Kazuma Kiryu. Yakuza's days are numbered.
PlayStation X wasn't tracked separately back in the day?
The only thing that was tracked seperately was PocketStation.

Well that and maybe relative weakness of the yen compared to other main currencies. For example 44 980 yens is still ''only'' 391 in Euros so less than the actual EU price.
I meant the PS2+DVR hybrid, not the small PSone.
The answer is the same.
edit: There wasn't any reason for PSX to be tracked seperately, it was a standard PS2 at specs.
We get 3DS/XL model breakdowns (at least from MC) and that's identical hardware. PSX was branded as a different device and so much more expensive than the regular unit that I'm surprised it was lumped in with general PS2 numbers.

So is NSMB2 going to be roaring up the charts next week?
At least Famitsu doesn't include PSX at hw SKUs, meaning they didn't track it all.
For 79.800¥ price I doubt it sold much at the one year of its life.
I doubt Mario games will benefit (if they do at all) until Super Mario Run actually releases.
This bode very well for Mario Maker 3DS however.
I think everything is same day, worldwide. So Sept 15th and Nov 10th.
No mystery Vita.
Mario Maker 3DS + Super Mario Run both in December = master keikaku indeed.

Tales of Berseria Breaks the 300K.... the game deserves so much more.
Hope it sells good in the west and through steam.

Even if we talk about YTD, 3DS is easy gonna win.
3DS is 200k over PS4 this year, will be already a miracle if this gap remain stable, but the chances that PS4 outsells 3DS by over 200k this holidays are close to zero.

without tax in Japan, while I suppose that 299/399 euros are the final prices
this would make the japanese models more expensive compared to the west
PREDICTION LEAGUE PERSONA 5 EDITION
Predict how much these products will sell in the week (from Sep 12 to Sep 18):
[PS4] Hardware (7 days) - 60000
[PS4] Persona 5 (4 days) - 205000
[PS3] Persona 5 (4 days) - 75000
There are no other releases this month at all?
Edit: so just first week? Gonna change my post.

It's like free marketing...
because it is
I completly agree
Christmas Pokemon/SMM I mean it's going to be massively in-favor of 3DS - consoles can't compete with handhelds in Japan. Last year Vita outsold PS4 in December with just one major title
the ethernal Minecraft
Lol. Me baka.T_T YTD indeed.^_^
Nintendo's first paid mobile game will be Super Mario Run, coming first on iOS in 2016.
It has no IAPs, and it looks like a well made autorunner akin to the Rayman games on mobile.
It presumably won't be a hundreds of million (or billions) of dollars every year title like major f2p mobile hits, but I think making something like this paid is okay. Tetris did end up moving 425 million paid downloads on mobile at the $1+ range.
Lol. Nintendo is really getting in the bed with Apple and Google.^_^ (Google got Poke GO first and Apple got Mario Run first lol.)
This is a great move. and again lol, goes just like what we are talking before. Mario is going for that global market which is why the genre is also that of one which is endless runner which is going to be resonate more with Global market fanbase. Not to forget that this game will also able to lead to the increase sales of their traditional title like Mario Maker 3DS and NSMB series on 3DS.(Wii U is dead lol.) as they are going to grow Mario brand further to the children demographic.
Fire Emblem and AC mobile is going to feel that they are going for the more traditional Japanese mobile gaming market but man, they have been keep delaying those games lol.^_^
I wonder who are developing this Mario game here huh.?.?
Well, I've never said I didn't expect 5k after the other 5k. I only think that that bigger boost, maybe could have changed the situation, especially since this year FFXV and Persona 5 happen.

Which Nintendo franchises have the highest % of their sales in Japan anyway? (I guess we can look at 3DS/Wii U games for this)
Animal Crossing, for sure. It should be around 50% only in Japan.

PS4 slim Persona 5 bundle trailer.
Edit: Sorry it wasn't bundle. Just ad co-operation.

Japanese Marketing truly is something different
Just a tad over-dramatic.
I'd bet on Rhythm Heaven unless the series is a lot more popular in Europe than I think it is.
I've been discussing exactly this.
First FFXV puts their release date 30 sep.
Then atlus, defying all logic puts their release date on 15 sep, everyone go nuts calling them madmen.
Then FFXV ends up delayed and the ps4 slim gets its release date on the 15 sep.
It can't be coincidence, Atlus probably got disclosed information.
The question is, why Persona and not FF tho?
Assuming of course, that the delay was a last moment thing.
It's time for him to retire for real. Haruka can carry on the legacy with a new idol game series.

TL note: master means sensei
Atlus playing 4th dimensional chess against SQEX, thinking they could probably out sell FFXV.
Vita announcement would be at the Japan conference on the 13th.
I'm guessing there wasn't much confidence FFXV would be ready in time or Atlus got lucky.
Personally I'm interested in whether Persona might end up a lot closer lifetime to XV than a lot of people expected an year ago.
I guess Animal Crossing.
And didn't Luigi's mansion 2 have a random high 25-30% in japan lol?
Atlus mindgames are too strong
Ahh i see. Then, i can see this game had great level design then. Their level design in NSMB2 and NMSBU is absolutely great. Many great levels that is fun too play.^_^ This game really had the chance of hitting it big here.
Ummm..... is there still anyone who believe there will be new Vita successor here? I mean like what?O_O

This should move a healthy amount of units.
Edit: Too bad about the limited quantities though.
Just found about that too.. So bundle is real

Daaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnn.
In Japan, "limited quantities" generally means "we're not going to keep manufacturing this to keep it stocked in the long run". If there's no announced number of units, they generally produce based on retail demand, so there aren't really "lost" sales in that sense. Most people don't really care about a game themed bundle if they just want the console. The ones who do will be preordering and enquiring about it now.
