Quite interesting actually.  PSP & Wii have absolutely cratered since last year (both ~ 400k down).

This was pretty much 3DS' last shot to overtake 2012 as well, I think (a big push with Puzzles & Dragons).  Looks like it won't make it anymore.

So 3DS and Vita will be the only platforms over 1m for the year... quite depressing really.  Wii-U should make it next year at least.

wow 50% of Vita's LTD sales are from 2013 and it's up about 40% on 2012? NICE!



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

WiiU has Launching #s from last year, i think its its 2nd week of sales your comparing. 3DS had AC so that explains the big numbers from last year

Any reason for 3DS is down Last YTD?

Better Wii U sales than expected, I have to admit. Well let's see how it sells after the holidays, that will be the real test.



S.Peelman on 18 December 2013

Wow, those Mario bundles really did it in Japan...
Gets proven again, never underestimate Mario! 3D World also holding on pretty well, game's going to be more than okay sales-wise in the end. Now let's hope WiiU numbers aren't only because of the holiday, but there's actually some real momentum in there as well. 3DS murdering the rest like any week really, with P&D being a new million seller in a couple of weeks. Pretty much all Nintendo this week, nothing much else to say.

Should we put those words in the same part where we put your prediction about PS3 being flat YOY?

Flat? I said PS3 will be near flat in Japan... not flat... that's means less than 10% down yoy and no way the crazy 30% like some guys thinks here.

And if you check the numbers....

2012: 1,122,851
2013: 794,696

More three weeks of data do sum in 2013... 1,122k - 10% = ~1,000k... 200k in three weeks is hard to happen but it will be close.

Ok, whatever.....

Two things I just noticed:

Attack on Titan having decent second week drop. Thought bad word of mouth would've killed it; looks like it isn't as bad as people were making out.

Dragon Quest is gone. Like literally, out of the top 30 for both versions. Wth!

Last thing I read it was heavily supply constrained.

 

WiiU and PSV are the only ones up YOY, both are saved confirmed? :p

Using those figures it could top out at 850k for the year which is down just under 25%
