Boring week. Nintendomination, like every week.


You call it Nintendomination when the Wii U has almost the same numbers as the PS3 which is already 8 years out. lol

And the 3DS outsells everything else. Don't forget about it. So yeah, NIntendomination.

Well, then it is 3DS Domination and not Nintendomination.

Whatever, it's made by the same company. So they still win, like always.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

I wonder how Bloodborne will shake things up in Japan. PS4 is set to put 2015 in Japan on fire,



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

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.


I suppose that's a fair argument.  I was assuming more that it would've re-ignited sales somewhat combined with the slew of massive software that hit during Q4 2014, but perhaps that was too lofty a goal to aim for.

3DS has actually seen a fairly similar sales pattern to DS in Japan, just on a smaller scale.

DS end of 2005-5.6m (13 months) vs 3DS 2011 (10 months)-4.3m

DS 2006-8.4 million (+50%) vs 3DS 2012-5.5 million (+27%)

DS 2007-7.2 million (-14%) vs 3DS 2013-5.1 million (-7%)

DS 2008-4.2 million (-41%) vs 3DS 2014-3.0 million (-42%)

DS 2009-4.0 million (-6%) vs 3DS 2015-???? (Roughly flat thus far)

DS 2010-2.9 million (-28%) vs 3DS 2016-????

DS 2011-0.6 million (-77%) vs 3DS 2017-????

DS Lite was available for 9 months in 2006 while 3DS XL only for 5 months in 2012 so that partially explains the YoY difference between them in that year but DS in 2007/2008 is very similar to 3DS in 2013/2014 and so far 2009 & 2015 are tracking very similar so it seems that New 3DS has had a very similar affect as DSi.

If this trend continues and the next-handheld releases early 2017 than we can come up with a safe guess for 3DS sales this year and going forward 2015-2.7 million, 2016-1.9 million, 2017-0.4 million. So 3DS should be able to sell roughly 5 million more lifetime.


Don't worry zorgy!New3ds/xl still outpaces dsi ;)!At least famitsu has it yoy up and oh my gosh there is a f@cking discrepancy in YTD between the two trackers!:P

PS4 is holding up. At least, sales are not under 10K, which was common last year. Vita's sales are alright, but it really needs some big games. Wii U sales need to be better than this. X1.... I knew it would eventually sell that low, but not this soon. Sales that low will affect how much Japanese software will come out on the X1 (of course, the big 3rd parties like SE, Capcom, etc. will still support it).

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
