3DS sold 210k? DQ and MH4 are not even released yet... It's gonna be ultimate rape.

The Vita deserves better than this.



Disappointing boost for PS3 HW, considering there was a Yakuza 5 special edition PS3 console. It's only up 6-7k from last week.

Nice boost for the 3DS (44k-65k boost) and congrats on passing the PS3 LTD. Next up is Wii LTD.
AC also overtakes NSMB2 according to Famitsu.

As much as I love 2D Mario, I wished AC was gonna bypass NSMB2. That is not the kind of Mario games I want to see in the future. Each game used to be so innovative and trendsetting... At least NSMBU is the best of the 4.

Nintendo really dominates the videogame market in japan by 90% :) BY the way really good sales for the WiiU in japan
and nice boost for the 3DS too.



I think its that taxi demo that gave Yakuza 5 lower sales anyways we might get the game in (march) :P



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

Impressive all around for Nintendo.

So back to sub-100k world wide numbers for the Vita for next week while the 3DS continues to romp about. Can't say I'm overly surprised at this point. I'm starting to wonder if my 4.2 or 4.3m guess for total sold by the end of the year for Vita is going to be high now.

Oh, right, we're also only five days away from the official one year anniversary of the Japanese launch of the Vita! Sitting at 1.06m (according to the Platform Total Section and the approximate 10k from the first post of this thread) after 52 weeks, it appears.

The PS3 has great software sales in comparison though.


Yakuza 5 certainly gave the PS3 some shoulder room in the software charts.

So?

I think the point he's trying to make is, if you took that graph last week, or next week, or almost any other week, the PS3 would have a far lower marketshare. 

But I see your point. Fact is, games release and big ones will skew the figures. I do think you're cherry-picking slightly to dethrone the WiiU's launch as it were, but there you go. If it can stay above 25% next week then all power to it.

Then again people are saying "complete NIntendo domination" in here when the Wii U launch certainly played a big part...lol

Nintendo always dominates - it's just by how much that we get to discuss. :D

Nintendo is the TRUE winner of the consoles (Wii), the handhelds (3DS), and the next consoles (Wii U).



It's impressive for Nintendo because Nintendo Japan does its job fine and got real timing to sustain the momentum. In NA et EU, it's a complete different story. Reggie should stop donkey around and actually try a more agressive approach to the market by opening new studios, encourage more third parties and give more resources to Retro Studios.
