One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 sales top one million - Gematsu

[ZhugeEX]

Yeah but it's Konami who iced up their only good developer so...
Also according to cheesemeister with the slides 31 million amiibo were shipped last year. Yes 31 million.

Also Nintendo is gonna be giddy when that Cloud and Ryu amiibo comes on the market.

Here is a breakdown for you-

America: 18.62m
Japan: 4.43m
Europe: 6.61m
Other: 1.35m

[DerNebel]

Yeah, Amiibo really are the biggest goldmine Nintendo stumbled upon in recent history and I'm honestly quite baffled that they've worked out like that for them.

How can people be so crazy about these dang figurines? Especially adults! How can people be putting up with Nintendos ridiculous shipment problems and consequently the ridiculous scalper prices? How can people rush and buy mediocre games just because they are bundled with a freaking Amiibo? Or even good games it doesn't even matter. What I mean is how many copies of Mario Party 10, Yoshi, Mario Maker or the upcoming TPHD were just sold because of the stupid bundled Amiibo? And how can people praise these things when all they actually are is a form of on disc DLC that you have to often pre-order without knowing what it does because it will not be available for who knows how long if you don't do that.

I get that most people just care about Amiibo as figurines to put on their shelves but still this mania really escapes my understanding.

[Xevross]

I can understand why kids would love amiibo without really understanding them but I'd expect adults would only buy them if they are very strong Nintendo fans and want to collect them or just want them all for the games.

18m is a very strong number, I'm glad they're doing well.

Also 4m by Splatoon is insane, people forget that this was a totally new IP which most expected to flop, even 2 million would have been a very good achievement. A sequel seems inevitable now.

WiiU does about what you'd expect. I wonder how long it will leg out these sales for.

[BananaKing]

The witness has sold considerably over 100,000 in its first week, making over $5 million in revenue.

Nintendo fans are, for the most part, brain washed hipsters.  Patcher wasn't wrong when he said they'd buy cardboard if it had Nintendo's name on it.

Surprised that DQ Builders on Vita and PS4 are actually fairly close to each other, expected a bigger gap.

[ethomaz]

PS4 finally UP YoY.
Wii U close to be up.

Good numbers for DQB... ~370k launch week.

[Max King of the Wild]

Xb1 slipped into double digits. Wii U slipping into obscurity

[ethomaz]

WOW PSV boost.

[Dr. Pezus]

Nice vita boost! Good sales for dqbuilders. I think it will have legs a lot like minecraft if it's good

seriously.....

Your fake quote is 100% accurate though...

There are many indie developers that go bankrupt due to piracy.

?  Or are these indie devs so obscure that they would have gone bankrupt anyways?
