but it did like 10k units better this week in japan than ps4. PS4 is doing great in japan, but Wii U has had some nice momentums the past weeks, and soon SMT x Fire emblem releases, so that will surely push some units



 


Are you new to Japan sales?  Every year Nintendo gets a bigger holiday boost because it appeals to parents buying presents for their kids.  Look at the yearly gap.  Ps4 is way up.  

 

And mark my words.  Once January hits the ps4 will go way ahead again every month.  

hmm yes maybe. i think they are going to be like fighting back and forth with the numbers.

That sounds all well and good but the reality is ps4 will outsell the Wii U by a lot in 2016 as a whole.  Seriously pay attention to Japan sales starting January and you'll see.

Ps4 only has 1 significant release?  And Wii U multiple... I don't think you follow Japan sales much.  No offence but there's a massive list of titles for the ps4 Japan 2016 and a very small one for the Wii U.  

 



Don't be shocked if Minecraft leads to a big boost in Wii U sales. I'm predicting 2017.

I meant that interest japan gamers, ofc there are alot of ps4 titles like, neptunia and those anime games, but Wii U has, Zelda U, and Pokken fighters, Star Fox Zero and so on, and maybe there will be like new big splatoon updates. and splatoon is a mega hit in japan, its not the mega hit as pokemon and yokai watch or monster hunter, but its quite getting the following there and they really love splatoon. Now imagine splatoon 2 on NX omg dude

None of those wii u games are going to do anything major.  They will be minor bumps and some not at all.  

What has splatoon 2 on the NX got to do with the Wii U line up next year.  Let's not shift the goalposts.  

 

Next year has: 

Yakuza Kiwami

Yakuza 6

Persona 5

Star Oceon 5

Dark souls 3

Final Fantasy 15 looks likely 

Uncharted 4

Tales of besteria 

Dragon quest heroes 2

Dragon quest builders 

Gundam breaker 3

Digimon cyber sleuth 

World of Final Fantasy 

Nier 2

Ni No Kuni 2

Ni oh 

Kingdom Hearts 2.8

YS viii 

Gravity daze 2

Naruto 4, 

Attack on titan,  

Street fighter V, 

Tekken 6. 

 

 

And then you've got the boat load of Western releases that are appealing to Japanese more and more.  

 

Yet you say star Fox,  Pokken fighters and Zelda U are better than all them?  

 

Like star Fox ain't even that popular in Japan,  Zelda already had a game and many will wait for the NX version and Pokken is an unknown quantity.  

 

Next year splatoon from this year will move more consoles than any of those games. Please don't suggest Wii U has a better line up again because it clearly doesn't.  Wii U is on its last legs and they're saving support for the NX.

Well zelda isnt confirmed NX, so we wait there. Also star fox zero is atleast something. Pokemon is huge. Also i think Kingdom hearts, Final fantasy, dragon quest heroes and persona are going to do good in japan. Definetly. But Zelda is huge in japan. Its gonna sell alot there, maybe more than all those other combined





As long as the owners who wanted to buy these consoles have games they like. I don't think they care that much on console wars there compared to fanboys on other countires.

You'll be in for a rude awakening.  See you in 2016 for the weekly media Create threads.  You'll see my point pretty quickly.
