COD really flopped HARD in Japan, especially given how many points it had



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Disappointing for Smash and Wii U HW. Last year was bad and now it looks good compared to this year.

PS3+PS4 almost PS3 2013. Really poor games this week though.

3DS still good and pokemon still good.

Vita not so good, needed more then just PSN.



Wow aside from 3ds everything seems.... bad :-/

Expected alot more from SSBU, damn.



NVM :-/

Looks like Smash 3DS really did hurt Smash U in Japan.

That's definitely the conclusion that's easy to make. Bad FW, bad HW boosts. A pretty rough week for SW.

COD released a few weeks ago. This is a second release dubbed in Japanese, rather than the WW version subtitled in Japanese.

Seriously though, that's some pretty poor performances all round from software this week. Smash'll have legs, but it's still an underwhelming week (the others won't have legs).

On the plus side, 3DS hardware is good this week, and Vita held on better than I expected.

Yeah, Smash on the WiiU is weak compared to Smash on the 3DS (that will be the other way round in the West). How many weeks until weekly sales of Smash 3DS beat Smash WiiU? Not many I assume.

Derby Stallion GOLD on three? The second best new release of the week, only beaten by Smash, although also Guilty Gear and Samurai Warriors released? Sorry, that is ridiculous! I hope next week at least is dominated again by Pokemon, Yukai Watch and Monster Hunter (or some new releases).

Forget about home consoles in Japan, definetely.
it´s all about 3DS and Vita there. Well... a lot more about 3ds than Vita actually...



Geez, is there some kind of major economic depression going on in Japan or have the Japanese decided they don't like video games anymore?

Derby Stallion is interesting. It used to be a huge series back in the day, like 2 million seller huge. It's a shell of its former self now.
