So, in the land of the handhelds, Final Fantasy X HD debuts on the Vita and yet WiiU hardware sales edge out Vita hardware sales this week despite a healthy Vita sales bump?

What is this madness?

Because of this this games

06./03. [WIU] Wii Party U # (Nintendo) {2013.10.31} (¥4.935) - 87.262 / 518.766 <60-80%> (-32%)
07./04. [WIU] New Super Mario Bros. U # (Nintendo) {2012.12.08} (¥5.985) - 75.131 / 965.794 <80-100%> (-34%)
08./07. [WIU] Super Mario 3D World (Nintendo) {2013.11.21} (¥5.985) - 71.159 / 410.041 <60-80%> (-23%)

Of course, but it's not like any of those games debuted that week whereas the Vita, in a market where handhelds dominate, had a pretty popular game debut - even if it was just a remake.  

The point was not that the Vita did badly at all (in fact, quite the contrary) but that WiiU, a console that had 5k weekly sales earlier in the year, had comparable sales with a handheld that received a boost.

What was the need for this jab?

You're constantly posting about that Nintendomination crap you like to repeat so much, but this is too much for you to handel. The user has not even mentioned Sony, which you do.

Now tell me, which of the two do you consider trolling?


Yes, the salt is strong with you i see

Just so i dont have to hear your crying "Yes im trolling". Happy now? hope so lmao


Why do you always think everyone is attacking Nintendo? Drop the shield and stop this. The community is a lot nicer without it.

Great numbers from JP this week. FF is still popular, wish SE would drop FFXIII and would just get back to their roots.


Tbone was replying to Ryuzaki, idk where you got the idea that he thinks everyone attacks nintendo. Ryuzaki has openly stated that he has an agenda against Nintendo and hopes that they fail so yea....

PSV is a handheld but it dosn't have many games that interest people,those 3 games are bigger then any games released on psv,thoses games  had an increase in sales and those new owners buy a wii u with the games.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I find it funny that people (really only one person) is making a competition out of something that shouldn't be a competition.

07. [3DS] Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Nintendo) {2013.03.20} - 982.737
08. [PS3] Grand Theft Auto V (Take-Two Interactive Japan) {2013.10.10} - 605.882

With this being the last numbers for calendar year 2013, i see it fitting to address the top selling software for that year. As we can see there is a Nintendo combobreaker at number 8 with GTA5 being the top selling western developed title in Japan. 


Apart from the game at #7 :P

I think this is mainly timing imho, WiiU was still riding its pre-new year boost whereas Sony platforms tend to be bought by people for themsleves after new year rather than as gifts beforehand, so it is possible that WiiU will drop faster than Vita and be outsold when we get the figures tomorrow. Who knows though, may depend if the FFX boost wears off quickly, but given that it's supposed to be more or less sold out, that might suggest that Vita will keep doing OK for at least 1 more week
