With the new bundle??

Yeah



 

Is it surprising?



Ha it didnt even go above 10k.. disappointing really but that's the harsh reality



Wii sales will only touch 20k ever again on three occasions:

1) Week of Dragon quest X launch
2) Week after Dragon Quest X launch
3) Zelda SS launch.

Face it, its dead.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Excluding holidays, surely?

It will most likely teeter at 16k during those times.

People shouldn't jump to conclusions. It's possible that Nintendo advertising will kick in during the second week of the bundle rather than the first one as was the case for the price cut in the West.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Never hurts to be hopeful, :D.

Can I ask why it's hillarious, though? If it happened everywhere else, why not in Japan?

Because Japan is different from the rest of the world, the biggest effect always takes place on the first week. Plus have you actually checked that there hasn't been any advertisement for the bundles? That would be down right stupid from a marketing point of view. What's the point of even releasing something if you are not telling people that you will? And the Wii is dead in Japan, let's face it, this was the bump due to the new bundle.

It's quite tragic.
