Man, the Holidays and Nintendo go together like peanut butter and jelly, per usual.

Splatoon is SO close to hitting that firm physical million!

This is the first week ever since its release that AC amiibo is out of the top 30 in famitsu. It never sold well to begin with, but to get out on the biggest weeks of the year when there's a hell of a shipment out there means it wont be long for the game to be on the bomba bins
 
SG0 did really well after all - at least 100k shipment seems reasonable. VD cannot even match SK debut in 2011. Idolmaster Taiko also sees low numbers - people were not anticipating this game much and the audience for the IP seems to be elsewhere.

It's nice to see the usual Nintendo holiday effect for most of 3DS & Wii U games. YW Busters is really surprising and shows how the IP is still going quite well. Splatoon and SMM also keep selling pretty well. MHX will reach expectations before the end of the year (it already sold at least 300k units on the eShop).

Also:

17./12. [3DS] Sumikko Gurashi: Omise Hajimerundesu <ETC> (Nippon Columbia) {2015.11.19} (¥5.184) - 12.506 / 41.953 (+63%)

It might sell as well as the previous entry, around 100k units.

I doubt Nintendo cares, they probably financed that game's budget by recycling soda cans they found on the street.
 
Is that good for Gravity Rush? I don't think it is, even though it's only a remaster.

Daaamn, Steins;Gate did well for itself. Look at that even performance on the Vita and PS4.

Those bumps are so high. Steins;Gate 0 selling 82k, of course I expected more, but as Hiska said they counted digital when announced it. Do we have any Wii U comparison YoY?

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Splatoon is what shows up when you look up systems seller. Talk about a shot into the arm of a dying system. Bravo.
 
28./28. [3DS] PriPara Mezase! Idol Grand Prix No.1! <ACT> (Takara Tomy) {2015.10.22} (¥5.832) - 4.885 / 54.913 <60-80%> (+84%)
30./16. [3DS] Aikatsu! My No.1 Stage! # <ACT> (Bandai Namco Games) {2015.11.26} (¥5.627) - 4.797 / 33.530 <40-60%> (+0%)

PriPara is probably cannibalizing Aikatsu sales - being quite similar games. They are both doing pretty well, though Aikatsu is declining YOY - it should not have any problem in selling at least 80k units though.
 
Yeah, Valkyrie Drive is higher than I was expecting based on all the hints we'd gotten. Not a fantastic result, but not up to the level of Marvelous' other disasters lately.

Great for Steins;gate - glad to see it doing so well.

Idolmaster not so hot though.

Hardware is awesome!

Probably not, but including digital, it'll probably do it.

we know that digitals sales should be over 300k since last week, right? I'd say that including digital it's pretty safe bet that MHX will surpass the 3 million mark within the end of the year.
more importantly, it's obviously surpassing Capcom forecast by ten miles: they forecasted 2.5 millions within the end of the fiscal year, meaning March 2016!!!

Man, the Holidays and Nintendo go together like peanut butter and jelly, per usual.
Splatoon is SO close to hitting that firm physical million!

It is true that holiday season is the most favourable to Nintendo consoles, but that would diminish Splatoon and SMMaker impact on the Japanese market. Last year there was Smash Bros release and better (in terms of actual "value" inside the pack) bundle, but the results were lower. It mus be underlined how the Wii U actually increased its price in terms of retail proposition, but Splatoon and SMM "freshness" really pushed people toward the console more than last year. At this point, I wonder how the 12 VS 15 YtD data will look like at the end of the year...

3DS is crazy, 20 milion in japan is nuts

Yep, I wasn't expecting such solid results for the last weeks of the year. it now appear more evident that the 20 millions mark could be reached within the end of 2015, with the YtD easily over 2 millions from next week
 
Is that good for Gravity Rush? I don't think it is, even though it's only a remaster.

Daaamn, Steins;Gate did well for itself. Look at that even performance on the Vita and PS4.

In a better world, such a charming game should do way better, but back in 2012, the Vita game entered at 43.462, so...

Apart from numbers, I'm quite happy at how Sony handled the launch of this game because they put some real effort behind it for a remaster : a collector with a Kat figurine, a big streaming (with a Gravity Rush 2 teasing), some funny advertising and I think there is also a big and costly billboard somewhere in Tokyo. It looks like they are going to take Gravity Rush 2 quite seriously, I'm looking forward to it.
 
21./00. [PS4] Nitro+ Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel # <ACT> (Marvelous) {2015.12.10} (¥7.549) - 7.281 / NEW <40-60%>
25./00. [PS3] Nitro+ Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel # <ACT> (Marvelous) {2015.12.10} (¥7.549) - 5.292 / NEW <40-60%>

Damn, forgot that came out this week.
 
Eventually 3DS will cross the 2m mark YTD, way above common expectations it would have decreased +50% YOY. 2014 YTD was 3.176.525; if 3DS will end at around 2,2m, it will be a 30% decrease.

Nice for MHX, YW: Busters, Splatoon & Mario Maker! Stein's gate is a JP title right? If so, I guess the PS3 is completely dead finally?

Interesting that Nintendo really couldn't line up a holiday title to go alongside Mario Maker & Splatoon... I guess Taiko is getting a little benefit of the holiday season lol since it's better than AC:AF. JD: YW wouldn't be a bad deal at a lower price at least. Let's see how these go.

Wii U hardware may get pretty close to 2013's sales... (it's already passed the 2014 LTD entirely).


Looks like Busters might get pretty close to 2M this year alone o_O.
 
I find also surprising how mainline Pokémon games are not re-appearing in the chart. This year had only MD and SR as retail releases in the franchise on 3DS, so I thought it would have been reasonable to see people picking up ORAS for example. I guess the Pokémon is really declining in Japan on dedicated devices.

As I've said multiple times, Nintendo holiday titles were always going to be Splatoon and SMM.
