Forums - Sales - Japan Sales - Media Create,Famitsu, & dengeki: week 38 ( Sept 16 - Sept 22 )

Can`t wait to see how gamers are going to react to the new Wii U bundles!
Too bad there isn`t a MH4 version coming for Wii U. It could really benefit from all the hype.



Around the Network

Bad numbers for basically everything below SNAFU, which actually did fairly well for what it is.  

I feel bad for the niche stuff releasing on the 3DS. Mushibugyo got absolutely crushed.



Next week is the week of Zelda. Is there any other big releases in japan that week? Will MH4 outsell everything else next week too?



Good second week for MH. That without digital numbers. As we know, MH4 had the best first week of the franchise, I wonder where are sitting the numbers today.

3DS still outselling competition 31:1. Impressive.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Holy shit! 7% increase for 360. What caused this?


Some kid learned about the console from that Kotaku interview.

3DS doing great as usual. The PS Vita is gonna fall even more for the next 2 weeks in anticipation of the new slim model. Let's hope it'll do similar to the PSP when it released it's first slim model. Sales were at 300k+, if i recall correctly, for that week in Japan!!

At over 2,188,000 sales, Monster Hunter 3 is now bigger in Japan than:

*Any 3DS game other than Animal Crossing, including MH3U, NSMB2, MK7, and SM3DLand
*Major historic RPG's like Pokemon Emerald, Chrono Trigger for the SNES
*Any N64 game other than Mario Kart 64
*Any HD game ever created
*Any Zelda game ever created

Plus, it is currently about the 61st best selling retail game of all time in the country, despite digital sales. And even if sales for next week merely push it to, say, 2.3 million, it will overtake Mario Kart 64.

Hell, it's already outsold two of the four PSP Monster Hunter games.

AND THIS IS BEFORE ITS FIRST HOLIDAY!!!

Seeing games have good sales excites me.

1. Thats impressive

2. Ok

3. N64 never took off so Im not entirely suprised

4. Not Hard, HD gaming is yet to take off in Japan with less than 15m HD consoles sold (15m was a quick guestimate)

5. Not bad, Zelda had decent sales early in its life but never became huge

Now to wait and see if the series can grow in th west



3DS still at 150k! Incredible numbers for the 3DS! Has probably caught up to 2012 YoY numbers and it still has Pokemon releasing in 2 weeks. Bloody hell!
