What its genuine feeling bro
its fascinating how one system dominates in this region while overseas there is a greater spread

Wii U bundles came on week 44, so there's still some time left before last year's numbers stop looking like garbage
Sony didn't fuck up anything, 3DS was just the better choice for Capcom and MH.

Yeah.
I dunno if that will help either though. Its almost like they only have space for one winner in the region.
Has here ever been a competitive balance in sales terms?
Now im curious. Like when SEGA/SONY/Nintendo we battling it out was there clear dominance?

Must be waiting for nXbox One.

That could make some sense.
Yeah, but for nearly every other product demand falls through the floor when a new model is introduced...
Here they dipped a bit before going back up...
Haha, this may be the most likely reason
thank you. I wonder if they are hiding new bundles to avoid even more contraction. without new bundles to me it's impossible for Toad (november) and Smash (december) to push the YtD higher than last year's one.

Calm down guys. The Xbox One just came out so the library of games is still small. Typical post-launch drought. It'll pick up a bit during the holidays.
Remember the Wii U was selling pretty badly in its first year too until Pikmin 3 gave it a sales boost.
Vita YTD number is better than previous year and I can't say the same about 3DS.
With MonHun in competition, you gotta wait for it to settle down before getting some boost from the other 3DS software. Though they are already selling pretty well even at a decline.
On a related note, With a new YW2 version at the end of the year and Smash n3DSXL bundle (?) in November, they might give respective franchises some sales bumps.

Revision isn't only about hardware specs you know. But also form factors and such. Being ahead isn't the problem, which is cleary the reason why OG 3DS vastly outsold Vita.
Funny you say this, but I fucking hope that NCL aren't daft enough to ignore WiiU games for their next platform. Having them available for both handheld(s) and console must happen, in some form or another.
Before its launch I really didn't expect Xbone to get into triple digits until 2015, what with the launch effect followed by some semblance of a holiday effect to keep it above 1,000. This is insane though, is 150,000 LTD on the cards for the system? Yikes.
I suspect we'll see lower drops or even slight increases in 3DS software next week when Monster Hunter is cannibalizing sales a little less.
Means very little. The 3DS is selling enough to be a viable console for 3rd party developers and Nintendo to invest in. The Vita is not.

Vita is the true champion, indeed.
Btw, isn't this Smash number a little bit low? Is there the chart comparison with previous episodes?
Hmm? New 3ds and monster hunter.
The Vita sells like a normal console so sales collapsing means people are waiting for a new model
Week before 2000 launch they hit 3k.

Ok, that doesn't tell me anything. And it says "2" on the box, not "2.5", so what is 2.5? A revisions? A "G" version?
I meant original 3DS. I have heard of Monster Hunter;-)
A; the form factor hasn't changed.
B; you clearly didn't read my post past the first line.
Smash could be supply constrained still

Its supplies the niche for sure. Almost guaranteed 100k sales on niche titles it seems.
They wont ever get the big money from mega million sellers that the 3DS has but whatever
I'm surprised it stayed in quadruple digits as long as it did.

Think of it as a G version. It has the content that both the separate games have into one plus some extra stuff.
It also a rare medal and will sell amazingly well.

Launch of New 3DS + decreased prices for older models.
Wait. A new YW2, Smash n3DSXL bundle, Pokemon and final fantasy still to come out by year's end?
3ds is wrecking shit.
haven't seen anything pointig at this, so far. Just MH4G and N3DS (both models) seem to be supply constrained.
Maybe is was a week too focused on MH.
Damn. That Monster Hunter. Wow.
So we've got three million sellers in Japan this year? Yo-Kai Watch 2, Smash Bros., and Monster Hunter 4G.
I think that's highly unlikely given the launch schedule of the New 3DS. EDIT: They also have games like Code Name S.T.E.A.M. and the inevitable Majora's Mask remake and Pokemon X and Y direct sequels that they'll probably release next year, in my opinion.
I do think there will be a new handheld from Nintendo in 2016 however.
