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

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.

...What? The Wii U can't be doing "just fine" unless it sells as well as the 3DS?

You realize it is virtually impossible for a home console to sell as quickly as the 3DS in Japan, right? I'd love to know what you think would be "great" for Wii U in Japan...

130k per week for a solid 2 years would be great, But unfortunately it will never happen.

That's ridiculous, that's over 13 million in 2 years. I don't think any home console has EVER done that in Japan. I'm not even sure any handheld has ever done that! Given the 3DS is closing in on 10 mil as it's approaching its 2-year anniversary.

You have to adjust your expectations, and your definition of "great," because what you're saying is complete nonsense. You might as well say the Wii U has to sell a kajillion units in its first 2 years to be doing "great," because 13 mil in Japan in 2 years is not real.

That's it, I'm calling the police. Y'all just standing there and watch the rape happen and nobody does anything. I'm disgusted!

Seriously, those numbers are pretty nice for Nintendo. I'm just disappointed that seemingly E.X. Troopers really did bomb hard. I downloaded the PS3 demo and it's pretty good.

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Surprisingly good numbers for Animal Crossing and Fantasy Life, nice PS3 sales in addition!

Sad to see PS2 go, though.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

It never ceases to blow my mind how Sony manages to sell so many PS3s in Japan with so few games. Seriously, what are all these new PS3 buyers doing with their PS3s??

Also blows my mind how much the 3DS dominates. I expected decent sales for the system, but overall a pretty big decline from DS, when it's really performing similar to the DS's massive numbers (well in Japan at least)

They bought a lot of games (12M YTD for PS3, only -5% YOY).
