The latest figures from Japan's Media Create are in, showing that last year's trend has been fully reversed. Now the consumers are hungry for Nintendo's 3DS, given that it shipped 121,921 units in the week ending April 1st. That put it comfortably ahead of the PlayStation 3 (23,771), PSP (18,356) and PS Vita's (12,105) sales combined. The stats reveal that the 3DS is now accounting for 65 percent of all hardware sales in the country, a marked turnaround from when the console's future looked gloomy. Meanwhile, the biggest selling game was Kingdom Hearts 3D for Nintendo's newest handheld, which managed to shift over 200,000 units in just seven days.

They can't drop the PS2 from sales tables until the X360 manages to start outselling it.

 

[Boney]

Well, there's the MC threads...

plus KH was on sale for 4 days, like most new releases, not 7.

 

[TheOGB]

Time for Pokemon.

OH WAIT

 

[Auto_aim1]

Already posted - Media Create Sales thread for this week. This is just the same thing from Engadget with a sensationalist headline.

[kittens]

I want to meet someone who wasted money on this!

 

[Jumpman23]

I really like the post that one of them had after the article "Nintendo, doomed since 1886". That quote made me chuckle a bit.

 

[Interfectum]

But can it play Uncharted?

 

[Bomber Bob]

xperia play

 

[Gospel]

Another country still stuck in the handheld ghetto

 

[Koroviev]

I blame Monster Hunter.

Spoiler

I like my 3DS. I would like it even more with Monster Hunter and Fire Emblem.

 

[Trojita]

Vita outselling 4 Nintendo Devices.

GBA, Gamecube, Wii, and DS

 

[survivor]

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Time for Pokemon.

OH WAIT

do you really want a blowout bro?

 

[Kyoufu]

smh.

PSP outsells Vita so...... smh indeed.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

smh.

Why is the PSP not legitimate? It outsells the Vita and definitely moves a hell of a lot more software than the Vita.

If we dismiss PSP then Vita should also be struck from the list.

 

[Wario64]

PS2? So it's a sensational headline. Why not include PSX and Pocketstation while you're at it?

 

[davepoobond]

i would think that it is more of a cumbersome "victory" considering the total market has shrunk, hasn't it?

 

[chickdigger802]

Vita outselling 4 Nintendo Devices.

GBA, Gamecube, Wii, and DS

#gamechanger

I'm pretty sure that's what they tell their investors.

 

[Koroviev]

I thought the PS2 was still a notable contender. I mean, dat library.

Well, PSP, okay. But PS2? Why not the PSX or that SNES extension they were working on, while your at it?

EDIT: Kinda beaten by Wario64.

PS2 is still selling and sales are still being counted by all Japanese trackers, Media-Create, Famitsu and Dengeki.

 

[Koroviev]

EDIT: Kinda beaten by Wario64.

The PSX and the SNES aren't moving more units than a current-gen console.

PS2:
I thought I told you that we won't stop
I thought I told you that we won't stop
I thought I told you that we won't stop
I thought I told you that we won't stop

 

[RukusProvider]

That's a valid point. I wonder how many of the Sony execs know they have a tablet on the market.

 

[Vazra]

Media Create Sales: Week 13, 2012 (Mar 26 - Apr 01)

 

[wrowa]

PS2? So it's a sensational headline. Why not include PSX and Pocketstation while you're at it?

Because it's an article about the latest Media Create numbers and Media Create still releases PS2 numbers every week...

It's really not that hard to understand, is it?

 

[walking fiend]

engadget put articles for pac-man charts? -_-

ps2 and psp? that's funny.

They outsell PSV 2:1?

 

[BY2K]

Because it's an article about the latest Media Create numbers and Media Create still releases PS2 numbers every week...

The PS2 is over a decade old. The REAL news would be if it was the PS2 outselling the 3DS.

 

[gogogow]

ps2 and psp? that's funny.

What's so funny, esp. the PSP? In Japan the PSP was selling extremely well, unlike the performance in the US and Europe. In Japan it was the best selling gaming console in 2010 and second best in 2008, 2009, 2011.

 

[jimmypython]

it's the power of monster hunter.

I simply blame the useless SCEJ.

 

[Huff]

Im sure the sales crowd has already seen this.

 

[Lkr]

gaf told me the 3ds was doomed around the time of the pricecut though

 

[Josh7289]

gaf told me the 3ds was doomed around the time of the pricecut though

Now Sony is doomed.

 

[djplaeskool]

Now Sony is doomed.

God...I can only imagine the sheer pandemonium that will be unleashed if the WiiU doesn't take off like a rocket.
