Famitsu Sales: Week 10, [3/4-3/10]. Unicorn Overlord #1 with 3 skus in top 10. Rebirth #2
- Thread starter Gamernyc78
- Start date
70K left on store shelves? Maybe they should do a buy a PS5 get a copy of ff7 rebirth with it? The PS5 being the equivalent of being 600 dollars in Japan isnt doing any favors. It selling 40k a week is actually incredible all things considered.
It wouldnt change much to the physical sales, which Im guessing thats what these charts are?
Xbox has no presence in Japan. Switch cant play it and PC has no physical game either.

100% This.
They are mostly portable buyers. They let the Wii U rot, as they did with Gamecube. Even Saturn sold more than N64 in Japan. I think PS home consoles sell better than Nintendo Home consoles in general except Wii.
They mostly care about 1.) Portable Nintendo games 2.)Portable None Nintendo games and 3.) Then Nintendo home console games, mostly in that order along with Dragon Quest. Mario Nes being the exception.

If PS wants to increase its software sales in Japan, PSP3 that plays the PS5 games. Thats the only way to be in the charts more often and with bigger numbers. It t wont sell Animal Crossing, Pokemon or Mario Kart numbers, but it would be better

I Thnk the portal sold really well there too just have production limits.
It's interesting also that most of the games in the chart I wouldn't consider cinematic or very story heavy games. They're also generally quite passive and closer to Gameboy and DS games than home console games
It really highlights how people in Japan are engaging with games now. More as a passive hobby that they do while commuting to and from work or generally just using public transport.
I would like to see pc figures for Japan though because I think PlayStation could be losing some ground to a more direct competitor in that area.
a new psp isn’t going to do shit in japan if it doesn’t play nintendo games
And im not sure what level of delusion people have to be in to still think sony or any other hardware manufacturer has the resources to support two platforms anymore.
We barely get new PS5 games at this point, let’s have the studios also make handheld versions of their games. Then lets charge 600-700 dollars for it so they don’t lose an incredible aobut of money on it

Thts what they say they are more of a hop on, hop off quickly type of gamer and on the go so makes sense their tastes are showing.
Not looking good for Ff7. Not even in top 10 for psn’s most popular games in the US.
Im shocked this might do worse (it is) than FF16 and the anecdotal absence of the game from anyone playing on my friends lists was initially the most telling. The majority of my friendslist were playing FF16 week 1. I have only one playing ff7.
Sorry, ethomaz absolutely nailed it. Final Fantasy is on the decline game over game and it’s dire.

Yeah I havent even seen it in stores or advertised anywhere, so it must still be sold out.
I think the major problem is also you need a PS5 to use it and its not a totally portable machine as it needs online.
This kind of stuff stops it from being a super mainstream machine, used on trains, planes and out in the open lol

of course, it is amazing game. people will recommend it to other.
but it could be not enough for these corpos, they want the money fast. they could kill sales as sony did with Horizon FW
nah, there will still be:
- The INTERGRADE version for PS5 Pro with upgrade available for base game owners
- The Epic Game Store Exclusive PC version for the double dip for PC owners
- The Steam Version a year after the EGS one for the triple dip, for PC owners who don't want to forget they have the game because they rarely check their EGS list of games and they want to play it on their Steam Deck or with remote play
