Is that sort of split normal for the different Pokemon versions? Nearly 400K difference seems huge

That's not a bad leg if you ask me. Still a tad below the 3DS entry but as someone who was recently became a fan of the series, I hope this is enough for them to continue making the games.

Probably the only time we will get any numbers about this game lol.

A Train is such nice success. The Densha Otaku and city builder fans probably goes crazy for the game there.

Can you post the same chart but counting PS4/PS5 releases as 1 release and not as 2 releases?
If you can tell me how to get ahold of the number of unique PS5- and PS4-releases without having to go through the entire Top1000, I would ;> I just tried counter-checking the 75 PS5-titles, but I got quickly overwhelmed by the wall of text that is the Top1000. Sorry. If someone has a way to quickly get these numbers, I'd gladly update my graph with it, though.

Since each data piece uses special characters to differentiate them from other surrounding data, you could copy all the text, convert it to CSV (find-and-replace all the " [" with ",[", " <" with ",<", etc, to remove the pertinent spaces that separate the data and replace them with comma-separated values then save the text file as a .csv file) that you can open in Excel. And then you just sort the table by the column with platform info. This wouldn't be possible were it not for how the data is formatted when posted here, so thanks to Chris for presenting the data to make this possible for you.

Kochira, Hana Naru Hoshi Yori is specifically terrible, way worse than any other title from their Yuri Brand...

I wouldn't say Fuuraiki 4 is a flop per se. Fuuraiki 3 sold 7,369 on Vita, however it was a port of the PC release whereas this was a completely new title designed first for PS4/NSW.

However, kinda agree with you on the rest of them. Disgaea 6 is a shame (although west will probably have made up for it) with no late handheld port to make up lost ground, Coven didn't save any ground from the late NSW port and Shin Hayarigami dropped loads from the PS3/Vita prequels.

I also had no idea they made a sequel to To All Mankind. That's absolutely shocking to me because the first game didn't exactly set the charts on fire and got a pretty meh reception from what I read too.

OT: Thank you so much for this Chris, much appreciated.

It actually did quite a bit better than Disgaea 5 though, even if not quite as well as the ones before that.

The biggest difference from ps4 leading games
Most of the others are close enough. I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't even 5 ps leading game anymore in 2022
 
It actually did quite a bit better than Disgaea 5 though, even if not quite as well as the ones before that.

157./000. [PS4] Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance # <SLG> (Nippon Ichi Software) {2015.03.26} (¥7.200) - 42.652 / NEW (22.725 <48,91%>)

Yeah, fair. I'm just projecting too far back, to when they'd get whatever sales they got from the home console version then 60-100k extra from the PSP/Vita versions. Here, I'm not sure where they get those extra sales from (PS5/Drake?), even if it was only 22k for Disgaea 5.

I'm sure they'll be fine.
 
Fatal Frame doing better on PS4 despite being Nintendo exclusive for the past decade is definitely something of a bad look for Nintendo in terms of how they managed that franchise/relationship...

Yeah, fair. I'm just projecting too far back, to when they'd get whatever sales they got from the home console version then 60-100k extra from the PSP/Vita versions. Here, I'm not sure where they get those extra sales from (PS5/Drake?), even if it was only 22k for Disgaea 5.

Well they do have Disgaea 5 Complete releasing on PS5 soon...

Fatal Frame doing better on PS4 despite being Nintendo exclusive for the past decade is definitely something of a bad look for Nintendo in terms of how they managed
That's nowhere near a big enough difference other than horror fans are still pretty spread out. The genre doesn't have much presence beyond Resident Evil.

Fatal Frame doing better on PS4 despite being Nintendo exclusive for the past decade is definitely something of a bad look for Nintendo in terms of how they managed that franchise/relationship...
At a glance, it seems like KT has the largest amount of multiplats still favoring PS4 systems. For now, at least.

They are the only ones releasing all their old PS-only games on both platforms now so it is expected, most KT franchises used to be almost 100% Sony exclusive for years (outside of Fatal Frame) so they lacked an audience on Nintendo hardware. Fatal Frame Switch vs PS4 performance I agree with Oregano it shows it was mismanaged by Nintendo even if most horror audience is on PS due to being the home of the big horror games (Evil Within, Outcast , Resident Evil, etc)
 
I feel like the real damning takeaway for FF5 is both versions underselling the Wii U original. Those Ninja Gaiden sales are pretty sad too, not a great year for Team Ninja.

edit: Also Nioh, triple bomba!

We have seen that when niche Wii U games have been re-released on NSW (or NSW+PS4) they struggle to sell as much as they did on Wii U (W101R,FF5,TMS) these games had Nintendo pushing them hard so they sold decent for Wii U games but now they are niche games with not that much of an audience due to being on a ‘dead’ console but they lack Nintendo pushing them hard so in the end being on a bigger installbase doesn’t matter that much.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is actually a case of a niche game managing to expand its audience by releasing on more and healthier platforms. And that's without taking digital sales into consideration.

I thought we were talking about doing so in a single platform not both together which at least in FF5 case it has been able to do so while W101R hasn’t
 
I want to thank everyone who put this monumental effort to make the Japanese market more readable.

You guys are modern saints.

Ah I thought you were talking about the overall result rather than what it did on each system. In that case, nevermind (although digital sales definitely close the gap a bit).
 
Media Create dropped Vita at new software and Wii, PSP, DS and Xbox One at used software.

Fatal Frame doing better on PS4 despite being Nintendo exclusive for the past decade is definitely something of a bad look for Nintendo in terms of how they managed that franchise/relationship...
I think this is the wrong take. First, the horror game market on console for basically the past decade (if not more) was only on PS consoles. Also, we can see that almost every Koei-Tecmo game favors PS consoles. That's also because their games were also basically PS exclusives for the past decade. Taking both into account, I really don't see how this is a bad look, specially when the best selling SKU is actually the Wii U version.

Fatal Frame was a Nintendo only franchise since 2008.

I agree Nintendo should've done more, only 3 games wasn't enough to keep interest in the game. But I think there's many other factors there besides their mismanagement. The games published by them didn't even sold bad, considering Fatal Frame has always been a low seller. If I'm not mistaken 4 on Wii was the best selling one, despite being broken and later being disliked by fans.
 
An sugestion regarding this Thread :

Currently some general data like Hardware sales, total software and market value are not visible by non members.

I suggest to add these data in first post just behind top 200.

Or add threadmarks to make the full top 1000 visible.

Can you post the same chart but counting PS4/PS5 releases as 1 release and not as 2 releases?
The number of PS5 only releases is ridiculously small (Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Returnal, Death Loop and probably not much else).

There were four games released over a seven year span (FFIV - 2008, Spirit Camera - 2012, FFII remake - 2012, FFV - 2014). That's about as active as a niche series can get without being over-saturated.

Forgive me if anyone's already asked this, but just a small detail I noticed:
846./000. [PS4] Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege - Year 6 Deluxe Edition <ACT> (Ubisoft) {2021.03.18} (¥3.600) - 1.106 / NEW (180 <14,01%>)

Is there a PS4 physical SKU of this particular version ("Year 6") of Siege? In Japan at least I was only able a find a PS5 SKU, so it just seemed a bit odd that a PS4 one would be here.

I wasn't counting Spirit Camera, but you are right. I really don't know what else Nintendo could've done for the franchise (in context of this talk, I really don't think they needed to do more). Like said, the games sold decently, that's why I think the rerelase of Maiden of Black Water selling more on PS is because of KT games still doing well there and they having the majority of the market for horror games for years,not because Nintendo failed managing the franchise.
 
Also, just since everyone's posting their own data collations, I'll post the usual one I track:

This is such an amazing thread of sales data. Thank you Chris and team!

340./201. [NSW] Arms <FTG> (Nintendo) {2017.06.16} (¥5.980) - 6.163 / 501.364 (-63%) (100.652 <68,64%>)

A big seller in Japan, but the legs are gone.

Sadly it didn't really catch on like Splatoon, but still it sold great for a new IP and a launch title. Still worth getting a sequel imo.
 
Wow, a rare case of PS5 SKU being (slightly) above the PS4 SKU:

833./000. [PS5] Control: Ultimate Edition <Control \ Control: The Foundation \ Control: AWE> <ADV> (Marvelous) {2021.07.15} (¥4.980) - 1.154 / NEW (323 <16,38%>)
850./000. [PS4] Control: Ultimate Edition <Control \ Control: The Foundation \ Control: AWE> <ADV> (Marvelous) {2021.07.15} (¥4.980) - 1.096 / NEW (266 <24,29%>)
 
I wouldn't say Fuuraiki 4 is a flop per se. Fuuraiki 3 sold 7,369 on Vita, however it was a port of the PC release whereas this was a completely new title designed first for PS4/NSW.

However, kinda agree with you on the rest of them. Disgaea 6 is a shame (although west will probably have made up for it) with no late handheld port to make up lost ground, Coven didn't save any ground from the late NSW port and Shin Hayarigami dropped loads from the PS3/Vita prequels.

I also had no idea they made a sequel to To All Mankind. That's absolutely shocking to me because the first game didn't exactly set the charts on fire and got a pretty meh reception from what I read too.
I was actually only listing all original (non-Falcom port) titles from them. I personally don't consider Disgaea 6 and Fuuraiki to be flops considering how low are NIS standards. In my opinion, even Detective Bokumetsu and Shin Hayarigami 3 sold 'ok' all things considered. The Cruel King and the Great Hero is disappointing to me, though. The first game in the series sold almost 2x what this one did.

Media Create Sales: CY 2018 (2018 Jan 01 - 2018 Dec 30)
278./000. [NSW] Liar Princess and the Blind Prince <ADV> {2018.05.31} (¥6.980) - 12.170 / NEW (6.412 <72,51%>)

288./000. [PS4] Liar Princess and the Blind Prince <ADV> {2018.05.31} (¥6.980) - 11.508 / NEW (6.487 <73,79%>)

I think that the idea of making a spiritual sequel to To All Mankind came from the thought that the audience would all come back to a new one, so they lowered the budget (making it a full VN) and were probably expecting to have a bigger margin of profit since the first game was a decent seller.
