Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan Sales- Week #01 2014: Vita rises, Wii U drops!

I hope this keeps up. Go Vita!

Its best for the market if the Vita suceeds, aswell as the Wii U. Lets fight the iphone and tablet fad and lets get some good portable games going.

Quite impressive Wii U numbers considering the holiday season is over. I was expecting a more dramatic drop to 30 000-40 000 systems. But with sales of around 60 000 systems i Japan in week 1 of 2014, Wii U actually has worldwide sales above 100 000 systems within their grasp. My estimate a couple of days ago was 75 000-100 000 systems in week 1.

Q1 could be quite interesting after all....

Too bad that in Japan Week 1 is still a Holiday. Wait for week 2 and we talk.

Next week Luigis mansion 2 for 3DS hits the 1m mark. congrats!



Tidied up the OP a bit. There's no real way to copy straight from NeoGAF without it spazzing out like that.

Very, very happy with Vita numbers. Sony hardware always gets a boost in Week 1 but this is the best Vita's performed since... launch, I think? Better than Vita 2000 & price drop weeks, at least.

FFX HD on Vita doing really well too. I'm so happy with that. Both it & Zelda sold better than I expected for games which are "sold out" too. Guess it happened after this week.

Puzzles and Dragons... when will it end? As people explained to me in COMG though, I actually want it to do well, because maybe it will encourage more dedicated handheld development and less mobile development.

Wii-U still holding on. Next week might be a bit of a bloodbath, though. Possibly for Vita as well.



More Wii U software sold than Vita tho.. Interesting.

 Is the Famitsu chart available? I always like looking at it... Dat Vita jump btw, 3DS software killing it and nice hold for Wii U. Also 360 over 1000, is that the first time since last holidays?



Always strange how this week Sony consoles perform better than Nintendo's



Good numbers for Vita!!!!



You have a fitting avatar.



Mario doing great for being a flop ;)

great Pokemon sales and hardowaru sales overall!
