Media Create Sales: Week 43, 2013 (Oct 21 - Oct 27)

Aww yeah, you go Vita. Nothing major for it released this week, and there's only two games for the system in the chart, yet it only dipped by 1000 sales.

Folks really need to take a look at Sonic game numbers in Japan before posting... Really.

This is getting ridiculous.

Sonic was created for the west, specifically America, really. The more disappointing numbers for Sonic will be the NPD numbers next month.

Also like he ignores how poorly Lost Worlds did on the 3DS as well.

I wonder where the 3DS will stabilize at.

Pretty average week.

The 3DS was able to increase its baseline to 100,000 per week. I believe it was selling at 40,000 per week over March-Sept. before Mon Hun 4 came out.

Funny how expectations change over a couple of months.

Vita the Rocky Balboa of video games.

How is PSN+ in japan when it comes to vita games? Sony needs to use PSN+ to lure people into getting a Vita, worked for me.

It will be interesting to see how Vita will do in the next months, with Vita TV and PS4.
 
Nothing of note this week, cool to see Vita holding on though. I wonder what numbers the WiiU will put up next week with the bundle, perhaps a spike? If so, anything larger than 15k will surprise me given its low numbers over the past month and its no guarantee that they'd be able to hold any momentum that it'd gain.

Well, the last releases weren't the kind that light up the charts in Japan, to be honest. I don't think anyone was eager to play Rayman and Sonic... And those were all of the releases that the Wiiu saw on october.

I think if the bundles don't go well, Nintendo is screwed. One more month of bad sales, no releases till Mario (and even him could only push the system a little better)... Nintendo better pray to God.

Wonderful 101 and Zelda performed poorly as well.
I really don't expect the bundles to do much either because there's NO interest in the system or games.

Basically it's a Mario machine and nothing more. Not a healthy situation.

Nice. The champion(2nd place) just dropped 1k from last week. Not bad for the champion. As for WiiU, I hope it can at least get to 20k next week. It will be disappointing if it won't make that number.

It's a Mario bundle that precedes a major Mario game. It'll do well. We just don't know how well.
 
Wow at Wii U, hopefully that bundle helps. If it doesn't crack 20,000 after these last few weeks I think that has to be read as a disappointment.

Anyone have a release schedule for the Wii U and Vita complete with hardware releases (bundles and Vita TV)?

Fantastic numbers for 3DS but ok for Vita. So I can guess that Vita sales will be around 100-125k when Vita TV and GE2 releases and the 3DS is at 70k if it keeps dropping like that?

Interesting. Looks like it really died along with the Dreamcast. While the rest of the world's Sonic fanbase transitioned to Nintendo mostly, Japan's just said "fuck it".

It pretty much had no chance.

A Monster Hunter 4 bundle releases right before GE2 releases, so 3DS will probably still do similar numbers to now. And it's nearing the holidays, so numbers will not drop that much.

Good vita hold. Also, next week Poké Hunter 3M on Famitsu!

Wii U so far has been pretty disappointing, next week will be interesting to see.

Did the "fanbase" transit, or is it simply easier to find new casual fans among kids in the rest of the world compared to Japan? Food for thought.

I don't think so. At least not in Japan. Mario sold like 550k, where Nintendoland sold 350k, Monhan and Pikmin both sold more than 200k (even if Pikmin was a disappointment compared to the last ones).DQX with it's supossedly download sales are getting there too... It's hardly a Mario machine. I expect to see Wii party u selling much more than all of the software that came for it in the last couple of months combined and i'm not even expecting to do that well considering the last one sold millions.

Wonderful 101 was a nice game. I don't think it was as good as everyone here do and i totally understand the reason for people not wanting to even try, but, for me, the product here is very faulty and the demographics weren't there, so, it tanking was reasonable. Tanking that hard was on wiiu, but it just wasn't meant to be.

At least the Lost World 3DS sold more then the Generations 3DS in first week. That's a good thing, right? Guys?...guys....someone out there... :(

PS: every multilplat Sonic game sold more on Nintendo plataforms. That 90's mascot love! :)
 
Nice - I'm surprised with the Vita hold.
GTA still selling decently.

I didn't know these baseball games are this popular in Japan .
Next week will be the Wii u time to shine.

As expected, pretty boring week overall. Wasn't expecting Vita to be at 25k, but then again, I derped hard and thought it was at 15k last week. Wii U reeally needs those bundles, but I'm starting to believe they won't do much. And my 3DS predictions were also off : was expecting to not to drop below 100k before ealy 2014, but guess I was wrong. Still good to see it higher than 2012 so far!
