Probably not. Sony also published Minecraft PS4 at retail and it's nowhere to be seen.

MC Vita is near 1.3 million with digital.
FFXV week was 118k. Still its double from last years weekly sales.

BC isn't really all that important.
I would assume he's referring to week 51 2015 vs. week 51 2016.

It is dead and buried there now with the announcement of Switch.

It was dead long before Switch announcement.
That's the first thing I thought this morning!

I was talking about revenue. Sony gets some cut from it or it is all for Microsoft?
It was on life support early this year but with shortage of supplies. It died this Summer as Switch was confirmed.

No it wont. There's no point in compromising the Switch just to shove 3DS BC on it. It'll do fine on it's own if the software is there.
Depends on the deals made with Mojang. Both Sony and Nintendo take a cut though.
It's being discontinued soon, and Nintendo (+ retailers) do not want any units left when the Switch comes out.
Week 51 sales only, my bad (should've specified that).

Yeah that would make sense. Both the 3DS and PS4 numbers are largely increased, the Vita is down, and my goodness at the Wii-U drop:
8.417 (2016) vs. 101.122 (2015)
Sandfox got your back, lol.

Having BC isn't what made Wii U that weak. They could've had the same CPU with more cores and the same GPU with more shader units.
As for 3DS, it's an ARM11 CPU which is also compatible with ARM Cortex A57. As for the GPU, they could've worked out a solution. Thing is they didn't wanted to go this far but yeah, I agree it would've driven the cost higher. But it wasn't a same case as Wii U, since the architecture would've been the same.

Where have you been litterally the entire history of these threads. Even when it' just famtsu (as Media Create is delayed till tomrow) it's still called Media Create
4Gamer already on vacation, they'll share their data on January 5th. Maybe Media Create update their website tomorrow with Top 50, though (and/or Gamer share their data tomorrow).
Last year the Wii U had Splatoon and Mario Maker to give it some life.

This year is abysmal for Xbox. I mean, never did specially well, but looking the last year's numbers (that are atrocious, tbh) are more than double, keeping in mind that this year they have released the slim version...

Only weeks PS3 did over 100k in a week were PS3 Slim release, FFXIII launch week and following week after that. PS4 does 107k without any noteworthy releases this week and XV being weeks old (and not as big hardware mover as in past). Impressive.
I pretend a ban for Chris
Btw, impressive 3DS and PS4 sales imho. And not only this week but for the entire year.
GREAT sales for Pokemon and especially Mario Maker. Miitopia too is not a gangbuster seller but still a very solid game for the JP market. YW3 will surpass the 2 millions mark counting all three version, as FFXV will surpass the 1 million mark soon.
Not for Famitsu. This is the last week of the year for them.

It was all a lie, just like Word of Mouth for SaGa
I think my observations were mostly spot on. 2DS did much better than I expected.

I figured that since other people are going to ask that question anyway, might as well reply seriously (well ideally Chris should put a notice in the OP).
Because it's dead, like Japan.

100 unique levels with 2 bonus challenges to complete for each. Those challenges are a game changer.
So, yes. There is a proper Mario game in there that people are missing out on. Not comparable with those pre-made levels in the Wii U original in any way. Some of the challenges are super hard, some are really fun, some are just power fantasies. There's even one that encourages you to learn how to fly with the SMW cape properly, something you never really needed to learn before.
Like that ever was in question
Yes.
It was all a lie, just like Word of Mouth for SaGa

153 people on Amazon Japan can't be wrong...
Still a week left.
PS4 showing Amazing sales, 3DS is a beast.
Also Switch is going to be gigantic.
Yup. With just one week in Japan, Momotetsu 2017 has most likely sold more than Devil's Third did LTD worldwide, though we don't have data for that one. A much better deal for Nintendo this time around.
