Forums - Sales - Media Create&Famitsu Sales:Week 51,2014(Dec 15 - Dec 21)!WiiU above ps4&psv!New3ds/xl reaches 1.081M!(Wii u outsells psvita for 3rd straight week):O

Smash should be the fifth best selling retail release of WiiU in Japan, Captain Toad should be entering top 15.

Also, while the Metal Slime theme PS4 is awesome is not really a good deal, I mean for a bundle is pretty expensive, as in buying a regular PS4 and DQH separate is actually cheaper.

Let PS4 have Japanese games available before calling doom, its fair for WiiU as that launched with Japanese centric games :P

They were counting on Phantasy Star Nova to be a much bigger title than it was. It did well under expectations, so Vita's YoY momentum fell flat on its face.

Yeah Phantasy Star Nova  was expected to do far better than it did. The poor reviews completely killed any shot of that. Maybe it'll regain some momentum in 2015, but Q4 13 - Q3 14 could well have been the Vita's peak :/

Did it actually get poor reviews? Last I heard of poor reviews, people were referring to the difficulty of Freedom Wars. That isn't a poor review. Horrible websites like Siliconera love to publicize crap like that which is deceitful at best.


So the people of the Vita thread said. Though apparently Famitsu gave it 36/40.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Wii U - 38K  | Last Year - 109K

Ouch..

Outselling PS4

mega ouch


Not sure if you are serious, there is nothing to brag about really, Wii U released it's best cards, PS4  didnt release any big japanese games and still, it's only 8k behind Wii U


PS4 shouldn't have dropped by 50% and be behind wii u because it had a bundle,even though it was the second week of that bundle!You should worry a little bit or at least be more cautious...!Really,what do you expect for ps4 when Japanese games will release...?

That looks like a bet !

In Japan, PS4 2016 > 3DS 2016 !  This is my prediction, i  guess you bet the opposite ! Deal !


5th Year = 2015, not 2016.Early prediction, i see ps4 doing extremely well, maybe selling 1.6mil-1.9mil. 3DS doing 2.2mil-2.4mil in 2015, i also think ps4>3ds in 2016.


What...?Didn't expect this from you!Completely outrageous!And I don't have to ratonalize,the reasons are pretty obvious...!

Media Create Sales: Week 51, 2014 (Dec 15 - Dec 21) 

11./00. [PSV] Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 3: V Century # (Compile Heart) {2014.12.18} (¥6.264) - 26.313 / NEW 

Pretty strong result for Nep Nep, actually flat from Rebirth2. the fanbase is standing the ground, no series fagitue and no remake fatigue either. Shining R dropped decently and as ponctual stock problems. That should do OK for Sega...

... unlike PSNova, disastrous if it can't chart this week. Digital & 1st January week is its last chance...

WiiU seriously bad : -66% during what should be its strongest period! Q1 is going to b a bloodbath.

I know that the market in Japan is slow to adapt, but everything seem to be struggling at the moment. Is the market saturated?, and by what, smartphones?
Not good at all. Most of my favorite games come from Japan (FF, MG, Souls). The future seems worrisome to be honest.
What Sony's Japan studio have been doing for the last year, the PS4 need much support to stand on its feet. Looking at the line up of 2015, while much better than this year, but still not that great.


Why are you worried? You'll still be getting those games.


Worried about the future not the present, the fanbase for those games would be significantly smaller without Japan. Japanese companies are having financial problems as it is.

It's funny how there's still people that believe the ps4 is going to light japan on fire, when the big games come. Sorry guys, no console is ever going to sell great in japan, ever. The ps4 is going to track way, way behind the ps3, so, even with the big games, it still will be pathetic. Let's be realistic here. It will sell better with big games, but please, just stop acting like it is going to sell millions upon millions... ps3 had amazing titles, and even when it was cheap for the last 5 years, it still never sold amazing numbers. The ps4 will never sell great in japan. Thank goodness for the rest of the world, because it won't need japan.

Again, for the newbies who don't know much about sales trends in Japan: Nintendo consoles always see a much bigger rise before Christmas while PS consoles keep rising slowly but surely even after Christmas week. This is definitely not the best week of the year for PS consoles traditionally. If I had to guess I'd say PS4 and WiiU will trade places next week with PS4 close to 40k and WiIU around 30k.


What were your expectations for last week...?

You mean week 50? Or next week? Or this week?

Whether it's a common occurance or not it can still be funny due to its overall unnatural nature WW. WW the PS4 is killing the Vita, but in Japan the Vita is winning. Just thought it was kind of funny. 

Can't say i really see the humour in it, but it makes a lot more sense with context. "The Vita beat the PS4, lol." on it's own seemed like a rather backwards statement to make about a country where it's the norm :p

Still it's  a little strange. Sorry you don't find the humor in it. I think it's quite funny.

So you're saying my attention should go to the praise that the Wii U has sold so well, bringing on the uncommon occurance of outselling the  Vita in Japan?..... Okay

No, i was just curious as to what was funny about a common occurrence ^^ If SSBU hadn't recently released and the Vita beat the WiiU, would that be funny too?

Whether it's a common occurance or not it can still be funny due to its overall unnatural nature WW. WW the PS4 is killing the Vita, but in Japan the Vita is winning. Just thought it was kind of funny. 

The same can be said about 3DS though. PS4 has been killing 3DS worldwide all year but in Japan it's like 1:10 lol
