Amazing threat. And also amazing are the people at Bandai Namco, they're such a great third party! Publishing games very often, and for every console out there... They've published at least one title.

Second half will be interesting, I believe 3DS' big releases will carry Nintendo to have a bigger market share than SONY when the year's over.

Umm... am I reading that right? 2015 Wii U numbers are about to catch those ones of 2014, even though we are only at the middle of the year?

My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

It's comparing the 1st half of 2015 Wii U numbers with the 1st half of 2014 numbers, not the entire year.

I'm personally suprised at how well Splatoon and Dragon Quest Heroes sold in Japan; also curious at seing PSVita 4th in total software this year...

Nice work!

But the Famitsu first half of 2015 Top 100 will be released in two weeks. You should've waited a little for updated software data. Still I guess you can update once will be released.
