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

Unfortunatelly not. But Wii U has more chance to succeed, because its big games are coming in 2014.

Any reason for 3DS is down Last YTD?


Animal Crossing brought a new crowd of 3DS owner in (i.e. women).

I'm guessing Monster Hunter & Pokemon are selling mostly to people who already own 3DS'.



meh WiiU sales are over tracked

no seriously Nintendo needs to stop supplying Wiis in other regions as those will most likely translate into WiiU sales



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

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.

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


PS3 sold more than 1,2 million last year. The comparison is wrong, Ethomaz used YTD numbers of 2012 (which not include the last 3 weeks of the year).  There is a omission than more than 100k units.

The 2012 number you are looking at is YTD, meaning that at this point it excludes a couple of weeks of 2012. Thus the percentage the PS3 will be down year over year by the end of this year will most likely be the same as it is right now. Which is approximately 30%.


You was faster than me.

Nice to see the wii u up. Hopefully no more 4 figure weeks from here on out.



Well that's a surprise. Looking at the wii u software sales I must agree that SM3DW is a system seller.

Since it's launch other games come in above it and disappear. Mario is still there, selling more than half of it's opening week. The attach ratio for that game is going to be impressive.

Hopefully wii u can maintain decent sales until the PS4, after that we shall see.

Monster Hunter is out - or coming out soon - so wii u sales should be solid well into January.

Impressive for the Wii U.

But what's with the huge difference of Wii U software sales between Famitsu and Media Create??


Media Creat doesn't include bundles as sales (software)

How many games are bundled with the Wii U in Japan? :/

There's a bundle that includes New Super Mario Bros. U and Wii Party U.

And GT6 started to get close to the GT5 weekly sales... I won't be surprise if next week it sell better than GT5 third week.

GT5 3rd week in Japan: 23.929

Take my words... GT6 will catch GT5 in Japan... it will end close... some guys will eat some crows due the early "flop" .


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

Just curious. Did you make a similar remark about Zero's predictions after his 10m wiu's sold prediction? At least be consistent. People make bad predictions all the time. Doesn't mean they're not allowed to make another prediction if they fail once.

OT: Good to see wiiu getting the sales it deserves. Vita is at least not horrible, but definitely not great considering how much everything else increased.

I'm not consistent? Just because I never saw that prediction from that guy? I don't have to show you my credentials, and you don't seem to know my post history, so, what you stated is not very sensible, isn't it?

Wii Party U, NSMB-U, and WiiFit, if I'm not wrong.



Wow. Wii U lives. I didn't see it coming.
