Last year numbers...

DS: 87,118
PS3: 59,612
Wii: 56,547
PSP: 32,841
360: 3,859
PS2: 2,547

YoY

DS down 91%
PS3 up 25%
Wii down 12%
PSP up 116%
360 down 29%
PS2 down 48%

PS3 and PSP are doing a GREAT yoy job in Japan.


Did you read Acevils post? This week included a popular day of shopping not included in the same week last year, which should theoretically mean they should be down YoY next week?

And thanks for the numbers Acevil!

I had thought of FF-X but it has no date at all. FF-X may come this year however it's fairly up in the air. Still nothing at all shown of the game etc. With Square's track record it wouldn't be surprising if the game ended up taking a long time. So for the entire rest of the year the only big title for the Japanese market is one that may not even make it out this year and will be a multiplatform remake?

Putting numbers in a Y/Y aspect has nothing to do with Acevils post, its just a point of reference.

GrrrrreAT sales! Mario 3DL will surely be the best selling 3D Mario ever!

I would like to see how Vita is holding up against the first weeks of PSP.


Roughly tied this week, next week PSP will be greater. 

After four weeks on sale:
PSP - 482,252
Vita - 482.901

Source: Neogaf poster in this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=458546

Wow, it looks like the PSP is going to be above the Vita for quite awhile. After the holiday boost is over in next week's numbers all HW should fall. (numbers from the thread above)

3DS　　　　PSP　　　　PSVita
1　　374,764　　166,074　　321,407
2　　209,623　　 81,355　　 72,479
3　　96,463　　　92,515 　　 42,648
4　　61,394　　　111,194     42,915
5　　50,710　　　55,358
6　　42,979　　　57,383
7　　32,910　　　66,601
8　　28,252　　　71,200

Ps vita doing pretty bad.
As expected though, didn't bring anything new to the table.
It's basically the psp, but for this generation.
Console ports for a portable device.

Looks like they'll need the PS3 and PSP to carry them in Japan until a Japanese killer app comes out. I'm hoping western sales for the Vita aren't as poor.

NPD February will show us if the launch was hit or miss

NPD? You must be new here .

Why ?? Vita releases in February in US and Europe and NPD will show us if Vita did good or not in the West (USA)...

There is a Tales game coming in January, if I'm not mistaken.



@ethomaz 'Epic' is not the word I'd use, 'Sad tie' would be more appropiate.

Ps3 really good this week, should be 1st WW after 3DS.

3DS is beasting holly sh**, i cant believe how well they are still selling, probably this will be best year ever for a Nintendo Console in Japan.

Vita, well lets wait till proper Games hit the Console in Japan, i remember Psp sales explode when MH hit in 2010. For now its not looking good.

360, Microsoft better buy some Japanese Studios Next Gen and do alot more RPGs because 360 is absolutely dead in Japan. If this keeps up they will sell 3M next gen since 360 doubled Xbox 1 Numbers.

Psp, damn thats the only place in the world that psp keeps selling lol

Ps2, crazy beast wont ever stop.

Hard to beat DS numbers of 2006 (around 8 million consoles in 1 year!!!)..

Anyways 3DS is an absolute monster, huge numbers! PS3 did well to go up, Wii bounces a bit back but it's gonna be a long year till DQX releases :/

And Vita... will it be doing sub 15k weekly numbers till something releases? These numbers are not good at all. 

Software wise, the 3DS trio keep on chugging! And even Inazuma gave it 4 out of the top 5 incredible! I'm so glad for SM3D LAnd! What a game :) And MH3G looks like it will beat its 1.2 million projection unless it completely falls next week.

And amazingly Wii has a huge contribution to the top 20, yet can't really impose itself on the hardware side. It doesn't have a big seller on its side... And how disappointing is Zelda performing?! :( 

FF13-2 definitely now won't pass 800k without a re-release. Quite astonishing that it won't pass a million!!! 

And that's my analysis

FFXIII-2 definitley wont pass 800k? it only has 50,000 to go, itll easily do that.

to benao87 (for some reason quoting never works for me on this site).

Tales games are good sellers, but most definitely not system sellers on par with monster hunter, mario etc.

Also the Tales game being released for the PS Vita is a remake of a 4 year old DS game that sold 260k. Basically I wouldn't get your hopes up for it too much. Don't think anyone would view a 4 year old Ds remake as a big title that will help sales.
