Sega in the Charts

[inthesky]

Tales of Hearts is also doing better than I expected, considering tepid response to the localization from some fans. I guess it was a small segment.

Well F 2nd is underneath some very strong titles but still it's good to see.

Phantasy Star Nova did well in Japan
But Hero Bank 2 flopped

Phantasy Star Nova did well in Japan
But Hero Bank 2 flopped

More than 100k. Yeah !!!
I guess Hero Bank 2 didn't stand a chance against Pokemon.

I dunno, Siliconera was pretty down on PSNova's performance in the Media Create article they wrote for this week and I have to agree with them. Sega and tri-Ace had to have been hoping for more.

Typically 100k for a well-established JRPG would be a pretty great debut but have to wonder why it performed as it did. Is there truth to the apparent consensus that the demo wasn't received too well (though Sega and tri-Ace made great efforts to change the gameplay experience)? does the exaggerated platform health kind of distort the real viability of PS on portables (that is, did the Monster Hunter and PSP boom wear off by now, or is the Vita that toxic?)

The Media Create only cover retail sales, right?
We still don't know how good are sales for the digital version.
Or then again may be Japanese are still busy with their Pokemon hype, so they have to miss this.
Let's see next week performance.

[ROJM]

Well you also look what it was released against....Etrian Odyssey..maybe it took sales a way a bit..and the timing was also wrong....overall Sega has effectivly two strong debuts in the charts from their own division and the company that they own in Atlus. HEROBANK wasn't popular to begin with..so no suprising about that flopping...

[fernandeath]

Yeah, Phantasy Star Nova had a tough competition.

EOU2 might end up scratching below 100k when all is said and done. but next week or two should be out of top 20
20k for PSNova. Not bad. But it'll probably drop next week.

I am REALLY unhappy with the Guilty Gear Xrd numbers. 40k for both PS3 and PS4? ugghhhh
That Smash Bros Wii U number doesn't look great to me
[/list]

[Nirmugen]

Yeah, Smash boosted some WiiU sales but nothing spectacular.

At least PSN gets some legs with the sales and reach 150k at the end of the year.

Shining Resonance was PS3's best selling game of the week. Let's wait and see if it reaches at least 100K sold copies in there.
Phantasy Star Nova is still in the chart, unfortunatelly it probably won't reach 200K in selling numbers.

[inthesky]

That's pretty good for Shining Resonance. I think it'll hit 100k lifetime. Yay! Solid debut.

PSNova, maybe 175k? It could also be resold as a different SKU down the line.Assuming Sony has the interest

[Kori-Maru]

Any data on Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax?

[Berto]

Any data on Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax?

No data still, but the retail version only last 2 weeks in the MediaCreate's Top 20.
May be the retail version managed to reach 100k (for both system).
Btw, most friends of mine (who bought this game) bought it digitally since it's available for ASIA's PSN Store
(still Japanese language, though).
