find new features that aren't "press X to do a cinematic"

Metaphor released on 4 different platforms and it only sold one million units

Not even that, they coped with "shipments" rather than "sales", unless they actually reached a million after a month which was when I stopped following news about that flop.

The vita unironically did have the chance to not only compete with the 3DS, but also inevitably compete with the switch itself later down the line,

It didn't
If you actually gave a fuck about news back then, memory cards weren't a problem
Problem was sony wanting to release top tier console level games on vita, while devs couldn't understand why should they.
Even fucking sonyfag like Nomura said it best when explained why he made kh game for 3ds and not vita

if you're going for console-quality graphics, why not just skip the Vita's portable gaming compromises and develop on a console to begin with?

Japanese games prices are all over the place. They aren't as standarized as in the west.

Goyjin pay more so the only country that matters has cheaper prices of the only console that matters.

after the ds's current rash of tamagotchis, graphical chat rooms, and minigame collections, i wonder what sort of preposterous gaming rubbish will be left to dredge up and repackage. love testers? pachislot? hentai dating sims? the mind reels. and after a brief period of reorientation, gets backs to lusting after a psp, as the healthy mind must.

What is it with them and their sexual fixation on console wars?

We don't know. Considering what happened with the GTA remakes, they could be fixing shit. Considering the big, woke bombs, they could be fixhing shit. Considering tarrifs, they could be looking for a strategic launch point. They could be making too much money on GTA5 and don't want to shut that off too soon. They could be pushing for some sort of platform specific benefits. I doubt they're going to release on switch.

Nintendo haters need something to be mad about, anon

You guys better buy it,

Why would I give sony money for their shitty and old shovelware?

b-but I played them as kid!

Yeah and you will always be a snoygger overhyping bottom of the barrel ps first party.

seconding this
i have too much kikeslop fatigue to fork over money on anything less than something that specifically panders to me, and likely am not alone in thinking this
its not even about the money at this point, it's about having principles
not like im starved for games either, my backlog feels like it will last me the rest of my life

Shovel Knight did get delayed by almost a year after its planned launch, but that still puts it in the upper tier of kickstarter launches.

And as usual, mobile completely mogs consoles.

Post a fake chart that was made to shill Chinese games

Fuck off chink

not persona.

worst persona demake.

not persona.

retarded spin off.

Raidou game will probably bomb like those too since besides being the Raidou game, it's not a MAIN mainline Persona game.

This needs to be updated

I'm not really a big fan of patapon but this series is better than any of the slop sony has made this past decade

Post a fake chart that was made to shill Chinese games

Nikke will be released in China next week. if the game does well there the chink multiplier will be gone by next month

07./11. [PS5] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 <RPG> (Kepler Interactive) {2025.04.24} (¥6.727) - 3.254 / 13.079 (+28%)

(+28%)

It's rising again.
I swear if this was on Switch2 we'd be seeing a huge hit.

1746849348.jpg - 1920x1080, 1.14M

gachatards spending thousands of dollars on microtransactions not even for new content but to get higher damage numbers which aren't even pay to win since you can beat all the games challenges with what you get for free

>Post a fake chart that was made to shill Chinese games

what's funny is they can barely even compete even with galactic number fuckery
from what i saw on the Anon Babblegachagayming pisscord the multipliers finally reached x10 for chinkslop, x0.3 for jp stuff and gooks are starting to be nerfed by x0.6 due to nikke too
even with those numbers, even by having HSR and LaD revnue be combined from all servers, and even by splitting up pokemon TCG and explicitly not adding the JP and CN servers to the count, they still barely edge out a "win"
not only that but they have to explicitly avoid adding the IM@S games because they utterly rape even HSR despite being japan exclusive, even with the number fuckery they still end up winning over HSR

nah they will just not add the CN server to the count just like they already excluded the JP server from the pokemon revenue

snoygger overhyping bottom of the barrel ps first party

I wouldn't imagine there's significant overlap between snoyggers and fans of Japan Studio games. There is literally no demographic more likely to shit on Japan Studio games or unpromptedly justify their closure than a modern PlayStation fan.
Patapon 1 and 2 are both very good but that's neither here nor there.

So they should be, even I'M scared of Mariokart

it's a rather complicated topic because there's also surprisingly little overlap between PS japan studio fans and unironic otaku
even then if you count ironic weebs the only real overlap is gravity rush and that's kind of it
the venn diagram between "otaku that are into jp media", "ironic weebs", "japan studio fans" and "modern snoy" is like a chain of circles instead of a proper venn diagram with exceptions that you can likely count with a single hand, especially after the kikefication of playstastion with the PiS5

It's over

Nintendo won

This should be the new thing to shitpost about, similar to the 'Nintendo delayed TOTK to avoid Elden Ring' thing from a few years ago.

"i-it doesn't count!!!!!!!!!!!"

lmao not surprised.

At the end of November 2022, it was reported that the Persona 5 series had achieved 8.3 million units sold—both physical and digital—worldwide. This includes the following P5 related games: Persona 5!, Persona 5 Royal!, Persona 5 Strikers!, and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

personacentral.com/persona-5-series-sales-9-million/

But sure, Persona 6, on its own, in 365 days, will total sell-through 5 million units at a MSRP of $70/$80 on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series and Steam.

Not that anon and as a fellow anon who thinks gacha is a plague its no secret that gacha dominates the gaming industry. China almost came out with a bill banning gacha from China last year and not only did the bill make the news world over but Tencent? Was it? One of the big companies ended up losing over two billion over night in stock because if China banned it it would turn the rest of the world against its nasty practices. So much money is in gacha however that even the CCP bent the knee and killed the bill the following week and the person who made the bill stepped down and most likely also got killed.

Nobody had the balls like Doom Eternal.

Fat

gacha dominates the gaming industry

Dominated.
Past tense, especially now that hoyoslop collapsed.

And even then they still need to obfuscate the numbers so that China ends up on top.

on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series and Steam.

yep, actual retard

That actually worked in MS/Bethesda favor with the retarded Animal Crossing/Doom memes that was posted those games came out, similar to Barbenheimer.

If my toaster PC can run it, the Switch 2 most certainly can.
The game is actually rather well optimized and low spec friendly if you settle for 30fps and low settings.

RUDE!!

82077532_p1.jpg - 2480x3507, 467.4K

Haven't paid attention since Ganguro and socks glue was a thing. What's the difference between regular otaku and ironic ones? As in game choice? They all look like a bunch of nerds to me.

The backlash Tropical Freeze got from journos still hurts.

I'm excited as hell for Prime 4 but damn, we're probably never getting another 2D DK from Retro.

if the game does well there the chink multiplier will be gone by next month

Last time Nikke topped the chart, they shut down the whole website for a month. They would rather do that again than remove the multiplier for Chinese games because, without it they would be nowhere near the top
I doubt Nikke will do well in China but if somehow it did they will just not include that version until the revenue is low enough for the other homo games they shill to top it like they did with Pokemon TCG

revenues are a bad metrics, a gatcha company doesn't make the same % of profits from their revenues as a console or even PC game.

Your froglop kike propaganda game runs at 30fps on console resolution on integrated graphics that are the AMD equivalent of trying to use older intel i3 integrated graphics kids used to play minecraft back in the day.
youtube.com/watch?v=39OOxhONlW4
Jump to more acceptable, but still old as shit, mid-tier chips like the 5600g and that integrated graphics chip is enough for running the game at 720p and rock solid 30fps.
And an actual modern chip like the 8700g? It basically runs the game better than the PiS5 does.

I'm still kind of floored at how Square Enix in their latest quarterly report, doubled down yet again on investing even further into AAA at the expense of AA.
What the fuck???

So why couldn't Reload get past at the very least 2.5 million units on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series and Steam? "Doesn't count" funnily enough doesn't count.

literal sabotage from blackrock shareholders if you somehow haven't noticed yet

don't expect a lot out of square anon, they're going to go bankrupt again. they're too set in their ways

Because a number of their big AA pushes ate shit. There's also something about "restructuring their approach". If that kicks out the fucks who thought forespoken was a good idea from the decision making process, it's going to be a net positive.

Who's bailing SE out this time? Nintendo?

Past tense, especially now that hoyoslop collapsed.

Hoyoslops never made anything remotely close to the top dogs in China and they're not that popular in Japan. You see some of them in the top 5 in that chart from Reddit only because it multiplies every Chinese gacha game revenue by x3

SE will always make the worst decision you can imagine.

Oh, our AAA games are underperforming? That must be because we didn't throw enough money at them. Cancel our AA projects, and redirect all the money to the struggling vanity projects! What could go wrong?

A reminder that these fuckers almost bankrupted themselves twice and were saved by last minute strokes of luck both times.

only because it multiplies every Chinese gacha game revenue by x3

by x10 at this point due to the pokemon rape

Tencent

As someone who never had a Playstation, only ever Nintendo/PC, I would frequently swap my console with a friend to play PS2 and later 360 games that I otherwise would miss out on. Japan Studio titles are some of the more memorable to me, being far more unique than the majority of other games.
The studio closure was disappointing to me not because I was expecting to play more of their games but because they demonstrated more things that games could do and actually attempted to show it's worth putting some budget into those weird titles. Even if something like The Last Guardian wasn't the must have system seller with a yearly franchise to pump out, it was actually memorable and one of the games synonymous with the console. Getting something to be remembered like that doesn't happen by chance but they threw it away.
So I welcome Patapon for defying what fate it's old masters left.

Did you see Kingdom Hearts screenshot? The game looks like the usual slop they make
Square will never be good again until they drop the realistic art style and go back to creating anime games, which is never ever

That actually worked in MS/Bethesda favor with the retarded Animal Crossing/Doom memes

I wish we had more of that instead of retards competing which game sold better

thats so soulless it looks like any rando on jewtube making one of those NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN UEslop showcases

how did they suck the soul out kingdom hearts

Following the timeline of Disney movies it's actually on point
You start with stylized cartoons that are beautiful and memorable. Jump to modern films where those same stories are retold with a stale modern view, replacing art with actors where realism clashes horribly with fantasy.
KH4 is modern Disney.

Never doubt the ability of Japanese 3rd parties to be completely and abjectly retarded.
See also; Sega, Capcom, Konami, etc.

Because a number of their big AA pushes ate shit.

They made more money than their AAA games though.

Weren't they going to focus more on AA?

KH4 has Disney worlds

they're all worlds from previous games, but now they're based on the live action versions (and nobody comments on this)

They could always make a new Tomb Raider...
Oh hang on I meant Deus Ex...
No wait fuck, Legacy of Kain?
Maybe they'll actually put some budget into the next Just Cause, they haven't sold off that series. I think.

Unfortunately I believe it's going to be the reality for KH4.

If I understand their strategy, the idea is to take the people making good AA and put them on the AAAs. Of course they might just be retarded.

If we get live action snow white, I'm finna keyblade some punks.

They were. But they 180d the moment they got a new president. Which was some time ago already. The new guy has like tripled down on AAA already.

i was a massive KHnigger back in the day and i stopped giving a shit after KH3 failed to give the closure it promised after a decade of waiting

Is that president the same one that moved their HQ because a fortune teller told them to and wasted about millions in the process?

Of course they might just be retarded.

That's the only correct assumption to make when talking about SE.

the idea is to take the people making good AA and put them on the AAAs. Of course they might just be retarded.

They are retarded, they don't hire the AA teams, they fire them and replace those slots with outsourced jeets.
Look at the fate of the mana series despite selling surprisingly well for what they were.

the switch 2's biggest competition is the switch 1

what the fuck is happening

I've genuinely never heard a single thing about kh3. I've never played any game in the series, but I know half the plot of the main 2 and plenty about random spinoffs that sold a couple 100k each, but despite "selling" (shipping) 7 million, I haven't gotten a single detail about kh3 through sheer cultural osmosis.

Switch – 29.710 (35.666.567)

PlayStation 5 – 8.615 (6.833.479)

I thought fate of mana turned out to be the chinese trying to steal Squenix techniques and IP.

Switch – 29.710 (35.666.567)

PlayStation 5 – 8.615 (6.833.479).

Both microsoft and snoy killed themselves trying to chase the gwaphix dragon to please fickle normalfags.
Now the popularity of vidya as a normalfag thing has run it's course, the bubble popped, now things are going to go back to vidya being a niche thing for nerds.
The only ones that survive are nintendo because they managed to make vidya a normafag thing for everyone in japan because surprise, it's easy to sell vidya games to a market that didn't happily eat literal decades of "you MUST play LE MATURE niggerpill propaganda because it's LE REALISTIC" trash trying to subvert literally any positive messaging to push kike agendas.

Are you an actual janny, or just larping?

larping duh

Fair enough.

I wish there was an accurate data set for European countries

doesn't surprise me
the first 2 hours of the game are basically nothing but trying to cram as many memberberries down your throat as humanly possible to the point its actually fucking obnoxious
from there on it's that one avengers endgame EVERYONE IS HERE scene from the climax but extended into a 10 or so hour game, it gets especially retarded near the ending where the final fight of ultimate destiny turns out to be a drawn out nearly 4 hour long mess of constant miniboss fights that constantly get interrupted for the next miniboss fight
only to end in sequelbait anyway instead of giving proper closure
that people simply mentally deleted this trash from their memory is completely fucking unsurprising

I've never met a jjk fan who wasn't some variety of literal faggot.

Expedition 33 is the highest selling home console game

But Anon Babble said it flopped in Japan.

When there's no retards shitting up the thread people are just having fun discussing games and the future of the Japanese market

Who would've thunk?

AAA is similar to a mofia in which if AA gets a win AAA does a driveby and tries to kill AA.

palworld got a win, nintendo assfucks them

balatro gots a win, age-rating system assfucks them

schedule 1 got a win, every drug simulator on steam assfucks them

do you wanna go all in on the team that can do the assfucking or the team that will get assfucked?

Anon, there are six more home console games above it.

Stupid bait

or a literal indian funnily enough

All I see is mobileslop

JJK

dark

How the fuck is it dark?

even if you cope with "akshually the switch is not a home console so switch exclusives don't count", minecraft and tokimeki are still above it

No way they'd be able to release it in the west.

daily reminder that yamauchi said that square enix is retarded and gay, and they will destroy themselves in the long run

Genshin isn't on there though.

Tokimeki Memorial came out on PS5 too

random deaths and violence = le mature and deep (*unlike kiddy stuff where nobody dies amirite my fellow adults?)

this has been the thought process of westoid goyim since at least the PS2 era on all entertainment mediums

Yeah, E33 is pretty simple isn't it.

palworld got a win, nintendo assfucks them

That's because they stole shit from Nintendo, plenty of pokemon clones already exist, and they're even allowed on Nintendo systems. They just didn't steal stuff.

Daily reminder the only retarded ones are the westaboo ones drinking kike semen, aka crapcom, segay and kike enix.
Also konami hardly deserves to get called retarded for carrying multiple dead genres on their backs like a fucking atlas titan despite being a humble AA company.

Oof Tokimeki used to sell millions on PlayStation. The Japanese market is dead, look at all those old ass games.
It makes Nintendo decision to prop up Japanese Switch 2 sales by overcharging everyone else even more insane.

You don't understand... it's a shonen... but there's blood in it... I've never seen anything except mha... so this is revolutionary... to me...

Why don't they includes iPhone sales?

trannyshin gachapact isn't there.

only snoy is dead, lmao

Nobody actually talks about sales data it's just shitposting, just sticky the thread on Thursdays and lock it, if someone wants to discuss a specific sales topic then make a separate thread about it

Palworld would definitely have gotten away with it if they hadn't gotten so successful.

muh palworld

Why should i care about some shitstain game from a shitstain dev who proudly boasts that he doesnt know what he's doing, so he just steals from nintendo?
One of their monsters is literally just a black lucario

most games steal from most games, AAA steals from AAA all the time and they don't fight each other because it would be to costly and cause to much of a shit storm. Ever wonder why we never get new call of duty clones? its because blizzard has that patent locked yet riot made one, blizzard will not go against riot because of what I said above meanwhile if you made valarant in your basement blizzard would be knee deep in your asshole

more importantly, they are actually small indie projects and even more importantly don't actively taunt nintendo at literally every step of the way after getting millions from both chinks and snoy

Every single thing on this list is 1000x more blatant than ANYTHING in palworld

Funny how that head dev went to a seminar by nintendo on game design, and then had a meltdown because they said you should be original.
He is literally everything the internet used to pretend to hate.

No. That guy who spams shit about BG3 said it was, and that he had his first few threads deleted, and isn't using the shitty article that got his thread deleted is the one who said it flopped. It briefly sold out physically in japan and has a decent review rating. It's however a niche game, and just staying on the famitsu charts for a while is the best it can hope for.. It's not going to do super sales. It will comfortably make budget with plenty to spare.

I've never seen anything except mha

Worse, the average goyim calling JJK dark and deep doesn't even watch anime, they just think they watch anime from seeing so many memes about anime being nothing but cute girl SoL series.

Tokimeki 20k

That's unfortunate.
I know it's a remake, but it's the quintessential dating sim and hugely known in Japan. You would think it would sell 100k at least, or something close to that. Maybe galge outside of mobile platforms is dead..

Why exactly am I supposed to give a shit about this?

palworld would of gotten away with it if palworld and nintendo both didnt wherent in japan

if they hadn't gotten so successful.

Maybe, maybe not. A lot of developers hate them for blatantly stealing from other games but they didn't patent their work and it's not like they knew what a patent was anyway.
Basically, if it wasn't Nintendo it would have eventually been someone else.

it got basically zero marketing even in japan anon
it also got released literally less than a month before the switch 2 releases

looks like this thread is staying up
i guess reposting deleted threads numerous times is winning behavior

Who the fuck would even think that snouted bat from DQ looks ANYTHING like Golbat?

Their boyfriend Gojo died

You should care because it's not nintendo and nintendo is le evil corporation

There's not a single similar design here, meanwhile, over in Palworld.

Desperate snoys trying to attack nintendo.

This kills the macaco

Was he beheaded?

Palworld flew too close to the sun really. That Sony was trying to bank on that only made it worse.

You would think it would sell 100k at least

Why?
Nu japanese otaku market is no different than Anon Babble in this regard
They would rather commit sudoku than play game where they aren't guaranteed to get a girl
Just like Anon Babble would have collective meltdown if they actually played bg2 and learned that best girls aren't virgins

the anti-tendies are back and they're shilling their chinkslop again

There goes our comfy thread

no, he got cut in half horizontally at the abdomen
he did get literal brain damage during the fight tho

He was cut in half and it was the only good moment from that hack-ass manga. Thankfully the popularity of JJK helped CHADjin X go under the radar and prevented normalfags from latching on to it.

meant for

Just like Anon Babble would have collective meltdown if they actually played bg2 and learned that best girls aren't virgins

The real comedy is westoids happily being cucks to please their kike overlords.

Well, that's the kicker. That image was made years ago to ridicule idiots who said Pokemon stole designs from DQ. Anyone looking at it sees that despite being based on the same animals the actual designs are completely different.
Paltards are just so retarded they took it at face value.

Its even worse because they're just based on the same REAL animal, and they have simplistic designs.

Which doesnt apply to palworld, because they're stealing mons that are based on fictional/non existant creatures with highly stylized designs

Oh, and theres also the fact that the ceo got caught telling his designers to steal pokemon designs, flat out.

Lame

Nah, they have way too much of a hateboner for mha (not to defend the series) in a way you only see when kids reflexively hate barney to an absurd degree because they've outgrown it and are self conscious about having used to enjoy it.

Alright, anons! Prediction time.

How long will it take for the Nintendo Switch 2 to pass up the PS5's LTD sales in Japan?

PS5 is currently at 6.833.479 units sold.

t9gddl.jpg - 234x235, 25.34K

was made years ago to ridicule idiots who said Pokemon stole designs from DQ.

years ago

It was made last year

Two days

I never fully looked at this shitpost before but the more I scrutinize it, the more retarded it gets.

You think those numbers are okay?! There are too many Switches in Japan for the best selling game to only sell 21k.

Third parties need to wake up, the reality no one Microsoft is making money with Nintendo

A year at worst, 6 months probably.

the reality no one Microsoft is making money with Nintendo

ESL

it'll take them a year to even make that many switch 2 and send it to japan
it's not about demand over there, it's about supply

Pretty much the only thing stopping the switch 2 from beating the PiS5 day fucking one is chip production factories being the bottleneck.

more DVD players = more DVD sales of niche movies

This is literally how retarded this point is. The audience for niche products always has an upper limit regardless of install base.

than ANYTHING in palworld

Palworld is literally using Pokemon models. that's why Nintendo is after them
they thought the game wouldn't be popular and get away with it like every other game they created

Depends how long it takes them to get 6.833.480 units available in Japan

Jamboree really did well, holy shit

Their problem was stealing from Nintendo and then trying to taunt them as well. You don't see someone stealing from call of duty and taunting activison Also the fact, Pal directly stole models from pokemon too, which is a step worse than a rip off

which part of the "worst persona" you didn't get? no one besides old gays and trannies like that shit.
you're also comparing a "remake" with a brand new game while ignoring that Persona 6 clearly will be released on Switch 2 too. you even said that P5 only reached the 4 million mark thanks to Switch sales. Funny enough P3R and Metaphor skipped the Switch and couldn't reach that too. Something that P6 will not do since it'll release at day one on the new system that will be selling the most in the entire world.

depends on how fast they can produce them.
We already know 3 million japs tried peordering one, and nintendo said thats way over what they have available right now

Between year one and two.

Actually they opened up the second round of lotteries and 70% of everyone who asked got in, so they managed to reserve more.

pre order lottery at 2 million+

1 year. 1 and half at most.

"Persona 3 Reload doesn't count because it just doesn't count"

And which part of "Doesn't count" doesn't count you didn't get? I accept your concession though, faggot.

4-12 months depending on the amount of supply Nintendo can get into the country, pre-orders are already at >4 million.

Gokiburis hate this one trick

Persona was heavily diluted in the last few years, I'm not sure it has the same impact anymore.

There's already 4 millionish preorders there, if Nintendo make enough switch 2s available then easily doable by the holiday season

You think Paltards could actually create something original? lmao

pdq.png - 1237x380, 173.05K

I-I said it doesn't count so it doesn't count!!!!

le muh I accept your concession quote

whatever helps you sleep at night, retard.

Persona 6 clearly will be released on Switch 2 too

really depends on how busy are the sega tardwranglers are that week to stop the faglus snoyim tendencies

We at least know mainline team is fully on board since SMTV sold gangbusters (compared to the other games in the series, that is.)

he thinks he will bait me into entertaining his "the only new mainline persona game since p5 couldn't sell past 1 million because it's a demake only liked by old gays and trannies but p6 totally will quintuple that amount on the same platforms with ease" cope

I was looking forward to it until we knew it was a MP focus game.

wow that is some crazy lore
anti-nintendo schizo have long grudges

We at least know mainline team is fully on board since SMTV sold gangbusters

Tf does Creative Department 1st Production (SMT team)'s game selling gangbusters has to do with P-Studio being on board to support the Switch 2?

You said fatlus, as far as I know fatlus isn't only p team, that's all

Faglus probably knows their slop is going to flop and will likely not release on the switch 2 day 1, instead they will delay the switch release then blame the poor numbers on that to justify themselves.

Half of these aren't even the same animal

People honestly think the Switch 2 will do bad especially after Sony's is gonna hike their console price...again.

At this point it's basically tradition for them to duct tape other people’s ideas together and call it “innovative.” They saw Pokémon make billions and said “what if we did that but with Fortnite menus?”

I'm still kinda interested. It'll be interesting to see whether their focus on multiplayer means something will change in the standard Fromsoft multiplayer mechanics.

Metaphor is bound to get a Definitive version close to the Switch2 launch, right?
