Jesus...the 3DS is an absolute monster in Japan, at the expense of the poor Vita.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

17 3DS titles on the chart is insane.

Last gen proved Japan could hold an even bigger monster and still have a competent rival handheld. Blame Sony for Vita's demise.

I know right? :s In all seriousness, what can Sony do though to help its sales? I fear a price drop will not help it

3DS beasting as usual and Wii U doing quite fine I'd say... Really, right now Nintendo's got Japan in its pocket...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Do you get a sense that they are not even competitors any more?  Japan decided to ignore Vita as if MSFT made it.

Decent numbers for HW.


What happened to the Vita and Xbox360?

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


Ohhh, sorry - I thought those numbers meant something else ;p

I'm still new/newbish when it comes to sale threads ;p

No problem it is my fault for not adding labels, usually noctis has it in the OP but he does not seem to be around.

Not really a 6 year old console selling 20k less than a new console with Mario and Monster Hunter as launch titles:0 if it sells 3DS numbers than you have my permission to say that.
