YEAH! ARMED BLUE GUNVOLT DOMINATION! WOOOOOOO! Pretty good start for NMS. KoF had a good start on par with its last release. Nice. Otome > Basara.
*looks at PS4* The time has come. 3DS reached 10 million this week. |

Wonder how many of those No Man's Sky owners will be seeking refunds over the next week.

Are those system sales numbers correct? It seems odd that the PS4 sales were tracking at around 17,000 per month to suddenly drop to 5812.

Sales of Yōkai Watch 3 has taken a huge drop, but seems to still be performing well.

Myth: Sonic is unpopular in Japan. Fact: Sonic has sold millions of copies in Japan. Sonic Adventure has sold close to 500,000 copies in Japan. |

Becomes a bit of a problem when you take those sales numbers and compare it to the N.American sales which are 500,000 more or so greater. |

First off, VGsales aren't usually 'that' accurate. Actually, they're pretty inaccurate for the most part. Secondly, I don't think comparing a vastly smaller area like Japan to N. America is very fair when involving sales. Especially given the fact that 500'000 actually isn't all 'that' bad. Even for Sonic in Japan. SA2 was generally regarded as one of the most popular Sonic games in America anyway, so there has to be a line drawn in how we can compare the 2 in sales. |

They're not that inaccurate either.
Japan's size has nothing to do with this supposed unfair comparison to America though.
It isn't but when Sonic is essentially selling more in other countries it becomes food for thought. Especially when sales like that would more likely than not leave any other IP twisting in the wind in any other market. There's a reason Vanquish 2 and No More Heroes 3 don't exist..
Compare what exactly? Easterner was using SA1 as the basis of his argument and even if we factor in SA2 it's sales in Japan from what I've gleamed is still not that much better in Japan. |
