Massive fw for SoS, we'll see if word of mouth will kill it tho, apparently the game's qa is under fire?
Legit good numbers for the five

It is in short supply in the US for 12 consecutive month now.
Plus, they are clearly holding a lot of units for the Monster Hunter launch.
Switch has been selling a lot for a while. That and covid would catch up for a while, I guess. Even with a mature production line.
Ah I had quickly checked Amazon US and saw it was in stock, didn't realize it's not shipping until April. So technically not in stock, yeah.
What type of launch is expected for MH?
It's crazy to think that as good as sales have been, they could be even better if they could produce more.
Thanks for the graphs as always! Just a minor thing, but your Total 2020 for week 6 and after is off by 1.000. It should be 742.456. This has also an effect on the differences from there on.

200k seems the bare minimum. It could be higher, Chris mentionned around 100k MH bundle being shipped for launch.
Thought Switch HW supply would be better this week. Still great numbers, pf course. PS5 HW finally picking up, nice to see.
As for SW, impressive SoS debut. Way over my prediction, and I think I was one of the most optimistic in here. On the other hand, I overpredicted the 3-week tally of SM3DW, but it's posting awesome numbers. Finally, my BDII debut prediction was spot on.

Wouldnt expect too many HW outliers on Switch with MH Rise coming up. Gotta have some consoles saved up for that launch.
Wow, bizarrely big opening for Story of Seasons! 200k+ without digital is phenomenal. Now let's hope Marvelous can keep the damage to a minimum by quickly releasing a patch.
Bravely Default II sales are in line with my expectations. Good result. Hopefully the second week sales will be a bit better than Octopath Traveler thanks to quick new supply.

Yeah, Story of Seasons way overperformed everyone's expectations. Almost certainly an outright franchise record once digital sales are factored in, and even with the negative WoM I can easily see it setting a franchise record for physical copies before the end of the month.
Island of Happiness on DS sold over 300k (according to Famitsu). Pioneers of Olive Town will easily get there, but it's not quite there yet.
Admittedly I expected higher sales for Bravely Default II. What should we expect Square Enix expectations are?
Right, I wasn't sure how to navigate this Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon debacle, so I stuck to games called Story of Seasons. Are they the same franchise?
Regardless, 300k will be hit relatively quickly as well I think.
Yes, the distinction is solely in the West, it's always been Bokujō Monogatari in Japan.
Did not think of a Switch HW increase tbh.
Only 4 more weeks until MH:R numbers, what do we expect first week?

We might have a new entry in the top 30 for the PS5. That game would only need a 4,5% weekly attach-rate.
Prediction for SoS will be a bloodbath, highest one was 165k and most were sub 100k.
Bravely was overpredicted a bit and so was Mario
At least the PS5 is doing more decently hardware wise
Edit : I was happy for Momotaro's perfromance(becuase franchises suddenly blwoing up is nice) but ever since i saw that...caricature in a screenshot ive been watever about it. Cant beleive Japan still does that

Wasn't there talk of the Yakuza 7 re-release selling a couple thousand copies in the tail end of the last thread? That probably would be enough.
That's a bad opening for BD2 imo but not surprising
There seemed to be no hype around it. People were down on the demo.
Also I was very surprised the team revealed their next game in Triangle Strategy before BD2 even came out
I'll clarify it's not terrible or the end of the world or anything. But we've seem so many franchises have improvements over the 3DS entries.

I was expecting 100k for BD 2 after hearing from last week, feels like there was no marketing at all, but the WoM is pretty strong so I'll pray for good legs.
If you compare to Octopath, they went pretty hype for the HD-2D thing.
EDIT : wouldn't be surprised to hear it having stock issue, considering it's Square Enix, even with that first week.

Checking my predictions: 75k for Story of Seasons, 150k for Bravely Default. Couldn't have gotten it more wrong. Predicting 500k for Mario was also wrong, but less wrong.
I see, thanks. So the problem is once again stock for a Square title? I wondered if they undershipped again.
If that's the case then I guess we can expect higher digital sales due to being out of stock and it would also seem that it exceeded expectations.
my predictions:
[NSW] Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (17 days) - 444.000 (very close)
[NSW] Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town (4 days) - 91.000 ( I wanted to change it immediately after writing it to 120-130k but still not close )
[NSW] Bravely Default II (3 days) - 117.000 stock :(

It's climbing steadily the eshop ranking since release, around 7th at release day 6th a couple days ago and now 4th
Yep, Story of Seasons developed by Marvelous is the same franchise as Harvest Moon.
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness on DS did 304,660; then we had Harvest Moon: A New Beginning at 264,042 and Harvest Moon: Linking the New World at 259,111.
Those Story of Season numbers are crazy. Given that the digital version is cheaper the number could be way higher.
How often does the ranking update?
different genre so can't really compare the two. bandori is rhythm game, utapri is vn/adv
Huh, what do you know. I guess it's only the mobile game that's a rhythm game.
