LOL so much for Fairy Fencer's 50k limited edition shipment being sold out.

FFF IS sold out. There was never such a big shipment to begin with.


Yeah I know, but the info came from sinobi's blog. Some people around here love to take him seriously.

 

 

He was so absolutely dead wrong on Sen no Kiseki, too. About as useful as a GAFfer!



creamsugar from gaf says that the Wii U is dead dead, i've never seen him post outside npd...kinda crazy. The Wii U is already priced significantly cheaper than it is in the west, hopefully the bundles will help out.



I thought Pokemon would have sold more in Japan than that. Good for Vita, it has to do good to remain relevant, no good for Wii U, 3DS sales a disappointment, expected more. I guess most of the Pokemon buyers already had a 3DS.



Pokemon still pretty massive after all these years.

The strange thing is that when MH4 came out I saw people playing it everywhere, but I haven't seen anyone running around playing Pokemon yet.

Impressive for the Vita, i pegged its sales at ~56k for the week and it even topped those somewhat lofty estimates (from a base of 3.5k). With a major title being released every month for the system for the next couple months, this period should finally give the vita the breathing room it needs to become a viable option for developers in Japan for the future (even though it already was).

Why would you say it's not viable if you know it is? A significant number of Vita games are already planned for this year and the next.



Pokemon X/Y opening at around 75% of what B&W did. Interesting...



Wow, RIP Wii U. I don't think bundles will make much of a difference when they come out and even if they do, the effect will not be sustained.

3DS is a beast.

Total opposites: Highest and lowest selling current gen hardware, with the embarrassment that PS3 is outselling the Wii U by around 4:1 and the pride that 3DS is outselling Vita by around 4:1

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Such big gap between Famitsu and Media Create numbers...
anyway, pretty impressive week for the 3ds hardware: 200k+
