Seems like a bunch of Japanese gamers thought Diablo IV was on Gamepass then had to buy the game later.

 

[Bryank75]

What's with the Series X bump? Showcase or Diablo 4 missinformation (As @Nhomnhom said)???

 

[Dabaus]

45k ps5 two weeks before ff16 seems pretty good to me. If it can hold that or get to say 50k this week, i could see the ff16 bundle moving another 100k, so almost 200k in 3 weeks seems reasonable? Series x did well, I wonder if thats for scalpers or people actually bought it for diablo 4 though?

Diablo Bundle I would assume.

 

[Bryank75]

Diablo Bundle I would assume.

and do we know what price it was going for?

I didn't even know Diablo was popular in Japan...

Oh, there's controversy around Diablo 4 marketing? I've heard something about $30 refunds, is that maybe also a part of this?

Guarantee at least 50% of those X units are from scalpers. Hey, Reset keeps saying it's scalpers all the time when the PS5 numbers go up. Only fair to assume similar here when Xbox was trending 200 units or so weekly for the past several months.

 

[KiryuRealty]

THIS IS DISASTROUS FOR SONY!!!!

LOL

Thousands of people bought the Ultimate edition on Xbox but the keys were all revoked last week.

Some people did it on PSN but the keys are still working. Those asshholes might be able to keep it I'm jealous.

You had to contact PSN support by chat so it wasn’t as widespread I think.

I just took a wild guess to why Xbox sales were so unusually high for Japan, turns out it's a bundle apparently.

 

[BlueLyria]

We found the 1335% increase!

Diablo IV for Xbox in Japan is sold only via bundle
And there is no physical Diablo IV Xbox being sold outside the bundle.

BTW that was the cumulative of all pre-orders since Diable IV Series X bundle was announced.

 

[Helios]

Diable IV in Japan is sold only via bundle

Oh wow, so that's the reason for these sales and here i was thinking that persona fans were being too impatient

I fixed a bit my text because that is just about Xbox... there is no physical Diablo IV being sold to Xbox outside the bundle.
Famitsu only tracks physical games.

PS5 & PS4 have physical versions... and of course digital downloads is avaible in all platforms.

could be many reason like diablo 4, persona embargo, but i don't see them holding these sales for long, they'll return to the mean.

What's the $30 refund thing about?

 

[Lord Mittens]

Oh no. The systems destabilized now, what ever will we do.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

You had to buy Diablo 4 at full price then you would get the option to buy the Ultimate Edition for $30. Refund Diablo 4 and you keep the Ultimate for $30. It worked for a week but MS cancelled all the transactions.

You could do the same on PSN but you had to contact customer service by chat to trick them into refunding you Diablo 4. Those people are still playing because Sony never revoked the license.
