Terrifyingly pathetic week across the board. Yokai fails to pass 1 Million, 3DS majorly down, PSV not holding any type of bump it had, and the PS4 is the new Wii U.

Wii U soon to be up, though. That'll be interesting.


Yokai Watch didn't fail, just your high expections again and it might already even be over 1mil with digital sales so another fail :-/

PS4 is pathetic in japan. So much for being this gens Wii.


Or "new PS2 era!!!!!!!!!" I can't believe that people actually expected any console to do well in Japan this gen.



Poor ps4, but it can do more than that without games. It will be topped by wii u in the coming weeks which is a little sad.

LoL. Forgot about that declaration. Yeah any one with eyes could see Japans trends weren't looking good for consoles.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Lol, the WiiU still cannot beat a system that hasn't had a game released in months.


Take the blinkers off.  They are BOTH doing terribly.  The WiiU at least has an install base (albeit small).  I cant see the PS4 overtaking the WiiU in japan for a very long time.

FFXV, KH3, RE7 - how long do you think it will take?



When are all these games coming out? wiiu will be ahead for months, maybe years at this point. The gap will definitely increase from now intill the end of the year. Consoles arent the same anymore. Of course im not saying ps4 wont do good cuz its too early to tell but it wont get to wiiu #s before 2015 for sre


2015 is next year - that's not a very long time. The reality is that the longevity of the PS3 in Japan is hurting the PS4. For example, Tales and Persona 5 are heading to the PS3. Similarly PS4 will have a long life in Japan.

Not disagreeing with this at all, but WiiU fill further the gap between them starting in either a week or 2. That will make ps4 need a much bigger impact to catch up to wiiu sales. Imo i dont even think 2015 ps4 will catch up, but its definitely not impossible

It was doing better some time ago, even without Golden Week. So, none of what I said was a fail. 

Doesn't Famitsu track some form of downloads?

it is a fail(your expectations), it was doing on avg 25k-35k a week before Golden Week), sometimes over. Its a game that has HUGE LEGS, yet its a fail cuz it sold 26k/30k this week (its been on the market for almost a year)? 99% of  Games wish they had half of wat YW is currently doing weekly  after on the market for a month. 

This is why your being very unreasonable, its a new IP. 

Also even if its selling less (which its not), you get a free copy with a 3ds LL. Thats why i said sales should easily be over 1mil now.

Stop calling something a fail, when its clearly not

I never said it was a fail. You just like to put those words in my mouth.

You also never answered my question. Does Famitsu track digital downloads or not? Do you not know?



I expect the PS4 dropping below Wii U numbers from here on out once Maro Kart 8 hit.
