Thought PxZ2 would do better.Ps4 small drop,Splatoon bundle helped Wii U sales.But Splatoon itself is a Beast,Mario Maker seems to have some legs to.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Starfox, Zelda, Twilight Princess, ShinM&FireE

I can't honestly see any of those games having a significant impact on hardware sales, much less a sustained one.

 

[Shenmue]

That's not too bad at all for PS4. That's around 100-120k a month which is a little less than half of what the US sells. Big difference is that Japan doesn't get the crazy boosts that the final two months of the year bring in the US.

What a time for Splatoon. Spla2oon on Nintendo Home is going to be something special.

Outside of Yokai, Splatoon, Minecraft, and SMM, we have some legs on these as well:

13./11. [3DS] Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer # <ETC> (Nintendo) {2015.07.30} (¥4.320) - 5.645 / 1.120.354 (-31%)

AC:HHD is just chugging along, and Picross is staying in the charts a lot longer than I expected. I wonder if Picross owes part of its lingering presence to word of mouth (as it has been good).

All depend on The NX Sales bro.
If is a console with Wii Sales ( 12 millions ) it will easy outsell Mario Kart Wii in Japan!

sharp fe is not a 2016 game.

For the ps4 to overtake wiiu till the end of next year it has to sell 11614 units more than the wiiu every week according to MC and 13143 units according to famitsu.

Dont think it will happen. Unless nintendo releases the nx and wiiu sales take a huge hit.

I personally don't think it should. Games in very popular genres is something NCL should pursue as soon as. It'll be a missed opportunity if they wait too long.

 

[squall23]

It's not a BAD game please, repetitive and maybe boring but it does the job for one looking for a good looking (hell, how many 2d games look like that today ?) fun to play cross over.

Well, the PxZ team are ex-Super Robot Wars devs, so they did learn from the master.

I could see many weeks where the wii u sells 5-7k and the ps4 sells 15-20k in the slower months of the year.

 

[Vena]

I could see many weeks where the wii u sells 5-7k and the ps4 sells 15-20k in the slower months of the year.

5-7k probably won't come until late into the year next year. Splatoon has held against <10k until the bundle cut sales for two weeks. Of course, there are a lot of other factors that will influence this and Splatoon's legs may ultimately fade sooner than later due to NX announcements and otherwise.

I still feel like there's only so much Splatoon can do by its lonesome. At least the Wii U has a stronger first quarter than usual in Japan, with Pokken Tournament, Twilight Princess HD & Star Fox Zero, although I think it's very possible that all but Pokken sell less than 100K LTD.

Of course, there are a lot of other factors that will influence this and Splatoon's legs may ultimately fade sooner than later due to NX announcements and otherwise.

Even in the early months of the year that have some releases, the wii u would be lucky to hold around 9-12k weekly. Meanwhile the ps4 should have higher than 20k because of all of its releases early in the year. I am fairly confident that 2016 should be the year that ps4 outsells the wii u.

I'm not arguing that. I am simply stating that 5-7k is too low ball an estimate given current trends from Splatoon but as I said, it is dependent/vulnerable to a lot of external factors. The bundle affects are rather stark evidence that it moves a few thousand over the general baseline for the system (which hovers in the 7-9k range) from new consumers.

The key detail here is that Splatoon isn't continuously selling to *just* owners of the system, its bringing in a few thousand per week. It doesn't have the general audience redundancy issue of new releases that are, over time, tapping an audience that has already bought in to a/the system.

I fully expect the PS4 to pass the WiiU in 2016, probably around half-way to post. There's always the potential that the actual market is deceptively small and that long-term sales will thin from famine again but that is much to bleak considering the wide spread plague over the crops of the console industry already.

I still feel like there's only so much Splatoon can do by its lonesome. At least the Wii U has a stronger first quarter than usual in Japan, with Pokken Tournament, Twilight Princess HD & Star Fox Zero, although I think it's very possible that all but Pokken sell less than 100K LTD.

Stronger quarter, and continuing support at least into January should keep the game relevant for at least a few more months after the holidays. Now potentially it may completely "sell itself out" over the holidays and burn through that ongoing demand I mentioned above. At which point, the WiiU may well fall back into its old 7-9k standing.

It also depends on when Nintendo starts to openly discuss the NX. The sooner that happens, the sooner the WiiU will fall off faster (likewise the 3DS).

 

[DriftingSpirit]

When do you all think the Splatoon impact will wear off? I don't mean fall off a bit and surge again as it is doing now. I'm talking gone from the charts for good and it is no longer buffing sales at all.

It has been holding the Wii U above high waters for a long time now.

I personally see it fading a lot after the holiday boost ends. It will still chart but I think it will sell around 5k weekly and the long term boost it provided will start to fade. I would be happy to be wrong though.

 

[Jon Carter]

Is the Wii U still getting games that can boost hardware significantly next year?

It never really did. The only two real significant boosts were launch and Santa Claus '13. Splatoon did (is doing?) a good job long term but it was more like preventing a fall rather than boosting the sales.

You can probably thank Nintendo's conservatism for that. There's only so much strong titles can do when a console that was never widely appealing at its initial price point ends up maintaining or even increasing in price. I think it will bite them in the ass for the NX.

I'm not in Tokyo for two days (relaxing time), if you want to post the new release pics...

I still watch CM's on Yamanote about Picross, that's unusual for a small IP + low budget title and already released; N kept pushing the title so this might be one of the reason Picross is still charting

Wasn't aware it was still getting CMs, i was just speaking of what I've heard on the grapevine.

I wouldn't call it conservatism. Its just a botched product and re-starting manufacturing to any meaningful degree would be expensive and not worth the time. A lower price point would just gut them without software volumes and licensing fees to collect.

That said, I doubt it will affect the NX as its actually going to be picking up far more of an audience and demographic from the 3DS side of things than the WiiU (probably by an order of magnitude). The 3DS has been treated very well after the initial flub of its bad release price/offerings.

I think that from a worldwide perspective their strategy is awful and will hurt the NX badly in Western markets, but yes I guess it should work in Japan because the 3DS gets such strong third-party support, has sold so well, and has been dominating the charts for so long, that as long as Nintendo stays in the minds of consumers in a strong and positive way then they should be fine. It'll depend on how they handle the portable and home SKUs and whether they care if the home SKU sells like the PSTV or maybe the regular N3DS, as long as the portable one sells well.

I don't see how putting more resources into a console that the market has rejected would put them in a better situation going forward. If anything it would be taking away from the NX.

 

[Jon Carter]

I don't see how putting more resources into a console that the market has rejected would put them in a better situation going forward. If anything it would be taking away from the NX.

The point is the market would not have rejected it to such an extent had they been more aggressive. Nintendo does not have a positive image right now. I remember two years ago (that was before crappy cash-ins like amiibo Festival or Mario Tennis Ultra Smash were considered holiday tentpole releases) I was talking to one of my best friends, with whom I used to play SNES, N64, Dreamcast, GBA and 3DS, and I told him that I wanted to get a Wii U. He laughed then realized I was serious.

These days when people think of the home console market they think of PlayStation and Xbox. Nintendo has spent the majority of this generation and the latter third of the previous one being overly passive and putting profits first. They've lost a tremendous amount of not only positive mind share, but even just mind share, period. This is a terrible environment to launch a new system in. It pains me to say this, but they deserve a lot of the blame. Not as much as Sony with the Vita of course, but they don't intend on releasing a successor to that.

Of course Nintendo doesn't have infinite resources, but they could have done much more. Although trying to turn a failure into a profitable venture probably made shareholders happy enough, the PlayStation brand would not be what it is today had Sony focused on short-term profits during the PS3 days. They lost a massive amount of money on it and in that way it is a failure, but in the eyes of the public it is a highly successful console and the public has a positive image of the brand, thus enabling Sony to come out with a better thought-out successor riding on strong momentum. Nintendo is taking the opposite approach and I think they will end up with opposite results.

 

[JeffZero]

Call of Duty putting in work. Japan loves its cod.

The PS4 is doing so much better now. Not great by any stretch, but damn. The worst appears to be over. This is a much healthier climate for those big upcoming JRPGs to really make a dent and drive it all up and up.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Looking at YTD may be a better way to judge things. For instance by the end of this year PS4 would of gained 400-500k in relation to the WiiU. 2016 is looking to be a great year for the PS4 so we obviously expect a notable increase YOY. WiiU on the other hand would be doing well by remaining stable. The gap between WiiU and PS4 is 600k hence I think PS4 overtaking the WiiU next year is a certainty.

There wasn't really anything else they could do for the Wii U and a lot of the issues it had were on a conceptual level. They wouldn't have been able to duplicate what the PS3 did and even then I'm sure no company wants to duplicate that. Nintendo needs move on and put their resources into the future.

Looking at YTD may be a better way to judge things. For instance by the end of this year PS4 would of gained 400-500k in relation to the WiiU. 2016 is looking to be a great year for the PS4 so we obviously expect a notable increase YOY. WiiU on the other hand would be doing well by remaining stable. The gap between WiiU and PS4 is 600k hence I think PS4 overtaking the WiiU next year is a certainty.

If the wiiu remain stable as it is now, there's no way ps4 will overtake it. Ever since splatoon, wiiu sales are not that far off from ps4 (the big difference is that the ps4 got some big spikes, but even the wiiu outsold it lots of weeks). And anyone can see that on dengeki that lump the sales of this fiscal year.

Unless the ps4 sales get much better though and i don't believe it will happen. I think it will be just as this year. Some spikes at big releases and that's it.

That would be second week. Look at the drops you've posted.

Once again I'm telling you to look at YTD not weeks:

PS4 - 1,035k
WiiU - 536k

500k difference right now.
If WiiU was stable, PS4 would only need to sell 100-200k extra next year.

God Eater Resurrection is doing great numbers for a remake.

 

[Asd202]

sharp fe is not a 2016 game.

For the ps4 to overtake wiiu till the end of next year it has to sell 11614 units more than the wiiu every week according to MC and 13143 units according to famitsu.

Dont think it will happen. Unless nintendo releases the nx and wiiu sales take a huge hit.

PS4 is already outselling Wii U 2:1 I think it will happen especially since 2016 PS4 line up is really strong and NX will kill Wii U sales. Heck I think PS4 will overtake Wii U before NX hits.

It'd be interesting to see how GE3 will perform given how PSV is winding down and PS4 doesn't seem able to catch the hunting action fanbase.

A decline is very likely, seeing how a remake with more content is selling notably less than a simple enhanced re-release. It also doesn´t help that the main audience is on a handheld that sells like it´s on its way out.

An enhanced re-re-release with more content (less content than GE2) is selling less than an enhanced re-release with more content.

Are you sure that 2015 will end with 500.000 in favour of PS4? I'm not

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

If WiiU stays constant and PS4 has a 100k YOY increase then it would result in a 600k favour or PS4. Do you not think PS4 will be 100k YOY?

I'm not sure that PS4 is going to sell more than Wii U in December. So I'm not sure PS4 is going to end 2015 with a 600.000 advantage YTD

I was talking about 2015 YTD btw. For 2016 there are too many unknown factors to know for sure that PS4 will end up with more than 500.000 units sold YTD than Wii U (is possible but not a sure thing)
