YoY
PS4 : +133,370
WiiU : +74,614

PSV : -231,423
3DS : -577,667

It's going to be a harsh holiday for Vita and 3DS.  PS4 and Wii U should do well though

Only if we are talking Yoy :o

And Vita had a bad q4 last year. The I think the gap will easily shrink Yoy at this point so it's not that bad

3DS is up against the remodel last year, this year it's not got a whole lot going for it.  I'm expecting a beating, but that's not weird given what point of life it's in.

Vita I dunno.  It had a terrible Q4 absolutely, but I don't think things are a whole lot better this year.  The only thing it has going for it right now is that Minecraft seems to be giving it some legs, so it is up YoY at the moment.

Last year it had Phantasy Star in November (which oddly did very little to help) and Gundam in December.   This year it has God Eater in October and Gundam in December, plus possible Taiko will do something in December too.  That's not much difference, so we'd really have to bank on Minecraft making it a desirable present for parents to give their kids over the holidays.

Just noticed on GAF:

19./26. [PSV] Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen # <SLG> (Aqua Plus) {2015.09.24} (¥7.344) - 3.715 / 37.687 <80-100%> (+23%)

Anime effect kicking in.  PS3 and PS4 versions are MIA though.

Glad to see that Tokyo Xanadu and YNNK opened higher than 7th Dragon. Nothing can hinder Vita's leadership in JRPGs now.


Besides the fact the Dragon Quest XI is on the 3DS, so is Pokemon and Yokai Watch. Leadership means you get the big titles. PS4 has more claim at leadership, and rightfully so.

DQ is king, but Pokemon and Yokai Watch aren't really what people think of when you think JRPG.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Well they might not be what some people think, doesn't change the fact they are the highest selling Japanese Role Playing Games in Japan, something that leadership should have.

However if someone said PSVita was the leader of niche JRPG, I would agree....given I think PS4 will eventually overtake that namely worldwide.

In other news.... Splatoon got a soundtrack release in Japan today, and it debuted at #2 in the Oricon (equivalent to Billboard) charts with over 24k!

02 Game Music (Splatoon ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK -Splatune-) - 24,355

On topic: Yoshi is nowhere to be seen >:/ But Wii U still over 10k!
