I know this is just Famitsu poll being Famitsu poll, but I'm still surprised to see Toukiden Kyoku there :O
Thanks!
SE should keep their promises, or at least remember to make an announcement that they canceled the project.
Ok, that made me chuckle
Honestly surprised Smash 3DS isn't higher... wasn't it higher a few weeks ago? And funny Bravely Second is just behind Zestiria, even though we know nothing about it all (other than a couple tidbit from interviews). Not bad from such a recent new IP, especially since we haven't heard anything about it for a looooong while now.
But yeah, Famitsu Most Wanted list is even more ludicrous than the actual reviews. So not representative of the market as a whole... or even of "gamers" in general.
Still, just like Comgnet preorder data, it's still interesting to check.

It's SCEJ. Probably takes forever. It has also always puzzled me why SCEJ hasn't released Singstar in Japan. The homeland of karaoke...
Do you mind checking these sales against the magazine? There's some repeated numbers and the last one doesn't add up...
Obrigado.
Remind me, esutero isn't official right?

It was said earlier in this thread that 400k was the initial shipment and 50-60% the first day sellthrough. So, the poster probably got things mixed up, I guess.
It's a Japanese aggregator news blog. There's no original content, so it's not the source. That blog post in question is simply a collection of early reports from various game shop blogs, including the one Chris already talked about. It's an estimate from that shop owner himself, that it's selling at a 50-60% sell through rate, and that it COULD sell about 400k in the first week. That's an opinion, not a tracked fact.

wrowa interprets it's a 400k shipment and you say they say a possible 400k FW. I'll go with you.
Can't help but be confused.wrowa interprets it's a 400k shipment and you say they say a possible 400k FW. I'll go with you.
So simple and yet so difficult
For last time:
That blog has access to full data subscription, the exact tracker is unknown but it's supposed to be Media Create. If Media Create subscriptions are close to Enterbrain's system it means the (much more expensive) full subsrtiption gives among many others first day sales, first day shipments and early Monday preview. It's likely they also give a very early Friday preview based on first day sales but even if that is not true and the 400k is completely an estimate from the blog it's a vey good and not lucky estimate. I remember similar first week estimates for at least 3 games: W101, SMTIV, AA5 and all of them were correct.
Yes, it's how I understood it (and also why I was confused by the latest posts) and from this we know the shipment should be more than those 400K FW sales estimates/educated prediction.

Wow, didn't expect to see that on the chart that high. Nice!

Monster Strike [gameplay video] has begun to challenge Puzzle & Dragons' dominance of the iOS and Android top grossing app charts.
The game has steadily risen in the charts over a long period of time and is now very consistently at #2 on the charts, sometimes even temporarily overtake Puzzle & Dragons, which is an incredibly rare event.
Mixi used to be Japan's #1 social network, eventually falling to Facebook/Twitter/Line, and now has attained newfound relevance through this game, having their market cap soar past $2 billion and overtake DeNA (Mobage).
The game is about flinging monsters (that are kind of like pool balls) into other monsters to defeat them, along with the standard plethora of Japanese social game systems based on cards, fusion, special events, gatcha, etc.
You can also play the game game in up to four player multiplayer. If you're in solo mode, one person controls all four pins, in two player each player gets two pins, and in four player each person gets one pin. This mode currently only works via bluetooth (locally).
This post has an incomplete breakdown of how it works, but I couldn't really find a much better one in English as the game is only out in Japan: http://puzzleanddragonsforum.com/showthread.php?tid=33705
The game has recently launched in Taiwan to top 10 grossing success and will soon be coming to China via Tencent. I'm unsure if it is planned for Western release.
To tie this to the more popular dedicated game discussion, if you were looking for a game that could be converted to 3DS and sell 1+ million copies, this one is a pretty safe bet.
Some screenshots since I suspect most are unfamiliar with the game:

If we were to see more mobile spinoffs on 3DS, when do you think we'd hear about them? Would it be at some big tradeshow or would we just hear about them here and there?
PS4 port will obviously single handedly boost PS4 sales in Japan...
Ha I still can't believe it gets so many votes. It's been how many years now?
I would kind of expect it to happen arbitrarily in Famitsu or maybe in a Nintendo Direct.
It's bad enough that old people are dying, so I imagine it could actually affect sales.
There is, it's way too hot, there's been a constant stream of 熱中症 cases for about the past week. Finally broke in and turned on the AC last night, I'm going to stay inside and play videogames instead of melting outside.

Is no secret to anyone that Famitsu Most Wanted was always very Sony biased.
Iwata's been talking up mobile to 3ds ports in investor meetings so I'd think nintendo directs are the most likely.
Yeah, i wanted to go to shops again today. But yesterday i almost die, and I don't want to die today either. So i'll stay at home lol
Fixed. It's not Sony. It's just the Famitsu readership, which tends to lean more hardcore/RPG types.

So how come X isn't on the list? Does Japan not like Xenoblade?
Do they put any game on there that doesn't even have a title, yet?
10. [Untitled Nintendo Xenoblade-type game]
?
There hasn't been much marketing for that game yet... I seriously doubt most people are aware of its existence.
Probably because it has no official title yet. We'll probably see it bump the list when there is an official title.

135 copies sold confirmed
Not everyone who says they want something ends up buying it, though.
I'd say 70 copies sold.

The effect of Monster Strike on Mixi's financials
Basically Dragon Strike made $300m USD revenue last Q alone (1200% growth QoQ). This mean it was making an average 3.3m USD revenue per day. Insane.
What the hell are you trying to say. It looks pretty balanced to me.
Famitsu says first week sales were 3200 units on DS, with no updated LTD. It probably didn't chart in MC's public data.
All right, thanks. Since XX sold 2800 on the first week and 16k LTD I thought 7 sold more but maybe it didn't.

Fuck, the "secret" E3 3ds game is bravely second ..
Gungho even gave out free stone to PAD players for falling to #2 which I thought it's kind of funny.
