episteme on 28 October 2015

The Three Musketeers kinda bombed, but that's not surprising because nobody asked for it.

Both Wii U and Xbox One with four digits at MC...

Looks like Splatoon bundle might have contributed to fall of the Wii U sales....

Should be back over 10K very soon.


We have two weeks of damage before it!:P This week and next one! :P

It may be due to the anticipation of splatoon bundles that is being released on the 12th of November...

Ooo, I wasn't aware of a bundle like that!

It might be the reason of the recent drop in Splatoon sales as well. 

To be honest, the Splatoon bundle isn't the same price as a normal Wii U. You do save a little bit on it versus New Wii U + New Splatoon though.

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

When was the last time the xb1 sold in the quadruple digits in Japan?



binary solo on 28 October 2015

Xb one gets 1000 in a single week. Impressive! That's normally a whole month's worth of sales. Halo driving some sales in Japan.

PS4 stays above 20K, that's a good sign. Just imagine if PS4 actually had some games selling in the top 5.
