WTH Japan!!? 83k 3DS with Pokemon + Pokemon Bundle +Holiday+ New3DS?  I'm starting to worry about the impact of smart phone on gaming devices in Japan! 

I wouldn't have been disturb by Vita HW if it wasn't holliday because the Value Packs that will be released tomorrow with a big title and some other games.

It's looking worse and worse everyday. I wish good luck to Nintendo and Sony next year, specially to PS4 since will start to get some japanese games. But smartphones are here to stay.

According to Chris, their expectations for second week were:
XY 2nd week = ORAS 2nd week.

01./01. [3DS] Pokemon X / Y # (Pokemon Co.) {2013.10.12} (¥4.800) - 473.151 / 2.339.721 (-75%)

ORAS to sell about 400k-500k this week? Dayum, that holiday sweet spot :0

I don't get it. Why would a Pokemon fan buy a 3ds now and not last year or at any other point since X/Y launched? Plus, 3ds has sold so much already that it's sales are mostly gonna be people buying a second 3ds/new3ds.

I mean, that would make sense to me. 

It is Holiday so poeple simple wait for a reason to buy a 3DS, and here we have 4 reasons to get one.  Even vita last year november did 90k on GE 2 week because they were waiting for reason to get the slim Vita so I expected 3DS to be at least 120k 3DS for this week since it had supply problems until now. And about Pokemeon fans here we have fans of the old ORAS on advanced who decided to get this one, so maybe they bought a 3ds for it

Oh Vita :(

Phantasy Star Nova is next week I believe, lets see how that does. The system needs more big hitters.

PS4 obviously has a decent future ahead of it if this is how its selling with no japanese centric titles

Weak 3DS boost shows the hardware has reached its maturity, we've had every big franchise under the sun now and things are going downwards. At this point Nintendo be looking at a phone-DS hybrid for their next handheld system?


Obviously?...teigaga face the truth!As for 3ds face the truth again!Japan's recession affects console sales!ps4 hasn't a decent future if 3ds doesn't get a big boost even if the pokemon games are remakes...!

Ps4 has no big japanese games right now yet sales are increasing(even third party Western games are boosting PS4 over there)

 

Imagine when a Dragon quest/Persona/Final fantasy come out

11k is not nice sales, especially this late in November. If it had managed 30k (in the current japanese market) then that statement would have been factual.
