Wow, nsmb2 still doing well, I wonder how the legs will be after obon? Good hold for 3ds hw, will the LL pass Vita's ytd total next week?

Off topic, but where are all of the 3ds' in the USA? I've only gotten a few streetpass hits on my 3ds. I get more in one day in Japan!


Japan = much higher population density.  Let's say the same number of 3DS are sold in both countries, you'd have a much higher probability of street passing in Japan.

I live in a major US city and I get a street pass probably every other day or so.  I wish I could get more consistently because I love puzzle swap.  At the Zelda concert though, I cleaned up and got anywhere from 200 - 300 street passes!

I've gotten 5 total street passes in almost a year...  I need to take my 3DS to downtown Austin and go on the UT campus to see if any youngsters have a 3DS.  I was planning on going to the Wii U event that Nintendo invited me to but I forgot to sign up for it.  I probably could have gotten a lot there considering I think most people would have brought their 3DS to that event if they owned one.

Good idea.  I get most of my street passes at my university (Temple).

Hmm... Software didn't boost as much as the COMG numbers suggested. Many games only saw sub-10% increases, and some no increase at all (or even decreased). Japan forgot Obon is this week???

Very nice boost for both Mario Karts, Taiko, Mario Party 9, and especially MH3G! Not bad for NSMB2, expected higher for Pokemon and DQ10, and Onitori decreasing on Obon is disappointing.

Nice boost for the Playstation family and 3DS. Wii is holding on for probably the last 10k+ week before the holiday season. Surprised at the differences between Famitsu and Media Create for PS3, 3DS and DS.

I hope I'm wrong, but I have a bad feeling that we will see a huge drop next week for everything, similar to the "DOOM WEEK" that came after Golden Week. http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/41042/Japan/

I guess so... I didn't have my 3ds on when I was in San Francisco, but I did get a couple of hits when I was in San Jose. Going further South to my hometown though, I've gotten nothing.(besides my girlfriend's 3ds) I hope I'll get some more hits when I go up to SF for the Giants vs. Braves game tomorrow.

a Little different picture last year at this time, but not by much. More NDS and PSP.

 

Sales were way down though. Does OBon change from year to year?

The good (great), is that Vita drought is almost over

We'll see releases ranging from small to big for almost all year now. Hatsune Miku, as Persona before it, may even have some unusual legs on it keeping it afloat stable.
