Ah, thanks for the clarification. This hasn't been posted on the official IR website, has it?

Edit: nope, doesn't look like it.

 

[The_lascar]

Nope, I guess we should blame the Golden Week for that.

Bravely Bomba

 

[Pennywise83]

Bravely Bomba

Indeed.

SQEX showed how much is unable to cultivate new IPs in the traditional market. Bravely would have a big potential of becoming a mid-sized IP.

Another IP Square Enix killed.

(lol)

Other places even before the game came out were sold out of "pre-orders" and the bundle. Saw signs for that like last week.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

BD : 145k
BD2 : 97k

Outlook does not look good right now.

 

[Nightbird]

Isn't 97k First Week ok?
Or how much did they want to sell?

Edit: i see.

Damn all around bad. Well I guess PS4 is doing ok all things considered.

Well, being a cheap sequel they could probably bank on it, also thanks to a rightly Western release.

 

[ULTROS!]

Blazblue Chrono Phantasma Extend (PS3) - 23k
Hyperdimension Neptunia VII (PS4) - 23k
Blazblue Chrono Phantasma Extend (PS4) - 11k

 

[Acquiescence]

Too many gamers turned off by Bravely Default's second half I'd wager.

 

[Asd202]

I wonder if we will even see a sequel in the west. SE probably won't do it but the question is will Nintendo do it again?

The first entry sold too well for the second entry being ignored. But SQEX doesn't care about handheld devices anymore after all so who knows.

 

[GhostTrick]

More like even smaller marketing budget.

 

[Bots are better than you]

Hm, no good numbers for BD2 ... i liked the first game. How were the sales in the west? I hope high enough for SQEX to warrant a release outside of Japan.

Btw. this week is Golden Week, right? Could it be possible for the sales to rise, seeing the increase in the numbers releasing next week?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Too many gamers turned off by Bravely Default's second half I'd wager.

Is that the thing where they said it was like an endless loop or something. I saw lots of people complaining about it here when it came out.

Blazblue Chrono Phantasma Extend (PS3) - 23k
Hyperdimension Neptunia VII (PS4) - 23k
Blazblue Chrono Phantasma Extend (PS4) - 11k

HN : 25k
HN mk2 : 34k
HN V : 36k

umm this is the 7th one but I can't find the other 5 lol

Well, being a cheap sequel they could probably bank on it, also thanks to a rightly Western release.

Talking about the franchise.

 

[urfe]

How is BD2?

Thinking about picking it up.

 

[Asd202]

The first entry sold too well for the second entry being ignored. But SQEX doesn't care about handheld devices anymore after all so who knows.

Yeah I know it sold well but the lack of any news concerning the localization of a sequel to a good performing game rises question in my head. I really think SE doesn't give a fuck.

 

[Fandangox]

Xenoblade X sold through it's first week?

 

[djplaeskool]

umm this is the 7th one but I can't find the other 5 lol

It's a semantic rope-a-dope just like Neptune U

Grats ArcSys.

 

[HGH]

23K...
I'm... I'm sure Nep sales'll pick up during Golden Week. Yeah definitely. Certainly.

 

[Meier]

I haven't really followed it closely -- why is the consensus that BD 2 was mishandled? A real shame about the sales drop off though. I absolutely loved the original.. put in well over 100 hours if I recall.

 

[test_account]

MAU might be increasing, but revenues seem stable, which is not a good sign.

As long as they're able to make that amount of money, i dont think its a bad sign. The game is also getting old, so its pretty good for Gung-Ho that the revenue is still stable.
