WiiU way down from last year. Considering it had a far superior line up this year it should have done a bit better.

Console market is dead. PS4 sold in its launch year just slightly over what the Wii U sold in it's first full year.

RIP console market. (/hyperbole)

RIP console market.
Why aren't those consoles without interesting games for the region not selling!? This is crazy.

Oh no, Yoshi went down :(. It couldn't break 600k confirmed (596k using Famitsu, NPD up to June, France up to May) sales in 2014.
 
Wow, great insight :thumbsup:

The Wii U had a strong line up this year (by all accounts) and was down on last year, but I suppose the Wii U can't fit in to that.

PS4 has had an atrocious first year in terms of a game line up which appeals to the Japanese market, yet still managed to sell almost a million units.
In 2015 it will have Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2 port, The Last Guardian (lol) plus many more. This guarantees a much, much better year.

Everything got a boost except the Xbone.

Also, how crazy is it that the 3DS sold almost exactly the same number of units.
 
The Wii U had a strong line up this year (by all accounts) and was down on last year, but I suppose the Wii U can't fit in to that.

Compared to its previous yeah sure but the WiiU is a dead console, only appealing to the hardcore Nintendo fan.

The console market is depending on PS4 so lets see how things turn out.

Looking at these sales it´s no surprise that there are still DQHeroes bundles available.

Console market is dead. PS4 sold in its launch year just slightly over what the Wii U sold in it's first full year.

RIP console market. (/hyperbole)

WiiU week45 (Famitsu):
1.078.560

PS4 week45 LTD (Famitsu):
925.570 (Famitsu)
 
The Wii U had a strong line up this year (by all accounts) and was down on last year, but I suppose the Wii U can't fit in to that.

Having 2 big games and half dozen smaller ones isn't strong lineup. Especially when all your games are targeted at the same type of user.

He's comparing Wii U 2013 to PS4 2014, not the same respective timeframes.

PS4's continued limp keeps astounding me. Do Japanese think Playstation became a Western brand? Did Sony shoot themselves in the foot? Should they apologize?

Wii U and Vita had strong line-ups in 2014, but they catered mostly to the same audience, so it didn't convert in hardware sales, only software sales.

While it is not bad in the short term, it is in the long term because it limits the number of potential good sellers.

Barely any games to play on it so no reason to buy one. Nothing really astounding tbh.

We'll see how it performs once the Q1 wave of software arrives.

kinda wonder if the wii u can get to 500k in japan this year. there's mario party 10 and... that will probably be its biggest seller by a longshot. maybe mario maker, but i doubt it has that wider appeal.

Vita had smallest drop YoY :D

3DS ~ 1 778 k

Wii U ~ 276 k

PS3 ~ 374 k

PSV ~ 50 k

But this just means Japan is dead blah blah.

If any other system wanted to have a drop as big as Nintendo 3DS had, over last year, it would have to sell negative amounts. Still, the 3DS has had a better year than any non-Nintendo-system other than the PSP ever had. Quite a strange result ;).

Whats more astounding is how WiiU went from 880k to 600k despite having its biggest 2 games release. I thought more Nintendo fans would of jumped when those games released.

I don't get it. Have you looked at the current lineup for the Japanese audience? It's selling as it should. February/March alone will have far more games for that audience then it did in the first 11 months.

Maybe Yoshi? Can't see the other games moving many units either. Would be interesting to see what Japan thinks of Splatoon.

Vita has those games, is a handheld, and, well...

Having the same argument for 100th time in these threads since apparently that's the only thing that matters:

Vita had a massive drop YOY this quarter.

How big was Mario Party 9 & 3DS? I'd think Zelda would be max 300, perhaps 100-200k. Just thinking options. A new Animal Crossing could do something?

This is just observation for 3DS that it is in decline. We already know its a good system that sold well.

Hmmmm so how about %s in decline?

3DS ~ 36 %

Wii U ~ 32 %

PS3 ~ 45 %

PSV ~ 5 %

Oh yeah PS3 get some freaking price cut pls

Well, for this year it is not that bad...

But you are right. Things will most likely go bad in 2015 :/

Wii U needs Youkai Watch 3 and a Pokemon game + a sensitive price drop (7.500 to 10.000 Yens). After that, everything will be easier for this beautiful piece

mario party 9 was over 600k and mario party island tour was over 400k.

kirby's also a really consistent franchise. canvas curse did 282k before the ds really took off. rainbow curse may pull in 200k.
