------Last year-------Now:

3DS 100,501 ------ 65 657
WiiU 20,912------- 14 029
PSV 10,534--------- 31 382

I wonder if it will last for Vita.


Vita is cheaper now than it was in Jan,2013 and it has Final Fantasy ; )

You DO feel the need to mention the Vita having Final Fantasy over and over. What does it mean in your head?

Does the WiiU have the same exact games it had last January and nothing new?

Quit the damage control and assess the situation logically.

Well Final Fantasy is a large title , even a remake of the mainline title (If it wasn't there, you would see a lowered sales), but I do agree with you, Wii U had medium sized titles launched as well. 

Still don't understand why the Wii U hasn't had a price cut in Japan (At least to my knowledge it hasn't), maybe they are waiting for Mario kart?

Still, a Final Fantasy remake is not bigger news than a new 3D Mario game.

Yes totally agree, but Final Fantasy did just launch, and it has been 8 weeks for Mario. Final Fantasy generally is more front loaded and while Mario is more leggish. Also Final Fantasy remake can be just as big as a 3D mario.

Also I was just stating that Final Fantasy is a factor, not that it is bad or good.

Exactly.  The Wii U is cheaper, as well.  At least the model everyone was buying is.  And it also has a new Mario game.

90% of those only appeal to westerners, though.

By the way, if this is at all directed to me, I think PS4 will have wonderful launch, I am just thinking it won't be as impressive as I would like it to be 2 or 3 months down the line.

Sony will have games coming steady that appeals to the japanese market, i think the ps4 will have better support then ps3, which some japanese devs syed from due to difficulty in development.
