PSVITA took No.1!!!! BUT the 3DS did have lots of versions ( which they still win )

Glad to see all of those 2mil 3DS games still on the charts
MK8 and SSBU still there!
Animal Crossing New Leaf is STILL THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( Need a Wii U Version ASAP )



Pocky Lover Boy!

Yea, PS Pacman! Should be like that next week, too. Then, PS Pacman will start to die.



Vita feels less doomed right now!



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Honestly I expected slightly higher hardware from Vita, good none the less. GE2:Rage Burst sales are higher then I expected. Sony Should throw some money into the next iteration, ensure its vita exclusive (no PS4/PS3 or Ninetndo) and allowing the team to up the budget and widen their ambitions.



Wow, PSV matches 3DS. A rare sight for sure. Big week for both it and the PS4, which does good because of all the releases. PS4 will obviously come out on top of the home-console market when it's all over. 3DS is fine enough as long as it strolls along at this pace in Japan. It already outsold GBA, what more do we want? Especially if software keeps performing this good. WiiU is a pity of course, but hopefully (and I don't believe so) we won't see 3k weeks this year.

Well even if it does drop that low at least it will still be ahead of the Xbox One

I don't even look at that anymore, it's so sad it isn't even funny .

Pretty good PS4 numbers , it becomes usual
I guess PS4 will be around 40k next week, maybe even more

Again a proof home consoles are far to be dead in Japan


Dead is hyperbole for saying that the situation for consoles in Japan never will be so good like before.

The Ps2 did in its first years more than 3 million a year while PS4 reached 1 million first year and I believe it can sell 2 million for its second year especially with FFXV but hopefully their will be a lot of announcements that will push the sales of PS4 but so far the sales I would consider close to fine but for sure not bad or great...

With games like Resident evil/DQ heroes/Bloodborne/Disgeae/yakuza/final Fantasy Type 0 coming in the near future the sales are for sure interesting.

I really hope nobody thinks at sony 'Well for every PS4 we sell in Japan we sell almost 10-20 times more outside of Japan don't invest to much in Japan'.  Hope sony see the sales and start to invest heavy in Japan.....new ape escape/Fund JRPG's like star ocean/grandia please..



Well then the same hyperbole could be used for handheld market that will never be so good like before , but people dont, for me, that shows  it wasnt an hyperbole for a lot of people, they thought WiiU représented the futur of consoles in japan ( like those who thought that for the world before PS4/X1 launch )



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

If people already surprise with this PS4 sales, wait for next week, Dragon Quest is releasing next week. The sales will spike again.



Anyone think the vita will be up next week?

Yakuza special editions and the full Yakuza Ishin app.

PS4 doing really well. Numbers should remain healthy for a while given the release schedule

Dragon Quest Heroes is soon right? That should help quite a bit!
