Not bad for Vita/Wii U, especially Vita.

Japan doesn't buy the PS4 hype like the rest of the world. They would rather get a PS3 until PS4 has some games.

Wiita U: Rise of the Dead

Not really, many people bought ahead of the 3% rise in consumer tax that started yesterday I believe.

Fascinating. You think we'll see a big drop for the next week for everything else?



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Not many people bought a PS4.

Tax boost or something? Looks like something similar last year a WiiU is down 10k yoy and isn't usually that bad.

PS4 need games.

Vita doing good but not outselling 3DS thanks to the big bundles, but it will outsell it when Sword of art will be released ( well unless they release an other big bundle to counter that )



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Atelier Ayesha Plus got outsold by a horse racing game... sad.

Vita outselling PS4 by a pretty large margin. That's interesting.

Was there some Japanese-only WiiU release or some holiday? Trying to figure how the WiiU (and Vita too) got a bump like this.


Wii sports club bundle released on the 27th March plus the hype for Just Dance Wii U ( Akb48 marketing as well).

I suspect the ps4 will drop more in the coming weeks

Suspect or hope?



 

The PS5 Exists.

Tax hike apparantly, thus all systems were up, nothing to do with JDU and Wii Sports Club ...

Vita continues to sell well due to solid 3rd party support
3DS looks pretty good too although I'm mildly confused about the Love Plus sales...was it mostly sold in bundles which weren't tracked by MC or something?
Wii U gets a nice (unexpected) boost
PS4 gets a pretty big drop...FFXIV is coming soon although the PS3 version didn't do too great. Other than that, is there anything in the pipeline anytime soon?
