Mr. House 3,371 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Not when it gets the right games apparently. Nice bump thanks to KHIII and RE2. AC7 also sold 220k so far. DQ Builders 2 sold equal amount of copies on PS4 than on Switch. Black Ops 3 passed 500k. https://gematsu.com/2019/01/media-create-sales-1-21-19-1-27-19 [PS4] Kingdom Hearts III (Limited Edition Included) (Square Enix, 01/25/19) – 610,077 (New) [PS4] Resident Evil 2 (Z Version and Limited Edition Included) (Capcom, 01/25/19) – 252,848 (New) PlayStation 4 Pro – 33,032 (6,958) PlayStation 4 – 19,612 (9,505) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing is taking those two games away from the top spots next week and they're big enough to push sales for a few weeks. Q1 line-up is pretty solid. Either way, my point is when Playstation gets the proper Japanese support it sells. We've seen it with MGSV, DQ games, Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, etc. The idea that consoles gaming is dead in Japan is just wrong, given more AAA support from the big Japanese publishers, it can still be successful. Even western IPs are gaining traction. RDR2 sold like 300k, CoD passed 500k. Might not sound like much but for Japan it's actually quite good. Switch might be good at moving first party software, but PS4 is good at moving third parties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you were kidding there. They really didn't ship a whole lot of copies if it was sold under 30k in one week. lmfao Quote Link to post Share on other sites
