Can't wait to see the Dragon Quest on PS4 bump next year.
Wonder if Bloodborne will be well received?

Poor XBO, 100k seems like a dream for it.
Damn that was a good week.
Huge bump for PS4.
Wonder if Japanese console gamer tastes will maybe start changing to be a little more western?
Their own devs aren't doing much and I can't imagine that all of them will be content with playing just handheld games while the rest of the world keeps pushing the envelope with consoles.

Better, even without digital (Famitsu numbers)

Now to see if Nintendo can get buyers to double dip on the Wii U version. The Wii U version has to have something significant to do that. We still don't know what the Wii U only mode or modes are going to be. Smash Run is just for the 3DS version.
Glad to see Hyrule Warriors still selling, if slowly. 100K in what the third or fourth week is okay right? Bad? Average and expected?

Destiny on PS4 had a debut that equalled MGSV GZ, which was the highest PS4 debut.
Wonder if it will have legs.

Persona and Metal Gear bumps will be interesting to see as well.
Who knows? The baseline will be well under a thousand units soon.
The Wii U game will not sell.
Unless they include 3DS copies for free or something.

Super impressed by Smash, but most surprised by Destiny and the PS4 bump tbh!

It would be easier to discuss it in years.
I think the Destiny boost can be partially offset by the fact that the White PS4 launched with it, and Japan has a thing for new console variations. It's a decent boost but like the occasional Wii U boosts I don't think it's going to stick.
that is quite a discrepancy

Ouch. Xbox DOne in Japan.

Smash did great, but it's Smash, so nothing too surprising there. I really hope the 3DS version won't hurt the definitive version too much, though.
And I didn't think I could be surprised by Xbox One numbers but that is just amazingly bad. Crazy how it started at the bottom and still managed to fall so hard. Maybe it can reach three digit numbers next week?

Famitsu includes download cards.
Well, it's still in four figures. I had it fifty/fifty on even that.

Impressed by Destiny. Wonder if it will hold well.
Good on Smash. Wonder if the Wii U version can at least match Mario Kart 8? At least the 3DS version will help pay for development.

The thing is in Media Create the sales dropped by 26%, but in Famitsu the sales increased by 1%. So by that reasoning, suddenly a massive number of download cards sold last week.
I wouldn't bet on that, seeing how Nintendo gave priority to the 3ds version from release date to

Well there have been shortages of physical so that's not unlikely
Probably not, but that's not important.
the PS4 bump is.
As I was saying last week, it is clear to me that PS4 has way more potential than Wii U. When a Wii U game hits, HW bump is insignificant; when PS4 game hits...I mean, this is a bigger bump than the one generated by MK8, a game that debuted with more than 300k, or a higher bump that the one generated by Hyrule Warriors, that registered similar debut numbers
The bump shows that the PS4 still has life in it as long as it has the games Japan likes, which is a great sign.

I might be wrong, but I guess Japanese gamers really like the Playstation brand. They want to buy a PS4, and as soon as good games start coming, they will get the console.

XB1 titanic drop.
If the white PS4 bundle did this well, I wonder what the metallic PS4 bundle will do.
Mario Kart 8 was a smaller Wii U bump but it kept the system above 10k for about 5 weeks.

A drop from 25k to 3k and no games in the top 20 in its second week. Damn, Xone.
Was not expecting such a sharp bump for the PS4 due to Destiny, given how the WiiU's bumps during key releases weren't as dramatic. And it isn't even an exclusive like MK8.

More like the "selling to the existing userbase/market saturation" effect.

No one is going to buy a 3ds when there's a new model announced to come out next year.
Nintendo shouldn't have announced the new model so early. They should start launching hardware 1 week after the announcement keep demand high.
could be yeah. just thought it was interesting.
