Excuse me, I made typo, it's 55.5k on average not 45.5k...

No  given the under-performance of playstation major third parties in Japan, DQ 11 is the last test! Also, do you mean, 9m? Only 1m less than PS3? Hmmm, I don't think so but if it's come so close to ps3 that would be a big success in my opinion, being below your predecessor for just 1m is remarkable, especially in the current japanese home console market state.

8m would be something more than decent provided that Japanese home console business shape isn't very good! 

I hope it doesn't do less than 8m though...

Super Mario Maker drop is a lot less then I expected, but FW wasn't the greatest anyways :p

Holiday definitely boosting hardware numbers

It's like didn't dropped at all... hahaha It reminds me splatoon.

Who would have thought that 3DS would manage these sales in its 6th in a saturated market! ( Personlly, this is what I was expecting, I'm referring to other people hahah )

2DS is certaintly have a great effect,  fortunatelly Nintendo released in Japan, even if it was late...

Japanese retailers can't return stock as far as I'm aware.  That means they're the ones losing money, not Square Enix who will be fine out of the whole thing.

Only downside may be the damaged relationship with retailers who will be more cagey about ordering stock next time, leading to potential shortages from future games (which would impact Square Enix).  With the advent of digital, though, that's no bad thing!

Thanks for making the thread in my absense.  Hopefully I'll be back to normal come next week.

Thank you for the information.

Why? Would you have any problem with the contigency of me taking charge of these threads? :(

You can carry on making them if you want!  I quite enjoyed making them, just have had staff meetings and stuff when they've gone up on the last few Wednesdays.

(Also, your titles are far too busy for me, but that's just personal taste)

We'll know when XVI comes out.

Thank you,  for this and for famitsu chart.

As I said to teeqoz, it's some of the highlights of  last week sales... I'm writing these detailed/extended titles to attract more people  ( primarly non-members )  to view that interesting  thread! :)

That XB1 500% boost!
