Very solid performance. Gonna be hard to keep that going without a major release that will hit like Elden Ring.
Yeap they said in Japanese that Elden Ring increased like 300% the sales.
Not a fan of the game but cant deny its success.
I have to wonder if their next game will have nearly as much fever.
Not terribly surprising no?
It was a heavily marketed Xbox game but that audience isn't huge on Japanese games. Unless I am misremembering?
Yeah, it was marketed as an xbox title, there was even that pretty damaging rumor it was gamepass day 1 from grubb that probably hurt its pre orders
They made all this money and yet they refuse to give me a refund for my .Hack GU collector's edition that they smashed up in the mail, because it was sent in a small paper envelope.
For an order traveling thousands of miles
which they charged $70USD for international shipping
For one little small Switch sized case.
Bamco, you bastards.

The rumor started because the official site on Banco only showed Xbox logo.
Bandai Namco is also buddy buddy with Sony, its not as if BN are making xbox exclusives
Japan is only ~10% or less of their game sales:
Seems Elden Ring continues selling a lot. I wonder why became so popular, when soulsborne games traditionally weren' that huge.

I'm not that sure. In the Sony 3rd party relations office they had a huge Elden Ring statue.

I agree, I think they didn't have any marketing deal for Elden Ring. They simply had some trailer in MS event but also had some stuff in PS blog plus Sony has the statue. They are good with everyone.
What happens with Scarlett Nexus? Is there any report of it having good or decent sales? Because I don't see it as a super seller.
Was speaking about Scarlet Nexus but wasn't elden ring debuted on Xbox?Japan is only ~10% or less of their game sales:

Elden Ring was announced at the Xbox E3 2019 conference, but always has been a multiplatform game and didn't seem to have any relationship with MS other than releasing their announcement trailer at their event.
Scarlet Nexus is also multiplatform but as I remember it had its marketing more tied to MS, maybe they had a marketing deal. According to wikipedia:
"The PlayStation 4 version of Scarlet Nexus sold 20,160 physical copies during its first week on sale in Japan, making it the fifth best selling retail game of the week in the country. The PlayStation 5 version sold 11,008 copies throughout the same week in Japan, making it the country's ninth bestselling retail game of the week.[31] Scarlet Nexus was the fifth best-selling game of June 2021 in the US, and was also the sixth best-selling game on both the Xbox and PlayStation charts that month.[32] By April 2022, the game had sold 1 million units and reached 2 million players.[33]"
Scarlet Nexus def had a marketing deal with xbox, they even released a timed demo on xbox a week or two earlier than playstation. For a long time there was almost nothing in their marketing pointing to playstation.
I was just saying it felt like it underperformed at bit selling a million units. I feel like the gamepass deal probably killed some of its legs a little, but probably not much, game just didn’t grab a hold of people like Tales of Arise did that year. This is what im referring to.
