Including the last two weeks?

 

Also....you saying that if the Wii U and Wii were still hits the Vita would dominate? What are you saying? Nintendo should have GT?

I'm saying that except 3DS software sales there is no Nintendo domination in Japan... software sales for Wii and Wii U are bad... really bad.

I don't know if any game will make huge numbers in Wii U... even for Mario Kart Wii U I didn't expect huge numbers like the Mario Kart Wii... there is no user base for that.

Why would you even mention that?  It's not like Sony is doing particularly well on both their handheld and home console systems.

Sony is doing well with PS3... and Vita is bad too... I said that.

This doesn't account for Wii U or 3DS digital sales.

Of course Nintendo is dominating. Japan is all about the handhelds, and the Vita is really not competition.

Outside of digital first releases, it is rare that digital sales ever out perform or match the retail numbers. If they didn, a company that has been having such poor retail numbers would probably be shouting it from the rooftops to help offset the less then favorable retail numbers.

But yeah, Nintendo has been one of the top publishers for years, it is partiallly why a lot of companies are so quick to abandon them because they dislike the fact that not only are they competing and at times losing to Nintendo but some feel they have had an unfair advanatage since it is their own hardware.

3ds is going have record numbers this year with Monster Hunter 4 and Pokemon X/Y coming out...Im expecting 1 million sold in one month alone 0__0

3DS dominated because Wii U and Wii is below Vita.

What does that have to do with the 3DS software sales? The Wii U and Wii sales don't have anything to do with the 3DS success.

That's what I said.

3DS dominated.

BTW Pachter: Nintendo “dominate” handheld, make “great first-party software”

Let me put what ethomaz is saying in terms of MMA fighting... Weidman won the title because Yushin Okami and Brock Lesner are not as good as Silva.
