Check Vita too. The numbers you're currently using also include Vita TV (PlayStation TV) sales instead of just the individual handheld sales.

Didn't the Wii version have pretty good legs? What was the LTD?

Thanks for this thread. This is one my favorite things here on NeoGaf, and I was thinking that this thread will be gone.
A couple of hundred units more when the system has the top of the software charts laden with new releases. That's...well, still something, but disappointing nonetheless IMO.
211K per Famitsu.
Excellent legs, best the series has ever experienced.
Overall Itadaki Street, just like Momotaro Dentetsu, is known for to be a casual friendly franchise.

Probably the first MC thread i post on, even though i always lurked the previous ones.
Good job OP, thanks for not letting this one die.
P.S. - XB1 selling more than PS3 and WiiU.

A YouTuber in Hong Kong was banned for 3 months for steaming Mario Odyssey before street date. Those videos were also deleted.

Switch vs Wii U (Total Sales)
PS4 vs PSV (Total Sales)
hiska-kun thank you for still doing this I was so worried, this is the best part of media create.
Despite my heavy dislike for Square Enix, I hope this game does well. It's pretty entertaining to watch (and would probably also be entertaining to play), pretty much the same as the Momotaro Dentetsu series.
(And being a fan of board games, it's hard to not like games like those.)
Oh, just read that it's a spiritual successor of Disaster Report. Watched a bit of gameplay but from what I've seen, the technical performance of the game doesn't seem to be too good, FPS drops and all.
Thank you for those, was worried they would go away.
Excited to see Odyssey next week slightly below Splatoon 2.

Good job OP!
I was only comparing first week numbers. Didn't know that Wii version had such great legs though. :O

Rakuten restocked the Super Famicom Classic Mini and ... Famicom Classic Mini!

In 10 mn, everything has been sold.
Surprising that rakuten has famicom classic mini, the restock was announced for 2018

Starting from next week, we should have Chris-style threads again posted promptly after numbers are released. Nothing can compete against his database for historical data, but I have been working on a script which is able to parse the latest numbers in combination with data which has been previously posted to GAF.
It is currently missing two crucial things, which I hope can be resolved with the help of the community:
• Romaji game names:
I have tried looking into various sources for this but cannot find anything reliable. We need to take a Japanese name (such as "グランツーリスモSPORT（限定版、同梱版含む）") and convert it into its romaji or English equivalent. An API, JSON/CSV, or consistent format would be great. The alternative is manually inputting game names (possibly in advance) which is not ideal as it will lead to delays in creating the thread. Any suggestions?
• Software weekly total:
I can't figure out where Chris is getting this from. Perhaps it might be best to reach out to him for this metric. I am not in contact with him so I would appreciate if somebody could.
Apart from those roadblocks, things are coming along. The next step is to integrate with past sales data posted here on GAF to get hardware LTD numbers, previous positions, etc.
I haven't posted all that much in the sales threads so you might not recognise me, but I have read and analysed weekly for over a decade. I have been meaning to create a sales data archive of my own for a while and I don't want there to be any sacrifices made to these threads, so I hope to keeping things ticking along without interruption.
Thanks for your hard work this week, PantsuJo.

Not the best launch for GT Sport, but considering its more enthusiast slant I think these numbers are fine. Curious to hear what Sonys expectations were for this iteration though, and as a GaaS to see the legs it will have.
Wonder if Odyssey will usurp Splatoons launch numbers as well. Switch seems to be doing pretty solid, and some of the legs on titles like 1, 2 Switch are quite impressive.

Well a new era for sales age; I wont lie Chris was legendary and truly a golden period for discussing Japanese sales. Weve gone through many changes over the years and it has required patience and dedication. Nice job OP, your effort is appreciated, and I look forward to growth as we move on.
Expected a bigger bump for PS4 but Itadaki did a lot better than I expected. Next week gon be good.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
Double standard. You should have said something similar about the PS4 this week... look at all the new games that came out.
If anything I think it's quite depressing. Videogames should be selling a lot more in Japan. This market was huge at one point.

Great job on the thread. I think it could be a small improvement to have cumulative sales of all single console sku into one table (ps4+pro, all 3DSes+2DS) and other table with separate ones.

Yes, this is the idea.
Also, everyone: thank you for your support and for understanding, it's my first big thread here and I'm a bit excited
PantsuJo is the hero we needed and deserved lol . Thank you so much like others have said its noice to have something back that we took for granted. If we ever cross paths i'll buy you a Coke lol.
He's waiting for things to calm down and will then decide where to go or stay.
Which is pretty much the most rational decision one can take.
This is my stance too.

LOL. I know PS4 can't even sell 100k with a new mainline Dragon Quest.
I know Nintendo can sell 150k next week if they ship enough consoles.. I am also expecting over 50k for Splatoon at least.

I do think that it paints an entirely different pictures when doing it this way.
Note that by only including (uniquely named) hardware revisions that were on the market this year causes a drop of ~17M sales from the 3DS family, and makes the Vita (sans PSTVs 189K? units) appear like it was much more competitive than it really was in the handheld space.
Although they're not being tracked anymore

Thanks to the OP. Looks like Sony did some good business software-wise. Will be interesting to see how things play out.
What a bummer. Ive had problems with disaster report before, but it's always sad to see. Expected though. Even the trailers ran bad.
I love the Idea of the game though. I think it's a genius one. Even with perfomance issues i Will still try.
I don't really care for the whole situation that has occured but since I'm a sales guy I'll go to the place where there is a similar audience and right now almost the entire sales community has moved away. It wasn't my intention to abandon NeoGAF anytime soon and certainly not with this way but with current circumstances it's very difficult to keep participating since I focus only to a one forum.
Since almost all with experience to create a Media Create thread have left I understand it will be difficult for someone new to offer a smooth transition and it will need a lot of patience but if there is willing there will be found a good solution sooner or later.
This will be the last post from me here, to those who will continue I wish good luck.
