The 3ds sales have pac-maned Japan. That is pretty crazy still.

That's some poor Chaos Rings sellthrough. They must've shipped a lot.

Well the games were pretty cheap on smartphones...10$ for all of them on plenty occasions.    Just wished we had numbers for the smartphone sales (must be good if they keep on making them).



Vita sales are terrible... now sell bad even in Japan.



You know something is not right with your market when even the old version of a system that has just recently had a new and improved version released, which basically makes buying the old version absolutely pointless, still easily outsells every other system.

the evil within is next week?
i read about a ps4 bump but the ps4 is back below 100k again

100K or 10K?

 

In any case, i predict 18K for PS4 next week.

3DS is still beasting. The new model is sold-out from what I've heard, so I expect it to remain stable next week and continue to pull off impressive numbers.

PS4 > Wii U is just sad for Nintendo, and shows that the PS4 is just waiting for the right software to take off. Next year will be very interesting for both of them.


what it actually shows is how absolutely terrible home console numbers will CONTINUE to be in Japan.

Wii > WiiU

PS3 > PS4

360 > ONE

 

lifetime? for sure

gen8 < 50% < gen 7

 

not even the mighty ps4 will or can save japan

lol, its baseline all year was 25k-30k, and its still there. But its only probably there because N3DS XL is a very hot item and its sold out. I mean most retailers had none in stock all week intill Saturday and then Sold out again on Sunday XD

Now we know why N3DS wont launch in the West (excluding Australia) this year. Japan needs all it can get :0

okay so the themed evil within ps4 are tracked in the next week chart

 

not sure about a 100% bump. the withe one did very! well percentage wise.

could be true. ill go with ~15k+



Vita is soooo low. PS4 is doing decrntly for a homeconsole I guess.

What the hell happened to the Wii U?

3DS still does good.
