Wow, PS3 > PS4.
That's hilariously sad.

Nintendo had pretty much nothing to do with Hyrule Warriors other than overseeing it (probably to make sure Tecmo Koei didn't turn it into some Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball Zelda Edition). Tecmo Koei did everything except the localization.
14./06. [WIU] Hyrule Warriors # <ACT> (Koei Tecmo) {2014.08.14} (¥7.980) - 7.648 / 91.880 (-49%)
Eita Giovana!

So where does the Wii U "baseline" end up?
good for Toukiden, and for the Vita version. Good for Persona, imho. Decent for Medarot.
3DS somehow slighlty increased, but we are still seeing low numbers, and with the announcement of the new models, we'll see it crate heavily in the incoming weeks. We'll see if the model will pay off at in the long term.
So-so Vita bump, decent hold for Wii U and MK8 and HW (I hope it lasts a little bit just to justify some character DLC update ;p )

Why do people still think the Vita could pass the 3DS?
At least people are starting leave the PSP and move on to the Vita.

A good reason for the good Vita ratio are PSP users migrating. Both combined did about 50%.

I just want to point out, Neptunia U has finally broken the curse of Neptunia games on Vita selling 27-30k first week. This one sold 34k!
I guess they shipped according to the previous games and that's why it's out of stock.
Toukiden not doing as well as I had hoped, though. It really cratered on PSP. Should've stuck it on PS4 instead!

The Toukiden numbers don't look as great when the PSP sales of the original are taken into account. Huge dropoff. 188k total -> 90k total. About 50% of the original. It seems the Vita audience is still there, but the PSP audience dropped off without really converting or adding to the Vita numbers.
Persona numbers aren't as bad, but it's also a decline. Dropping the 360 version in Japan is probably a non-issue, since it wouldn't have added much at all.

I'm guessing Toukiden would have sold even less on PS4.

Vita back in beast mode. Can't complain.
PS3 is back in action too. RIP PS4.
I have a feeling 2015 will not be too good either since seems like everything from TGS is crossgen. Minus Bloodbourne I guess but I dunno what that will manage to do.

If you know what's this game Toukiden is, it isn't not that surprising.

Haven't checked these threads in a while now and wow, didn't think Hyrule Warriors would sell so poorly.

Just noticed the difference between the trackers too. Wow. That is odd.

Love Live Vita smelled like kusoge from a mile away so I feel like the sales are a reflection of that. If you assume the only buyers are wotaku who bought all three the sales totals probably become more representative of the demographic.

It's not selling poorly. It's almost sold out of its initial shipment and Tecmo-Koei wants to sell around 150k in the long run.

Well if I remember right there was in some Media Create thread that retailers are seeing decent demand for Destiny in preorders (at least for western title). It's not like it's going to set world in fire in Japan but I could see it selling decently if it appeals to CoD audience in Japan (CoD sells over 300k yearly on PS3). That combined with white console and I think PS4 will escape the misery of under 10k club for few weeks.
It's up to PS4/PSV to save Senran Kagura now!
Almost a month.
This is its third week.
However, it's actually over 100,000 units sold, according to Famitsu.
Actually, looking at the Famitsu numbers for Toukiden, it's actually more consistent with successful re-releases of this sort compared to MC. It'll be very interesting to see which track is closer to the truth.
If Famitsu is more accurate, then while not a breakout success for a re-release, it means that the series does have potential for growth in an actual sequel. If Media Create is more accurate though, then it shows that the Vita audience might not be as generous with regards to buying expansion re-releases compared to the PSP-era audience. Soul Sacrifice also saw a huge 50% drop-off from the original to Delta in the first week comparison.

I think that MH4U will sell less than the original since the series "climbing to the mainstream" stage has ended and they are releasing the expansion in the same platform as the mainline game.
We'll see though.
Man, this situation is really weird. Those differences between trackers are really, really big. Hopefully the difference will get smaller in a few weeks.
You aren't implying the game is bad, right? Just that it's a hunting game and that trend is quite normal
After seeing this numbers I repeat what I've already said. They should try to sell the expansions at a cheaper price to people that owns the original game...

PS4 beast mode lol
PS4 will be languishing all the way till end of the year, is my guess.
2015 is the year it needs to save itself.
12./05. [WIU] Hyrule Warriors # <ACT> (Koei Tecmo) {2014.08.14} (¥7.980) - 8.522 / 104.638 <80-100%> (-51%)
Third week. Tecmo Koei wants it to hit 150 k overall. Looks achievable based on these numbers.

Honestly, it's not doing bad, but it has zero legs.
Why do people still think the Vita could pass the 3DS?
At least people are starting leave the PSP and move on to the Vita.
Preview of Youkai Watch 3.
Note quite. It's its 3rd week in the charts, and 17 days since release.
Anyway, just remember the 28th was pay day.
Soo....the Wii U is only 2k away from the PS4 despite having multiple big in Japan exclusives while the PS4 only has 2 cross-gen launch titles? Both under 10k...
That doesn't bond well for when the combination of PS4 exclusives and cross-gen games come out this spring. RIP consoles in Japan.

We were discussing about that just recently. It depends on how much legs the game will have in the following months. YW2 is still selling incredibly well, and it needs something like 39k on a weekly basis to reach the 3m mark before the year ends. It might sell less than that in September / October, but surely it will increase during holidays.
Interesting comparison and nice hypothesis. That might the case since this difference is ain't normal unless they tracked very different kind of stores in very different area.
Not just two games, but Wii U hardware as well. Two thousand is big difference.

btw on this tracker note, could the monthly sales competition thing include Media Create numbers too as a bonus? (might as well right)

Good sales for Persona 4 Arena!
It rangers from "very dire" to "extremely dire" for both platforms depending on your tracker of choice.
Media Create:
Wii U: 8.584
PS4: 6.502
Famitsu:
Wii U: 6.237
PS4: 5.757
Isn't Famitsu also tracking digital download number? Could it be that?
