Media Create Sales: CY 2023 (2023 Jan 02 - 2023 Dec 31) [new+used]

 

[Neo_arcadia7]

MMBNLC selling over 100K is great. Nice to see FFXVI over 500K, fun stuff. I always look forward to these numbers. RE4R creeping up on 300K. Interesting to see a ton of PS4 titles still somewhat hanging on.

Monster Hunter Support was "Decent" and it got them #3 - Capcom

*** Hidden text: cannot be quoted. ***


A single new Monster Hunter mainline game, one 3DS port and Stories 2 has pretty much catapulted Capcom to the #3 physical spot.

Monster Hunter Rise's physical sales haven't yet hit 3M, but when we consider digital we are talking about 6M+ units in Japan. Most sales seems that they would scuew digital considering that Rise & Sunbreak sold below 100K physical in 2023 yet was #11 on the eShop. It's extremely good positions in the eShop thanks to Capcom's long-term strategy of keeping it relevant via discounts(and they haven't discounted as quickly as they did with World on the PS5). This year it's likely to remain in the Top 15 of the eShop and likely Top 20 in 2025.

eShop 2021 - #1
eShop 2022 - #5
eShop 2023 - #11

I would estimate that digital sales so far have exceeded 1.2M+ in the first year, 0.7M+ in year two and 0.2M+ in year three and still a few more years to sell at a lower price mostly digitally. Overall this will be a title where digital to physical split when we look at lifetime sales will be favoring digital.

Sorry if I did not understood, but in your estimates you put Rise digital sales at 2.1M + lets say 2.7M physical, that its not 6M, unless you meant life time sales? Or maybe other discount versions?

Also, yeah I expect SF and new RE to also launch on Switch 2.

While NicheBarrier is great it doesn’t update with these CY numbers. I know P5R ps4 is higher then that because it was on last years CY so just be cautious.

That's cause it uses Famitsu not Media Create, it really makes a difference with games that spend a lot of time outside the top 100 but inside the top 1000.

 

[Neo_arcadia7]

Yeah but some games have a large variance for example NB has P5R at 244K & last years MC CY had it at 300K. I try to dig through MC to find last updated numbers because sometimes it can make a difference. I wish NB would update with CY numbers.

Sadly having data like this on a public website is a really bad idea.

 

[AruanaRiva]

Remember when Konami looked like they had completely retreated from consoles only to make a killing with Japanese exclusive Switch games? What an odd time we live in.

I am more interested if Konami will try to put all those Silent Hill games on Switch 2 when it is released. Or they will try to revive PES there.

Feels like big miss opportunity there.

yeah I meant lifetime, as I don't expect any further Monster Hunter on the Switch

 

[sfortunato]

Sumikko Gurashi is another franchise that keeps on selling on Switch, despite posting lower numbers than on 3DS. Games must be really cheap but they always find an audience especially during holidays. Best-selling entry seems the first one at 150k units.

Yeah, Nippon Columbia is 'unassumingly' an important third-party contributor on Nintendo consoles outside of the big established publishers [in Japan].

NB is using Famitsu and you don't mix trackers, it's a good source of information but indeed shouldn't be used for LTD numbers for many titles.

As for P5R this is what M-C has for this year

[salesguy]

i finally can do my check of xbs sales mc vs famitsu

famitsu cy 2023 XBS =141.712
MC CY 2023 XBS=77,452

so theres a mild change but not a huge one, it stayed around 2:1 which is the LTD.

Even using MC, XBS is doing hugely better than XB1 in japan.

also it's interesting that xsx sold more than xss this year according to mc, which is a change. without being on the ground in japan no idea why (can be any number of factors beyond popularity, such as promotions or stock levels)

also it just hit me than minecraft is popular in japan.

At Spain, they have Xbox physical games. The console is selling almost the same in both countries. Do you guys think some games could receive physical editions in Japan?

 

[Fukuzatsu]

Seems relevant given the cross-gen period is still (!) ongoing as we see with Persona 3 Reload, Ryu Ga Gotoku 8, Armored Core VI, among others--Here's a look at the Top 30 best-selling PlayStation games published since the launch of the PS5 across their various SKUs, which as far as I can tell conveniently cuts off at 100k LTD anyway. Nothing yet nearly as big as the big hitters on PS4 (prior to the PS5) such as Monster Hunter World or Dragon Quest XI, or even Final Fantasy XV, but there are at least 16 titles above 200.000, with the obvious standout being Hogwarts Legacy (though we knew that already from public data). Other than that, it's perhaps not too surprising that the top 5 titles are all big Japanese games, but Spider-Man does also seem consistently strong among the western output putting up solid numbers (relatively speaking) in the PS5 era.

On the topic of PS4-PS5 ratios, among these best-sellers I would also note that we see a clear increase in adoption comparing 2021 and 2022 to 2023 titles; Biohazard VILLAGE for instance had a PS5 ratio of only 35%, while Biohazard RE:4, the next similarly-scoped title in the series, saw a ratio of 50%. FromSoftware saw a similar improvement, going from 35% for Elden Ring, to over 68% for Armored Core VI. Going forward, it seems likely that any successful cross-gen release will see over 50% of its unit sales on PlayStation 5.

And sell what, 1000 copies? Xbox is dead console for selling games, its basic use is Game Pass.

The launch of Octopath Traveler II had a positive impact on the first entry.

Off-topic because this is about western sales, but do you know by chance if the physical copies of Persona games published by Limited Run are counted under Sega/Atlus or is it more of a licensing thing?

One last Chaos and Bullshit.

Last year I said the bar had gotten so low that MoM would chart again, and the did get lower to make MoM chart again. Right on the dot. 21 straight years of KH. The streak continues. That said... next year is going to have to need the strongest hold in history for the KH streak to continue (not counting used).

Note for below: We all know next years thread is obviously going to be negative so even though this didn't achieve the milestone "physically" by missing only a few thousand units (but we know with Famitsu it was still selling thousands of copies so its going to happen next year), it did with digital included. Plus, when this actually achieves the milestone physically next year, it will be the only positive thats outweighed by negative, and I know I'm not going to have the energy to be positive when making my post. So I'm celebrating this now.

This is it! The moment that I've been waiting for since 2021 after that disappointing opening due to the conditions in the world. The decision was made to sacrifice sales (rerelease on PS4) in order to focus on PS5 to speed up development on the next parts. It sold:

2021: 20,246 first week. 17,248 the remaining 6 months. 37,494 total.
2022: 13,145. Rebirth announcement effect. 50,539 total.

One last time.

Holy crap! Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!! What a year for Intergrade! So many people wanted to be Intergraded by the one true tensai. I've been waiting for the longest and wondering how much original Intergrade sold from January to when New Price was announced in (off the top of my head) September or October. I expected 10k between those months then New Price would carry the rest, but it surpassed my expectation. Amazing. New Price opened higher than Famitsu as expected. Famitsu was at 22k in the 2nd week ending the 17th, so it would be interesting to what that ended the year at. With that said... let the tensai intergrade you.

It's that time of the year where I endlessly rant about how Media Create is doing my dear Otome Games dirty!!! Without surprises, this year have big discrepancies between both trackers... Otomate two biggest releases in Famitsu, Virche FD and 9 R.I.P., had their First Weeks cut by half, much like it happened with Tengoku Struggle last year.

To show how ridiculous it gets, let's compare how their Life-to-Date sales on Media Create compare to Famitsu's FIRST WEEK...

Another thing I would like to point is how Jack Jeanne missed the TOP 1000 this year... A 100k seller (worldwide), one of the most popular titles of the genre, couldn't get 750 physical copies sold on it's third year in the market? I don't know, that doesn't sound right to me. But, anyway... I don't know if we will ever solve this issue, since getting concrete data about games like this is so hard. Since I want to pretend the Otome market is hyper healthy, MC will always be my enemy at heart.

Sales decreased this year, once again, but a big part of it is thanks to the TokiMemo effect. Comparing total sales without the outlier, we can see a far softer drop, as the graph bellow shows:

Otome Games aside, if last year (2022) we had many JoseiMuke (media aimed at older women) games, this year saw a bunch of ShoujoMuke (media aimed at girls) games!! So I made a small graph for it too. Some small comment: Famitsu VS. MC numbers were basically identical for Fashion Dreamer. Model Debut Nicola saw a small decline once again.

I didn't make the charts private to full members because the number of people who care about these game is so small (let alone the ones who care about their sales...) that I don't feel there will be many issues, but will change as soon as possible if asked to do so!

PS: Charts, respectively, themed after Dessert de Otomate 2023, Otomate Party 2023 and Fashion Dreamer japanese boxart!

Certainly looks like Switch fans put their money where their mouth is, almost like Atlus was blind to what was in front of them for so many years.

But yeah 250k with Physical and Digital combined for Persona 5 Royal on Switch is killer for such a late port. But where are these numbers from? Super secret source in a "I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you" sort of way? /jk

Because the CY stuff's as of Dec 31st and we never get digital numbers outside occasional indies throwing crumbs to help us gauge using chart positions, etc.

I copied all the media create data and I'm gonna post it everywhere for anyone who wants to see it, free of all this bullshit. Meanwhile you can all keep jerking each other off in here, role playing as if you're some sort of industry analysts, you losers.

Otome Games aside, if last year (2022) we had many JoseiMuke (media aimed at older women) games, this year saw a bunch of ShoujoMuke (media aimed at girls) games!! So I made a small graph for it too. Some small comment: Famitsu VS. MC numbers were basically identical for Fashion Dreamer. Model Debut Nicola saw a small decline once again.

I didn't make the charts private to full members because the number of people who care about these game is so small (let alone the ones who care about their sales...) that I don't feel there will be many issues, but will change as soon as possible if asked to do so!

PS: Charts, respectively, themed after Dessert de Otomate 2023, Otomate Party 2023 and Fashion Dreamer japanese boxart!

Those PreCure numbers are a lot better than I expected.

Hey, are you the same Aniplug from twitter that posts about anime games? If so, welcome!
I think that since you're a new account you can only see the top 100, so if you're curious about anything in the top 1000 feel free to ask.

FFXVI seems to have some good legs. Including digital it may not be too far off from XV.

I would sure hope it isn't off by any units!

FFXVI managed to have better legs than a paraplegic, and probably close to XV give or take five zeros.

If its in the 800k ballpark, its not that far of FFXV 1.1M numbers(digital included)

Sure seemed like it when they applied for registration

Where does that 1.1M number comes from?
It had straight up a 1.068M physical shipment (that it struggled to sellthrough, which is another matter) day 1 on PS4
There was also an Xbox One SKU, although negligible it did contribute for a few thousands copies, a >8.500 day 1 physical shipment

(All data from M-C cy 2016)

You can't throw a random 35% digital estimate to favour FFXVI on one end and litteraly expect a 2.5% one for FFXV on the other hand to somehow make your comparison better for FFXVI.

That would be a pretty fair digital ratio for FFXVI, no?

For FFXV i remember that number in the release with a smaller digital ratio and the game having bad legs, if im wrong, sorry my mistake

It's fine in isolation (anywhere between 25-40% is a fair guess), but digital already existed in 2016 so initial shipment of FFXV had to be ahead of 1.2M easily (which would need a 10% digital share only)

As for digital share for a recent AA title in Japan on PS
