Hey, if dragon's dogma sold well on switch, maybe now we can expect Devil May Cry 5 switch edition !
(lol)
(lol)
Regardless of carts taking more time to manufacture, market research from their last few Switch games would make it apparent that having stock parity between the two versions would've been a solid outcome instead of what is repeating again now. Which is worse because it's a shortage during a pandemic.
Game had pretty much stock parity at launch. Initial sell-through was very high for both versions.
The difference was in the restock speed.
I have to hand it to the late Revolsin. They thought 2M was doable, and I doubted it. It sure looks like MHGU is going to do 2M. Amazing performance, being a late port of a deluxe edition of a spin-off that furthermore looks distinctly like a 3DS.
Those other sales are amazing as well, Capcom is garnering some incredible sales despite awful effort.
It's a sight to behold but I can't help but wonder if we will ever see a game sell like this in Japan again. It really is the perfect storm.Post GW update:
- Factoring March digital, Animal Crossing: New Horizons outsold New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Monster Hunter Freedom 3
- Next target is Pokémon Ruby/Saphire
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf and 6m should be reached by the end of June
- All-time record in sight !
I think I'll keep this format:

If the worldwide digital share for ACNH is 50% it's absolutely crazy to me for Japan's to be... what was it, 20%?
if that's true, then rest of the world digital share is insaaaane
edit: it would be about 70% if my math is right

ニンテンドーｅショップ新作入荷情報 5/15（金）号！ 先週の売れ筋 TOP10もご紹介。 | トピックス | Nintendo
ニンテンドーｅショップで配信される新作ソフトの情報をお知らせする「ニンテンドーｅショップ新作入荷情報」！ 今回は、5/9（土）～5/15（金）に配信された新作ソフト情報と、先週ニンtopics.nintendo.co.jp
Filled with anger and resentment towards Nintendo who killed it with NSO, Splatoon 2 has risen from the grave and murdered ACNH in broad daylight. Could've become best-selling game ever in Japan, such a shame.
do they really? their inability to deliver any projects in a timely manner is really concerning now.
I think it's just a deduction from the financial report. Nintendo reported 890k shipped at the end of March, while Famitsu was counting 745k sold as of Week 13. These last two week's sales reports are enough to put it over 1 million, even with fair sized margin of error.
Since 890k were shipped by March, the difference is MyNintendoStore units, or retailers are doing lotteries just because and their warehouses are full. lol
S-E haven't learnt a damn thing since the 3DS era. It's remarkable how they JUST KEEP under-shipping their games; and then they whine about not selling enough.
It's just self-sabotage at this point.
It's just self-sabotage at this point.
Wondering which 3rd Party from Japan will show up on the PS event.

Vouchers really did their thing:
- Smash went from ~15% untracked sales as of March 2019 to ~30% during FY19
- Mario Party: ~19% ---> ~36%
- Splatoon: ~12% ---> ~25%
- Mario Kart: ~13% ---> ~35%
- Zelda: ~19% ---> ~39%
The digital ratio for Nintendo games basically doubled after the introduction of vouchers.
Yeah Mario Party and Mario Kart definitely benefited from that – although Mario Party did see the return of the Joy Con bundle which evens things out a bit. Did Zelda, Splatoon and Smash get some too?

At least we would have clarity on that topic then. I'm personally so sick of not exactly knowing how Capcom wants to treat the Switch in terms of MH releases. I don't even care anymore on which platform it ends up as long as I get the info, lol.
OP
OP
New year's promotion had these games
But how about BotW? That's like the only game I never see on sale at least compared to MK8D and SMP.
Is it the exception here
Edit: 19% -> 39% is a lot, I think this is why there is a big difference in sell thru vs shipments
User Banned (1 Week) - platform wars, antagonising another member
If Capcom is a part of PS5 event, I want MatrixMan to come explain why games "take time to make" for Switch, but the same logic doesn't apply to Sony. He'll probably blabber about how PlayStation is a strong brand and blah blah sales support next-gen year 1 support while ignoring that Capcom games sold millions on previous Nintendo handhelds. He's been simping for Capcom for far too long. I wonder how long will MatrixMan use that excuse...maybe even after Switch's successor comes out?
Cross gen games
I don't think we'll get full-blown next gen exclusive at that event (except maybe SFVI).
I think that's a bit uncalled for. I've definitely disagreed with him in the past but he's good people, and hasn't done anything wrong.
Attack the points, not the people. The idea that third parties just needed time has been quite thoroughly disproven on its own merits.
Nah. It's not like he's never been passive-aggressive toward others. You might like him, but I don't. Calling him out for the points he made is pretty tame compared to people here mocking Kerotan and laughing as he got banned. People are multi-faceted. They might have been nice to you, and you might view him more positively. But he's always been like "I told you so" and "you guys don't understand how business works" a lot of times when it comes to Capcom. I don't like that self-righteous and condescending attitude. "Good" really depends on your perception. For example, you can think I'm a terrible person for calling him out because you like him as a person more and I'm fine with that. It's all about your perception.
Got it. Even still, the digital share for outside Japan would have to be well over 50%, pretty remarkable
With a current 30% digital ratio, Animal Crossing would be already over 6 millions.
Weird post - at least tag the person if you wanna call someone out.
Regardless of what was said or implied , plans change all the time.
Blaming users for the decisions of massive cooperation doesnt make alot of sense - especially since all he has been repeating was what Capcom themselves said when they were asked about Switch support in 2017.
Personally i still think MH Switch is happening and might have been already revealed if it wasnt CV19 - but time will tell.

Digital ratio drops over time, overal it would be 20-25% by now since there aren't supply problems.

I feel like that is potentially too high for Yo-Kai Watch Y. I can see it struggling to reach 100K on Switch, and much less on PS4.
If they manage to get it before Obon and the game is reasonably priced, I could see it doing that.
YW4 did 350k+ on Switch alone iirc.
