I thought 3DS would sell much more with a big system seller like DQ


It's the third Dragon Quest remake on the 3DS.  Anyone who wanted Dragon Quest remakes on a handheld would've bought a 3DS by this point.

That said, it was also bundled with a nice LE console, so 11k sounds about right for just that.

Hardware sales are pretty bad across the board aside from...maybe the Vita (all things considered).

Yokai Watch is still impressive imo, if you keep in mind that it launched with relatively weak fw sales.

Level-5 has a new hit IP on their hands, I hope they don´t milk it dry as fast as Little Battlers and Inazuma.


Probably has something to do with the anime that only 5 episodes in has been in the Top Ten anime ranking 2 weeks in a row.

VITA outselling 3DS! It's holding pretty well in japan.

Sad that they gave Kibry a 67 . Oh and Dragon Quest doing great as always!

Well not at all really 

48,000>17,000

Saturation. The peak has come and gone by now. New software will not bump the hardware that drastically anymore.



Yokai Watch has some godly legs!
Let's hope DKC:TF can help the Wii U go over 10k for some time, that's all I want. And 2 things: 2DS coming to Japan? Vita is doing good overall.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

It seems that Dragon Quest helped move some 3ds units that week.

3DS was selling at a rate of 2:1 compared to Vita, but this week it´s more like 3,3:1

Hey! Two Vita games among the 10 best sellers. It´s something we don´t see often.

Poor WiiU.. hey... how can MD chart show 4 WiiU games among the 20 best sellers while Famitsu chart doesn´t show any ? Pffffff...... sales numbers for the videogame market are really, really, uncertain



3DS really needs a remodel in Japan, heck even the 2DS should be released there.



So a pretty slow week for 3DS despite DQ launching, I expected a bigger boost. Vita holding pretty well, and so it should be, Terraria seems respectable.

As for Wii U...I just don't know what to say anymore. At least it seems to have stabilized slightly.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Vita is at over 18k, actually (MC)

Well yeah if you count TV. But that doesn't change my point

Famitsu counts download vouchers included in console bundles; Media Create does not.
