Nier is still holding really well.

Also PS4 is back above the 3DS, MH effect didn't last much

Check again ...  Do you have vision problems, are you bad at maths, or do you exclude 2DS ? Hah!

It only works if you include the pro but exclude the 2DS, wich is some seriously warped logic.

I don't know how to interpret Switch at 45K. Obviously it's good, but is it more than good?

 

It's an ok number with no new releases. I think switch will sell around 60k a week once mk8 releases. 



Think for yourself, question authority

PS4:  25, 2006


:P looks like a typo to me.

Why would should it be question that the ps4 sold a quarter million this week?



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Another good week for PS4! We've seen good growth year-on-year in the first quarter. Now, however, we're looking at a bit of a drought in software in the coming months, so this is where the challenge begins. It'll be a hard trek but the PS4's got a good chance of hitting 2 million in Japan 2017.

PS4 still around the 30k.
Im surprised 3DS sales arnt seemingly effected more by the Switch.

Well a new monster hunter game recently was released and the 3DS still has the potential for one more good year like with most Nintendo handhelds, they still do pretty well for a while after the next system is out. The 3DS will be offically dead in the water in Japan when the Switch gets Pokemon, Animal Crossing and Monster Hunter.

Yeah... In the west!

Things are different in Japan!

3DS has sold almost 500k so far  and it's yoy up, while its predecessor and percursor of its predecessor were extremly down yoy in the same time frame!

3DS is lucky, switch hardware nature ( which reminds the wii u ) ,  lack of 3DS  bc, software and hardware prices very big difference, 3DS still being supported and switch doesn't have the handheld ips yet!

Hence, the majority of people ( OUTSIDE GAMING FORUMS ) see it more like a wii u successor for the moment... Thus, wii u sales have fell of a cliff even since the switch release date announcement!

Even if Nintendo ceases the software support, 3DS could keeping doing well due to switch being overly expensive compared to 3DS/2DS!

Some people will prefer to spend 5000 yen for Pokemon s or m and 10.000 yen for a 2ds than 7000 yen for a Pokemon switch and 29.000 yen for switch.

And for the average handheld console  gamer, graphical superiority doesn't count, at least it does not count more than the affordability of software and hardware.

A more portable and afforable for the handheld console gamer, switch version should kill it...

Why, PS4 is just totally dominating everything and sells more than everything else combined. This is the power of Playstation.



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [peak year] [+], [1], [2], [3], [4]

Switch holding well.. MK8 should drive up sales. Looks like Japan has received it very well!

Hoping for a release date on GT Sports soon, that should push a few consoles. 



It seems that the Sony bots are slacking in slowing down the switch in favor of the PS4.
