And? This doesn't mean that PS Vita is selling bad in Japan.

I added a second part to my sentence: Since you said Wii U never had a chance, he responded with much like the Vita.  


We are talking about Japan here and not Global!

Cursed Japan separating 3DS SKUs making it look like Vita actually beat it


It did it by 3k units in Famitsu numbers.


Oh well I was looking at the first chart

Basically saying Wii U never had a chance (lifetime sales estimate 3mil) vs PS4 (8mil-9mil lifetime). Then he replied that Vita (lifetime 5mil-7mil) in the same situation against the 3DS (21mil+)

Sigh, I really shouldn't have to explain this since. When you said never had a chance, one assumes you meant against the PS4. Where Kowen responded saying neither did the Vita. Because Vita main competition is....ding ding the 3DS. 

Add: Don't even compare it to the PSP, you will just make yourself sad.

wrong forum.

PS4 being slightly down is a surprise no?

So presumably the ps4 now looks a lot better than it used to in comparison to other consoles Japanese first year or so?

It's certainly looking better than the ps3.

Senran Kagura... much better than expected. Down compared to Shinovi Versus (91k VGC vs. 75k M.Create) but given the massive drop to Senran Kagura 2 (46k), this seems like a recovery. In line with what was tweeted the other day too.

Bombas this week... pretty poor from One Piece (time to drop this series for a while I think); terrible from Disgaea (I hope this isn't the end for NIS) and Kagero doesn't even chart.

Hardware wise, PS4 is good - was expecting a little more from Vita; 3DS alright considering its age; WiiU is dire. Oh well.

Worth noting that the PS4 version was a full priced game (~$80), so not only were its numbers respectable, they also made more off each sale.

and Disgaea 5 flopped worse than I ever imagined. This is a series that has pushed 6 figures in Japan with every entry. I do hope that fans are still interested in the title in the coming weeks after they finish Bloodborne.

Great numbers for PS4 in Japan, the trend continues. Great job Sony !

I cant take you seriously then...

Vits is, and has been, a disaster in Japan.

 

You call 5-10M lifetime in Japan a disaster? Well then you haven't seen Xbox, Dreamcast or GameGear sales.
