Ah...much better. I was missing this news every week!

VITA sales skyrocket!

Wii U BARELY held off the PS3. Sad.

[DeviousOne]

World makes sense again....damn Wii U is falling off in japan they better get some content to the Wii U asap PS3 still alive and bringing iit!! Lol

[AaronSOLDIER]

Doesn't make sense to me, PS3, 360 and Vita are all up with no new software lol

[DeviousOne]

They didn't have any kind of Wii U shortage in japan right? I didn't hear about that.

[Kuro]

A secret cross-play title maybe lol

[AaronSOLDIER]

They didn't have any kind of Wii U shortage in japan right? I didn't hear about that.

Not that I've heard of, but these are decent sales for week 3.

[Nitey]

Nice PS3 sales. Maybe Sony was right not to drop price there with the WiiU looming. No new software either o_O

3DS is fucking incredible

[DeviousOne]

Not that I've heard of, but these are decent sales for week 3.

Yea that's what I thought but the ps3 is right there impressive. However personally I've bought 6 PS3 games in the last month and one Wii U game lol so makes sense to me.

Wait till Pokemon X and Y drop 3ds is going to explode!!

[Soldier 95B]

Was it Christmas in Japan that week!?

[Blacksite]

Wait till Pokemon X and Y drop 3ds is going to explode!!

I'm not sure about what games Sony will be releasing for the Vita then but they really need to get things moving for the platform.

[DarkVincent07]

I'm not sure about what games Sony will be releasing for the Vita then but they really need to get things moving for the platform.

Agree.


Anyway I thought it was interesting to see no DS on here anymore. The PSP is still worthy but did the DS just completely drop off?

[DeviousOne]

Sony has until october to get some killer apps on the vita if not its game over for the vita...

[Blacksite]

Agree.

It was discontinued, wasn't it? Not sure why it'd still be there.

[DeviousOne]

No the ps2 was discounted in japan the DS is still being made there I thought?

[Thorzilla]

I'm not sure about what games Sony will be releasing for the Vita then but they really need to get things moving for the platform.

I think their games never really sold that well in Japan. It was 3rd party software that has always sold systems over there. If they don't get their crap together by getting more RPG devs in...

[Blacksite]

No the ps2 was discounted in japan the DS is still being made there I thought?

Wikipedia says the DS was discontinued in 2007. =/

[DarkVincent07]

Wikipedia says the DS was discontinued in 2007. =/

Maybe that was the fat DS? Coz the normal DS has been on these charts for ages still selling.. unless im going crazy

[DeviousOne]

Wikipedia says the DS was discontinued in 2007. =/

That may be referring to the original cause the dsi came out in 2008 and that was a redesign.

[AaronSOLDIER]

I think they've just dropped PS2 and DS from the charts regardless, they were doing ~1K so they probably just got rid of them.

[DeviousOne]

Yea that's probably what it is cause I know they still sell them I was at my local gamestop last week and saw new ones and also noticed gamecube used selling for 20 bucks!

[Blacksite]

That's probably it. I'm sure the Xbox 360 will follow suit.

[Nitey]

Yeah Media Create have just stopped tracking DS. Must not sell that much anymore in Japan or enough for them to deem it relevant. It sold a shitload in US according to december npd but in Japan I guess everyone is jus getting a 3ds instead - judging by the numbers it puts out every week

Vita sales are gonna plummet to their usual low standards from next week on

@Soldier - I think the Japanese traditionally spend their Christmas money the week after Christmas

[AaronSOLDIER]

They spend it on Christmas day, it's basically the black friday of Japan.

[TDbank24]

Wow, the PS3 almost beat out the Wii U. Another awesome month for Sony in Japan.

PS Vita sales are up.
