Train wreck on 01 June 2012

I believe Mario Tennis Open only had 2-3 days on the market, which would help explain low sales. It launched on Sunday, not Tuesday.

3DS market is definitely in need of some help though. Going toe to toe with the PS3 is NOT good for a year old console, especially considering how successful the DS was. Hopefully Brain Age, Animal Crossing, and NSMB2 will help create a surge in 3DS sales, and Kingdom Hearts 3D and Luigi's Mansion can provide a small boost as well.


Mario tennis had 6 days on the market...was released on the 20th of may

Suprised that Dragon's dogma did so well in Japan and in the West... meh..


It's similar to Monster Hunter. That had a lot to do with its high sales in Japan.

Sorcery>Mario :O. Who would have thought?


haha

man i don't understand how even nintendo fans can hope for mario tennis to sell good because games below the average quality of that genre (tennis games) don't deserve to be a success. if this would happen, nintendo wouldn't see the need to make the next one better. now they know they should make a really good one to get nice sales and not only putting mario in and rest is unnecessary.

Hardware is pretty poor all round, but for 3DS its ok.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier sold great for 360 0_0 I had no idea it was going to get half those numbers, Dragon's Dogma is pretty disappointing though :/

3DS actually has poor sales in America and Europe. It's selling below the 360 in Europe and below the PS3 in America.
Vita is of course sellling horribly. It's at dreamcast levels. 

Ghost Recon did amazing. Should be at over 1mil worldwide on PS3+360.

Vita below 50k next week confirmed? Shame
And I said that it would be close between PS3 and 3DS, and also Vita and PSP, but I didn't expect it to be quite SO close!


No. It has stabalized.

Last week it was at 50k as well. With the upcoming game releases, it can only go up from here.

Never thought I'd see a Mario game open at 22k. Guess I have some learning to do.

Just because it's the same as last week, doesn't mean it can't go below 50k. It has before.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I guess it could take a small dip. But I guarantee that the Vita will receive boosts throught this month during the release of Gravity Rush, Metal Gear Collection, Persona 4...etc. I'll even bet it surpasses the Wii during the Persona 4 week!
