If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Capcom must be really happy with those MHX numbers. Not bad, not bad at all.

Holy fuck that top 5 SW and that HW!
Hoping #FE will somehow get up to 50k LTD in the end.

@post above: avatar quote?

Too bad for FE
Good hold for Monster Strike
Great legs for MHX splatoon and SMM
Very good sales for every HW but Wii u sales are really something..
Do we have a firm comparison for its ytd against 2013 results?
 
Crickey, that WiiU hardware is nice. Though Vita is also up 20k WoW which is pretty nice too!

Poor Gundam. Even the price slash couldn't save it. And poor Medabots too:

3DS Medabots 7: Metabee / Rokusho 60,285 / 107,751
3DS Medabots Dual: Metabee / Rokusho 19,839 / 48,453
3DS Medabots 8: Metabee / Rokusho 35,915 / 52,838
3DS Medarot 9: Kabuto / Kuwagata 21.735 / ???

Well this was a bad week for new releases as expected. Gundam probably won't be able to get through that shipment even in the bargain bin.

I very much enjoyed watching Splatoon constantly stay in the ranks all year. Truly fascinating.
 
Great HW sales all around. Splatoon and Minecraft beasting with their legs. Battlefront also seeing some increase because of Episode VII after all.

Wii U is up year over year and a new console is about to be announced.

Is that a first?

Not only up YoY, but practically destroying (+35%) the year of MK8 and SSB 4 in terms of sales.

Splatoon, the mad beast.

SMT X FE seems to be too Japanese even for the Japanese market.
 
Mario Maker possibly a future million seller? Crazy to think that the Wii U will end with more million sellers than the PS3.

i don't understand why Microsoft even released the Xbox One in Japan. I can't see one good reason they wouldn't just ditch the market there. They sold less in lifetime sales than the WiiU or the Vita did in like 4-5 days .. the freaking PS3 outsold it almost 4:1 this year.
 
Gundam Vita games comparison):

PSV Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny 40,038 / 65,767
PSV Gundam Breaker 32,115 / 59,365
PSV Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn 44,889 / 96,021
PSV Gundam Breaker 2 54,608 / 131,979
PSV Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs-Force 69.985 / ???

Highest opening yet, but this is also the first that hasn't been multi-plat since SEED Battle Destiny, and it was also (supposed to be) part of a fairly popular subseries. Won't have any legs thanks to the price slashes already in force, I'd have thought.

We're calling it Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem even until the end, huh. I guess both franchises are too big to be called something different.
 
3DS hw & sw quite impressive; evergreen and new games are slaying the chart.

Wii U is also selling well, despite everything. Crazy how Splatoon was able to revitalize the sale of this platform so much.

22./00. [3DS] Animal Crossing: New Leaf # <ETC> (Nintendo) {2012.11.08} (¥4.800) - 10.331 / 4.445.087 <80-100%>

Immortal.

are those splatoon sales coming off bundles?
Its hard to say, since the splatoon bundle sold out during the middle of the week and Splatoon was always a more valued game that Mario maker in Japan, which also got a bundle and is doing well. We never knew how much was the shipment of the splatoon bundle also...

And those are great number for #fe and shows that there is certainly an audience for otaku games on wiiu, since it did the same as the idea factory games do on other consoles.
 
3 million for Wii U next week ? PS4 & PS Vita also up year on year this week too. I expected a better hold for Fallout 4, but with 150K already, the western PS4 crowd is at work here.

They just don't lose Japan, they lose all Asia.

Mario Maker WiiU Bundle is not limited, it will be available until Wii U gets discounted.
It will hit a million for sure, eventually.
