Japanese Sales Charts: If We Were Nintendo Life, We'd Have Something to Write About

Wow Splatoon is nearing 1.5M!

So this you ko watch is a big deal then?

I doubt they'll talk about this, they get paid per pokemon go article at the moment. Kind of like how you guys get paid per Taylor Swift gif

Well, when "PS5" comes out you can stop posting sale articles (at least Japanese sales), as it will not be released there at all.

The Vita has a new game at #2 behind the Yo-kai juggernaut, that's not nothing at least.

@ShogunRok I am thoroughly impressed that the moment your system has a big release drought akin to the Wii U, despite being the clear lead in sales and still doing really well, you can't be bothered to gloat because while there is something to brag over, it's not loads of stuff. And ya wanna go all out right?

Seriously though what the he'll happened to the ps4 getting a game every week. Not even a remaster? Cross platform release? Nothing? Or has to past 2 e3s really been indicative of 2017 and beyond. Let's hope it gets better. I want to feel like this £350 jet engine I bought is better used than just for youtube like it is now

@Splatburst How many Wii U's are sold in Japan? I've got a feeling that more copies of Splatoon have been sold over there than Wii U systems..

@Tasuki Sic'em Tasuki.

Ya, Xbox has been a huge disappointment in that respect. I'd never owned one until the X1 and only bought it because I missed gems like Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia and wanted to catch the new wave of JRPG exclusives. But that's not how it turned out.

It's ok though. Xbox has still been a learning experience for me- seeing what it's like to own and all, and it has had a few great exclusives so I can't complain. Ori & the Blind Forest, to this day, is the only "Metroid" game I would dare put on the same level of, well, Metroid.

You guys sound like Sony, ignoring Vita that got a new game at 2nd place and sold quite decently. Give the poor thing some credit!

@Utena-mobile "I feel so sorry for Xbox. What happened? Where did you start to go wrong?"

How about everywhere? Just look at what they were doing in 2013. TV TV TV! DRM! Sheer idiocy. The Xbone's lack of success is all MS's fault.

@Kidfried You wouldn't know it based on how the team here describes it every week. Just coz it doesn't interest them doesn't mean it never existed

You lot need to learn my sense of humour. Its defeatist and self-depreciative. I roll with the idea not I'm not allowed to like something, and anything I do like openly is doomed to failure (Which I am starting to think is more than a coincidence now sadly)

Isn't there a vita game in no2?

@Utena-mobile
This is actually nothing new. I think the Japanese Xbox numbers might be at an all-time low this gen but ever since the original Xbox it has struggled to get a footing in that market. Even last gen the 360 only reached moderate success and MS was actually paying for a lot of Japanese games back then. People blame it on the Japanese not liking American products but it's got to be more than that. The Japanese support a lot of American products and properties.

I laughed out loud at that title lol great job! On another note, I am glad to see how evenly Nintendo sells with Sony week for week. Similarly I'm glad to see Vita land a number two game! Good for them!

@Thegentleman @sinalefa @Fath There may be a Vita game in second, but 10,000 copies isn't even worth thinking about.

The fact that 10,000 copies put it in second place is incredibly worrying to begin with!
