I think these numbers are depressing.

Japan only cares about the 3DS and a little bit about the Wii U and Vita. I think everything else is doomed there. Maybe FFXV and KH3 can jolt the PS4 back to better numbers.

I said that localizing and staffing JP for X1 was a waste of money and people disagreed. Here it is looking at maybe 50k lifetime before eol is implemented by stores who cannot afford to dedicate valuable shelf space to a dead end. The argument that they needed to be there for devs is hollow as well, $ talks, just buy the JP dev deals you want and skip the launch.

These numbers are expected, consoles have a bleak future in Japan.



Soundwave on 23 October 2014

Taking Monster Hunter away from Sony is the only smart tactical thing Iwata has managed to do in the last 4 years or so. It basically caused any competetion from the PSP/Vita to become irrelevant. To bad for Nintendo that smartphones/tablets have done a number on the general portable market though.

"transfer very" at #33 sounds like an amazing game.

Looks like the N3DS and N3DSLL weren't enough to stop the YoY decline.

Well Im glad nobody expected that it would right? I mean NOBODY, Well maybe except for me..... Oh wait No I didnt either. At least 3DS is beating everything else combined by over 77%. Its the only thing that can actually get soooo many million sellers!

Too bad for a measly YoY decline, Oh well its still the 2nd fastest selling System ever in japan. It'll also be up YoY in the last quarter of the year by a huge margin


Well, it still dropped 46% from last year and that decline will increase as the weeks go by.


1. Like i previously said nobody expected it to (N3DS+XL to stop YoY decline). Meaning your post was unnecessary.

2. Its not going to increase, 2014>2013 final quarter for the 3ds.

When im right about #2, of course your going to ignore it and go right back to yearly decline XD

No, you won't be right about # 2.

For some reason, it translates Toukiden Kiwami as that.

@ ryuzaki

It's just going to sell out of its remaining shipment and be done with.
