Hang on let me get some tissue paper



Finally, apparently the Japanese trackers take a week off for New Years.  Looks like VGC needs to flip the PSP and PS3 numbers.



What is this I see? Fantasy Life didn't bomb? What kind of sorcery is this? /sarcasm

Wii U dropping is no surprise. It's doing ok. I would only be worried if it started doing Vita numbers or started getting around to that point (less than 40k). I expect a Nintendo Direct this month that shows all the titles releasing in Q1 otherwise the Q1 would just be 2 titles that are ports.

Also, 24 games in Top 30 are Nintendo.



Read my original story on Fictionpress (Shinigami Twin): http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2996503/1/Shinigami-Twin 

As well as my other one (Hell's Punishment): http://www.fictionpress.com/s/3085054/1/Hell-s-Punishment

Wii U is doing okay I guess.



Around the Network

I think it's pretty apparent that Wii U's worst enemy is the 3DS lol The Wii U is doing okay, next week we should have a temporary increase as we go in to New Year's sales. However, Nintendo will need to release a Nintendo Direct soon to show what upcoming games are coming to Japan, NA and EUR as we don't know when any of the games announced and unannounced games are releasing!



The PS3 holding surprisingly steady, even with the Wii U out.



17 3DS
2 PSP
3 Wii U
4 PS3
3 Wii
1 DS

Decent numbers for HW.

What happened to the Vita and Xbox360?


Busy starting Nintendo is doomed threads.

That is number of titles in the top 30 so naturally Vita and 360 did not get a game to sell well enough.
