Oh damn, really thought Mario would cross a million this week.
Depends what tracker you're going by.

I said wow. PS3 as dead as Vita in Japan right now.

This holiday and next year is going to be interesting for PS3. It has a really good lineup for the holiday actually, but Wii U should start to take momentum away (of course, the likelihood that both systems receive the same 3rd party games for the next year or so could lengthen PS3's lifespan).
They released witcher 2 in Japan? i wonder if these 4k copies sold was worth it.
People are "spoiled" by the performance of it's predecessors.NSMB2 sells 1 million and people, including known hardcore Nintendo fans, scream doom. WTF? Do you know how many games sell 1 million copies in Japan? Furthermore its sales are still going, it'll do over 2 million when it's all said and done. MH3G has crawled to 1.5 million, I wouldn't worry about 2D Mario at all. Also, a little OT, but all things considered (new age of smartphones and tablets), it's doing well in the west AFAIK.

PS3 is just hitting complete and total global saturation.
Just in time for Resident Evil 6.
It is still early, but it looks like the 3DS might have a different software selling trend than DS- first party software not reaching the heights of DS, but having a lot more variety and genres selling well.
Saturation with just 8mln units? Eww.

It could even be seen as "better" from Nintendo, in the sense more games can sell well. Still, we've had a 3D Mario and a Fire Emblem doing fantastic, so probably it'll depend from game to game. And Mario Kart 7 is still on track for being a 3 millions seller without any problem.

Yakuza 5, Hokuno no Ken Musou 2, Versus XIII (well...), Winning Eleven 2013 / 2014, Hatsune Miku could be pretty big.

So what are the big upcoming games for PS3 for the rest of the year and next year? All I know this year the PS3 will be getting Tales of Xillia 2 and Resident Evil 6 (both will be pretty good sellers).
Makes me wonder how New Super Mario Bros. U is gonna do.

mount & blade! I wouldn't have expected niche PC games at retail in Japan.
aparently there was already a localization of the PC version, so they might as well release the 360 one.
Let's hope the 3DLand franchise replaces NSMB.
Thanks, Nirolak!
This is why the saturation "reasoning" is typically flawed.
I dont know it has happened before, but it really matter much if it happeneds. 10k is just a psychological thing. If something sells 9k, 10k or 11k, it doesnt really change much.Be interesting if all Sony platforms drop below 10k. Has this happened recently?

and that would be a bad number for a 2D Mario game.
Let's hope the 3DLand franchise replaces NSMB.
Saturation at current price point. 15k Yen PS3 will sell a few milions more.
It's like Guitar Hero all over again...
Let's hope the 3DLand franchise replaces NSMB.
Makes me wonder how New Super Mario Bros. U is gonna do.
In M&B Warband I trust. My game of the last 3 years.mount & blade! I wouldn't have expected niche PC games at retail in Japan.
It will probably take a few more years before the PS3 hits 15000 yen indeed, but i'm fairly sure that the PS3 will cost 19800 yen within 6 months from now.15000Y PS3?
PSP hasn't drop below 16800Y and it will be 8 years old this december.
Let's hope the 3DLand franchise replaces NSMB.
New super mario 3D land 2!
Probably a total newbie question, but MC and Famitsu don't track PC game sales, right?
