It simply won't stop selling!

It needs an additional 36k/week to reach 3m before the end of the year.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2 completely cratered. It sold half of Mirror of Fate's debut, IIRC.

25k XboxOne debut is honestly more than I expected. Still doesn't change that it's a depressing number.

And I thought DQX was already released, is the 3DS version new?

I still need to buy Youkai Watch Ganso and Taiko no Tatsujin but I'm waiting for next year..
And wow at DQ X numbers!
Unfortunately, it'll never release outside Japan.

Even though I never owned a xbox console because I don't like it, I find it really sad that its sales are absymal. Behind that, there are some jobs which will fly soon..

If PS4 doesn't average 10k every week for the next 3 weeks it will fall behind Dreamcast! Hopefully Destiny moves some consoles.

Didn't expect to see Forza in the top tbh.
PS4 slight rise (not really counting 360 and PSP, rest is falling) indicate what this fanbase wanted to show for the XBO's release :p

Sad numbers overall.
 
Can't really be surprised by X1.

DQX sold what was shipped which as I expected was a small shipment. Too bad there will be zero momentum with the plethora of issues plaguing the product.

Weak 2nd week for P4 Arena Ultimax. It'll struggle to hit 150k but I guess a decline is expected.

Media Create is not counting the bundled copies of the Xbox One Kinect Day One Edition (Titanfall / Kinect Sports Rivals / Dance Central Spotlight). So their Titanfall number includes only the Xbox One Day One Edition.

Nice of them to actually put out an explanation.

Media Create: (Titanfall standalone) + (Xbox One Day One Edition) = 8,961.
Famitsu: (Titanfall standalone) + (Xbox One Day One Edition) + (Xbox+Kinect Day One Edition) = 22,416

Media Create: (Kinect Sports Rival standalone) + (Xbox+Kinect) = outside top 20
Famitsu: (Kinect Sports Rival) + (Xbox+Kinect) + (Xbox+Kinect Day One Edition) = 14,191

Also, I guess (they don't say it) Famitsu does not chart Dance Central Spotlight because it doesn't have a standalone retail edition.

Media Create is clearly a corrupt company. Their bias made them exclude the Titanfall bundles from the total number. For shame!
 
PS4 slowly creeping up on Wii U as both consoles keep sinking. Xbox One sold way below my expectation, but they weren't entirely high to begin with. Destiny won't do much for PS4 in Japan as well. Needs FF XV or KH 3.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Considering last week was when New 3DS preorders' started, that seems to be a good result for 3DS, after all. Smash hype in effect?

Is Samurai Warriors from the same franchise as Hyrule Warriors and Dragon Quest Warriors? If yes: They are really spamming these games.

To put the Japanese Xbox One launch sales into perspective:

2002.02.22 [Microsoft XBox] (¥34.800) - 123,929 (3 days)
2005.12.10 [Microsoft XBox 360] (¥29.000 / ¥39.795) - 62,135 (2 days)
2014.09.04 [Microsoft XBox One] (¥43.178 / ¥53.978) - 23,562 (4 days)

2012.12.08 [Nintendo Wii U] (¥26.250 / ¥31.500) - 308,570 (2 days)
2014.02.22 [Sony PlayStation 4] (¥41.979 / ¥46.179)- 322,083 (2 days)
2014.09.04 [Microsoft XBox One] (¥43.178 / ¥53.978) - 23,562 (4 days)
 
If PS4 doesn't average 10k every week for the next 3 weeks it will fall behind Dreamcast! Hopefully Destiny moves some consoles.

So the PS4 is close to falling behind the Dreamcast, and the Xone's launch week sales were far worse...not the best benchmark for the newest consoles. -_-
 
Interesting to see famitsu software numbers and is there still huge difference with Love Live and Toukiden numbers between the trackers like last week.

You forgot Dynasty Warriors, Pirate Warriors, Gundam Warriors and North Star Warriors.

What can I say? I love me some Musou.

It simply won't stop selling!

It needs an additional 36k/week to reach 3m before the end of the year.

Well done to Level5 for picking themselves up when they were down. They shamed duckroll.

If only others in Japan will take note. *cough cough SE cough cough*

So does Nintendo drop all advertising for a game as soon as it launches in Japan? Nothing to keep interest up once the game is out? I know they barely do anything to nothing at all outside of Japan but figured Japan itself was different.

Is Mario Kart just not big enough to keep things moving or is it a case were we should just expect a huge spike around the holidays instead with just a trickle until then?

Off topic question. Are the Dragon Quest games (NES, SNES, GB, etc) on the Japanese VC?

I would love to see everything single negative thing I have to say being proven wrong or turning around. I think we would all like to. :)

does it matter? it is obvious it is not going to go the dreamcast way in the long run especially when it is a success worldwide and japanese focused games start coming out next year.
