>Famitsu has published its estimated physical game software and hardware sales data for Japan for the week of May 23, 2022 to May 29, 2022.
>Otome visual novel Radiant Tale for Switch was the highest selling new release of the week, opening at 7,311 retail copies sold.
>Other titles launched last week, such as Yurukill: The Calumniation Games, Pac-Man Museum+, and the Switch version of The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails, did not chart in the top 10.
>On the hardware side, the Switch family sold 60,877 units, the PlayStation 5 family sold 14,830 units, the Xbox Series family sold 2,541 units, and the PlayStation 4 family sold 16 units. Next-generation consoles continue to face stock issues.
Now that we've got all the ritualposts out of the way, do we have some sort of expectations for Mario Strikers? Did the original games do well in japan?
Honestly any developer with half a brain should be able to look at the massive success games like Genshin have on twitter and realize that there is a huge potential market for otome style characters with western otaku women
I could possibly see them getting hung up on some market factors though like pricing vs translation costs.

No seriously, nothing happened this week much like last week yet somehow posts pile up so quickly due to seething. Why?

Ah, so the snoytranny finally figured out how to remove its name.

>first one was a gamecube game so kinda muted overall but still managed to make it to Player's Choice label >second one was on the Wii early on in its lifespan, did 200k in Japan and sold quite a bit more overall
This new game has the Switch behind it, and can benefit from World Cup publicity. I think it'll do well longterm, especially with post-launch updates.

Hopefully bombs and all systems.

I wouldn't be surprised after how Compile panic ported that nep game lmao.

SEGA was somehow able to perform black magic and wring a PC Persona port out of Atlus; surely they can easily step in and smack some sense into them for smaller games like this. If you're buying a company that almost died from bankruptcy, maybe being totally hands-OFF with them is a fucking awful idea.
