Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan Sales Week 1, 2015 (Dec 29 - Jan 4th)

hiska-kun on 08 January 2015

Media Create tracked Wii U higher than Famitsu when MK8 was released and in summer season. Media Create tracked 3DS higher in October, November and the firsts weeks of December than Famitsu.

now it seems Famitsu is adjusting its numbers up, and here the fanboys start to choose the tracker that has the numbers they like, and keep switching trackers when their numbers look better.

Choose a tracker and keep with it.

btw, Famitsu way of tracking has been very wierd lately.

So if VGC just takes the average for hardware, that'll make it 38K for PS4 and 36,5K for Wii U. I can't believe PS4 will take the week with SSB and MK8 being the leading software for Wii U and GTAV being the only PS4 game on the list, and being below both Wii U titles. That's craziness.

Damn March is huge for PS4. One release each week. If that doesn't get PS4 moving nothing will.

It would be weird if it wasn't,as ninsect infromed me that week is the best selling week for sony's hardware!And is just one week binary,where is the craziness? And famitsu disagrees!(No,I m not choosing famitsu,I just mention a fact...)

Wow GTA V, it's the only game in the top 10 that is not for a Nintendo platform (if you go by Famitsu)

Exact reason why I use them.

Also as with Vita, it could be that their killer app (minecraft?) Is digital? Theyll also already have a stash of games if migrating from ps3 or already have a Vita and PS+. I think digital could be a missing piece of the hardware/software puzzle. Bearing in mind that this is mobile and and that is 100% digital.

Also my tracker of choice.  I mostly just use Famitsu for 21-30.
