Abysmal for 3DS, IMO.



Around the Network

Damn wii-u. If sony got vita turned around in the US it would do OK, but alas.

Still good relatively but down 200k yoy has to be a worry.



 

Horrible YoY drop for the 3DS. Decent hold for the Vita (Vita TV lol)

Wii U continues to drop fast. The rest is uninteresting.

Software is unimpressive as well.



Vita steady, and will probably stay like that (Disgaea 4 release this week). Wii U dropping like a rock, doesnt look very good for it since its even down YoY.

Ufff 3ds..., i don't remember being so low in years in Japan....I thought i knew why people didn't buy home consoles in Japan was because they were buying handhelds instead, but now........., even handhelds sell badly. Every gamer in Japan just disappeared or what????, everyone there just play on mobiles????

I wish i could say all these low sales right now were because people are awaiting PS4 release but i'm afraid that would be lying to myself.

For all the horrible decisions and poor support the WiiU received, the 3DS got amazing games and great strategies. I simply can't fathom why it is selling so poorly at this point.

I am afraid it is reaching a sudden market saturation. Also, it is probably cliche at this point to blame third parties for Nintendo's recent failures, but the fact Japanese developers are abandoning the 3DS is unbelievable.

Wii U and Vita stabilising a bit but both weak ass, Wii U will probably drop below 7,5k before DK, Vita won't hold the 20k baseline.

Are we seeing the same numbers? Wii U dropped almost 30% and the Vita is holding pretty strongly plus only being 14k off the 3ds is impressive.


Well ok, Wii U had a drop of around 2k units, 3k units drop last week, you could say it's not stabilising. But Vita holding strong? I wouldn't say that, around 3,5k drop since last week. Also bragging about being relatively close to 3DS, when it has pretty terrible numbers?



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Pretty low to be honest. The market needs to be revitalize and I guess the PS4 will go some way in doing that, at least for a while.

Wii U keeps going south but it was expected after the trend of the last couple of weeks.

Is that a X360 title in the charts or do my eyes deceive me?

I think 3DS sales were very frontloaded tbh, what with the big price cut. It shipped less last year in 2013, than it did in 2011 and 2012. Unless sales are up 15% YOY WW then it's peaked in its second year (and barely at that). Very bizzare.
