  15. [PSP] Fate/Extra CCC - 147.911
Sakuna will become Marvelous's 5th best selling game of all time next week.
Olive Town is likely to have an initial shipment of over 200K
Rune Factory 5
is already trending very well in terms of pre-orders, soit will likely see franchise growth without much trouble
Overall the Top 3 Marvelous games by mid year will be Olive Town, Rune Factory 5 and Sakuna without much trouble, Olive Town is also the first title by them that seems to have potential to surpass 1 million sales in Japan. This would be a huge result for a company of their size.

Man, Momotaro is insane. What about it made it catch so much fire?
It's always been a well-known brand and it's been around for a while. I believe it featured on a popular TV show in the last couple of years.

Couple that with Switch having a big userbase of families and people who enjoy local multiplayer (see the sales figures for Clubhouse Games) and you have a recipe for success.

Then good word of mouth gives it very long legs and it becomes another third party Switch evergreen alongside Minecraft (and soon Monster Hunter).

Localize Momotaru, I need to understand the craze.

It's like Mario Party but with no mini-games, instead you get a quiz where the question is always "which is the best country" and the answer is always "Japan" and you get Finger Family-tier animation to make you feel good about being a retard.

PS4/PS5 2021 Top 5:
  1. [PS4] Disgaea 6 (Nippon Ichi) - 18.289
  2. [PS4] Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War (Sony) - 16.454
  3. [PS4] Nioh 2: The Complete Edition (Koei Tecmo) - 6.523
  4. [PS4] Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin (Marvelous) - 6.079
  5. [PS4] Umineko no Naku Koro ni Saku (Entergram) - 3.361

First major title on the PS4/PS5 in Japan this year will be Resident Evil: Village, until than I think we would see PS4/PS5 games struggle to clear 50K

Will be interesting to see whether Village continues the Resident Evil decline or reverses it. Going cross gen was a smart decision on Capcom's part.
 
This documentary about the history of the Famicom, released in 2003, features interviews with several key developers and industry figures from the era, including Hideo Kojima, Keiji Inafune, Koichi Nakamura, Toshihiro Nagoshi, Yoshiki Okamoto, Takahashi Meijin, and Tetsuya Mizuguchi. While being an unabashed love letter to Nintendo’s impact on video game culture, it also offers us in the West a unique window into how the Japanese creators saw the system, and the specific moment in Japanese history that the Famicom occupies.

Still a bit early to draw conclusions but in the Top 50 it's looking like PlayStation ecosystem will struggle to surpass 5% with the line-up Switch has this year - Bowser's Fury, Olive Town, Bravely Default 2, Monster Hunter Rise, Pokemon Snap, Rune Factory 5 on the Switch launching up until May while PS has Resident Evil: Village.

2021 is definitely the highlight for third parties on Switch so far. Hopefully this becomes the new norm for future support. We already know Capcom is stepping up and I'm hopeful that Square Enix and Atlus will do so too.

It'd be insane if for square enix not to bring dragon quest 12 to the switch

I can't see it not happening. Since the Switch proved it was successful SE has changed strategy and the platform is clearly the main platform for the franchise and its where the franchise will sell best. I'm not sure we'll see DQ12 in the next couple of years, but we should see DQ Monsters and Infinity Strash come to Switch soonish and maybe a DQIX remake too.

Funnily enough Disgaea 6's first shipment on the Switch was sold out, so it's possible that despite the mixed reception Nippon Ichi will need to ship a second batch; overall the game might end up surpassing 50K on the Switch physically. Not sure what their DLC plans are but that could definitely help the game long term, obviously the title gets most of it's sales overseas but it's a positive development for them that the franchise is seeing growth and especially considering that Disgaea 5 sold a pretty low amount on the PS4/Switch in Japan.

[PS4/NSW] Disgaea 5 (2015/2017) - 39.494

Disgaea Franchise Top 10:
  1. [PS2] Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (2003) - 152.675
  2. [PS2] Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories (2006) - 151.806
  3. [PSP] Disgaea 2 Portable (2009) - 138.391
  4. [PS3] Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten (2011) - 129.031
  5. [PS3] Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice (2008) - 110.772
  6. [PSP] Disgaea Portable (2006) - 107.169
  7. [PS3] Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness (2013) - 79.279
  8. [PSV] Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention (2011) - 74.188
  9. [PSV] Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited (2014) - 49.312
  10. [NSW/PS4] Disgaea 6 (2021) - 44.033


The other interesting 3rd Party game this week is Little Nightmares 2, seems that Bandai Namco also shipped a small amount for the launch and the game is going to have stock problems on the Switch. I'm thinking that the Switch version's stock is only around 20-25K at best, more likely it's actually 15K. Kinda sad for Bandai that this is their biggest game announced for Q1, no wonder there is internal restructuring.

[NSW] Little Nightmares: Complete Edition (2018) - 10.401
[PS4] Little Nightmares: Complete Edition (2018) - 8.488

For the first time since launch, moremoretaro won't be first, 12 weeks at the first place, impressive.
how on earth did a slow burn 500k seller become a dragon quest numbers monster? it took a Mario game to knock it off the spot, that's nuts

Not many new games for 3 months, rare "big" new games, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (173k), cyberpunk (104k) and derby stallion (74k) were the biggest games.

You guys have no Idea how much it warms my heart to see Sakuna selling so well, maybe 13 Sentinels should have come out on Switch too. Most Nintendo players are much more open to games like 13 Sentinels.
