Captain Toad should reach 100k by next week
Where the doubters now? mgrrr
I have to admit, for someone that lacks legs the Captain has found a way to keep on trucking.

I see the series still has a big following.
The answer is in the post you quoted.

Based Level 5.
should've done a ps4 version for a 4k bump
Preview for next week:
PS3 : Gundam Breaker ( Bandai Namco ) { 2013-06-27 } - 170,020 / 240,321
PSV : Gundam Breaker ( Bandai Namco ) { 2013-10-31 } - 32,115 / 44,583
PS2 : Godzilla: Save the Earth ( Atari ) { 2004-12-09 } - 9,492 / 20,293
SDC : Godzilla Generations ( SEGA ) { 1998-11-27 } - 14,668 / 22,870
(Do Godzilla games sell that poorly that only two made a Famitsu chart?)
Very nice PS4 numbers. It'll be interesting to see what bundle sold the most (GTAV or DQH). If it was the DQH then it'll lessen the HW impact when DQH launches next year.
WII U sales in the toilet. I blame the expensive bundles and the console reaching market saturation. The only big guns left for it (besides the holiday effect) are Zelda (even selling less each iteration in Japan I think it'd have more HW impact this time), Animal Crossing U and a price drop. Grim perspective for the Wii U in Japan.
And the 3DS HW sales are a disappointment as the last weeks were indicating. At least Nintendo has the amiibo fever in the US to compensate the disappointing sales in Japan.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Wii U HW Japanese sales are such a massive disappointment this holiday season.
Wii U's Global HW Shipments for Q3 (1.96 million) might resemble what they achieved last year as a result of Japan's poor performance.

I doubt it can sale 94k in the short time it has left.

So much for PS4 having worse holiday than Vita during 2012. Of course that is not exactly high bar to beat but there were some people speculating it during the summer.

Poor Guilty Gear... 
The PS4 numbers have me really interested in seeing how the PS4 will do in Japan once Japanese current gen only games start coming out.

It's doing bad cause it has basically no support from 3rd party
Minecraft Vita surpassed 100k downloads in Japan according to PS Twitter

sorry if old.

Nice week for Wii U. Sold a little bit more than last week, also good numbers for Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8 and it is great to see Captain Toad doig "well".
But Nintendo still needs to put more games on Wii U, or else it will be always like this.
And New 3DS is doing quite well.
I thought that Sonic Boom / Toon would be in this week chart, but it will be released tomorrow, but I believe that it will bomb hard.

Why the fuck would we want another 6 year Nintendo Console Gen?
5 is normal, lets hope for that.
it deffo won't take four years to release a new console, i suppose we could see both handheld and home releasing the same year if these rumours about them making a unified platform end up being true
great numbers for 3DS, good for PS4, WiiU is eh
but Toad, MK8 getting a boost is good news

As long as they make money they can survive anything
its not like it is new territory for Nintendo. The Gamecube and N64 both sold about like the Wii U is.

I dont think that PS4 doing 1 million before 2015 is completely unrealistic. Its 2,5 weeks left, depends much on how people view the last week, where 3 days are in 2014. But regardless, i dont think its that important because it will be relatively close either way.
I just noticed that PS3 passed 10 million, Famitsu numbers.

Nobody, not even Nintendo, is reasonably thinking they will wait until 2018 before releasing a new console.
Holiday 2016 to Holiday 2017 (and that's pretty bad) is the only plausible timeframe.

You're adorable when you ignore the bigger picture
I don't ignore anything people said consoles are dead without looking into reasons,consoles are dead if they dont get a lot of 3rd party support and will do good sale if it had good support from 3rd party.
I believe that ps4 will have a big drop next week i think it will do 20k to 30k,January sale will not be that good cause their is not a lot of big games then in Fabruary and Mars it's will do well then in others month depends of what games will release.

So you're saying Consoles are dead...
Even if they release it at the same time as their new handheld?
Can Nintendo really afford a new console to go out along a brand new portable? Even if it's really easy to port games over from both of them?

Maybe Nintendo's new plan is to merge the home console and the handheld. But since this is actually a reasonable idea, I doubt it.
Eolz
Member
Not at the same time obviously, but they may plan to release it in the same year, and maybe because they have no other choice. The new handheld could be released as soon as fall 2015 (doubt it), but will probably be released around March 2016.
Honestly at this point, apart from some hints about their architecture, we don't know a lot of things. The investor meeting in January might give some new hints, but it'll probably be QOL-focused.
I think they will try to release both a lot closer in time than they did in the past. We might get a shorter gen from them too, since Iwata seemed to like the idea of smartphones being upgraded every 4 years or so.
Iwata already confirmed that for the next gen, it wouldn't be the case, but that they would function "as brothers".

People here say consoles are dead because Japanese don't like consoles i'm saying a console could sell poorly if it's not weel supported and could selling very well if it get a great support.
Ps4 look to hate a future great support that's why i think ps4 will do well

Ah ha. I should have known this. That said, it does sound like it's the direction they're moving in.

I think if they do that we will only get late port of handheld versions on next Nintendo console just like what hapened to Vita

I would guess maybe something about the same as many other hardware bundles. Maybe less regarding scapling concidering the availability of the Dragon Quest Hero hardware bundle (if the anecdotal evidences posted in this thread is the situation for Japan overall).
I wonder why it sold so poorly.
I think its more likely that it would be multiplatform games released at the same time.

I really don't see how these 3DS numbers are good when they just released a huge revision a huge game came out and they are still down YoY.I guess it just shows how awful the 3DS numbers could have been if they didn't release the n3DS. Wii U numbers are just awful.

Imagine how tragic 3DS would have been without YW and the revision. Truth is, disappointing numbers but way better than what could have been otherwise. 3DS is declining YOY but it's still the most popular system by a wide margin.

Ps3 to psv port are easy and we didn't get multiplatform games so i fear it will happen to Nintendo too but maybe i'm wrong.
Hmmm, does it mean that the sales will decrease the following week?

Did you expect higher numbers than last year? This is the 4th year on the market for the 3DS and the circumstances are quite harsh considering the boom of smartphones and that everything else is quite dead.
It reached a point of decline in it's product life cycle, that's pretty normal.
I think people has been a bit too negative on the revision's performance in the past few weeks, but I also think that, while still good numbers, this week could have been a bit higher, even without considering the "OG 3DS" anomaly. And, still, we must see how things go in January. But, above all...I hope we get a Nintendo Direct with news about New 3DS (games) soon. We need to know more
1) Games with special features for the platform
2) Games exclusive to the platform
3) Nintendo games' feature
4) Nintendo games overall. So far we know about Majora's Mask 3D, Codename: S.T.E.A.M. and Xenoblade Chronicles. There must be more announcements soon.

Yeah, it's scary. Without YW exploding in popularity and the new revision I doubt the 3DS would have sold much higher than 2-2.3M in 2014.
That would have been awful for the japanese market.

During the holiday season? Yes, last year's numbers during the holidays were't particularly good and it didn't have a huge release like Yokai either in December. We'll have to wait and see if after the holidays numbers drop back to pre revision levels this year.

I thought you're talking about the whole year.
Yeah, it probably could've/should've been more this holiday season then. Obviously, the "decline effect" is larger than the revision and Yokai Watch effect. (unfortunately)
Really looking forward to 2015 performance.

I think we would see more multiplatforms if Nintendo really wanted to merge the handheld and console together as "one system". That said though, i dont think that will happen. I'm sure that Nintendo will threat the systems as two different systems, giving them exclusive games.
