I dont believe wiiu will oversell the ps4 this year at all. The only chance for it is if kart really turn things up for a long time... And even then its doubtful.Oh really and what massive hardware peaks will those titles induce. Just lol at Hyrule Warriors
Lets be real. PS4 will have holiday bumps and will at least sell on par of the WiiU 10k a week till the holiday season. WiiU is not going to make up the 300k deficit exactly when?
The wiiu will certainly sell more than the ps4 in some weeks though. Probably holidays too depending on how smash will gathee attention, but thats about it. That 300k is a gap too much bigger to pass (and it will keep rising, since the ps4 wont keep this pace for a long time, but it will also take a lot of time to be on the wiiu 10k league).

Not on WiiU lol
Give me some numbers dude. How big do you think these bumps will be. WiiU has a 300k+ deficit.
I also think that Zelda musou hás a little chance of doing well. Its an exclusive game and although the musou audience was never that big on nintendo consoles, samurai 3 did Alright for what it was(where the xtreme one did much worse because it was also on the ps3). Of course it was the Wii, but we dont know if theres an overlap audience between the two consoles that want to play the exclusive ones.
Of course, that was the Wii and this is the U, so by doing well im saying 100k ltd.

this vita port begging lately is ridiculous
Not that this isn't true, but a game with the most popular Weekly Jump series isn't exactly an obscure thing. It would probably be more popular among kids rather than adults.

Man, I'm not even so sure where it should be. Nintendo pumped out the heavy hitters on the 3DS last year and the result was pretty negligible. Obviously the WiiU is a disaster, but I'd say Nintendo has more of a chance of building an identity for WiiU and recovering from its black hole status than trying to get the 3DS back into beast mode. Zelda Musou's not the game to do it, but it's a step (of many dozen required...).

By the way, this is not an overall top 10 digital sales for the month of February. Famitsu every month compile a list of the 30 best-selling games combining physical and digital sales. These were the 10 games with the highest digital sales inside that top 30.

They are stellar for what many consider a paid demo. MGR was a full game and launched at around 300k, to give you an idea.

Yeah don't know why he's calling them otaku. Just because you watch anime doesn't make you an otaku lol
I really think we'll see Monster Hunter Portable 4th on Vita in 2015. Usually the 'G' version rounds out each MH generation, but I do think that 2015 is too early to be thinking about MH5 - the gap between MH3 and 4 was four years.
Apart from a Vita port, what else could they release?
(I don't know if there is some exclusivity deal between Nintendo and Capcom, so don't hate).
lol at people buying Knack digitally.
Wow.
[3DS] Yo-kai Watch <RPG> (Level 5) {2013.07.11} - 608.103

Home console port.
Zelda Musou isn't going to be a hardware driver anywhere (as neither Zelda nor Musou are hardware drivers anywhere) but on 3DS it at least has a chance to not do terrible. On Wii U alone it's doomed.
3DS, Vita, Wii U and PS4 all launched with Musou games and 3DS had the only one that didn't flop. So now 3DS is the only platform not getting any more. Way to go Tecmo Koei.
Impressive. Could this mean that one of the main factors Japanese digital sales are so low (when compared with the west at least) is because of big game sizes? (Terraria is about only 30MB).
Also, #20V1T4
That's impressive. PSN version is lower price?
No, that's coming out this week (tomorrow).
It will be interesting how 3DS and Vita do next week.
Vita's getting a bunch of games, but 3DS is getting a bunch of bundles/hardware.

Love Minus will be fun to watch.
And I don't see a single million seller announced for Vita, let alone a few.
Poor 3DS is struggling to reach 20 million. Let's not.

It's doomed on both platforms. Might as well stick it on the platform that needs games the most; the 3DS has games and it's still treading water.

I never said Zelda Musou was going to be a hardware driver.
3DS will sell better.
As I said I don't get why Sony didn't bundle Vita with Jump and Samurai Warriors last week, and Project Diva this week.
Easy 20-30k extra sales.

Same with what they are doing with PS4's it seems. 1 in 4 did buy metal gear retail. tho
Only two Musou games on Vita sold between 80-130k (actually 80-105k) and they were't even published by Tecmo Koei. The other 4 that they did publish sold 75k or less.
PSP Musou was all over the place but the high end was over 300k.
Oho, OK OK. Anyway Nothing beats Miku, N.O.T.H.I.N.G! praise be to Miku
But yes, stupid non move. Heck they should release special edition again....I don't want to pay 700 for a Vita

I have no idea because I didn't think the PS4 sales would be as dire as they have been. The market is changing to mobile-only faster then I suspected. Back in the wii days 300k would have been easily driven by the games nintendo has coming out. But with the way things are going now, Smash, Zelda Musou & Mazza Kart may well not hit that. However unless Sony have something big and unannounced for this year, I don't really see anything driving system sales upwards in significant quantities.
Hence why I said "I'm wondering". Because I am.
You're missing the point, 3DS software isn't treading water. It's about how the game itself sells not how many systems it moves.

Can't sell software to customers who don't own your hardware. Nintendo's priorities should be in building up the WiiU into something that isn't an embarrassment. The benefit for the WiiU (assuming it's followed up with more software) should be valued higher than the extra hundred thousand copies of Zelda Musou get sold on 3DS (if it even could manage that).

Yep, tons of Otomate/Idea Factory ADV games were announced.

Technically, Dynasty Warriors Next sold 80k last we saw it.
But you are right, I was mainly talking about Shin Gundam Musou and One Piece Musou 2 (the latter most likely has shipped+PSN ~120-130k and that's why I gave that range).
Samurai Warriors shouldn't have much problem selling 90k at least (shipped + PSN), though
PSP Musou high end was Monster Hunter musou. It's not comparable because it sold mainly thanks to the novelty, as proven by how badly the second one tanked.

No. If you're suggesting it was called that PS4 sales would be in the toilet almost instantly by the majority of people, I'd like to see that.
I was expecting lower, I wasn't expecting next to nothing.

No. Its pretty clear to many here that WiiU has little to no chance in beating the PS4's LTD. Thats why.
Swords Art Online 2 is also coming, in about two months I think. Should sell well
Well it's basically a demo..the profit on this project must be insanely good for Konami
Sir_Crocodile

So, what games are coming out this year that will keep the ps4 out of the toilet, or are you entirely banking on everything nintendo put out not having a significant impact on their h/w?
It's a dumb strategy and one Nintendo themselves isn't even following (Smash Bros.). Neither Zelda or Musou can move systems these days and there's little hope this game will lead to more Musou on Wii U either. Tecmo Koei's only hurting themselves by not having the game on 3DS.
If you want to discount Multi-raid then the franchise high on PSP was still well over 200k.
We'll have to see about SW4 but so far no Vita Musou has more than doubled it's launch week except the launch game. Given sales of the other games it seems like the ceiling will be closer to 80k retail.
Why did this argument just switch to LTD? Wasn't it about the PS4's YTD vs Wii U's YTD?

They're the same for the PS4 as it launched later in Japan then it did in the west.

I'm not sure PS4 is going to drop down to 5k levels like the Wii U did, we'll see.
Yeah YTD is no chance. I think LTD is exceedingly unlikely but there's still at least a slim chance there.
On the other hand Wii U is really the only system with more than one surefire significant userbase driver in 2014 though. That can always change but so far Vita, 3DS and even PS4 are only getting more of what they already have for the most part.
I think the Wii U's LTD beating the PS4's LTD is never going to happen. Not a chance at all.
The Wii U's YTD has a small chance at beating PS4's YTD but that just is dependent on how much can the hardware be boosted by Mario Kart and Smash and how long that effect will last. I think it will boost the hardware by a good amount, but that effect won't last very long.
It also depends on how low the PS4 will go and whether the boost can make up for the PS4's 300K+ lead due to the launch weeks.
LTD means lifetime, while YTD means the year. I'm guessing Psycho_Mantis meant YTD, but used LTD since they are the same for now, like you said.

Yea, I know that, but just odd to switch the words. It's like when people talk about Japanese sales and then go on to talk about worldwide sales. Why switch during the argument lol.

More than a bonus it looks more like the same pie beeing divided to several Sony systems, instead of increasing total sales they are actually just dividing a shrinking pie.
