Man, Japanese console sales are depressing as hell.

Comparatively speaking they aren't so bad.

Japan has almost twice the population as the UK and console sales there are almost twice as much as in the UK. Just seems like Japan was a bigger games market than it's population/economy warranted and now it's falling more in line with other countries.

Agreed. Maybee ioi should consider to track Asian region with single countries detailed, like in europe.

Slow week, but PS week nonetheless.

Glad to see Type-0 having price drops. Estival Versus +5K (probably), fine.

Fixed.

Last week of April. XCX release week


Ok. 

It's May the 3rd (Sun) to May the 6th (Wed).

The last week of April (April 27th - May 3rd) on has one day of GW, two if you count Saturday the 2nd I guess.

OT: super slow week, as is usual at the beginning of the school year. Hopefully things will get better, especially software.

Indeed :/ 

But retail still had it full price where I've been (Akiba, Hirosaki, Morioka)



Nep will save the PS4 next week.

Might as well copy my GAF post

Expected. Dull week.

I can see PS4 sub 10k pretty soon. The slew of games probably helped with short-term viability but it's not going to help massively long term - there was nothing with legs released; nothing that's truly massive and only on PS4, so ehh.

Vita... holding on slightly better, but still not great. I guess the stream of smaller releases is what helps that.

3DS holding on well for the stage of life that it's currently in at least.

Minecraft's legs aren't as fantastic as I'd have expected really, the only positive thing I can say is that it's good legs for a Vita game.

Assassination Classroom doing well though. I wonder why Bamco misjudge 3DS anime shipments recently.

Pro Yakyuu 2016 needs to move to a more viable platform as well as Vita/PS3.

I wonder if the Vita version of SAO: Lost Song will outsell Infinity Moment? Doesn't look like it.

And blimey, One Piece cratered. And SRW is significantly down, too, at least Vita version is almost matching last year's game.

I've just seen it half price on Amazon.jp

Don't know how SE manages to overship every FF lately...

You have a Tiger profile pic on GAF, haven't you? X)

SAOLS Vita doesn't need to outsell IM : I've seen the PS3 version running in Yodobashi Camera and it's a LOT smoother and sharper than my PSVita version. So I do reckon you can't dissociate the two. LS has outsold IM and will outsell HF in no time, that's all.

Simple, they think they are more popular than they actually are.

Kinda not the point. Square has to convince retailers to purchase the titles. It's a 2 way relationship, not random copies showing up at retailers doors.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
