For a home console, in Japan, which only big seller at the moment is Mario Kart 8, 10k is pretty good, if it was a handheld, then it would be bad, but it is quite good for a home console, specially in the state in which Japan's home console market is.

I don#t expect 100Kish. But it should be even for a home console something along the lines of 20-30K if it does 'pretty good'.

Vita/3DS are barely reaching 30k a week this year (and this is Vita's Peak Year so far).

I think 10k-15k for Home Consoles are pretty good. I mean Vita has the most japanese support and this week its already under 20k

Almost 10k for Wii U by Media Create, pretty good, and not that far away from the Vita in sales, which even if it is slow, it is better than where the Wii U is now at the moment. The Wii U should be over 10k next week, thanks to Dragon Quest X All in One Pack; and maybe around 20k the other week, thanks to Zelda Musou?

Almost 10K is pretty good? Do you remember the time Vita was at this level?

It isn't really good even by that metric to be honest. The Wii U is still down year over year in Japan despite having Mario Kart 8.

3ds is strong while the ps4 still is getting weaker. They need deep down there.

Deep Down wont stop those PS4 sales from being deep down on the charts. Its a download F2P game with average receptions from the demos at events.

Lol, I see what you did there.

Sonipro as bad as I expected from Tsutaya. ImageEpoch must be in ruins and they had it coming.

I'll just send a reminder in case they still don't remember who are their costumers.

 

 

 

You mad bro?

I sacrificed 23 chickens, 12 goats and two virgins to the gaming gods, and PS4 is still selling like shit. I don't know what else to try.

You need to sacrifice rare commodities, virgins in gaming are an offense to the gods, they are too abundant. ;)

 

OT: So, YW 2 is getting to 2m next week, really impressive. And the first one has reduced the sales but is still in the top of both charts.

It appears that both WiiU and PS4 have found a level, hopefully they'll only go up from there.

Other than that, it's pretty much the same thing. Depressing same.

Nor is it bad. Well with its only big release till now being Mario Kart 8, it is no surprise.



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

Might as well copy my comment from GAF and add a bit:

Those are solid holds for the 3DS & WiiU with no new releases. Baselines reached?

PS4 too. Maybe it's not going to tumble into WiiU/Vita territory at worst.

Bit disappointed with the Vita drop, but it seems to be a very tempramental system in terms of sales. Weeks of game releases see increases/holds; weeks of no releases see tumbling sales.

Nice holds for Taiko no Tatsujin and Mario Kart too. Good for them.

I'm kinda glad there weren't too many new releases this week so we could at least see the second week sales of Corpse Party & Tokyo New World Record. They're like mirrors in terms of sales, lol.

Terrible for Sonipro though.

I'm glad SAO is still legging it out, too.  Looks like Persona is gone for now, though.

Also, thank you for reserving the second post OP <3

Hmm PS4 below 5k next week maybe?

This was the week that PS4 was supposed to go under 5k!

It's pretty bad honestly, how can you not beat last year's YTD with Mario Kart 8 this year? Last year was horrible. 

If consoles are this irrelevant in Japan, then they're pretty much not worth discussing, it's a non-market.

Because Mario Kart 8 came out in the mid of the year, with no bundle, and with no free game promotion, after a tax hike, that threw the Japanese market, to very low numbers, specially the consoles with their higher price point, even lower, than what they already were. So it is not bad, for the current state of the Japanese market.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. There should have been a much bigger boost hardware wise from a game like MK8. 



Damn, man! I just can't stop looking at those beautiful MK8 legs!
