Good start for MK8, end of the line for U. On a side note, the 1.2 million were definitely shipped, not sold.

Noire definitely under expectations, I hope STING/Compile get the message and that next time they will make sure to deliver decent graphics.

You mean the mario kart 8 bundle? Japan did not receive the same treatment. Plus the had the worst promotion which only allowed the free game to be played for one month.

Software sales are great, but the hardware bump leaves more to be desired.


Which leaves me to wonder if they made the Japan MK8 bundle/promo to have parity with the rest of the world if we'd see better sales.

Not by much I'm afraid..

This seems to be a Japanese thing, ever since the tax hike the market has declined steeply - affecting all consoles from the sublime 3DS to the second coming of home consoles, PS4. Cost of living might be a large part of it, Japanese folks don't have the same disposable income they had before

SW sales aren't the problem in this week's chart.

Compare for yourself, MK8 sold more than MK DS and a little less than MK7 first week.

It's the U that's struggling, not the game in this case.

bayoneta never was on nintendo systems. and this chart only prove that every nintendo fan already bought MK8.

how many of them olayed bayoneta?

I don't know about that, you are forgetting that Digital sales will add an important chunk to sales. I think the 1.2 million are sold, since we have no idea of the Digital sales from the eShop . Could push up the number to 375 - 400k and that's only Japan. Rest of the world could get to 800k without any problems.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Terrible hardware numbers all around, Wii U abysmal boost, maybe it will be prolonged, we'll see. Vita dropping to alarming levels again, PS4 has no games and no sales.

Wtf is happening really? Where is our saviour the mighty Xbone?



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!
