Yeah but your forgetting that 1 major factor and that is who it sells too. Splatoon can only sell so much, because it's on wiiu. If it were on 3ds for example. We be seeing sales alot more. 

Do shooters do well on handhelds, though? Can't think of any really successful ones.

I don't think splatoon would be affected by that. That said, I don't think so. I can't recall any

I hope they make a handheld version just to find out. It'd be interesting to see.

Tbone you're forgetting that minecraft has an android and iOS version. These are big competitors to the vita version.

My point isn't which is the more impressive total sales, but legs. Minecraft was released on vita long before splatoon and yet here they are both selling similar numbers. in 12 months which will sell more? Because which ever game it is, highest on the weekly will have the better legs. I predict it will be minecraft Vita.

@jranation yes it's the only million seller. But it's a case of many titles selling fewer units instead of a few titles selling many units. Total software way above the Wii U for example despite it having more big sellers.

Yeah but you're forgetting I'm only comparing vita minecraft retail to splatoon retail.  If we compared all versions including digital it's not even a debate.  I'm just saying minecraft vita retail legs are more impressive than Splatoon retail.  1 platform vs 1 platform.

Were talking about Japan here right? 

Yup. Did minecraft not launch on ps3,ps4 and pc in Japan? (if so, disregard what I said)

Launched later on PS4. PS3 version came before it iirc. Not sure when it launched on PC, but it really doesn't matter as PC gaming is irrelevant in Japan.

More interested in iOS/Android dates.

What game has sold more software than HW for over half a year straight? Only game that comes to mind is splatoon. But again it's more opinionated I guess. Still think splatoon legs are the most impressive this gen, especially considering its platform it's on. 

That put splatoon on 3ds and minecraft wouldn't have a chance. 1 exclusive vs heavy multiplat lol

Its a turn based (ATB active time battle) game, without random encounters.

It looks alot like Dragon Quest, from the gameplay videos (but battles take place on the area you re walking around)

Feels old school in a good way.

 

And yes I really like the cover art too.

Gotta say you know how to sell a game.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

You're not getting the point.  I'm not saying under the circumstances which is better I'm just saying which is actually better and it's minecraft.  

 

Why bring up multiplat when I just said I'm comparing vita minecraft to splatoon?  And the vita and Wii U have a similar install base.  

 

And now you bring in the 3DS. Well release minecraft on it and see how it does.  Again minecraft will be selling more weekly on vita than Splatoon on Wii U will.  

 

Minecraft vita is the king sku in terms of legs.

how are minecraft legs better? Have you not seen sales at all? Splatoon is ahead cumulative and currently even with being on the market for less time. Minecraft has really good legs and kept vita hw sales afloat, but i dont see how you think minecraft for vita has better legs.
