Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan Sales - Media Create, Famitsu & Dengeki Week 52

I hear murmurs from Japan GAF saying Nintendo massively undershipped LOZ:ALBW as it was instantly sold out. Goes to show that retailers let themselves be influenced by the horrid sales of WWHD when ordering copies, or perhaps Nintendo themselves didn't have massive faith in the title.


FFX/X-2 for the Vita and Ps3 have also been sold out instantly. So both are experiencing stock issues.

3DS sales already peaked in Japan in just year two, worrying sign.

Also this is the second major release in which 3DS hardware was down in light of said release (puzzles and dragons was the other)

vita on the other hand, positive y/y gains and will blow past the 1.1 million it did last year this year.

based on this trend i can confidently say the Vita will start outselling the 3DS right when the HDS releases!

So what's the deal? It's not Wednesday!

Anyway, a sad drop for Wii U, a bigger than expected rise for Vita, but a worrying drop for 3DS. After all, Zelda came out this week!


There are 3 new entries in the top 5 there, just about everythng in the top 10 moved down as a result.

So how many non nintendo games on chart?

Since you asked:

Top 30

17 out of 30 games where not published by Nintendo. 

13 games where published by Nintendo.

1 game was published by a rival 1st party publisher.

16 games by 3rd party publishers.

So yes, Nintendomination. Pretty comforting since we haven't had anything but bad Nintendo news latelyXD

Japan shuts down Dec 31st to Jan 3rd.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

How the heck is the Vita FF10 nearly outselling the PS3 version :/ Japanese gamers are so strange..



"How the heck is the Vita FF10 nearly outselling the PS3 version :/ Japanese gamers are so strange.."

That's the twin pack. It has ffx and x-2. FFX Vita only sold 22k according to Famitsu. 

And of course it's gonna sell well. It's a portable Final Fantasy X and X-2 international. 

Is it strange that persona 4 golden sold well on the Vita?



Nice opening for ALBW considering it's sold out

(White / Black) [Nintendo] family premium set + Wii Fit U can play immediately Wii U
31日10月2013年

The heck is that? Is that hardware or software?

Wii Fit U + Balance Board

That does not include the Balance Board. That bundle includes the Wii Fit U premium system along with the bundled NSMBU/Wii Party U, Wii Remote w/sensor, as well as the Wii Fit U fitmeter and Wii Fit U. You have to purchase the balance board separately (or already own it from Wii Fit/Wii Fit Plus.)

It's basically like the other bundle they are selling except for 2,000 yen more you get the Wii Fit U fitmeter and Wii Fit U software.

Thought that didn't release for like a month...

It doesn't this is the digital version, a balance board and the WiiU premium set if i'm remembering correctly



bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet
