Video Game Sales Thread

[Kerotan]

I make a weekly sales chart over on chertz updating the yearly total and this week 3 Nintendo fans complained. Top 7 on the chart are PlayStation. Does it bug them so much seeing PS4 dominate that they want to sensor their own websites data?

COMG points have been released, and its very strong for Smash.

[NSW] Super Smash Bros. Special - 1438 pt (3 days)

Here's some past figures compared to media create.

01./00. [NSW] Super Mario Odyssey # <ACT> (Nintendo) {2017.10.27} (¥5.980) - 462.038 / NEW

If Smash isn't an outlier in COMG ratio like Splatoon, we're looking at a 1.2-1.5M first week in Japan. Decent shot at double pokemon. Looking good.

Also, Smash looks good to break Halo 3's record as the top selling exclusive launch in NPD history. 3.3M seems like an easy target for it.

Wait, there was a Smash game on WiiU?

It was just a straight port of the 3DS game I think.

What?

Not exactly.  Both Versions had exclusive features.

It was cross-developed if I'm not wrong... each version had it own exclusive stages and modes... it was released with less than a month of difference each other.

It is know by the fas as Super Smash Bros. 4.

Switch sold 200k in the last 3 weeks in the UK. Nice! Switch is gonna have a crazy December.

Does that Include BF week?

If so then it's likely around
100k
40k
60k

Well, that's my guess.

Yes it does. Well Switch was last on BF so maybe more like 90, 40, 70 or 90, 50, 60.

Either way, I expect Switch was the top selling console this week and will be for the rest of the year.

Early famitsu report estimates Smash at 1.30M debut in Japan, almost exactly double Pokémon and by far the biggest Smash launch. Huge.

[Cute Pikachu]

Biggest debut for a non Pokémon game ever for Nintendo btw.

Smash is as massive as we were expecting. Really hope the hardware push is huge as well. 300k+ for this week in Japan would be good.

Not sure if this is a joke and I should upvote

[Cute Pikachu]

Honestly 6 million is possible for its first 3 days. US sales must be enormous which explains every college kid playing smash this past weekend at my university lol.

I don't think so, its not going to do double pokemon in Europe and it'll fall short. I think its gonna round to 5M.
