I'm kinda surprised that a port of a three year old Mario Kart game is beating BotW.

>>381325118
Almost 40k for ARMS is about what I expected. I wonder how much they've saved up for Splatoon 2.

Switch is now 9K away from 1M units in Japan

>>381325334
Zelda has always been relatively "Meh" in Japan

>>381325350
I think ARMS boost was just 40K cause they decided to keep saving stock for Splatoon.

I expect back to 25K next week

>>381325118
what made zelda go up 15% in sales?

Arms is the new splatoon?

Not quite, Splatoon opened up over 140K. Just wait though. In five weeks we'll have the first numbers for Splatoon 2. It's going to be ridiculous.

>>381325364
HOLY SHIT, 3DS 2.0? With massive supply issues no less.

>>381325118
>100k
is that a lot for Japan?

>>381325708
Just 9k more and Arms would have had a better opening week than Tekken 7 and Street Fighter V combined.

>>381326041
that thin is over 500K on pre-orders alone

for comparison ARMS had about 60K pre-orders

Do the sales make the game any better?

Tekken 7 technically came out two years ago in Japan.

>>381326181
Splatoon 2 could open at 700k on an install base of 1 million.

>>381326113
For a new IP with not much content to it with totally new characters and a weird fighting game of all things?
I think is fantastic

Well, they have to buy some games for their new console. There really isn't that much to pick from until late 2017/early 2018

>>381326519
What matters is staying power though. DQ is 30 years old.

>>381326519
Yup. Splatoon was already huge, all it needed was to be sold on a handheld. It's popular with tons of people in Japan, kids, adults, teenagers. All Nintendo needs to do now is keep updating it and release new content.

>>381326519
Same thing happened with MH. Series did good for a home console game in Japan, but really exploded in popularity when it came to a handheld.

>>381325925
wai wait wait wait wait wait wait WAIT

Are you telling me the switch is about to surpass the lifetime sales of PS4 in Japan?
Am I reading that correctly?

>>381325118
delte this

>>381326829
Unless you have stocks in Nintendo, why do you care?

>>381326647
Splatoon has plenty of staying power. It's on a market Nintendo has a monopoly on, it's unlike other shooting games and it has tons of replayability. Splatoon is the new Smash/Mario Kart in popularity. Have no doubt it'll sell over 10 million.

>>381326901
Is that a yes or a no.

>>381326829
This is just the first yearish of sales for all consoles. Give it a year and it'll get there though, the only thing holding it back is a severely supply shortage.

>>381326829
No. It will take a year to pass the PS4 LTD in Japan, and that's if Nintendo can stock enough of them.

Those charts basically show how fast each system took to reach 1 million.

>>381326945
Probably, who knows. Do the math.

>>381326113
it's above average but it's not particularly amazing

>>381326829
uh no
PS4 is at around 4 million right now in japan

>>381326829
Still a long way to go, but if Nintendo can keep a steady supply of stock and meet demand, they can pass the PS4 lifetime sales by the end of the year.

>>381326181
A BAG OF DICKS AND CROW

>>381325925

Why does this chart seem incomplete? Shouldn't the data for WiiU and 3DS be longer than the PS4 one? Why weren't those numbers tracked?

>>381326901
So he can shitpost

>>381326181
Splatoon only has so much appeal in Japan due to heavy handed advertising and their ad-version to shooters that aren't made for literal kids.

If they actually played shooters, they would know Splatoon is bottom of the barrel.

>>381327086
It's the race to 1 million.

>>381326580
splatoon memecritics is artificially low thanks to shit like the toronto sun giving it a red score for "no voice chat" and obviously not even playing the game at all0

Are there even that many Switch's

>>381326181

Nintendo has to be holding back Switch units in Japan just for Splatoon 2, right?

>>381327123
wow, that niggah seems quite upset

>>381327123
Nah. I have a GTX 1080 and couldn't care less about shooting games except Splatoon anymore.

>>381327180
They were shipping 50k a week before Golden Week, since then it dropped in half. I expect at least 150k to be available.

>>381327180
Difficult to say, it's honestly looking like they simply get their manufacturers to make more

>>381326569
soon on ios

>>381325364
More than anything else this tells me just how shit console sales in Japan really are.

>>381327156

Ah ok, that is interesting to see what Japan buys over the rest of the world. Handhelds absolutely dominate looking at the 3DS sales but it is about to be overtaken by PS4 worldwide in contrast even though out for much longer. Also interesting to see how fast the WiiU made it to 1m there but is dead already. Doesn't Nintendo make money off the WiiU because it is not sold at a loss? Why did they kill it off?

How do we stop the WoOmY?

>>381327176
There were, but Nintendo is having manufacturing problems thanks to Apple.

>>381326580

Admit it, aside from Nintenpigs in japan, Switch is dying off.

>>381327569
Demand for them was pretty much satisfied after the first month, the Switch is still completely sold out every single week. Every week the Japanese line up for a lottery ticket for a chance to buy one, the numbers dropped because they're holding back.

Nice

>>381325334
Mario Kart has a lot more replayablity, plus the Switch is made for local multiplayer.

It's like a system designed for Monster Hunter. (Which makes Capcom screwing Nintendo all the more confusing.)

>>381327993
Especially with Capcom killing Monhan by putting it on a console.

>>381327123
Titanfall 2 is quite popular in Japan. Rainbow Six Siege is also getting attention. They're broadening their horizons as more marketing on western games is making their way over there. I admire Splatoon for being different, and offering something foreign to a genre that has been over-saturated to hell and gone.

>>381327993
They also have Animal Crossing.

Ok, thanks for proving my point?

It's sold out everywhere. PS4 uses very old components because it's outdated ;)

>>381326829
No that'll take another year
It'll happen, but not with the supply constraints from Apple having that NAND monopoly in preparation for the iphone 8.

It's probably a good thing for Nintendo that Pokemon isn't coming until 2019, since it gives time to actually fix the supply constraint issues.

>>381328270
Doubt it'll have them. ARMS has no longevity and people will quickly regret it.

I say this as a Switch owner btw.
Bought ARMS on day 1 and sold it on ebay 2 days later cause I'm a moron who got caught up in the mr. yabuki hype

>>381327986

nobody has numbers what "sharp" decline you are refering to?

>>381327926
Because it's sold out everywhere and they can't stock enough due to Apple gobblinnb up all the phone parts. Iphone 7 is out in spetember, once Apple is done with the bulk of it Switch avalaibility will soar.

>>381327739
>>381327926
>>381328220
Nigger you realize Switch is still selling 250-300k units a month in the US right?
They can't make any switches faster than that because of the NAND issue that everyone but apple is facing right now. So any month that the PS4 can go over 300k it's going to be first place no matter what.

That'll probably change sometime next year since the iphone 8 is expected to release at the end of this year in October, so supply constraint issues should be settled by January or February, which is unfortunate since Nintendo will be severely constrained for black friday.

>>381325118
Based Wintendo does it again

>>381328469
No it doesn't. The Wii U was down to 50k a few months after release. The Switch is still around 200k, even if it did come in slightly behind the PS4.

Good lord, it came to me again imagining just how many Switches will be pushed when a mainline Pokemon game comes around. Not only sales in Japan, but all over the world.

Why doesn't Nintendo just make their own factory to produce those rare parts they need more of to make more Switches?

>>381328449
It has 700k pre-orders
I definitely expect 1million week 1 sales (or close to), and 2 million sales by one month after release.
It's going to be like Twilight Princess on the wii in the US, or hell even BOTW on the switch in the US, where people buy a copy just to have it when they can finally get their hands on the thing.

>>381328701
Because setting a factory for high tech components like these would take close to a year and cost a very large amount of money, and by the time that it's out and producing the parts the shortage should be over already.

It's really a case of bad timing and Apple just being that powerful

Jesus

>>381328976
Your image is shit but the answer is supply shortages.

>>381328701
Because that would be a ridiculous cost that would never pay off if they only made their own stuff.
Right now it's just bad timing. The Switch uses a lot of components in the latest generation of phones which is why they're affected by this.
It will stop being an issue once iphone 8 dies down since the Switch will continue to use those parts

>>381328976
Splatoon 2 is out next month. If they WANTED to kill the switch they had to do it before.
Now it's impossible for Nintendo not to control japan (especially with confirmed pokemon on the way). It's over

>>381329050
I can sense your butthurt pony of Sony.

>>381329147
Ok this is really hard, let me tell you how this goes:


Imagine Sony is selling apples. They have 100 apples on the shelves and people buy 50 apples.

Now imagine Nintendo is selling bananas. They have supply issues and can only put 40 bananas on the shelves. All 40 bananas are sold.

As you can see, Sony sold more than Nintendo. And as you can see, Nintendo is doing very well because clearly they can't even satisfy the demand yet.

>Switch is sold out everywhere
>people can still buy them in high numbers in japan
You can't have both. Aside from Japan, Switch hype died off and people are going back to PS4.

>>381329147
it's sold out everywhere. It's the only place it's winning right now because sony and xbox are bigger outside of japan.

It's not complex anon

So the Switch went from 600k to 1 million since the first month. A 66% increase from the worldwide sales would put it slightly over 4.5 million now.

FOOD

ANALOGIES

>>381329319
lol, look at this retard and laugh

>>381329156
More like they're crying tears of joy.
How is it that people do not remember any generation of Monster Hunter before 4?
Monster Hunter (new generation) comes out console only (1/2 on PS2, 3 on Wii)
The Monster Hunter Portable (gen) comes out for portable only (1/2/3 on psp), with the G expansion coming out on portable only (1/2 on psp, 3 on 3DS). Portable 3rd and 3G on PS3 and Wii U are anomalies.

Monster Hunter Portable World will be Switch exclusive, MAYBE on PS4 if World does well enough on it. Portable World G will also be Switch exclusive.

We'll say it's sold out a year from now because it will be

That's what happens when everyone wants the greatest console ever made

>>381329896
What's wrong with stating facts?
It DOES have supply issues.

It's been 3 months and you still can't really find a normal Switch for sale on amazon.com or in Japan.

Even amazon.de (Germany) barely has neon ones available right now that take 4 weeks to ship though.

>>381329896
>A year from now, will people insist its sold out everywhere?
Well, they said Pokemon is coming out next year, sooooo

>>381330001

>>381329896
Has it really been that long since the Wii's shortages?

>>381330085
I wouldn't expect it out next year. My guess would be Q4 2019, since it takes 3 years or so for Game Freak to put out a Pokemon game.

>>381329479

Their strategy is to give it a market everywhere else. Judging by that twitter post about it being the most tweeted E3 game, it is working. Everyone is saying they are shitting the bed with Japan but fail to understand that worldwide is what matters. If they can secure it has a franchise to look for on multiplat and PC, they would have vindicated their choice. Contrary to what Japan and /v/ thinks, not everyone wants to deal with a handheld. As a MH fan, my most HATED aspect of the series is the tiny handheld screen and holding the uncomfortable things for long sessions with my friends.

>>381329836
It was badly advertised. Many people thought at first that it was a tablet for the Wii and with many parents who don't care about videogames being one of the main audiences (as they buy it for their kids) it sold like shit.
Meanwhile, the switch has a simple video with a really easy to understand gimmick and its clearly a new system. With a new Zelda to kick it off in the west it has all it needs for Nintendo to make it a success.

Same goes for every European Amazon or webshop that's selling for MSRP. The only place where you'll consistently see normally priced Switches is shitholes like Poland or Sweden.

A bold strategy considering so far 90% of all MH sales are from Japan. Abandoning the handheld audience there will cost Capcom a LOT of sales.

Can they make up for them and get even more out of an increased interest in the west?
We'll see, that's the gamble.

However, knowing what kind of games the average xboner and ps4 guy buy... it's not looking good. Even Bloodborne did badly and that is a lot less niche.
And on PC people will buy off of g2s or wait for 10 bucks steam sales

>>381329896
You know I was just in target the other day picking up groceries
Then I was in best buy getting my Dad a gift I had to work all of fathers day so I took him out to dinner yesterday
Then I was in walmart killing time before I met up with some friends in the area to go out

And you know what? No Switches. I made sure to check just because you little faggots say if you look you can find them, yet 3 for 3, no fucking switches available.
Stop deluding yourself, the Switch is sold out.

>>381330217
Historically it did horribly on consoles. And where is the most tweeted shit coming from? If you go back and check MHworld never hit trending while shit like Mario and GoW did iirc

>>381330203
It's what the guy said in the video. He said it might not release for a year, so 2018 would be my guess. Like late 2018.

You'd either play it in handheld mode or with a pro controller or joycon controller. Never with just the joycon.

Switch hype is already faltering. In my area you couldn't find a Switch anywhere. Two weeks ago every place that wasn't Gamestop had Switches on shelves. Switches that are still there.

I don't think it'll sell on PS4, maybe a million units at best in the west but probably not even that in Japan.
I'm just saying they're following the pattern they did before. Monster Hunter 4 would have been Wii U exclusive if the Wii U actually sold well in Japan.

>>381330851
anon lets kiss

>>381330384

Can you really say that after seeing a series like Souls blow up in the West? BB was not multiplat and even then it sold like 3m lifetime WITHOUT the Souls name. It is not like MH fans in Japan will abandon the series with MHW. From what I gather with Japanese youtube videos, they like it a lot. Even if a good amount of them don't pick it up, you have MH fans in the west like me and my friends who are tired of having to pick up a handheld to play it and will get it on consoles AND PC when it releases.

>>381330680
Here where I live (not burgerland) I bought my Switch this Saturday only because I managed to reserve it from a week of anticipation, also it was the last one on the store.

>>381330720
Generally I would agree but I think the Switch will be an exception to the rule. I think Nintendo might be pushing for an earlier Pokemon to really push Switch. I guess it depends on what their schedule is. They have a lot of franchises so it's hard to keep track of everything. We still don't know what Retro is up to.

arms has a good first week, sure, but it will drop by 90% next week for sure, maybe only 80% if your lucky. Only reason it sold this first week was because it was Switch's first new game after Zelda and Mario Kart (both wii poo ports too)

>>381327180
Hold back nothing. They literally can't make any more Switch than neccessary since one of their components is also being used by Apple in their products.

>>381330825

So far my area has been a good thermometer for games interest. When the WiiU launched you couldn't find one for two months. Then it was like WiiU tornado went through and there were piles of em everywhere. When PS4 and Xbone launched, you couldn't find either for a month. Then more and more Xbones started piling on shelves while PS4s were still hard to find. Hell my one Walmart just started being able to reliably keep PS4s on shelves like two months ago.

Switches are beginning to pile up at about the rate Xbones did. Nowhere near as bad as the WiiU was.

>>381330928
DS didn't EXPLODE, it maybe pulls three million. The Japanese handheld audience buys a game full of PS2 tier and recycled assets at full price every year. That's not even remotely a worthwhile trade.
>It is not like MH fans in Japan will abandon the series with MHW
Yeah they will. World might be the fourth game to reach one million on console this gen, but it won't do more than that.

>>381331000
The only possible earlier pokemon would have been Ultra Sun and Moon since it would basically just be an upscaled port with new features.
This is a new game. We'll see it at the end of next year or start of 2019, and it'll come out October. They need time to make new pokemon, port the existing models (which are fortunately high res already so they don't need to do many improvements), create a new region, write a new story, etc.
Pokemon has 2 teams, the main team and the spin off team. The main team creates a new gen, then gets straight to work on the next. The spin off team takes the engine from the new gen and makes spin offs from it, such as sequels and remakes.

I'm just butthurt that we'll be getting the D/P remakes on Switch instead of the B/W remakes. I really don't want a chance for Nintendo to go back to low power handhelds for gen 9 and see worst gen be on the good console and best gen be on a low powered handheld.

Knowing Apple, it was probably planned. They would rather buy up all the components, even if they don't actually need it, and hoard it rather than let anyone else have it.

>>381331253
Only as far as holding some units back for big releases go, because otherwise retards like you would just laugh at how sales didn't go up for some big release.

They're probably doing the same in the US for black Friday, holding back a few thousand units each week. Could you imagine the media shit storm if, on Black Friday, the Switch only sold its normal 75kish units that week in the US because they didn't hold back any units?

MHW was made for the west, period. Capcom is not going to abandon the handheld, case in point is the Switch release of XX. Once they are over with it the XX team will move on to another project for the handheld, the whole question is whether or not the west is part of the plan.

For all we know Capcom might give up localizing the handheld games and just push for the Ps4/Xbox/PC instead, whatever makes the most money.

That's the reason i believe the thing about internal strife at Capcom. MHW seems a blatant attempt to go for the wester $$$, but if it fails ( and it could very much do so) then they'll lose a shitload of goodwill from their #1 market. If i was a drone workign at capcom i could get pissed when the big boss go for a longshot to try and squeeze some extra money that could hurt my job if it flops.

>>381331829
Yea they're probably considering it.
If Apple keeps NAND on lockdown through September I anticipate they'll do that in order to not miss out on black Friday, and just fix any switches that fuck up because of it for free (it won't be many but some will)

PS4 isn't being buttfucked by Apple having priority access to parts the Switch needs right now. You can't exactly say it's 'bad timing', because it's a fault of the Switch for using parts that are being released in the newest generation of phones (which means it's just going to be a problem this year for the most part), but it is an issue with Apple having access to it right now.

>>381332218

Uh, isn't the head of MH the son of the CEO? If anything, it is the MH team that wanted to do MHW and stop rehashing shit for over a decade because that can't be fucking fulfilling to stagnate your growth as a developer by NEVER EVER taking risks or doing anything new.

>>381332092
Because they arent?
Weve had sales threads every week for many years now

>>381332218
As long as Japan gets a 5th gen MH game on Switch, I don't think they will lose any goodwill there.

MHXX not being localized seems to a poisoned discussion of the franchise. Shitting on Capcom for that is perfectly fair, they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. But concern about the health of the franchise in Japan is overblown.

>>381332369
It is, but only for Ps4 on release date, then PC a few months later.

They are not going as full force as they are doing it for the West because its a game centered at seeking the atention of the west first and foremost. There is also the fact that Monster Hunter games sell by themselves in Japan because the game is already huge as it is.

>>381332450
Metroid doesn't have cute girls.
It only has a very sexy girl, but the more of sexy samus you see, the less of the suit you see, which makes Metroid worse.
This is the conundrum of Metroid for Japan.

>>381332450
No it couldn't. Metroidvania games have been done to death. People have done clones/remakes/re-imagining of the formula for decades. It doesn't need marketing, it needs actual innovation, to do something new. It is its own worst enemy right now.

>>381325118

>>381332771
For a new IP? Not at all.

>>381332751
For Japan yes, I agree. I don't think there's any chance it passes 500k units in Japan (which would still be very well for the series there).
But for the west it could go upwards of 5 million if they market it well. They have a chance to make this the best selling Metroid of all time if they give it the attention BOTW got.

>>381332329
>>381332302

There are 60m of those fucking things out there already. Even the fabled Wii of the previous gen only sold 100m lifetime. The others sold 85m. If anything, PS4 should be on a huge decline due to how many people already have the fucking things but they barely reduced their sales forecast for this fiscal year over the last one (18m rather than 22m). The thing still sells like crazy. Can you even fucking imagine a console that can honestly hit 100m units sold before their 6th year?

>>381333042
>100k is shit
No, for Japan it really isn't. I think you're confusing how well games do in Japan.
Very few franchises there go over a million sold lifetime.

>>381332432
I'd rather not, I like handhelds too much. If it was only PC I probably wouldn't play games anymore

I'm not the same guy that you were debating with. But if you can say the Switch got beat by PS4 due to shortages, you can argue the PS4 isn't selling as well as it could due to the fact that it is the 4th year it is out and there's 60m units out there. You guys are also the same ones that admit Nintendo holds back units to time for software releases so they CAN sell more in the earlier weeks/months but they chose to explicitly not to.

>Hey Nintendo, do the thing you've been doing at E3 for the past couple years

>>381333368
We only have numbers between release and the 31st of March which was nearly 3m

Yes.

>>381333368
100 millions

>>381333368
Give me one month and I'll tell you how well they've sold up to June 31st.

So are Japanese people going to kill each other when Splatoon 2 comes out? They already have to have Raffles to buy the thing.

Good thing Nintendo didn't try to launch animal crossing in the first year either. I remember the game selling so ridiculously well in Japan alone.

>>381333435
Not significantly more, just a few thousand a week. If you're really so concerned about fair comparisons, just go back and check the weekly sales

>>381333179
who says it won't be innovative in some fashion?

>>381328869
>DIGITAL
You can add 22k more

>>381333567
Might even be why they didn't do it
>if the switch is selling out through the year anyway, why make AC now? Let's announce it next year

>>381333435
PS4 only sold because both Nintendo and Microsoft fucked up so hard. Selling the way it did without any competition was easy.

What after?

>>381333440
they already have a lot of info to give at E3

Personally i'd see it more in october, as a way to advertise and drive up sales for the holidays.

>>381333516
In Japan, again, no it's really not.
Only established IPs go over 100k opening in Japan.
And Splatoon, the biggest anomaly in new franchises ever.

>>381333516
No

>>381333042
Linking posts without reading them is very stupid.

>>381333646
But they got pokemon next year. At this point we'll never get AC

screen this.

>>381333587
How? What can they add that hasn't already been done (and actually a fun mechanic) by its numerous metroidvania clones?

>>381333652
Smash or Mario Kart 9. But it'll keep selling out if the software is there. I think the real test begins when Super Mario Odyssey comes out. By then Switch will have Zelda, Splatoon 2, Mario. That's 3 must play titles.

>>381333652

Metroid is unpopular in Japan, especially the Prime titles

>>381326181
I swear to god if Nintendo fucks this up and ships 40-50k switches on the week of release like they did for arms they are fucking braindead

>ARMS still the best selling vidya on Amazon

Pleasantly surprised that it's doing well. Really fun game and can tell that it has a lot of passion behind it. Looking forward to the future updates

>>381328153
Monster Hunter Portable series is still on the Switch

>>381333887
Why did you post a picture of Saitama?

>>381332092
Someone seems to have forgotten the years of Wii U shitposting

I sure hope japanese devs start jumping in a bit more, specially JRPGs. Franchises that made the 3ds like SMT, Bravely Default, Layton, etc. need to come back to the Switch. Level-5 keeps teasing stuff for the Switch in its interviews, SE and Atlus teased Octopath Traveller and SMT HD and nothing else since. We need more, MORE.

>>381333320
Didnt they actually open a twitter account for their e-sports games recently?

>>381334029
They've been saving units for a while now so that's not happening. Nintendo well aware how popular Splatoon is.

>>381334004
I thought we were talking about worldwide.
Maybe a waifu emblem?

Oh, shit. ARMS is out? I guess I should get that.

How is it? I played the test for about 10 minutes so it just seems like a slower Pokken so far.

>>381333887
Why did you post a picture of Daiz?
