Nope^ YW2 will keep that honor :) (as long as shipment is replenished!)

So, it may well not be top next week :P

But maybe we shouldn't see Neptune U as just a Neptunia game. It's Neptunia + Musô-like + cloth destruction, it is bound to attract beyond niches RPGs circles. I'm sure there are people wanting some fan-service without going through 50h of a complicated RPG.

I'm inclined to think Geki Noire was the anomaly. How much was Re:Birth1 COMG score before release?

They've actually been progressively worse. We'll have to see if Neptunia U does indeed buck the trend or not.

So, Japan is accounting for 5-6% of PS4 WW sales and 25-30% of WiiU´s?

What do gamers in Japan even play?

They are turning into mobile phone gamers *shudders*

It's not like the US isn't behind them. We spend billions every month on mobile gaming.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

And wiiu got an even bigger drop then last year. Expect more 2k weeks this year because it's currently on an almost identical sales path as last year. One would have thought that kart would have kept it from going back down that horrible sales road but unfortunetely, that doesn't seem to be the case.

What? MK8 might not of pushed 30k-40k+ like we wanted on release and do amazing but to say this? ^^^

MK8 kept it from doing much worse (close to that of 2k-4k like last year) and the games been out for just about 3 months now. Holing a 7k-9k is definitely much better than under 5k. (of course im not saying its doing well, just pointing out that MK8 has been maintaining a better baseline and its 3 months from 1 game.)

Mario kart 8 did nearly nothing on the HW side in Japan. Compare this year's weeks to last year's weeks and you will see that they are nearly identical YoY. And the bolded is a bunch of lies, wiiU started doing 2-4k in September and October, and it's heading towards those sales once again with this drop. Last year, it had sold 12k last week and then dropped to 7k, this year, it sold 18k last week and dropped to 7.5-8k this week. Yea, you can see that the sales pattern is very similar. Mario kart 8 sold great by itself, but it did nearly nothing for the hardware.

Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

I thought ps3 was suddenly dead for a second.
Sharp drops everywhere though.

And thank's Kres for the Famitsu digital numbers, if we do some maths: P4G sold 12.659 in July (which is abysmal when the TV show is airing)

Hold on, are you really trying to tell me that 12k in 1 month is abysmal for a 2012 remake of a 2008 game in 2014?? All because of a remake of a 2011 anime is currently being aired
How many games released in 2012 sold 12k in Japan alone last month?? If anything, its signs of a success.

I just thought that maybe just maybe it can have the same legs as Yokai Watch or one of Nintendo's big IPs.. That was exaggerated I know.

No news about the LT sales of the game though ?
