Why are some expecting the Mario Kart 8 bundle to boost Wii U significantly next week? After all, Wii U sold like 19k on MK8 release week lol what makes you think this bundle will boost the console MORE, especially after the game has sold 700k in Japan already?

Now don't get me wrong... I expect the bundle to sell VERY well throughout the holiday season, but I think its boost will be more modest early on... I expect around 20k for Wii U next week, mainly because Captain Toad is also releasing (even though I'm not really expecting it to do much).

Anyway, the Japanese charts have lacked excitement for a few weeks now, I'm looking forward to the next few weeks though! Next week in particular will be fierce with Call of Duty, Winning Eleven and Captain Toad releasing.

For the most part, it is just a hunch. Last year, we saw similar patterns, with Wii U performing abysmally until Nintendo launched the Wii Party U bundle, which shot the HW sales up to 26K (IIRC).

I think its reseanoble to predict a boost. Personally, I think the Wii U will be at 10k, more or less next week.

PS4 over 10 without any game , just because of FF XV videos/DQ H informations ? It confirms the great futur in Japan, it will without a doubt sell a lot in 2015

PS4 over 10K because is November... if was Augost PS4 was sold 6,000/7,000... ineed, the week of The Evil Whitin (Japan games) PS4 have sold less than 9,000...

In any case, i don't say that PS4 will be flop, we will see...

I thought that first but if it was only because of november, Wii U would get a bump too, unless PS4 is more desired by japaneses for christmas?

Wii U has a bundle tomorrow, so yea, The week before a bunle is always the lowest week. Huge ass boost next media create.

yep!wii u in 2013 got 1,323% up with the wii party u bundle ;) from 2.8k to 39k,let wish to mario kart 8 bundle do the same or at least the half:P wii u is doubled so the half of that boost is efficient:P However,same boost would skyrocket wii u to 63k:P which isn t possible but lets dream of that:P

That will happen when Smash bros comes out in a month

PS4 up three weeks in a row. COD up this week, Assassin's Creed and Dynasty warriors the week after, then 3 weeks after that is DQ and GTAV...seems that the Dreamcast is being threatened.

Vita Y/Y not looking to good for this week with last years 2000 model but a pink one and some titles come out in the coming weeks to keep its Y/Y gains in tact.

Wonder what the excuse for the 3DS this week is going to be? Down Y/Y with every major title under the sun released for it as well as four sku's along with a special SSB 3DS XL. Let me guess... supply constrained.

3DS is failing against the DS, so no surprise to see it down Y/Y. In fact, I expect after the holiday boos to be doing laughable numbers as the other hardware, but not as terrible as the non existant XOne.

you have been misled ;) he is wrong!it isnt down but up!74k in 2013 vs 80k in 2014...!he must ignored the old 3dsxl/3ds/2ds :P

LOL at people arguing about "low" 3DS sales.
The thing is just a beast, beating every other device by a very very large margin, and dominating sales, even when it´s down.

People think it's low because:

a) It's the only console which has had any relevant major IP's released on it. And to be honest,it's had most of them. Aside from Final Fantasy (coming in December) it's had: Dragon Quest/Monster Hunter/Resident Evil/Kingdom Hearts/Animal Crossing/2D Mario/3D Mario/Mario Kart/Pokemon/Tomodachi/Smash. And even a couple of surprises like Puzzles & Dragons and Youkai Watch.

b) It's just had a remodel.

c) It's just had some massive titles release (Smash; MonHun)

d) This week, it had an LE console release.

Relatively to everything else in the chart, yes, it's good. Relatively to how it should be doing, though, it's "fine". And I think that's what's surprising people - it should be completely smashing things and it's not.

I doubt we'll ever see a console get this level of multiple strong IP's showing up on the console at once again. Which is a shame, and I assume why people have such high hopes pinned on 3DS - everything that could've gone right for it has gone right for it, and it's still not quite selling like it should.
