This week makes no sense. Except if we consider that TODAY IS NINTENDO DAYYYY CHO-CHO



*Also, consoles are still in a pitiful state.

Relatively good software legs for several titles here, like Bravely Second imo.
Better change that HW order though :p

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Ok, 19 v.s. 1 is quite ridiculous :lol When was the last time something like this happened?
 
Pretty terrible week. Just as you said though, Hiska.

Style Savvy and Minecraft doing well though. And interesting to see LEGO City again.

30./00. [3DS] Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 (Bandai Namco Games) {2014.08.07} - 2.413 / 206.237

New update for Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 (24.486 units sold in 2015)

[3DS] Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission (Bandai Namco Games) {2013.02.28} - 282.561 LTD
 
I doubt XCX got a second shipment since the week before. It was at 70% sell through at around 80,000 copies sold, so I'd assume the initial shipment was about 120000 copies. That means it'd be at around a 81% sell through now, which is really good, and means physical copies were probably hard to find.

And yikes at those drops, Nintendo better hope X will do better in the west (which wouldn't surprise me).

As I just said, an X drop was inevitable given that it sold through 70% of it's first shipment week 1, unless they shipped more immediately afterwards

If you're expecting this game to go much further please join us the next three weeks.
 
When the only Vita game is a Microsoft game.

With good advertising and maybe a hardware bundle that game could move sooooooo many Vitas. I don't think Minecraft took off in Japan like everywhere else but Minecraft on a portable could be just the thing to make it happen.
 
If you're expecting this game to go much further please join us the next three weeks.

I'm not expecting it to have super high sales going forward, just saying a drop was inevitable. It's not like 3D world which only sold 57% of it's initial shipment right away. All things considered, I think X is selling really well in Japan given the circumstances
 
so last week people said "this is not GW, it's just half, you will see next week the effect of the GW"


well, I really don't see any GW effect....

You can literally apply this logic to anything.

XB1 got 187'd.

LMFAO, well done

What are the people who purchase PS4s and Vitas playing? Nothing? Only downloaded games?

Thinking on it, I remember in my PS2 days for some years I only played two games. FFXI and SOCOM series. Some of the other games were cheap used games i picked and beat quickly, rentals and loans.

Even now on the PS4 and X1, I don't know why I keep buying games. All I play is Destiny and every once in a while try to play Bloodborne, Driveclub, PS+ offerings and State of Decay. But mostly I just go back to Destiny.

I also have a few friends who only buy their yearly sports games. That's it. No CoD, no GTA, no nothing, just sports.
 
All things considered, I think Xbox One is selling really well in Japan given the circumstances.

I really don't get why MS even bothers. Selling as shit as it does there, I can't imagine they're making any profit in Japan with the XB1. If they make another console going forward, I fully expect them to just go "fuck Japan"
