Knack is really providing some good legs to the PS4 it's really astonishing seeing a game that got so much hate in the west dominating in the east like that.



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I don't understand the bump in vita sales. Is that thanks to the new low selling games or maybe to the ps4? At any rate, really glad it's doing better than last year overall. As for ps4. Shortages?

Yakuza has already sold about 300k. Is that good for a Yakuza game?


The Vita sold almost 200k in the next 4 weeks in Japan last year.  it will probably be down YOY YTD by end of March.


no it wont, a new Vita bundle is coming out today in Japan (March 6th) in time for its big hitter this month

DQ M2 has better legs than the first one, i wonder if it can reach and pass it
WiiU stable. Vita also. but both low.
3DS bad, but it is selling SW at least. it needs ahuge game like FF to start growing again

Good point. I still think that these sales are better/healthier. Having a strong month and then dropping considerebly is not very encouraging to deveopers considering making games for it. Hopefully it won't drop below 10k any time soon.

Japan <3 Knack.... Best day ever :')

Wait 'til next week's numbers when Knack craters now that the PS4 w/free Knack bundled units are all gone.

Everything rose from last week, but still down YoY. Vita down the most YoY. (62k -> 23k)

Great opening for Harvest Moon. Seems like the best it's ever opened to, maybe?

Maybe slightly, but it does have big releases coming in march and a lot of momentum carrying it. I think it will do around 160k.

That bundle doesn't seem so great. It's the Vita, 8gb memory card, travel pouch along with some pre-installed demos and free to play games for 20,454 yen. I bought the holiday bundle they had this past December/January which included the Vita, 16gb memory card, case, screen protector and a PS1 game download voucher for just a little more than that.

The new bundle is only available in Black as well. The Value Pack I picked up was available in 3 different colors; Light Blue/white, Lime Green/white (the one I got), or Pink/black.
