Has to be partly fatigue, yes. TLOU>M&L first week in Japan is pretty surprising.

Everything got all messed up with the Japanese release when Ubisoft spontaneously delayed it. I have no idea what the current status is on that front.
Oh sorry, I was talking about retail. I was just thinking out loud that even expanding to digital, that doesn't add much.
it's as good as SS. Check the OT for more impressions

The Wii U isn't that far from the Vita's sales YTD despite a shitty lineup so far, with a better end of the year lineup and the usual Nintendo boost during the holiday, its pretty safe bet for the Wii U to outsell the Vita.
320k is a lot considering that's just about the Wii U's YTD as is. It's certainly possible Wii U will pull ahead but I don't think I'd call it likely.
That said, Vita really does have little for the rest of the year, no?

1) Mario game saturation (New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon were released all within a 12-month period)
2) Paper Mario was released only seven months ago
3) Not very much built-up hype / anticipation for the game

I'd say outside of 3d world since dk isnt official for japan this year, vita's lineup blows away wiiu even if the biggest games are multiplatform. I'd say god eater 2 will outsell everything on wiiu sans 3d world
I don't see how without a price drop wiiu has any shot of outselling vita because it will come down to december and how much do you think wiiu will sell a week, over 100k? Not likely and the gap is going to get bigger leading up to the holidays

With this being the first platform to have both paper mario and m&l on it especially so close I wonder if that greatly effected its sales.

hmmm... i just feel like i kinda want another mario rpg thats on a grander scale? paper mario and m&l games always felt more like... fever dreams over epic jrpg lol.
I think God Eater 2 will absolutely be Vita's biggest selling game, but I disagree with you as far as overall lineup goes, at least with what we know now. What other Vita game currently announced is even likely to break 100k? FFX?

I say paper mario 2 had a much bigger scale than super mario rpg. It was also a much better game imo
It isn't that vita has a bunch of games that will sell that much. Its the fact that it has games coming at a pace of more than like 3 a month even if they are niche. And the epic bomba wonderful 101 might be one of vita's niche games might even outsell that =/
So yes i think wiiu will have a much better holiday season, but not nearly enough to close the gap. Of course with DK this year i think the lineup is better for sure. This is all on the notion if dk doesnt launch this year which probably wont happen but you never know with nintendo

M&L would have definitely had a moderately higher opening if Paper Mario was still on consoles.
Are we talking this year specifically?
I think the Wii U's line-up is better this year for sure, but I was just curious if the bolded applies to this year or announced games in aggregate since I think it's an interesting question for the platform in general.

Wii U - 33 weeks (1.005.018) (thanks to Pikmin 3)
PS3 - 38 weeks (1.017.689) (thanks to Hot Shots Golf 5)

I was strictly talking about this year.
Iwata is popping champagne as we speak.
I know they haven't confirmed it, but I would be surprised if DK doesn't launch in Japan this year. It did very well on the Wii and the Wii and 3DS versions only came out a few weeks later in Japan.

What is vitas lineup for the rest of the year? Dragons Crown, God eater, FFX + ????.
I'm going with 1:1. Basically, the ongoing hardware sales ratio, give or take. Worked for Toukiden, might work again. A theory that needs some more testing in any case.

Actually looking at it now there is some stuff not dated that might be 2014 but this is dated
I highl doubt it. psp has been dead for a good bit while ps3 is still alive somewhat.

I think initial shipment is like 4:1.
Considering god eater 2 is also on PSP, I kinda doubt that. We'll see though. The best selling game so far on Vita is what, Persona 4 with 200K? 250? At best, I don't see God Eater 2 doing much better than that on PSV. Pikmin 3 might even show some legs and end up around those numbers.
I agree it wont be easy for Wii U to outsell Vita's YTD though. With 3DW coming so late, it'd probably require a price cut. I dunno, call me an optimist or whatever you want but I do think Nintendo still has quite a bit of mindshare over in Japan. Much more than in the West comparatively. With the 3DS dominating the charts, Nintendo's brand is still such a big name in gaming. They need to leverage that with the Wii U. I have no idea what their marketing is like in Japan...hopefully not as atrocious as it is over here in the US.
But yeah, a price cut would help...

Gundam Breaker, J-Stars Victory Vs., and Over My Dead Body Vita perhaps? All are from franchises that have done good numbers in the past. None of them have confirmed release dates though.
How many weeks did the Wii take?
All charts launch-aligned. All data from Famitsu.
Weekly numbers presented in logarithmic base 1,000 for clarity. In that case, zero units are represented by one unit.
Note, since this draws only from the top 30 it does not represent smaller titles.
e.g., software sales of zero are assumed if the console has no games in the top 30.
Tally of the number of titles for that platform in the top 30 for each week.
Certain weeks may have titles that aren't represented. These are the PS3's 7th and 25th, and the Wii's 4th and 23rd.
Feel free to criticize or point out mistakes.

Dissapointing drop for Pikmin 3 and WiiU. Expected a bit better hold as Monday was a holiday I believe.
Pretty bad for M&L. While 100k on its own is decent, it also had a bundle which the previous games did not. Luigi saturation? Ultra casual audience picked up BiS in droves and are no longer on 3DS? Released too soon after Paper Mario? (even though that was more of an adventure RPG than a pure RPG)

Garaph hasn't updated in months, I think.
Yeah
In favor of the PS3, I assume?
Ouch... guess that'll be why they don't want to be comparing Wii U's performance in this department to it's predecessor.
Thanks for the info.
That's exactly what they did last year ... LBX Explosive Boost (3DS port) was announced at the same time as the sequel for PSP/Vita, which has now been ported to 3DS as LBX Ultra Custom.
Congrats Wii U, you barely hit one million before the console that cost twice as much as you!

Wonder why JoshuaJSlone hasn't updated Garaph in so long.

* Dangan-Ronpa 1-2 Reload (If the anime maintains its popularity, it can sell big)
* Dragon's Crown (Muramasa did 100k retail+digital)
These are the only two that come to my mind after God Eater 2 and FF X|X-2 HD.
P.S Talking about LTD figure and not opening week.
Did PS3 really sell worse during its first year? I thought Wii U was breaking records.

Nintendo no longer bundles physical game cartridges with 3DS hardware. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team comes pre-installed.
