So One Piece put PSP over 50k units... nice.

Sorry for the late update. My Desktop crash. :(

At PSP there's no surprising about it. 2 big games just released. One Piece and AKB 48 game.

PS3 strong in Japan... and PSV dead.

WTF PSP???

I think this explains the huge boost for the PSP.



Absolutely crazy 3DS sales.  Wii-U seems to be holding up.

Also really nice increase from PSP as well. And shocking from PSV. Help migrate the bloody developers Sony, blimey. Hopefully all the releases in Q1 will help give it some semblance of life.

Are there software updates incoming too?



Hokuto no Ken and Black Ops II did good in PS3 too.

Makes sense... OP is really strong... I can't wait the Pirate Warriors 2 for PS3.



" 01./01. [3DS] Animal Crossing: New Leaf # (Nintendo) {2012.11.08} (¥4.800) - 400.320 / 2.123.029 (+88%) "

Beautiful.



I'm I seeing things or did AC sell another 400K? :O

amazing 3DS sales!

WiiU did well but I was expecting it to go up a bit over last week



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

everything down from last year, still impressive none the less for the 3DS.
2013 vita needs to do better, its comps are there for the taking.

Platform Weekly (change) Total (week before Christmas Japan 2011)
3DS 497,223 (+34%) 4,112,037
PSP 99,440 (+55%) 18,542,736
Wii 89,513 (+48%) 12,180,272
PS3 74,792 (+17%) 7,596,395
PSV 74,104 (-77%) 396,592
DS 14,489 (+60%) 32,907,765
X360 4,075 (+28%) 1,555,715



So, that's a massive FW drop for Fist of the North Star over the first game, less than half the sales. Oh dear.

The AKB games are about 90k down over previous instalments as well. 30k of those buyers went to the Vita version I guess, but that's still a 60k ish drop.

And speaking of the Vita version, it's keeping up the tradition of selling about 20% of the amount of the PSP version where there are dual releases. Could be worse, I guess.

Really nice week for everything Mario related, though. And crazy week for Animal Crossing.
