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.”

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)

spam bot is up again

the guy who made the bot much be SEETHING after all those companies announced switch 2 ports

Armored Core VI sucked 700k dicks In Japan.

ARMORED CORE VI achieved a minor success with over 700,000 dicks sucked in Japan. Digital dick sucking was also included

Armored Core VI Japan physical sales plummet to only 25%

Japs just straight up don't give a fuck about western games anymore. Pretty based

Also hey, he found the thread.

>[NSW] The Battle Cats Unite! (Ponos, 12/03/20) – 1,116 (338,820)

Meow meow mother fuckers

anymore

they've not cared for a while

The Switch 1 is on its last legs and yet it’s still outselling the PS5 1/4. I honestly don’t even understand how that makes any sense.

nintendo lies as per usual

reminder that sony owns a higher percentage of stock in the company that own famitsu than nintendo does

Proof?

nintendo owns famitsu

Kadokawa owns famitsu
and this is the list of companies that have the most stock in the company

nintendo owns sony group, which is different from their gaming division

I know things are bad for sony but I didn't know they've crashed so hard that nintendo just took over sony

[NSW] Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe (Nintendo, 02/24/23) – 1,051 (606,391)

[NSW] Kirby and the Forgotten Land (Nintendo, 03/25/22) – 1,050 (1,203,467)

Nice.

nintendo owns sony group

What am I reading.

ring fit still in the top 30

hope nintendo makes a ring fit 2

Show proof that they own Sony Group, then

those sales numbers

the pro isn't going to even break 1 million units unless sony pulls out some extreme bullshitting of their numbers

I don't want to alarm anybody but the two SKUs of the new Fantasy Life game are both 1st and 2nd place on the eShop.

Sort of random question, but I was discussing the wiiu launch vs the switch launch with a (notably younger) friend of mine. I said that part of the reason for the wiiu's failure was that the wii's audience comoletely moved on, and interest in the wii was largely dead by the end of its life. In contrast, I think the switch has maintained interest with its audience much better than the wii did, which will help with the switch 2. However, they were insistent that the wii "was still hot" at the end of its life. Which one of us is misremembering history here?

*switch 2 launch, dammit

Xenoshit flopped

KEKAROO!!!

Hmmake your bets, how many threads will we have during the Switch 2 week?
Last time we had a lot was Rebirth's launch week, there were like 8 threads iirc lol

Where's that image of Nintendo owning the illuminati?

Fatal Fury where?

No wonder the snoys have been crashing out so hard recently.

Time to move on, anon.

Already out of the top 30

Holy fucking flop

It might have a chance to at least not be a giga bomb if SNK ports it to switch 2 near launch window

Perosnally i just hope they port KoF XV

Capcom might be a lot of things but it is the only developer that truly never left Nintendo, ever since NES the only console I can think Capcom snubbed was the Virtual boy.

They didn't even ported UM kofs despite rereleasing those on PS4 and smash wank.

SF6 would eat its lunch lol. Nintendo has been pushing really hard for it.

Speaking of Capcom, I hope they port RE4R soon.

N64 sorta, it only had what Mega Man 64 and RE2?

Yeah only had DASH and RE2, is still far more than its contemporaries Like SE and ATLUS.

I think the game's fortunes have already been decided.

lol, how would you explain their sega and playstation exclusives?

Pretty sure TOTK outsold it a while ago and it keeps popping up every now and then.

SF2 was the best selling console game in a long ass time for capcom, till RE5 and Monhun surpassed, but still hold the title for a single platform.

Nintendo still is quite proud of it.

Explain what? I never said that Capcom was exclusive, I said that Capcom despite everything it always supported Nintendo Consoles one way or another.

Nothing to do with exclusives.

I'm pretty sure those must have some exclusivity deals,.especially 2002

Otherwise how the hell do.they port 13 but not 98? (And i really wanted that one too,.it'd complement the usf2 in my shelf nicely)

While i don't doubt sf6 would kill it head to head, releasing it a Few moths later during a free period might get them some sales which is better than nothing at this point

I think Gatou's fucked yeah, but sometimes sticking to a promised schedule and expanding can pay dividends

Look at sf5 to sf6, i doubt SF6 would have its current level of acceptance if capcom had dropped SFv after the 2nd season despite the shit sales

nintendo's hardware and software sales will never make sense, is the average jap literally just buying a switch and playing one game

these numbers for the PS5 keeps getting less and less
when does Sony call it quits for japan?

Where is GOTY 2024 Astrobot?

That was fast. Now watch as everyone will pretend they never cared about it and that it didn't have an insane shilling campaign

Might pick it up if it comes to Switch 2.

How pozzed is this game?

Watch all the shilling disappear the second they announce it lmao

disgusting tendie general

Damn! And the schizo was already preparing the spambot posting.

Never forget.

Karma always finds a way.

It's kinda weird to think we're looking at the last few weeks of the Switch.

isn't the switch 1 still getting games well into 2026? I think nintendo is keeping it alive for at least one more year

Even with piracy damaging sales more, Nintendo isn't going to drop the Switch instantly like they did with the DS when the 3DS came out. I expect at least another year or two of support from Nintendo.

does anyone have that chart of all the PS5 games that will save Sony in japan? what's the next game on the list? kingdom hearts 4?

It's not dying yet. Doug Bowser confirmed nintendo is going to continue providing games (mostly HD ports) for S1 owners, I mean they already have some games planned to release next year like tomodachi life and rhythm heaven

thats not really true.
if you check japan steam charts they got quite a bit of westslop up there with very high player numbers too.
apex as an example has been dominating.

these threads arent that accurate for game sales anymore because a lot shifted to digital.
they are accurate for hardware sales though.

I will show you where I have made my home while preparing to bring fun. Then I will break you.

Your precious multiplats, gratefully accepted. We will need it, for our new console.

Even with piracy damaging sales

Enough with this excuse

It happened with Persona 5, it happened with Elden Ring and they're going to eventually stop shilling for E33 when it gets a switch 2 port. The only game they have left is GTA6

where's the shilling for death stranding 2 or marathon?

You know, Monster Hubter Wilds really is gonna be the last win in Japan for Sony in a very long time lol.
They really have nothing now, games like the sequel to GoT or KH4 will do okayish but nothing crazy.
Switch 2 has Japan all by itself. Not even the original Switch had it this easy.

Say this when piracy is wide spread.

I don't see how this surprises anyone. Switch2 will continue to be an indie console of choice for many. Especially if they keep their pc prices

Diablo 3 got ported with extra stuff, I wonder if blizzard going do again with D4.

i hope so, it's going to be the only version that doesn't require an always online connection. and maybe it'll even have lan support like D3 did on the switch.

Also DMC port, Capcom can release DMC 4&5 Nero Duology with extra coop mode like DMC3 Switch Edition, especially 4SE with all the playable character is perfect for multiplayer.

Would be neat. Hoping to make a Necromancer with skelly army.

Doomposters BTFO as always
Nintendo won

I genuinely hope this game gets a switch 2 port asap to see retards in this board stop shilling it and claim the game wasn't good anyway

Xeno X still hanging there

Nice

Have you noticed the constant doomposting about the switch 2 outside of Anon Babble? It’s hilarious.

[NSW] The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy (Aniplex, 04/24/25) – 1,367 (30,481)

kodakabros...

He already said the game is doing great

outside of Anon Babble? I don't use social media much, are there such hatred for the switch 2 already among the normies?

Dunno about normies, but there's certainly people trying to farm the price of the Switch 2 games for clicks.

oh right, those weirdos going around screaming "90 dollars for games!! FUCK NINTENDO!!"

I see Japan misses when fighting games were good

Does deltarune count

week so slow that we see sub 1k games sold on the list

ps5 still only gets 3 games in

lole
Also WTF why would Exit 8 of all things need a physical version? I know it was a streamer meme for a week but damn.

One false assumption is always that Wii users moved on to phones. When they actually moved on to ps3 and ps4.

Yes, all the people that bought a Wii for Wii Sports and Wii Fit bought a PS3 and PS4, you fucking dumbass.

nepobaby multistudio game with massmarketing

"indie"

It's basically that or your game doesn't sell shit. For every successful indie, there's a ton of dead ones.

Lmao, and thus another cope dies

It never ceases to amaze me just how deep on their knees Japan is for Nintenslop. Like for fucks sake get some taste.

maybe you should try making some games they'd want, then?

wow I like videogames

let me get a cheap bluerayplayer to play all the mainstream ones people shill to me since my wii got 0 of them

It's not ricket science.

It isn't.

Preorders are reportedly below 750k GLOBALLY

Panic behind the scenes

Holy shit, this is actually worse than the wiiu. I guess a lot of preorders got cancelled when they found out about 360p, so it might be even lower than that by now. Dont be surprised when Nintendo lowers their forecast.....again

Proof?

This but eurogroids buying every yearly FIFA update and amerimutts buying the yearly CoD games.

No proof!

Not videogames. Fuck off.

So it's just a false flag then.

I don't think it's possible to be more wrong than this. No one gave a shit about Blu-ray, the casuals buying the Wii didn't like video games, they were just getting in on a fad, and the PS3 and PS4 had no games.

uh oh the schizo is awake and already shitting up the thread and seething about nintendo

False

360p in fucking 2025

You buying this shit?

Mental illness

The switch 2’s screen is 1080p.

Hey, get ready to suck dog dicks niggy

[PS5] DOOM: The Dark Ages (Bethesda Softworks, 05/15/25) – 1,319 (New)

And people swore up and down that "Japan loves DOOM" back in the rosterfaggin' days.

All of PS5 combined couldn't clear Switch LITE in its twilight days

That's fucking grim.

Wasnt there a source for japanese digital sales in some Famitsu magazines?
Feels like that+physical numbers would paint a way better picture for japan sales.
I'd assume that a significant chunk of Switch games are sold digitally now. And there's Steam growing in japan too.
Capcom said last years sales were 90% digital for them.

So why do you have multiple trips and randomly swap between them?
Don't like being held to account?
Can't hold a conversation without pretending others agree?

When Famitsu puts out yearly reports they do digital estimations (which are very shaky).
For Switch at least, Nintendo does sales breakdown per region, so you can take total sales in Japan for some game and by comparing it to Famitsu numbers you get digital sales.

Capcom said last years sales were 90% digital for them.

That includes 30 years worth of old games and DLC which are all digital.

I'd assume that a significant chunk of Switch games are sold digitally now.

Yeah probably but not for the reason you think. Physical games always sell more than their digital counterparts however there are more digital only games than physical games so it skews the numbers.

Too anti-Nintendo, had to be deleted

WTF, I DON'T HATE THIS GAME ANYMORE

Reminder that Minecraft is better than BOTW wnd OOT put together.

You're supposed to hate it now.

The thing is that the ones who were lured in by Wii Sports only left pretty eary as the 'fad' died down so it was the usual Nintendo diehards that remained by the midway point. Comparing the early period when every family wanted the console just for Wii Sports and the latter half when it was actual game players will of course make it seem like the console fell off a cliff.

Who cares about turn based snoozeslop? Tendies wont be playing Monster Hunter Wilds

forgetting the GOAT with the fucking awesome OST

Will you also claim it was always shit when it inevitably gets announced for Switch 2?

NINTENDO IS BAD, BECAUSE... BECAUSE THEY OWN SONY

We're reaching levels of mindbreak that shouldn't be possible.

Furukawa forced Sony to waste money on TLoU multiplayer, Concord, Marathon and Fairgames

How did he get away with it?

Forced them to make Astro Bot just so the developers can praise Mario instead at the Game Awards.

Delightfully Devilish
