Amazing Vita sales!!!!

WiiU dropping? Whaaaat? We're heading into the holiday season :S

Wasn't the Wii U right around 15k last week too? Also, the holiday sales boost starts later in Japan than in the other markets, so it isn't out of the ordinary to see weekly hardware sales being stagnant or even dropping during weeks with no noteworthy new releases.


That's correct. Wii U is down ~3k according to Famitsu but up ~2k if you go by MC.

Oh, fair enough. MC is my source but if Famitsu is showing that then it's probably even.



 

3DS is going to be below last year's HW sales, with them being 100-150k under. If lucky, it'll be on par.
Wii U is holding quite well and when Cats releases it'll boost by a large amount.
Vita did surprisingly better than my expectations and GE2 did around what I thought.

Lol. Vita outsold 3DS this week. Had that ever happened before? I don't think so, counting out release week, so congrats on that.

I think it happened one time before, although I can't remember what cause it. I think it was the release of a Hatsune Miku game, but don't quote me on that.

Hang on, I messed up the numbers.

MC: 17.7k -> 15.9k

Famitsu: 14k -> 14k

 

So it's down 1.8k according to MC, flat according to Famtisu.

Hmmmm, I was expecting more for God Eater 2 (around 300k-320k for Vita and ~180k for PSP).

Ok Vita TV sales. Next week is going to be interesting for it.

Wii U sales are still above 10k. That's... something.. at least.. I have a bad feeling that 3D World isn't going to sell many Wii Us next week.







Man, that's 4 3DS games that sell only 20% of the shipment. The situation is becoming dire here...

Not sure for Vita though : PSVita TV is not so hot and the GE2 bundle didn't move a lot of handhelds :/

Amazones clearly bombed. Those ASW scums earned it. I expect an enhanced Vita version with a lot of apologies. 

Can't wait for next week which will be most interesting for sure.

I wouldn't bet on an Amazones version for vita. The vita has a really hard time selling *ANY* software. Not even Sony is putting much content on the platform anymore.

For 3rd party developers the challenge on the 3DS is that there is a huge lineup of quality games so the competition is tough. Still is nice to see that atleast the 3DS is doing so well in Japan. All the others are average-to-bad.

Vita doing bad, Wii U dying, 3DS dominta...
Oh, a change this week.
Wii U still above 10k? Vita above 3DS?
I guess this must be wrong, somehow.
