That's a great first week for Nioh!

PS Vita still managing to sell ~25k weekly is amazing too!

Am i the only one that thinks the Switch will cannibalize 3DS sales?

It jsut might. It will be interesting to see how things play out!

They really should take off the charts PS3, 360 and Wii U. I mean, with less than five digit numbers it's time to move on. They should do it when they update for Switch.



Basically FF XV will not be dethroning FF VII sales wise (or critically). And S-E said they wouldn't remake VII until something surpassed it, lol.

Ps vita > Wii u. It won the less loser war

Why though?

Switch doesn't have bc and cost 100$ more than a New 3ds xl and 220$ more than a 2DS...

Nintendo France expects 700k 3ds units to be sold this year, like 2016 and 2015 and 800k switches!

Switch isn't being seemed as 3DS successor by the majority yet! Let's wait for Nintendo to kill 3DS and perhaps make a more portable, affordable and durable switch version, if it really replaces 3DS too.

 

For reference, 3DS sales increased in Japan in the week of switch launch and wyoy wans't much down, and the YTD in neck to neck with last year, to think,  it has hit an almost utter point of saturation in Japan, i.e there is no much room from growth as in the west.  The late  but better than never, 2DS release in japen has helped a lot, also remember that more and more will be upgrading to a new 3DS XL, which is still at its initial price afte two years  of its presence.

It just had a huge holiday season in its 6th ( for its 6th year and alledgly being succeded in 2017 )   thanks to Pokemon go+Pokemon Sun and Moon, that caused stock problems in the west, especially in the usa, demand was higher than the amount of units that Nintendo produced! Nintendo has increased 3DS sales forecast by 1m every quarter since April ( FY16 Q1  beginning, FY16 end in March 2017), 5.2m->6.2m>7.2m, Nintendo underestimated the power of Pokemon.

3DS sold 7.7m in 2014 ( new 3ds xl in autumn in Japan ) , 7.5m in 2015 ( New 3ds xl  year in the west ) and 7.4m in 2016 ( Pokemon go+ Sun and moon )  Calendar years.



What the hell? Sales charts on vgchartz?! I must have entered an alternate world or something!

In VGC... In reality though? Are you sure? ( use vgc for anything else, except psv, trust me.) 

 

An erroneous huge adjustment up (+1m ) in 2015, messed the tracking by inflating the sales extrapolation ( which previously was proved to be quite good ! )

Edit: Although, still psv might have surpassed wii u.

Yeah I can agree with that. I am surprised they have lasted this long!
