Wii U almost sold more!

Awesome, now give me this game Namco.
I'm going to end up importing it even if I don't know Japanese.

I would almost say that it can't be any more terrible, but I'd regret that next week. And the week after that.

Things aren't looking good for Japan's gaming industry.

When will WiiU overtake PS4? Next week or in two weeks?

The Wii U won't overtake the PS4; the PS4 will undertake the Wii U.
 
I wonder where Japan ranks these days in ownership of modern gaming devices (the ones listed above) per capita. Still seems pretty high.

Is there an article somewhere that explains why console gaming has cratered so significantly in Japan? Has disposable income dwindled at all?

This is rather sad. 3DS is doing numbers that companies would have hoped for in a bad week. Vita is slowly edging back towards 10k. Home consoles are flatlining.

It's a dark time for the industry. Not just for Japan as these sorts of things are happening everywhere. Xbox One selling worse last month than Xbox 360 did in any April until this year.

This is so sad :(
 
Before people start commiting harakiri

Last Year numbers:

| 3DS # | 36.162 |
| PSV | 11.564 |
| PS3 | 10.738 |
| PSP # | 6.833 |
| WIU | 6.058 |
| WII | 1.189 |
| 360 | 272 |

This is mostly a post gold week effect.
 
When was the last Ps4 game released? Feels like its been at least six weeks.

I wonder what Sony was thinking. Did they expect the console to sell without any games?
I mean there is literally nothing. It not like releases are few and far apart. There is just nothing.
I wonder how long it'll take for software support to kick in on Ps4.

That makes me a bit more relieved, but there is definitely a downward trend in this industry.
