Media Create Sales: Week 13, 2014 (Mar 24 - Mar 30)

What a sad week.

Huge drop off after the tax change, eh?

Wii U back to <8k after it's previous spike. PS4 never had the luxury of a spike and yet dropped several thousand anyway.

And Just Dance didn't even hit 20k? And it's one of the best selling games of the week?

Time to pack up the consoles in Japan.

Jesus.

Dat tax.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND UNITS

Boring week. Everything down on last year except the Vita.

I reckon PS4 will be sub-10k before the end of May.

RIP JAPAN

60K less hardware sold overall this week compared to last week, hopefully things rebound next week.

Wow.. Sad

yowza

Well, the Japanese certainly don't care for tax hikes as much as we do!

PS4 and Wii U are huddling together to keep warm in the cold streets of Tokyo

Audible gasp for PS4.

Yo-Kai Watch is unstoppable.

the slow dive towards sub 10k land for ps4 is nearly at an end

Where's Natural Doctrine?

PS4 just killing it


it = PS4

Only 25k less than this week last year though. At least that's something.

PS4 is doing pretty good for not having notable Japanese games yet.

It'll go up.

PS4 just keeps on falling. What's the next software for it?

Oy vey. This week is just sad all around.

Some sad numbers.

Vita is at least selling more compared to last year.

Did Final Fantasy XIV came out for the PS4 in Japan already?

Yo, taxes.

Big drops for everything.

Why? Its not like any games worth mentioning came out for it. The drop is very much expected.

Awful week. Hope things improve as long as new games release.

Is Ubisoft making a profit with such an awful sales? Those Japanese song licenses must cost some money.

Nintendo handles the publishing duties over in Japan for the series, so I imagine they're the ones that are taking the hit in this case.

Fun week

I wonder if the MC usuals will manage to get another big discussion over nothing to discuss (probably yes).

Ouch. These software sales are terrible too.

Just Dance, number 3 this week, wouldn't have charted in last week's top ten.

Taxes, oof.

That doesn't excuse how bad it is. Nintendo fans have been saying the same thing about the Wii U's plummet.

Too bad for Natural Doctrine.

Famitsu now only gives top 10 ?

Natural selection killed natural doctrine.

Whats the story about taxes? Must have missed it.

ive already accepted Japan has moved passed home consoles, its ok. i still love my PS4

Not coming out til next monday

I think if they continue the Just Dance Wii U advertising push, it could really help the system.

PS4 | 15.036
WIU | 7.686

This is just depressing

Drops, they're everywhere (and expected )

PS4...welp. How many more weeks now until sub-10k...

yikes

I'm always a bit baffled by the lack of (3rd party) 3DS releases these days. A shame.



Do we have a blackboard for PS4?

Click to expand...

PS4 doesn't need to be saved.
More likely a blackboard for Japan.

Depressing.

What's the worst week of hardware sales in recent memory? 93k seems small.

Everything terrible this week

Doesn't seem like many are buying the system for Just Dance given the disparity between hardware and software.
