[Jamix012]

Everyone in the sub 20k club.

Edit: Also nice job on the OP.

 

[L~A]

You're not Chris. Where's Chris. I demand Chris back. Go away.


....


Just kidding. Thanks for posting that, mate

 

[Principate]

Looks the traditional Japanese games industry finally afforded a new thread.

 

[phanphare]

nice work Hero!

 

[Dead Prince]

ps4 and psp with the HW increase.

 

[Aostia]

You're not Chris. Where's Chris. I demand Chris back. Go away.

THIS! I refuse to comment in this thread.

Spoiler

go yokai go!

 

[IAmRandom31]

Kind of expected a larger boost for PS4 from Final Fantasy XIV but we shall see what comes of it for the next weeks.

Vita ALMOST did it twice in a row lol, almost.

 

[impact]

But I heard FFXIV was a system seller lol

 

[Tripon]

Really feels like the OG 3DS needs to be retired for a new model.

 

[RPGamer92]

Wow at 3DS and Vita being neck and neck. Is that more a positive for Vita or a negative for 3DS?

 

[SmokyDave]

This time last year, the 3DS sold more than all the hardware combined this week. Huh.

Sad to see the Vita drop below 20k.

 

[Hero of Legend]

So that alone took me close to an hour and a half, jeez.

 

[RedAssedApe]

But I heard FFXIV was a system seller lol

Depends on your definition. Sold an extra 1k systems.

 

[phanphare]

But I heard FFXIV was a system seller lol

but it sold over 1,000 PS4s



edit: ninja'd

 

[figadapaura]

Wow at 3DS and Vita being neck and neck. Is that more a positive for Vita or a negative for 3DS?

Both?

 

[bidoof01]

Its official folks. Gaming is dead in Japan.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

I'm surprised PS4 hasn't dropped below 10k yet, there's always next week I suppose

 

[Celine]

Wow at 3DS and Vita being neck and neck. Is that more a positive for Vita or a negative for 3DS?

I don't think selling sub-20K is positive for anyone.

 

[Shengar]

I thought that the depressing month in Japan supposed to be May.
Or maybe it comes sooner? Well, Youkai Watch now possibly joined 1 Million Club.

 

[Tripon]

You're not Chris. Where's Chris. I demand Chris back. Go away.

Chris was always a false prophet! We have a new hero of legend now!

So that alone took me close to an hour and a half, jeez.

Pretty sure Chris has some sort of script he uses to rip out the data from Media Create and Famitsu. So its just a job of him copying and pasting.

PS4 witb dat baseline hold rise!

 

[Linkhero1]

All hardware sub-20k

Damn. Also what's Ace Attorney 123 and will it come out in NA?

 

[Boney]

Needs the % drops from week to week

 

[NotLiquid]

Wow at 3DS and Vita being neck and neck. Is that more a positive for Vita or a negative for 3DS?

Seeing how the former is having a worse year-over-year right now...

 

[Beth Cyra]

Kind of expected a larger boost for PS4 from Final Fantasy XIV but we shall see what comes of it for the next weeks.

Vita ALMOST did it twice in a row lol, almost.

Did people really believe 14 was going to move a bunch of units?

This honestly to me is the weirdest thing since some people expected big things out of Pikmen.

 

[MaximumSpider]

3DS and Vita.
Rivals to the bitter end.

 

[Dead Prince]

Wow at 3DS and Vita being neck and neck. Is that more a positive for Vita or a negative for 3DS?

positive for vita as it's doing better than last year if you compare YTD.
3DS just needs more new color.

 

[vinnygambini]

So that alone took me close to an hour and a half, jeez.

Bless you good sir. Internet sticker for you

 

[BowieZ]

Really feels like the OG 3DS needs to be retired for a new model.

Only like 6 weeks to go till we see that

 

[Canis lupus]

Finally a thread.

PS4 surprisingly still holding well, thought it would drop to WiiU levels by now.

 

[phanphare]

the word "positive" should not come to mind with any of these numbers

 

[Shengar]

Looks the traditional Japanese games industry finally afforded a new thread.

Some whales finally bite the bait

 

[1000 Branches]

Thanks for posting this!
And holy shit, those sales are brutal.

 

[AniHawk]

so total software sales are 37% of what they were last year at this time. (hardware is 55%)

 

[L Thammy]

Thanks for posting this, Hero of Legend.

The new 3DS Ace Attorney is basically just a port of the iOS release, isn't it? First week seems more in line with a best price release, but if the game seems like a low budget effort, than it may not be bad.

 

[stalker]

Even with 11 in the top 20 the 3DS goes lower (no big releases of course). This looks like saturation.

 

[Metallix87]

Indeed. It's all bad news all around.

Even with 11 in the top 20 the 3DS goes lower (no big releases of course). This looks like saturation.

Time for a major price drop and new colors. Also, 2DS launch.

 

[Kenshin001]

Is it just me or is that FF14 number incredibly bad?

 

[Kandinsky]

Yeah even if the numbers seem low, PS4 getting a 13-14k baseline with basically nothing is not bad, the rest (except maybe Vita) is worrying. Fire Iwata.

 

[Otakumegane]

Them numbers all around.

Just terrible. Japan had a good run.

 

[jackissocool]

Its official folks. Gaming is dead in Japan.

This has been official for like 2 months.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

The market is dead for now, Hope it comes back alive for the next holiday. I'll just kind of ignore JP sales until then. lol

 

[TheChaos0]

This time last year, the 3DS sold more than all the hardware combined this week. Huh.

Sad to see the Vita drop below 20k.

I think SAO is out tomorrow, so we should see Vita rise up above 20k next week. Otherwise this week is just sad.

 

[Beth Cyra]

Is it just me or is that FF14 number incredibly bad?

MMO

Been out for a long time on 2 other platforms

Plus free upgrade for PS3 to PS4 (well if this exists in Japan)

It seems about right to me.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Wow at 3DS and Vita being neck and neck. Is that more a positive for Vita or a negative for 3DS?

it's a little bit of both.

 

[Poltergust]

All hardware sub-20k

Damn. Also what's Ace Attorney 123 and will it come out in NA?

3DS port of the iOS HD version of the DS remake of the original GBA trilogy. =P

 

[antibolo]

Frankly I'm surprised that the PS4 is holding 3rd place for so long.

 

[Kriken]

Shouldn't the Wii U have 1 in the top 20 with the PSP having 0?

Also, those numbers are just depressing, the 3DS alone last year outsold every hardward this week :/

 

[Tripon]

Yeah even if the numbers seem low, PS4 getting a 13-14k baseline with basically nothing is not bad, the rest (except maybe Vita) is worrying. Fire Iwata.

More like the consumption tax hit harder than most people realized. People don't like paying more for stuff then they did before. Who knew.
