When i think about all the expectations on Mario Kart 8, it's really awfully disappointing as a system seller.

If Mario Kart cant, i dont know what could help it in Japan.

I would've felt bad for the thread creator with the way this thread recently turned out, but he made a terrible OP. Sorry not sorry.

Anyhow, "good" boost for the 3DS. In the same vein; great opening for Persona Q. This might be the first Persona game I ever play. (Hopefully it's more of a segmented story so I'm not incredibly confused.)

Not a bad drop for Wii U, but not a good hold either. I was full expecting it to turn back to ~9k this week and it didn't, but both numbers are terrible. MK8 also had a pretty humungous drop. If what Tbone said was true then stock could be an issue.

Usually the first thread you do of Media create turns out horribly. I remember back when I did it, I would have to fix sooo many things after I made the post. 

considering how sales were a few years ago all gaming platforms are not doing well in japan. WiiU and ps4 sales are horrible.
Looks like gaming is all going to smartphones and tablets.

I'm still hopeful that Gta, Mgs, Kh, Ff, and others can garner interest for ps4 

I was pulling for the hawks in the playoffs Kane is from my neck of the woods

No, because the PS4 have boots thanks bundle FIFA 14.

Odd week.

Persona Q did excellently. Just shows how far the IP has grown in recent years. Sales are really close to SMT IV's as well, wonder how much overlap there was between the sales (now I wonder if it's going to see similar non-existent SMT IV legs or not).

Otherwise, meh. The MK drop was harsh but expected. The PS4 bump was a surprise but that's only because I'd forgotten about the bundle. Vita is going to dip dangerously close to going under 10k again before Freedom Wars releases. I had hoped the baseline would be higher this year. Wonder if they've got any more tricks in their bag for boosting it around the holidays.

Cardfight Vanguard again shows that COMG love anime games more than the general public. Decent opening, but I was expecting it to do loads better than To Love Ru.

And omg, Stranger of Sword City charted. I wonder if the Vita version will end up selling more though - even the port of Labyrinth Cross Blood sold better than this.

Finally, I think the Youkai Watch Media Create numbers in the OP are wrong. Either it sold 12k and is behind Cardfight; or it sold more than 32k.

Yay, Persona Q sold 186K movies in the first week. That's great! Now bring this over to europe, please.

Already confirmed for localization. Physical release and everything.
