Luigi crosses 900'000

That's quite a feat. Also 3DS LTD > Wii LTD.

 

[frankie_baby]

Blimey, that's a lot lower than I'd have thought.

that's direct eshop sales, they also stated 150k for download cards

 

[Lexxism]

MH for Vita will chase these threads forever. And we have the new Vita savior lately, VitaTV.

and don't forget FFX-X/2 that will help Vita to sell like hotcakes.

 

[metalslimer]

Vita TV will save Vita like Wonderful 101 saved the Wii U.

Now that's just mean

Spoiler

At least Vita sales won't drop the week it comes out

 

[Metallix87]

Blimey, that's a lot lower than I'd have thought.

First week was only two days. 100k digital plus 150k retail download cards isn't too bad for two days, is it?

 

[SmokyDave]

Aye, I know. It's still 'only' 10-15% of sales. That said, I'm not up on how big the eShop is, that might well be relatively high.

I meant as a proportion of sales, not as an absolute number. I thought this'd be a title that might be pretty digital-heavy as people would always want it on their 3DS.

It will go higher, The only reason AC got so high was because of the sellouts

 

[BriBri]

I love Vinnk's Village Mini reports. Keep them coming.

How the hell can they not print enough download cards?

And I've listed the all-time best selling 3DS RPG's on the eShop (with four retail titles) at http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=83640273

 

[BlackJace]

Pyrrhic victory for the Wii U I guess
3DS stays sluggin
Vita seems to be going through a slump
PS3 is doing alright

 

[benao]

They'll make a Vita, and it will be proclaimed as the greatest thing to ever happen to handheld gaming.

Why so bitter.

and don't forget FFX-X/2 that will help Vita to sell like hotcakes.

I see what you did there. People are taking this comments seriously, and it's just feeding the rage.

 

[DrROBschiz]

They really dont care for digital over there do they?

 

[Kazerei]

I'm kind of surprised too, that download cards actually sell out. They should be trivial to make, and they're great for Nintendo -- no resale, exposes people to the eShop, and keeps retailers happy.

 

[Phazon]

As if 3DS wasn't already in complete beast mode I have a feeling this will be an accurate depiction of Pokémon week.

Someone ( https://twitter.com/Il_Giuda) did a quick PS for me

hahaha. oh man, poor Vita.

 

[Zoe]

A streaming device? Why buy it when you have stuff like the WDTV live or the Roku which are both cheaper and more able?

The Roku and WDTV are sold in Japan for under 10,000Y with support for Japanese streaming apps?

 

[zroid]

Someone ( https://twitter.com/Il_Giuda) did a quick PS for me

now that's just cruel

 

[vctor182]

Anyway, good sales for MH4, for people comparing to 3rd don't forget it did not launch during December holidays and there's eshop sales missing.

this is interesting

we noticed this last week, but it's amazing how much effect MH had on XL sales, while how little it had on OG 3DS.

 

[BitStyle]

Someone ( https://twitter.com/Il_Giuda) did a quick PS for me

Should replace "Vita" with "other consoles" for greater effect.

 

[saichi]

Vinnk's Village Mini

3. Wonderful 101 hasn't price dropped yet. But it's only a matter of time.

When it happens, you need to get two caopies and put it beside your Captain Rainbow collection.

Vita TV will save Vita like Wonderful 101 saved the Wii U.

Cold

 

[Yoshi]

Monster Hunter is played on commutes a lot, isn't it? So I'd think the more protable small 3DS could benefit from that...

[Kouriozan]

3DS is a monster as usual, but I'm surprised that the Wii U managed to sell better than the Vita which has a new game in the top 5 while Wii U has none in the top 20.
These coming weeks will sure be interesting for both.

 

[jwhit28]

The benefit is that for every person with a Vita there are close to 7 with a 3DS. Monster Hunter is a game best played in local co-op.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

They really dont care for digital over there do they?

Expensive games will contribute to a strong used games culture, yes. MH4 is $60 USD.

Lmao, this is so cruel.

 

[DaBoss]

That's only said by souppadouppa (or something, sorry if I spelt it wrong). You gotta admire the determination.

Someone ( https://twitter.com/Il_Giuda) did a quick PS for me

That guy getting beat up should be Vita and Wii U and maybe even every other console in the market that is still selling and being tracked.
It's not only the Vita that is going to be affected.

 

[SmokyDave]

Replace it with 'Wii U' and watch as some people don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I will.

2 of those Captain Rainbow copies are signed now.

 

[Canis lupus]

MH4 beastin, Wii U overtaking Vita, interesting what bump Zelda HD will cause.

the Wonderful 101 bump. the negative bump.

Spoiler

probably not, but it won't be much lol

 

[Currygan]

everything as predicted

WiiU going up because who knows, but still, it's a battle of the losers between it and the Vita, which just keeps on sinking

 

[StreetsAhead]

the Wonderful 101 bump. the negative bump.

Spoiler

10K Wii U on 25K for WWHD.

 

[Frodo]

Do we know the size of the first shipment for Wind Waker?

WW is not even showing on pre-order charts, I guess most of us overestimated the demand for it in Japan on the prediction league. Will be another TW101 situation (where all the predictions were massively overestimated).

 

[Mpl90]

I fear Wind Waker won't have that much of an impact on hardware sales, especially due to the lack of the bundle.

 

[Javier]

Monster Hunter 4 surpassed Mario Kart 7 in lifetime sales.

Monster indeed.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Cruel gif...

 

[Metallix87]

Replace it with 'Wii U' and watch as some people don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Difference is that Wii U actually has games coming out this Holiday season that might help.

 

[Frodo]

We need a update on the race for 2 millions gif.

Zelda never does that well in Japan, and this one isn't even a new title. I'd guess it does 50k - 60k first week at best.

 

[KillerMan91]

Aside from MH4 and 3DS Japanese market really is down the shitter. Not to mention that even 3DS is well behind DS pace in sales. Maybe I am just too negative person.

 

[sajj316]

That gif is brutal .. as a Vitabro .. am cry .. but I did chuckle before I starting crying

 

[Metallix87]

You are. 3DS is only behind the DS because it's still more expensive. 2DS and Pokemon will go a long way to help it start catching up some more.

Well behind the most successful handheld console ever, what a shame.
Yes, you are a tad too negative

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

We need a WiiU one, but what do we label as the guys?

 

[zroid]

Iwata, Miyamoto, Reggie, and Shibata

 

[Currygan]

considering the completely different circumstances surrounding today's market compared to what it was during the DS, yeah, you are being very negative

 

[Kid Ying]

Also, it wasn't mentioned, but i think it was a good start for both Nobunaga and Sangokushi. Those kind of games almost never even chart. To see Nobunaga selling almost 10k is crazy. Sangokushi is not on the same level, but it still is better than nothing.

Today they are going to release Sangoku 12 with power up kit on PS3, Wiiu and Vita. I think even on three consoles, it's not going to pass the 3DS version.

But, well, who cares. It's not like those games were big to begin with.

Also, i think WW will open with 30k sales, which means it's not going to pass 20k. Maybe Wiiu will get closer to 10k, but i don't believe it will get there.

 

[SmokyDave]

Difference is that Wii U actually has games coming out this Holiday season that might help.

And it'll still be getting curb-stomped by the 3DS, so the gif will still fit.

lol

We need a WiiU one, but what do we label as the guys?

Leave them exactly as they are. It still works.

 

[Elfteiroh]

I find it very funny that the first page of these threads are ALWAYS a faithful recap of the last page of the previous thread. xD

But yeah. 3DS is a beast. Monster Hunter continue to be awesome. I still hope that Nobunaga game get released here...

[EDIT]
Also, I really don't like all these talk of everything going mobile now... I really hate gaming on the phone, and I'm really not interested in developing for it... well, at least, not exclusively. Damn, I was born SO LATE.
