Dragon Ball Video Game Sales Discussion Thread

[Hellspawn28]

XV1 had decent word of mouth and good marketing. The create your own character had a big part of the game's sale since a lot of people wanted to make their own character for a long time.

[Bullza]

Ok here's the sales for the handheld games. They're also on the first page too. Tried to get this done before Xenoverse 2 comes out which is about a week. I'll need to look through the thread and find out what it sold in the first week because I forgot.

Xenoverse 2 came in at #7 on the UK sales chart, we managed to beat World of FF which came in at #11. So overall I guess we did okay.

[Bullza]

Initial worldwide shipments for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 have exceeded 1.4 million units, Bandai Namco announced.

Its predecessor, Dragon Ball Xenoverse, which launched across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, took nearly a month to reach 1.5 million shipments. Today, it has topped four million units.

Holy crap, Taiketsu outsold everything except for the LoG series!?
I guess it just goes to show how far Broly's popularity had gone back then. To think not even Shin Budokai sold as much.

So Xenoverse 1 has officially become the best selling game in the videogame library and Xenoverse 2 is shaping up to surpass that in much less time.

Xenoverse 3 is pretty much a certainty.

It is almost certaintly already started development a couple months ago.

First week sales in Japan.

Media Create

[PS4] Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 (Bandai Namco Games) {2016.11.02} (¥7.600) - 66.035 / NEW

Famitsu



Not sure if it released on Xbox in the country but if it did it sold less than 3,000 copies.

These are Xenoverse's sales in Japan

Media Create
[PS3] Dragon Ball Xenoverse (Bandai Namco) - 44,221
[PS4] Dragon Ball Xenoverse (Bandai Namco) - 34,690

Famitsu
[PS3] Dragon Ball Xenoverse (Bandai Namco) - 37,125
[PS4] Dragon Ball Xenoverse (Bandai Namco) - 26,657

So they both have Xenoverse 2 selling more than what Famitsu said Xenoverse sold week 1 but less than what Media Create said it sold.

It could be down overall but probably not too unexpected if it's only on the new consoles, it's a good boost just comparing the PS4 versions at least.

[Bullza]

Though I don't see it as official I thought this was worth repeating here. Vgchartz has Xenoverse 2 as selling 452,000 Week 1 in the West.

http://www.vgchartz.com/article/266599/ ... at-retail/

342,000 on PS4 and 109,000 on Xbox. 194,000 in US and 174,000 in Europe. It's also sold 87,000 in Japan by its third week so it'd be over half a million copies at least.

They had Xenoverse as selling 380,000 in the West on Week 1 so it'd be an improvement but their accuracy isn't that credible.

[Bullza]

Added Heroes X to the list. Looks like that one is currently outselling the previous two Heroes games.

[Bullza]

Not sure if this was brought up at all in another thread but both Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2 combined have now shipped over 8 million copies.

http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/201 ... oth-games/

A pretty staggering amount really. I'm not sure how that breaks down but prior to this we knew Xenoverse has shipped 4 million copies and Xenoverse 2 shipped 1.4 million copies.

Probably 5 million for Xenoverse and 3 million for Xenoverse 2 by now I suppose then.

VG Chartz isn't a source, they just make shit up. Don't use 'em.

I haven't used them as a source for any of the information in the OP. They do get the Japanese sales from mediacreate though so they aren't 100% wrong and it's worth at least mentioning it.

That said their current total sales are considerably off from the actual sales.

[DBZAOTA482]

How well did Budokai 3 actually sell? Some dude on GameFaQs is telling me it somehow underperformed.

[Basaku]

VG Chartz is good for a sales range/approximate number. A game that sold 1 million copies won't be sitting at 10 million at VG Chartz and vice versa. They don't just make shit up, they use official charts and data and do some guesswork based on that for worldwide numbers. So obviously, huge margins of error, but not so big that would change whether a game was a hit or a flop.

[Bullza]

How well did Budokai 3 actually sell? Some dude on GameFaQs is telling me it somehow underperformed.

It sold at least 1.8 million between ​the US and Japan. European sales are unknown but it could be pushing 3 million or something like that over time.

I don't know what standards it's being considered an underperformance. It did sell worse than Budokai and Budokai 2 but then it did sell better than any of the games afterward for years.

XV2 for Switch tops 500K:
https://twitter.com/dbgame_official/sta ... 5164532736

[Phozz]

XV2 for the Switch sold over 500k. Let's hope Dimps notices how much people love this series and fixes the problems in DLC6 or DEFINITELY in XV3...

[Bullza]

FighterZ released this week. In the UK it did not open to #1 however, it did come in at #2 behind Monster Hunter though.

http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/201 ... er-hunter/

I expect this will sell pretty well but I don't think it'll sell as well as Xenoverse.

[AnimeNation101]

Sooo, it was said that XV1 and 2 together sold over 8,000,000 units which I’ll assume means copies of the game? What’s the split like? What’s the ratio between both games?

And is XV3 even coming out for 2019? I have a feeling XV3 is set for a 2020 release with a new game being released for 2019. We’ll just have to wait and see come May or June.
