Really good hold for Vita. Things should improve in the upcoming weeks as well. It's in a good position now leading to the holidays. We'll know if the same can be true of WiiU soon.
Still, sales have been in a bad state all year, so it'll be interesting to see what the bundles can do for the baseline.

It had like 7k baseline before annoucement - even if we assume it would keep that baseline without any new releases that's like 12-15k people waiting for bundles

The bundles will save Wii U. The extremely low numbers of the past year are a sign of unprecedented demand boiling to be released once they are available.

I can see Vita increasing next week.
Pokemon will take the lead next week, and both will cross the 3 million mark at retail!
I thought those days were over.

Sports games are something for casual/mainstream market - that part still haven't migrated from PSP (or migrated to 3DS)

I wish we had a clearer picture of the digital sales. Apparently Vita's digital sales are a higher share than most other consoles. Varying from title to title of course.

Sonic doing about what one expects of it in Japan these days.
Nice hold for Vita.
Next week will be interesting for Wii U. We can see how much of these beyond terribad sales were due to consumer anticipation. Vita-2000 was surprising, and has set a relatively high bar all things considered.

Code:
| WIU | [B]2.598[/B] | 2.999 | | 470.222 | | 1.097.509 |The darkest week before the dawn of a new era. This will be the lowest point in it's life until the console is officially decommissioned and it reaches Wii weekly numbers in a few years time. Seriously anticipating 20 to 30 times the weekly number next week.

I know Sonic's always been more of a western thing, but damn. Wonderful 101 not feeling so bad about itself now.
That'd be an amazing stat if true, considering their expensive proprietary memory cards.

Woah we get the charts an hour earlier?

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Vita HOLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDD.
Hope Nintendo paid Sega adequately for Lost World exclusivity. But then again, Sega loves making shitty deals.
And lo, WiiU hits its lowest. All eyes on bundles next week and just what if anything this system will survive on. Fast forward to next Wednesday please, shit is gonna be fascinating.

In the forthcoming race to 3 million gif, both MH4 and PX/Y will cross the finish line at the same time.

It hasn't had stock issues for a couple of weeks now.

No one outside of Gaf cares about the OLED. Colors are the important thing.
I find it baffling that we're at a point where the Vita is outselling Nintendo's console ten-to-one, and yet that's the only way you can spin it so it sounds decent.
I own and enjoy both systems (and a 3DS), but damn. 3DS got Japan on lock and nobody's gonna touch it. Really interested to see how the PS4 pans out there in the first few months.

3DS doing that work.
I'm really stunned to see WiiU even lower. That's bottom of the barrel. Was PS3 this bad at it's lowest of lows and for how long was it that down?
Did Sonic release for WiiU? Hopefully Sega brings it to other platforms because there's no way they're making money on just a WiiU SKU.

Honestly, posting this in a Japanese sales thread is really really stupid.
3ds doing great. Vita hasn't had a major drop which is pretty fantastic. Wii U doing horribly as expected. If the bundles don't do anything over this next month I don't expect anything to change until 3D World.
And if this wasn't confirmation enough, Japan really doesn't like Sonic, hell even the 3DS version sold horribly.

Battery life is better and it's a good amount more comfortable to hold.

Not to mention the smaller size, better battery life and internal 1gb memory that makes it easier to casuals to pick it up.
They're going to reap just what they've sown.
We'll see in January.

Yeah, expect most of Sonic's sales to come from the West. The Americas will eat it up. Sonic's last stronghold. Japan could care less.
Yes, but a few weeks ago they announced massively good value bundles at a slightly reduced price for release on October 31st

1. Why wouldn't it go lower? The bundles are coming next week. This is what usually happens to hardware before a bundle or price drop.
2. Sonic never sells well in Japan. I think Nintendo and Sega knew that quite clearly when they agreed to the exclusivity agreement.
Going from 60k to 25k is not a major drop?
It's just that Sonic doesn't deserve anything in my eyes and Sega should just kill him off. Personal opinion.

Considering Generations didn't chart at all in Japan, this is a step up.
Well it's a good thing you don't work for Sega since your personal opinion would be burning one of their most consistent sources of income.

Looks like the third BD/DVD volume of the Dangan Ronpa anime series got released on the 23rd, might have inspired more people to pick up the game at the same time.I told people they are underestimating danganronpa
11./10. [PSV] Dangan-Ronpa 1-2: Reload <ADV> (Spike Chunsoft) {2013.10.10} (¥5.229) - 10.459 / 96.162 (+10%)
but more seriously what happened here that it increased ?
