Seeing these makes me want to calculate the averages:

3DS - 121,524
WIU - 49,452
PS3 - 43,857
WII - 32,265
PSV - 28,790
PSP - 19,023
NDS - 9,713
360 - 7,892

I don't think there's anything meaningful to be gleaned from the averages, though.

Wii U average is extremely skewed by the fact that the top 3 games account for 40% of all software sales. Top 5 Wii U titles accounted for 56% of Wii U sales in that top 1000.

3DS isn't much better. Pokemon X/Y, Monster Hunter 4, Animal Crossing, and Tomadachi were 42% of all 3DS software sold in that top 1000.

For comparison, the top 5 PS3 titles on that list account for just under 20% of the sales. Top 5 Vita titles had a 31% share of these Top 1000 sales.

Thanks for sharing. This means I could compare with mine and fix my typos.

Found these in yours:

386. [360] Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition <ADV> (Microsoft Game Studios) {2013.06.06} (¥2.079) - 18.084 - 18.084
(correct: 15084)
399. [PS3] NBA 2K13 <SPT> (Take-Two Interactive Japan) {2012.11.01} (¥6.090) - 21.612 - 35.805
(correct: 14192)
408. [360] Battlefield 4 <ACT> (Electronic Arts) {2013.11.07} (¥7.665) - 13.750 / 13.750
(correct: 13570)

Trying to compare averages is dumb anyway, the reason PS3/PSP have more games in the top 1000 and a lower average is because it has much more of a backlog than the 3DS.

Good catch.
 
Hey Konami/ Platinum, how about a Metal Gear Rising 2: Reveagencer 'This Time We Gave Them More Than a Year to Make It' Edition announcement at TGS?

That is probably a good point for Wii U/Vita, but I doubt it matters for the 3DS. It's not like there are a ton of pre-2011 titles on the list for any system. Nintendo console averages are heavily skewed by first party software (and a few major third party games in the case of 3DS). Sony consoles get a lot of mid and low level titles and almost nothing above 500k.

True, the amount of "backlog games" is higher on PS3/PSP, but maybe less than people expect:

Jesus, puts that one into perspective.
 
GTA sold twice as much as Mario? In Japan?

Is this normal?

It's beyond that. GTA V has had longer legs in 2014 than Super Mario 3D World + it had a budget rerelease. It's approaching 900K sales total, which is really impressive, and one of the highest for the platform.

This is the real head shaker, I mean really Japan? I doubt that shovel-ware sold that much even in the US.

446. [WII] Donkey Kong Country Returns <ACT> (Nintendo) {2010.12.09} (¥5.800) - 11.596 / 981.817
So close and yet so far

EDIT:
Not bad Nintendogs 3DS at 690K, the series didn't collapse like other "Touch Generation" games like Brain Training and Wii Fit.

Fucking wow. So many numbers. Thanks for taking the time to do that.

83% rise in software sales for Vita '13 vs. Vita '12 pleases me.

Note: I have excluded games that are less than 12 weeks old before 2013-12-29 (to give them a chance to sell their copies =P) and games that have less than 1000 copies unsold (to make the list shorter...).

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Those Wonderful 101 numbers depress me...
At least it did slightly better in NA.
 
370. [3DS] Fire Emblem: Awakening <SLG> (Nintendo) {2012.04.19} (¥4.800) - 16.199 - 471.467

FE did pretty darn good. So close to half a million in japan alone.

What are the last 2 numbers after the price? and what is the difference between the '-' and '/' at the end between them?

For example:

001. [3DS] Monster Hunter 4 # <ACT> (Capcom) {2013.09.14} (¥5.990) - 3.110.240 - 3.110.240

and

051. [PS3] Pro Baseball Spirits 2013 <SPT> (Konami) {2013.03.20} (¥7.980) - 186.926 / 186.926

That 3DS domination and yet not many companies wanted to put their big titles there.

Put maybe spin off of ur big IP's? Like how FF-explorers? As it seems 3DS is great for big IP titles.
 
this completely and utterly invalidates all "japan only wants quality games" claims

Tearaway is such a great game, it only makes me wonder if it would have been a hit on 3DS since it fits in better with their audience, or if it was destined to fade into obscurity no matter the platform. Hopefully its PS4 sales prove me wrong.

Thats because in 90% of cases the biggest Japanese IP's form third parties have bigger followings or sales in the West.

I don't know. Look at Rayman Legends' jp sales on Wii U, for example.

836. [WIU] Rayman Legends <ACT> (Nintendo) {2013.10.17} (¥5.985) - 3.608 / 3.608

I realize it's not the same type of game, but even though it's a quality title that would appeal to the Nintendo platformer audience (cheerful, colorful graphics) and was even published by Nintendo themselves, it completely bombed.

Only talking about japanese sales, both games did a bit better overseas.

Hence why I stated 3DS, and even though Rayman Legends sales bombed all around it still managed to sell best on WiiU so it does show that the audience does skew towards there platform.
