Here’s the latest charts for the gals and the gays and everyone in-between! Otomes, joseimukes, yaois, BLs, yuri and husbando games are in this list.
Please, tell me if I made any mistake or if I left a relevant gacha out, it’s been a rough day… Also, check the comments to see if I made any correction.
Quick notes:
Added games: Ble Lock Blaze Battle (JP) and Haikyuu! Fly High (JP/KR), both new, and GYEE (EN/TW/JP), an old gay game that in my head it was dead, but it’s doing their thousand bucks…
As expected, revenue for husbando games dropped A LOT! Like, a lot, look at Light and Night dropping around 60%… For some reason, Cardcaptor Sakura also dropped a lot.
Love and Deepspace highlighted here because it’s such a huge game, but it has dropped more than 30% compared to February. Since the game is so new, we have yet to see if it’s only due to the Valentine’s month making a behemoth of a revenue or if the players are actually tired of the mercenary “events” and its current stale state.
I mean this is what happens when like 95% of decent gacha games pander to the male gaze. Guys have a selection of games to choose from and they’re spreading their money thin across titles, whereas most girls just go all into Love and Deepspace because it’s like one of the few if only high production gachas out there for the women. Even Mihoyo lent Papergames money for potentially owning shares if they don’t pay it back on time probably because Mihoyo is interested in untapped markets since the waifu market is oversaturated and too competitive. Probably explains why ZZZ has so many furries in it too because there’s not a high quality gacha for the furry lovers out there and furry lovers do have some deep pockets.
Ikemen Villains with only JP about on par with Ikemen Prince total JP+EN, that’s pretty neat. Of course, the anniversary did happen towards the end of March, so I’m sure that contributed some. Shame about the EN version of Ikevil getting delayed due to Apple, I’ve been waiting to discuss the game with some of my friends who don’t understand Japanese.
Light and Night dropped because we all went broke after New Year and Valentine. They have big events going on during Jan-Feb including banners with multiple SSRs.
Thanks for the list! And maybe you can add “Sutopuri with!!” It’s a new game released in March in JP with no gameplay like Akuneko and yet the revenue was higher than Helios lol. Why bother adding bothersome taps if they can manage with no gameplay at all indeed
Hi OP! Just wondering, do you have the numbers for 代號鳶 Ashes of the Kingdom? It’s a joseimuke (not sure whether it’s otome, I don’t play it but I keep seeing it so I’m curious) that has only been released in HK/TW, Singapore and Malaysia, but somehow has a huge fanbase on Weibo even though there’s no official means to download the game in Mainland China. I heard the story is great but it’s also a real cash sink, so I’m quite curious to know how it’s doing.
