Seems like shitton of 2nd week copies to me.

The problem with chalking up these terrible sales just to the announcement of new SKUs and pricing, is that the systems were already in decline/selling terribly prior to said announcements.
The Vita's rapid descent strikes as indicative of an underlying low baseline.

I stand corrected on WiiU then, one extra person just couldn't have bought a U smh. Other hardware numbers are par the course but Vita can probably stay above 15k if they manage to accrue some momentum with consistent releases. As I said last week, there is already a guaranteed bump with God Eater 2 down the pipeline but with some momentum they can increase numbers on for both Vita and GE2 and then tail that momentum into the Final Fantasy X HD games.
As far as WiiU goes, I don't think the bundles will see any significant spike or at least lasting effect. Their heavy hitter games hasn't been released yet so I don't want to speak too soon but it'd have to be one hell of a comeback at this juncture for them to turn the tide. Speaking as of now those sales are pathetic.
EDIT:
Saw the Vita's release schedule posted, so yeah Vita has a chance to do some relatively respectable numbers going forward into the 4th quarter.

It's pretty standard.
Since when was half a million sales in a week in week two a bad thing?

wat. These are fantastic 2nd week numbers.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I'm sure a lot of the console buying Japanese public are pretty clued up on the WiiU bundles, but not to the point it doesn't feel like people are over-estimating what kind of possible effect theyre going to have and hand waving away just truly apocalyptic sales because "who would buy one now!".

That would be a pretty high digital number compared to what it started with but I guess we haven't got any data through the last few weeks of shortages right?
Those bundles are also not cheap compared to some of the other gaming options out there even if they are a good deal.

Beyond is actually performing alright compared to Heavy Rain. Only a little bit worse. Not much, but still nice to see.

Not actually that important
I very much doubt that. 3M+ should be our estimate, since with download cards the game's at 2.9M

I doubt, but it's definitely over 3 million.
Famitsu: 2,915,273 (retail + cards)
Media Create: 100,000 (launch week directly off the eShop)
As I said, it is actually better than I expected. Me (and a few others in the last thread) didn't expected more than 20k, especially considering it had no notable releases whatsoever.

Seems crazy to think in the end it actually has a shot at beating MHP3rd
Well we'll know when we see the shipment data. Seems weird to think Nintendo only just started the whole digital full game thing last year.
After MH and Pokemon on the same year, I'm not sure 2014 will be better for the 3DS than this year.

Ah, damn. For some reason I thought the Famitsu ltd was 3.2 million. Guess the total now is just shy of 3.5 million then if you include digital sales.

Does anyone have launch aligned YTD sales for nintendo/sony/sega home consoles?
I'm kind of trying to see what did worse than WiiU because it really looks like it's really cratering at this point.
I don't think Vita is in great shape but what does that tell about a console that takes 5 weeks to sell what Vita sold this week?

Considering the Galaxies didn't have a huge impact on Wii sales (+30-40% hw sales on release week), that seems very optimistic.

3DS still on fire thanks to MH and Pokemon. Vita dropped a lot, but over 20K so alright. Wii U still breaking record lows...
I hate to see the Wii U struggle like this, but I love your GIFs lol

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Nintendo has absolutely nothing to release in its place. The system still has 3 years left regardless of sales.
Vita numbers are not a good sign--I was expecting a much better hold.
No. The highest is around 300k. I think that's P4G if you count the shipped sales

I know next to nothing about Tousouchuu's fanbase and such, so i cant really say much about that. If the game is very different compared to what we see in the TV show, maybe it would have a hard time selling on the name alone indeed. In general, that probably applies more or less to other franchises too (i see for example that some Dragonball games sells more than others, i have no idea why, but i would guess it has something to do with the gameplay in the different games). But i see your reasoning, thanks for the answer =)

Oh, in case anyone's interested, earnings release dates for Japanese publishers (in which I've included the Japanese platform holders).
Might get some sales (shipment) data. Might even get a Vita LTD (lol).
Should get some nice info from Nintendo's investor briefing.
Code:
Sony 31-Oct
Nintendo 31-Oct
Capcom 1-Nov
Sega Sammy 5-Nov
Namco Bandai 6-Nov
Square Enix 6-Nov
Konami 7-NovMight get some sales (shipment) data. Might even get a Vita LTD (lol).

In significant part, it appears that Capcom has successfully migrated their Monster Hunter fanbase to the Nintendo platform. Still some ways to go, but it's mostly there now. This has worked out for them: very high sales with lower production costs than a Vita/PS4 version would require. This is something I don't think could be done as effectively in the West; I believe there would be significant sales repercussions for any longstanding franchise that chooses to back down from the tech arms race.
Probably not, also because of gamer as luigi, mario rpg, friend collection and dragon quest 7. Next year should have smash, dq monster, probably pokemon z, and few surpriser as the new capcom game. Plus the 2ds, at a lower price.
Solid, but not as stellar as 2013

3D Land had a massive impact on the 3DS, so I am more optimistic because of that. It'll certainly have a big impact for a couple of weeks. It's just a matter of how long its legs are.
The game was also released in the right time period also, the coming weeks with holidays like Xmas and the week after New Year will keep sales higher than on Monhun 3:rd
Good stuff, Nintendo usually always gives out EU sales which are hard to come by, so they are very useful.
