Here is the link to the staff's communication from the last Media Create thread:

www.resetera.com

Media Create Sales: Week 36, 2021 (Sep 06 - Sep 12) [Read STAFF POST] Sales

Hey everyone, I've been reading the Era thread and all the feedback. I've asked the team for a chance to speak on my own behalf because I'm crushed by how this has kept escalating, and I don't want to see it keep going in that direction. I love this site and community, I love the sales thread...

Not the same but it's not intended to be. Hopefully mods are fine with the new Media Create site (whenever it happens) to shared here.

Surprised Bang Dream has sold out so well when it's just a full priced version of a gacha game that still has gacha in it (though no microtransactions).

Yeah I forgot about the numbers after all that stuff. Great to see some fresh numbers. Now where are my graphs.

Wario Ware is digital heavy imo. It's doing decent numbers. I think it will have decent legs and reach 500k. Arise is doing decent numbers but dissapointing in the grand scheme of things. Playstation and third parties have lost it's power over Japan.

I've been transparent about my qualms with how the community has been handled all week, but I am resolute in repeating that I will remain to see the community through.

Because if all goes well you're gonna see a lot of shit flinging about OLED sales and Metroid Dread in three weeks.

Because if all goes well you're gonna see a lot of shit flinging about Metroid Dread in two weeks.
It really does bring up the question whether Metroid Dread will bump the regional sales in Japan more so than we expect. I'll be keenly watching this unfold in the next 2 to 3 weeks.

Because after 2 weeks, and the first sale is posted, the most important numbers coming in is the 3rd week from now.

Arise hold is better than I thought it would be. It's still showing the decline that started post Xillia, but at least it is a small bleed. What do we think digital sales for Japan look like?

To be clear, after someone linked the Gematsu article, I just grabbed the info from there. It didn't take long at all, there just has to be someone to do it.

I don't think anyone can replace Chris who was doing much more than that, but since this much information is available and the interest had been expressed, I thought posting a thread was appopriate.

We would need a new Sales Genius Era representative to consistently post MC / Famitsu sales on a weekly basis from now. I welcome anyone who can take up the mantle.

Worth for the thread that Tsukihime shipments are at 240k.



Around 70k should be from digital .

The thread is much appreciated. It'd be great if sales threads could once again be healthy places to share observations about what's happening in the market while leaving room for a range of opinions.

Arise drop is okay, could be worse considering the type of game it is.

Are they phasing out the older Switch models in favor of keeping the OLED version when it's out?

Yeah this game will sell for a while. After what looked like a underwhelming opening, sales will turn out to be a very decent for this game.

BOTW and Splatoon 2 recently announced physical packs of the base game + DLC on the Nintendo Direct yesterday. That will add to overall sales.
 
Oct 25, 2017
604
Two weeks of Arise sales: 184,444(PS4) + 56,913(PS5) = 241,357
Two weeks of Berseria sales: 90,704(PS3) + 186,869(PS4) = 277,573

So, yeah, first two weeks sales of the PS4 version of both games are almost the same. It is the additional sales from the other platform that dropped. Of course, this is just physical sales.
