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

 


You are right, home consoles are going to perform considerably worse than the previous generation in Japan... however, my comment was focused on the PS4/Wii U situation because I think the latter is doing extra abysmally considering the vastly-superior software library it has established in Japan so far.

What the hell happened to the Wii U?

MK8 bundle announcement. It will probably go to 2-3K before it releases.

Really???

Like 1 year ago when is dropped 2,500 before sell 40,000 !

Possibily 20,000 week of MK8 bundle resaled?



All these double dippers.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

makes me wonder what if Monster Hunter would have stayed on Playstation and Monster Hunter 4 G was a PS4 exclusive with a big budget...

men i always wanted to play Monster Hunter on the PS2 before it was even released (thanks to those previews on magazines) and i never got to, (couldnt find the game here in colombia), and now its a handheld only game and i hate handhelds i cant stand the small screen... hence why i bought a PSTV...

Not anymore. They discovered the secret of milking loyal customers ;)

In that case it doesn't matter how big the actual fanbase is if they just make them buy multiple things :)

WiiU is dommed but Nintendo isn't thanksfully...



When you see ps4/xbox1/wii u line up it's normal that they don't sell well ,ps4 will resolve this problem in 2015



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Wii U is going to go down until the mario kart 8 bundles hit the stores. There is no point buying one now when you can get a better deal a few weeks down the tracks.

And it appears that the New 3DS is cannibalizing the vita and pretty much everything else. Kinda feel sorry for the vita especially, japan was the only region it was doing ok'ish, now it is at it's death bed

New 3DS sales are good, but year over year, 3DS is probably going to fall way short of last year and I don't think 3DS is doing better in the West this year over last either. I don't think Nintendo will hit their sales forecasts for the 3DS for the fiscal year.


Why are there comments like these :-/  We know its going to be down, its obviously with a 1.5mil+ gap, can we just be happy after the 25k-30k weekly baseline has jumped up majorly?

No need to put 3ds down^ Not everytime 3ds is mentioned you have to bring that up (West in a Japanese thread or Forecast for WW)


Maybe if you don't like discussing well ... sales, this isn't the site for you.
