Awful week. Such low sales figures.

Mario Kart 8 didn't boost WiiU sales at ALL? Yikes.
Edit: Forgot MK8 has been out a couple weeks.

We just have to wait and hope for 4DS now...

Hopefully MH4G/YW2/PokemonORAS/Smash can give the 3DS a big enough boost this year for the 3DS for everything to not be completely terrible.
 
Mario Kart is holding well, but I expect it will be bundled before it reaches a million.

Pikmin 3 vs Mario Kart 8 hardware impact.
Code:
		Pikmin 3		MK8
Week 1 HW	20728			19031
Week 2 HW	14024 (-32%)		12576 (-34%)
Week 3 HW	10937 (-22%)		10366 (-18%)
Week 4 HW	 9432 (-14%)		?

When does Borderlands 2 release in Japan? I want to see the Vita bust a 150k week.

Pretty boring week this week.

Well, Mario Kart 8's word of mouth seems to have a relevant effect on hardware sales.
We haven't seen the effect of Luigi's stare going viral yet.

If you're in Japan and want to buy a PS4, what on earth is there to buy for it? Western multiplats aren't going to help you move systems in Japan Sony. Where the hell are the Japanese games?
 
Another terrible week for hardware. 3DS at least is holding at 30k.

PQ is doing very well. Initial shipment was 250k iirc.

MK had very little effect on WiiU's baseline. Whats the WiiU release schedule looking like?

On top of stopping all new EO development, Atlus should also cancel any plans for new SMT games, since Persona Q outsold that too.

The discrepancy between MC and Famitsu this week is interesting for the Wii U as the former implies a really stronger hold.

Hyrule Warriors mid-August followed by Bayonetta 2 in September, a week after Smash Bros. on 3DS.

02./03. [3DS] Yo-kai Watch <RPG> (Level 5) {2013.07.11} (¥4.800) - 32.960 / 1.087.217 (-1%)

How far will this one go, really. Ridiculous, those legs. In a good way, of course :)

And looks like One Piece Unlimited World Red did pretty meh, and sales are roughly as expected. How much did the 3DS version sell, btw?

That it? Are you sure there are no other retail releases?

The next retail release is in 2 months time

I maintain that I have trouble imagining them not making more PersonaQ unless the fan reaction is toxic upon surveying.

Is this the first Atlus game released since Sega bought them btw? That might explain some of the overperform given Sega's channel power relative to Index.

i find it amusing that the wII U is still beating the PS4 in japan.

Japan ,,, with all respect, is the only country in the world that video games fans behave in a strange way

great numbers for MK8, PersonaQ and Yokai!
3DS confirm to soffer fatigue, I would like to see some sort of impact from Yokai2, and the introduction of the 2DS; Vita confirms to be healthier than before, Wii U I hope can hang on around 10k in order to at least match its '13 YTD, PS4 seems suffer slighlty less than few weeks ago

MK8 still selling well. Wii U still holding above 10k.

Still good on a struggling market.

PQ is really solid. And that Yokai Watch is just unstoppable!

You're forgetting Wii Sports Club in mid-July.

"Don't forget Wii Sports Club in July!" he whispered without much hope.

I'm not too versed in Japanese release schedules but Nintendo seem to be banking on those two and Smash Bros on 3DS to give them the edge during the general August/September period.

I assume they expected Mario Kart 8 to be able to ride out the waves for the upcoming time period due to the perceived franchise power. The best I'm expecting right now is a potential bundle during summer.

EDIT: Oh yeah Wii Sports Club. I keep forgetting that one.
 
How does the 3ds compare to PSP? And on a worldwide scale? Is it selling better?

3ds is at 42million, right?

There is 0 chance the 3DS catches up to the PSP which is at 80 million WW. Maybe in Japan, even then I am wary as it depends on how well it performs in the holidays and when a successor is announced.

It likely won't reach PSP worldwide sales. It will fall behind the PSP in the US this year. It will take a long while yet to pass the PSP's Japanese numbers. While the PSP actually sold surprisingly well in Europe, at least it seemed so everytime we got a tidbit of European data.

Channel power shouldn't be an issue though. Don't forget, Sega was the distribution partner for Atlus games even under Index.
