Forums - Sales - Japan sales: Famitsu, Media create & Dengeki - Week 15 ( Apr 8 - Apr 14 ) *Update*

The excuse that there were shortages for PSV hardware last week ist just that, an attempt to spin the declining sales.

Wow, HW sales are down for everything.

Looking forward to how much Tomodachi Collection (with a custom 3DS LL and a new color) push up the 3DS in next week's numbers.

It wasn't just last week, it's been a growing supply issue since the price cut as reserves were exhausted. They finally came out and announced it last week because it got bad enough that many stores were having a hard time getting new inventory. Don't think it's an isolated incident that suddenly occured out of nowhere.

But the entire week is down so I guess the other consoles are in decline too?



People might be waiting on Golden Week or Tomodachi bundle. But these numbers are worrying.

Still supply constrained huh? do me a favour.

God awful sales across the board.


I love how you single out the vita when everything is down. At least you have something to comment on now that the vita is doing bad. Didn't see you posting during the weeks it was doing well.

"Kawano goes on to state that sufficient supply should be ready by the Golden Week holiday period (at the end of April and beginning of May)"

And Like I always post on the last few threads. Early weeks of April are really a dry week.

pretty big difference between reported vita and wiiU numbers. ..well between all of them really but those ones are bigger and more important.


Huh?

Vita: 14,775 (Famitsu); 14,112 (Media Create).

Wii-U: 10,147 (Famitsu)9,984 (Media Create).

In hardware terms they're pretty much on the same page.

damnit, famitsu's numbers had last weeks numbers bolded so i read the chart wrong..

nevermind me.



You can't fuck with Animal Crossing. AC abbreviation should now be returned to Animal Crossing and never again used for Assassin's Creed or Armored Core. Okay I permit the use for Armored Core but deny it for Assassin's Creed.

It could be just me but it seems than Nintendo's franchises aren't selling as well as the previous gen.

Some of them are selling better, like 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, and Fire Emblem. Others are not selling as well, like NSMB, Brain Age, and Nintendogs.

Then you didn't look hard enough.  I'm here rain or shine.  I comment rain or shine.  Most dont.

 

That's right. I just remembered. You did mention when vita was doing well that if it drops below 40k, it would be disastrous. My bad. I stand corrected.

OT: Soul Sacrfice is showing some legs, though nothing amazing yet.
