To be fair, two of those are ports.  One of which has been ported over and over again and the other being one of the less popular titles in the series.


I know... that's my point.  People were acting like Wii-U would be unstoppable in Japan because it had MonHun; Dragon Quest & 2D Mario on paper.  But when you actually looked at the games, one was a port and one was a port of an MMO.  And looking back now, it seems incredibly silly that people were predicting such Japandomination.


I'm still predicting Japandomination for WiiU: PS4 won't have anything important there for a very long time. Otherwise of course WiiU will sell much better than the Vita, these two consoles are absolutely not in a comparable situation. WiiU will certainly be ahead after this fall.

Wait for TGS, why don't ya? I'm pretty sure you'll be wrong. 

But you're right, WiiU and Vita aren't in a comparable situation because WiiU is doing even worse weekly this year on average than Vita did last year (and heck, this year).

This silly argument again? WiiU will have a very significative advantage in terms of market share and installed base, something Vita never had and never will have. In fact Vita even launched with a huge disadvantage in both aspects. And market shares, in fact comparison between installed bases, is absolutely ALL that matters, sales are important only to know how these key factors are evolving. So yes WiiU and Vita are absolutely not in a similar position and the fact that they are roughly selling on par right now won't change their respective situations in terms of market shares. Right now with the exact same sales WiiU is still increasing his advantage in terms of installed base in comparison with PS4 and X1 while the disadvantage of the Vita in comparison with the 3DS is widening weeks after weeks.

Maybe you should be the one to try to pass this "prediction exam" you are talking about...

How do you know PS4 won't have anything significant in Japan, when they're developing a new AAA IP to directly compete with Final Fantasy, which is huge in Japan and they' have a ton of unannounced exclusives? Don't you think you're jumping the gun with your predictions?
