A bit higher than I predicted recently (250k-300k) but we know almost everything launches with huge numbers in Japan. Still, lower than Vita so I guess that means I'll make that thread (but only after NA week 3 and Europe week 2 come in

)

I'm afraid you've been beaten to it really:

Though, I guess yet another one couldn't hurt.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I'm more interested in Paper Mario sales :(

(and 3DS and Vita's)

Paper Mario is going to bounce back, of that I'm sure :)

WTH? This is a WiiU Launch title in Japan? Why didn't they make this a lunch title in North America? Damn, WiiU will do well in Japan now.

Didn't you know? Anyways, I'm unhappy, that the Japanese don't post screenshots from the game in Miiverse. Probably that function is disabled for the game.

Good WiiU start there but the software is again pretty low.

Btw. is Nintendo Land bundled in Japan or not ?

Nope; only the MH game is in limited bundles (similar to the ZombiU bundle). Their Premium pack comes with no game; hence the lower attach ratio. Which Japan always has, anwyay. I swear a fair few launches have seen attach ratios around or even below 1 in Japan in the past.

It had the same attach ratio in the US according to NPD. (without NintendoLand bundles) With bundles the US attach ratio was ~1.95.

So what do we think about the WiiU thrashing the PS3 and 360 launch, I think it signals the continuing utter domination of Nintendo in Japan. Xbox will stay irrelevant next gen and ps4 will continue the drop we have seen from PS2 to PS3. Seems set to me.

Iwata has commented on his thoughts of the sales.

Seems its the same thing he said when dragon quest was announced.

One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D
