Always strange how this week Sony consoles perform better than Nintendo's


Kids get money to spend.



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

When are they going to start tracking Digital sales?

Famitsu is already doing that, but they will release it monthly, if I'm not wrong.

OT: HW variations are all expected, but PSV did had an amazing boost.

3DS is truly dominating in Japan, incredible ecosystem for SW.

- Pokemon passed the 4m mark (Retail and Download Cards)

- P&DZ will probably settle around 3m, truly impressive.

- MH4 is up, but still nowhere near my expectations, it didn't had a great holiday season.   

Bah, if I keep going I'd have to pretty much pick every 3DS entry. Only thing left to say is that Luigi's Mansion 2 will reach 1m (retail and download cards) next week, not bad at all.

 



Wii U last year:

Week 1 2013: 67k
Week 2 2013: 21k


So the real test will be next week to see how much of a drop it has.

Not really, Nintendo HW tends to peak in the Christmas week, having low drops until the second week of January when it has a sharper drop. Sony HW, tends to have low bumps in December and peak in the first week of January, then a rather big drop.

Looks like poor Luigi will have to wait another week or two for the 1m medal. And in other news 3D Land is closing in on 2m, and 3D World will soon pass 500k, which is quite decent for a flop. Even Taiko U is doing alright for a bomba.

More Wii U software sold than Vita tho.. Interesting.

Party U and NSMBU are almost 100% bundled



Aww, poor Wii U dropping but Wii U rising is a nice surprise.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

First of all...So?

Secondly even without those two my statement still stands.



Nice to see the PS3 inching its way up. Too bad it won't get close to PS2s sales. Let's see what the PS4 can do.
