Media Create Sales: Week 44, 2013 (Oct 28 - Nov 03)

 

[BlackJace]

Whelp, Wii U collapsed

 

[spatenfloot]

Akiba goodness...

Battlefield and other Western franchises seem to be doing well over there.

 

[Sintoid]

What the hell is Battlefield doing up there??

 

[Herb Alpert]

OK, now Iwata, it's time to shit your pants.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wii-U again dropping hard, as expected.

 

[allan-bh]

No Media Create numbers?

 

[Tokieda]

Is Battlefield popular because they fight the Chinese all of a sudden?

Spoiler

/just kidding, but seriously, did Battlefield ever do so well in Japan?

 

[The perfect Dark]

Omg, Nintendo. what the fuck are you doing?
26k drop?
Well, yeah I don't know what to say.

 

[Paskil]

Never would have expected BF4 to be the game that dethroned Pokemon. WiiU sales, terrible drop.

Next week will be a full week of VitaTV sales, correct? Anyone know if they're just going to lump in the sales? Good to see Vita hanging on. Hopefully +20k is the new low

Spoiler

although still abysmal compared to dat 3DS

.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I guess the bundles didn't help the Wii U in long term.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

I expected a bit over 20k for Wii U this weeek. Oh well

 

[Higgins113]

wiiuwiiuwiiu

 

[Coldnoodle]

Hopefully this is the baseline.

At least Wii Party U is doing well.

 

[baekshi]

didn't see that coming with battlefield

 

[pieatorium]

Is Battlefield popular because they fight the Chinese all of a sudden?

Spoiler

/just kidding, but seriously, did Battlefield ever do so well in Japan?

3 sold more in its first week by 10k

 

[darkwing]

I guess the (Wii U) party is over

 

[duckroll]

What the hell is Battlefield doing up there??

Why wouldn't it be? I think Battlefield 3 sold more at launch actually...

 

[The Boat]

Aand there goes Wii U.

 

[Meier]

Nice Monster Hunter numbers.

 

[Foshy]

SUPERIOR TRACKER GETTING POSTED FIRST

AWW YISS

 

[maouvin]

The Champ is the niche game champ.

How was Rocksmith 1 numbers?

 

[AOC83]

I guess the bundles didn't help the Wii U in long term.

Of course not. Why would people buy games/hardware they don´t care for in the first place just because they are bundled?

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Seeing Vita sales this year versus last year is pretty heart warming.

 

[Metallix87]

Whelp, Wii U collapsed

Of course. Nintendo didn't follow up the price drop with more games. I just hope it stabilizes above 10k.

 

[Kenka]

If I remember well, MoH Rising Sun did actually perform well in Japan too, as strange as it seems.

 

[L Thammy]

Wii U sold almost as much as Oneechanbara Z!

 

[SmokyDave]

PSV | 22.924

Time to get this shit engraved.

 

[JoeM86]

Ouch, that Wii U drop wasn't what I was hoping for.

Am amused that people respond "What are Nintendo doing???". It's not like theyare buying all the consoles themselves and stopped this week.

Do wonder what will turn it around. The Wii U is a decent bit of kit. It deserves better

 

[StreetsAhead]

Next week, Wii U will probably be 5-7K, then the follow week is taiko and Mario, which should push it back up. Following that it's Sonic & Mario @ the Olympics and MH Frontier the rest of the year.

EDIT: I swear Joe and I don't coordinate our posting times.

 

[u_neek]

GTAV continues to do well. Will it end up being the PS3's biggest seller of 2013?

 

[Sintoid]

Why wouldn't it be? I think Battlefield 3 sold more at launch actually...

Really? I never saw an FPS in first position in a Japanese chart but if you say so I have no reason (and few arguments) to believe different

 

[Jonnyram]

Nintendo should have moneyhatted Battlefield for Wii U.

 

[Pie and Beans]

To think I was optimistically thinking WiiU could drag out 25-30k this week due to pent up demand. This is a console that people seem willing to pretend doesnt exist.

God Eater 2 + VitaTV next week. Will Vita TV outsell WiiU/Japan definitively choosing its dominant home console platform etc?

Time to get this shit engraved.

No Media Create numbers?

The superior tracker is all we need.

Call of Duty sells even better.

 

[BowieZ]

Aren't Media Create numbers going to be even less?

 

[EDarkness]

Of course not. Why would people buy games/hardware they don´t care for in the first place just because they are bundled?

It's been said time and time again...the Wii U in Japan isn't getting any games and so it's forgotten. The few games Nintendo puts out simply isn't enough or often enough. In the States at least third party games can fill in the gaps, but that isn't happening at all in Japan. What third party is really doing anything for the system in Japan? None of them, really. There's no way it can survive on Nintendo alone. It's just not gonna happen.

I remember when Battlefield and Uncharted 3 both did 100k + so it's not surprising.

Maybe LR FFXIII?

 

[Graphics Horse]

At least the bundle did its job, provide a scrap of good news and promise for the investor meeting.

Poor Wii U

No, last week used up all the demand for the WiiU.

I expect very good numbers for the Vita TV and God Eater 2.

 

[Ganondolf]

if Nintendo can keep the sales at 15k a week (with jumps on big game releases) that ok sales under the circumstances. they just need to stop it going under 10k

 

[DrWong]

Well, Wii U under 20K. Very bad.

 

[RPGamer92]

Vita should be really good next week thanks to GE2

That, and after the Mario ads started last week on TV, lots of people have been expressing worry about how heavy the controller looks. -__-

Seeing Vita sales this year versus last year is pretty heart warming.

Terrible numbers vs. terrible numbers, are still terrible numbers.

 

[crinale]

Next week, Wii U will probably be 5-7K, then the follow week is taiko and Mario, which should push it back up. Following that it's Sonic & Mario @ the Olympics and MH Frontier the rest of the year.
EDIT: I swear Joe and I don't coordinate our posting times.

Now that's where Nintendo has messed up badly...
It'd be better if they had something at December release. Oh well
