lol

 

[braves01]

XB1 got 187'd.

 

[Nightbird]

Ouch @ Xenoblade.

But at least it should be over 100k now including the digital Version

 

[stilgar]

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



*Also, consoles are still in a pitiful state.

 

[Eolz]

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

 

[Firemind]

Except Minecraft, everything's on 3DS or Wii U. Crazy.

Also, pretty meh week overall, especially Hardware.

I guess everyone in Japan owns a 3DS now?

 

[Coolwhip]

How much money did XBX cost to make? Must have been a lot.

 

[crinale]

WiiU below PS4 already?

 

[Welfare]

I'm surprised the Wii U stayed above 10k.

Pretty big drops for XCX and DQ.

 

[Occam]

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

 

[Fandangox]

XBCX should be over 100k with digital now.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Poor Monolith, will they get 500k ww?

 

[Ricky 7]

Software charts are back to looking like normal for now.

 

[openrob]

That's quite an improvement for Wii U, no?
I am used to seeing weeks of 6k

 

[Nirolak]

Relatively good software legs for several titles here, like Bravely Second imo.

Yeah in a mere 2-3 more weeks it might catch up with the first game's debut!

 

[braves01]

What are the people who purchased PS4s playing? Nothing?

They are still awaiting greatness.

 

[Mpl90]

Ok, 19 v.s. 1 is quite ridiculous :lol When was the last time something like this happened?

 

[Kresnik258]

Pretty terrible week. Just as you said though, Hiska.

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

 

[Kouriozan]

RPG usually get a 80% drops.

 

[Ke0]

187 on Xbox One, I repeat we have a code 187 on Xbox One.

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.

When the only Vita game is a Microsoft game.

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

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

That's quite an improvement for Wii U, no?
I am used to seeing weeks of 6k

? It was 20k last week because of Xenoblade release, it's still dropping.

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

 

[Bioshocker]

OK, so Wii U is back on earth again.

If you're expecting this game to go much further please join us the next three weeks.

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.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Yeah in a mere 2-3 more weeks it might catch up with the first game's debut!

lol

I'm guessing 180k LTD RIP in pieces

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

 

[Wiggy]

minecraft continues to race up the vita bestseller list, God Eater 2 must be sweating now

 

[Moor-Angol]

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....

 

[phanphare]

Top 20

3DS - 14
WIU - 5
PSV - 1

haha, what?

 

[Kudo]

What a week, no surprises or anything, really boring.

 

[Nirolak]

haha, what?

It's the second half of Golden Week, which is generally a good period for Nintendo.

Well, as good as you can consider this year's trainwreck... but still stronger for them than the rest of the trainwreck.

You can literally apply this logic to anything.

 

[Aostia]

pretty weak week ovearll, at least XBX should be over 100k with digital sales
Maybe it will catch DQX3.0 Wii U edition at the end

 

[Raoh]

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.

 

[Wiggy]

Were there no new releases this week? Or did none of them chart?

 

[Moor-Angol]

3DS - 24,711
PSV - 17,199
PS4 - 14,591
WiiU - 8,864
PS3 - 3,480
XBO - 256

Used, PS plus and downloaded games.

Yeah, Microsoft must be stoked!

 

[crinale]

All things considered, I think Xbox One is selling really well in Japan given the circumstances.

 

[KooopaKid]

19/20 games on Nintendo platforms.
WiiU not dropping below 10k means only one thing: Japan is prepping for Splatoon.

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"
