Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan's Best Sellers: Kirby and the January Curse Edition

Nintendomination in Japan as usual, love it



Around the Network

Alright, had to update the February release list, missed the XB1 version of some games.

PS4 is the system getting the most releases on February with 6, WiiU is the one getting the least, as its not getting any.

Here's a more detailed list, all the January software sales data released by Famitsu.

The black box means that that game wasn't available that week, the "-" means there was no numbers for that game released that week.

Titles per platform

3DS - 25

PSV - 11

PS3 - 9

NWU - 6

PS4 - 4

Total known software sales for the month of January

3DS  ~1.4m

PS3 ~473k

NWU ~266k

PSV ~111K

PS4 ~86k

Total known software sales, only games released in January

PS3 ~387k (3 titles)

3DS ~180K (6 titles)

PSV ~69k (9 titles)

PS4 ~51k (3 titles)

NWU ~49k (2 titles)



Situation looks grim for Wii U and PS4. Hopefully things will pick up thorough February.



Smash 3DS going strong.

Dissapointed by Kirby sales.

Its somewhat sad to see the lack of Vita on the software chart.

At least it might even be able to take #1 for February :D


I think digital is a key part of Japanese sales puzzle for Vita software. All the new owners aren't buying it to look at. So they must be getting their software outside of the physical market.

It's something that's come up a few times in the Japanese sales threads.



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