and thats why Happy Home Designer exists and a 'proper' Metroid doesn't.

Nintendo have struck gold whilst the vocal minority continue to suffer.

Holy. Shit. Animal Crossing. I expected it to sell a lot of software, but I didn't think it would be a big system seller. Awesome!

Splatoon and Yoshi holding well, and the Wii U is still above 10k! I hope the August update and ads attract even more people.

IA/VT did well, and I didn't expect that much out of Corpse Party so that's pretty good.


I didn't expect it to push that many 3DSs either, but on afterthought, it makes sense. AC HHD has a fair bit of amiibo incorporation, right? So I think many people upgraded from older 3DS models, because the New 3DS has an internal NFC reader so you won't have to be bothered by using an adapter. That's what I think anyway.


An explanation could be that,but you forgot that there was a New 3ds xl and New 3ds bundle with the game!:P

Animal Crossing just reminding everything how it's done. Spin-off or not, it doesn't matter to Animal Crossing it seems, as it will just crush the lifetime sales of most games in Japan within a couple days without remorse. Making this an amiibo-centric game, or, reliant on amiibo cards anyway, was apparently a pretty good idea, because it sold N3DSsess...ses... by the truckload.

So... Amiibo Festival might not be after all a bad idea from a business standpoint.

With these numbers and barely no games, PS4 makes me hope for the best of home console gaming in Japan and believe it will have a bright future full of J-oriented titles that so many like me adore here in the west. Keep up the good fight PS4



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

I did the maths right now...

PS4 Up 230% YoY
PS4 Up 6% WoW

More two weeks to cross 700k in 2015
More three weeks to cross 1.7m lifetime

My estimates now put PS4 at 2.6-2.8m as of December 31, 2015.

Good luck Edmarcio!:P I will bow to you if you will be right,but I don't feel that I will,it's a fairly bold a prediction,in my opinion,because for you this might be a given!I just say that because ps4 will be at 1.7m++++ by the end of August!Then it needs 900k in september-october-november-december for 2.6m,225k by average on each month(in Japan,holidays effect is only in december),think of that,you might reconsider things!:P Okay,lets say that MGS TPP will be a big hit and push 200k(50k per week) ps4 units in september(which is way unprobable and crazy),so ps4 at 1.9m,what will push another 700k,between october-november-december,okay december is a holiday month,ergo lets  expect the irrational 300k (75k per week) ps4 sold  then,so 400k in october-november for 2.6m  by the end of the year? Can you see that estimating 2.6m-2.8m is utterly insane?

Don't fall to the trap of using the current wyoy up precentage,for the upcoming months,that's extremely misguided(if it's what you're doing),things can change anytime!

 I'm expecting it to be at 2.2m-2.3m,and that's optimistic(disclaimer:if sony do a price cut,it's not my fault if I will be off or what I call  optimistic will be proved a hyperbole!)What will do the wonders that you imply?

Guys, about hardware, calm down. It is Holidays in Japan.
3 weeks to go, and all console will dropped like a rock... 3DS more than The other probabily. :(

The game had a live action movie to help it a long a little:

Tbh, the sales are a little bit better than I was expecting too (about 4k), but it's in the same situation as something like Atelier Rorona 3DS where in terms of forum expectations it did a little better than what we would've thought, but in absolute terms it's questionable whether it's worth considering any further stuff in the franchise on the platform.

Could've been worse though, anyway.

Yeah, I mean, to be fair, isn't it just a port/remaster of an old PSP game? I'm not sure that's the best tool to judge if there's an audience on the platform. Maybe if the next entry was multiplat and it performed very poorly on the 3DS, but I think over 6k for a port isn't all that bad.

That is true, but these companies are almost always start with the first in the series (usually at least). It didn't flop, but the sell through isn't good for a title that won't have legs.
