A pretty meh update, aside from EDF of course.

I hope Nintendo can fix their Wii U problem. Vita is bad enough but 2 consoles not doing so well is not really positive reinforcement for the next gen.

Indeed. Especially when the system started out with crazy pre-orders and sellouts. But I think both have problems just particular to them.

A non-Nintendo dedicated handheld would've been a long shot if Sony did everything right, which they certainly didn't. Meanwhile, third-parties have pretty much abandoned the WiiU, and the flood of current gen ports (not even the full version in some cases) casts doubt on how interested they were in the first place. That forced Nintendo to pick up the slack in a way they clearly didn't expect to after the Wii's success.

I don't know if the PS4 will have either of those problems in Japan. It's main issue will be that the orbit of Japanese gaming in general seems to have shifted to dedicated handhelds and mobile. The 3DS has had the huge sellers over and over again since I started following these numbers, and only recently have PSP sales fallen off.

How the PS4 does will be super interesting. It could revitalize the console market for Japan, but before we can even consider that, Sony has to show a lot at TGS first.

Fortunately, I was wrong. Vita version outsold PSP. I hope I won't be wrong with Pikmin 3 prediction.

Toukiden did amazing, boost for Vita =)
cant wait to see Pokemon X&Y to hit these charts seeing as it releases just under a month after MonHun4

Okay. That was better. Now I know the people who pre-order (or don't, in that case) just don't know what's good when it's thrown at their faces! 

No. There is local multi-player, though. Which is something that I think has been done since Pikmin 2... not sure on that...

Correct, Pikmin 2 had splitscreen play.
