GTA V keeps performing beyond my expectations, this time on PS4.  Good for it.

I think it is also one of the few western games that sold a million over there. Think GTA V reached it already combined. 

Well if we are talking home consoles then yeah its one of few games (not made by Nintendo) to reach 1m in Japan 7th gen onwards.

I think you misunderstood me because that is what I said :p Unless there are recent western games that did sell 1m+ on handhelds in Japan? 


I guess Minecraft Playstation Vita Edition could sell 1 million. :)




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Well this is kinda bleak. Wii U plummeting well down as you'd expect, and PS4 not doing too hot either (but better).



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Vita TV outselling X1. Interesting.


Interesting? I would say exciting! I'm getting a boner just by looking at these horny numbers!

I'm not allowed to say "exciting" because that would mean that I prefer one system to sell more than another system. That's straight up flaming a console People get banned for that.

Ps4 holds decently. Ps3 almost equal to WiiU is quite decent!

Kenka Bomba aka the sad state of mature games on 3DS. No wonder Vita and PS4 get all the support, this being confirmed by the good hold.

Praying for 200k+ next week for Tales.

The Kenka games have never sold that great though. Highest selling sold 200K on PSP in 2008 and the sales went downhill from there. The most recent one, released on PSP in 2012, sold a 100k and opened with numbers similar to this one. Has more to do with the franchise than with the 3DS really.

Well then.

Software wise, Kenka Bombcho as I expected.  I'm very disappointed.  Although I've only played one game in this series, I really liked it, and I'd be sad if this was the last one.  It actually looked like a very good entry.

The Diabolik Lovers game is another PSP -> Vita otome port which seem to be making up its library these days.  Wonder if these sales are enough for Idea Factory to keep pumping them out.

GTA V keeps performing beyond my expectations, this time on PS4.  Good for it.

And Final Fantasy Explorers up this week... stock problems last week?

 

Hardware wise it's a bleaker picture.  XB1 is absolutely dead and will likely be discontinued from retailers soon I would imagine,. unless something is done.  3DS is commendable for the state the market is in these days, but the New 3DS doesn't seem to have really done what it was supposed too.  PS4 is falling slower than I expected but both it and Vita and in pretty poor shape.

And WiiU, well...


I think New 3DS did what it was supposed to, stop sales from plummeting. Last year, 3DS was down roughly 50% YoY thru the first 3 quarters. 3DS has been close to flat YoY for 4 months now, without the redesign we would still be looking at massive YoY declines. U could argue that it was Monster Hunter+Pokémon+Youkai Watch that prevented it but I would have to assume the fanbase for those games are already firmly on 3DS due to all those series already having huge selling installments on it.

I don't think it was expected that New 3DS was going to cause massive YoY gains so I'm pretty sure it has done it's job thus far.
