Quite surprised at the vita number. I figured it would drop this week and bounce back next week with the gundam bundle.
Looking at the Wii U, it really has no real future in Japan if it keeps this up. Not that it really matters, it has practically zero support from Japanese developers. None of this should be a surprise to anyone. At least the Vita has support (not sure why it did even through the dry times), so seeing it get resurrected also isn't really a surprise. Unless the Wii U starts getting support from other companies besides Nintendo, how can it really do anything in Japan?

Is that not controller compatible? I wouldn't be surprised given that SE does the bare minimum, but if it is then you shouldn't have that excuse.
I'm sure some basic coding is needed as there's no general legal emulation solution on either android or iOS. As far as dumping ROMs all around, I'm not sure; they have done it to some extent (dumping pretty much every FF prior to X on PSN, for example).
Thanks!
He excludes PS1 and GBOY software sales since 2000, for reference.Well, yeah, still pretty farfetched--Wii U is about where X360 was after 4 years.
Garaph.info is updated now?!?

How good were the 3DS numbers last year in November? It'll still be the holiday season, and I could see a second wind for Pokemon and Monster Hunter during the holidays. There will also be that One Piece game (which looks like they've put quite a bit of effort into) and its special 3DS XLs in late November (Nov. 21?). December will then have Puzzles & Dragons along with Zelda (crosses fingers that Japan will like 2D Zelda a lot for some reason).
No he doesn't. It's a 21st century list, and it actually starts on 2001.01.01. enishi mistyped the start date.Thanks!

Specifically regarding the franchises you listed where they skipped localizing the PSP games; there was virtually no market for PSP outside of Japan by the time those were released.
Famitsu actually has a top 100 of the 21st century this week, but I'm only gonna buy the magazine next week if it doesn't appear anywhere.
I would think that Square succeeds on mobile in part because their games are cheap, not entirely despite it.
Pikachu detective thing is apparently a large project. I'm a little confused as to how things are worded; either it took them two years already or it will take two years to make. Doesn't sound like something they'll be pumping out.
Fighting game is a rumour, sorta. We saw a fancy scene (that may not even be a game) and a trademark for "Pokken".
Return of the king!

Ah, it's a mistaken start date. That works, too. DQVII, Pokemon Crystal, etc. weren't there, but they were all 2000 releases. Thanks for the update!

Vita owners buy third party games, Wii U owners don't. Simple as that really.
Sinobi also mentions in the original post that, although he's only typed up the top 50, the top 100 games includes 1 PS game, 1 GB game and 1 GC game. The GC game is undoubtedly Smash Bros, the PS1 game Dragon Quest IV, and I'm guessing the GB game is Dragon Quest Monsters 2.
Wii U hasn't even had third party games in Japan, lol. The first relevant one will be Taiko.
Outside of MH3U anyway, which sold decently.

Uh, what? The Vita is nowhere near the GOAT handheld. To put it in the same sentence as the GBA is mind-boggling, unless the sentence is "I wish Vita was ten percent as good as GBA was."

Did you just put the Vita and the GBA in the same tier? What comparable pair will you draw up next, the Wii U and PS2?
The Vita isn't even on PSP's level.

I saw 3 ads for Wii U Party just yesterday and 4 the day before (in a total of about 6 hours of television)
This is the most ads I have ever seen for a Wii U release (including the hardware). Also the most for a Non-pokemon Nintendo game I have seen since New Super Mario Bros 2.
I don't think the ad is very good but at least it's getting the word out. I really feel they should have had ads with this frequency for the Hardware and early releases. Seems a bit too little too late, but if it is a taste of how they will push 3D World, Wii Fit and DK in the future then its a good thing. Or at least less bad.

Wonder if we'll get separate VITA numbers this time instead of the bullshit VITA+PSP numbers we usually get.

I'm going to guess: No.
On the plus side, there are no more PS3+PS2 numbers.
PS2 is not longer included.
PS4 forecast is 5M iirc.

yawn, just going to be more ps2/ps3 and psp/vita shenanigans
ps4 forecast should be in there though right?

Operating income. Net loss.
Game operating loss.
2M PS3s; lol Vita

You mean PS2+PS3+PS4 numbers to be 100,000,000,000 total shipped.
Edit: Jeez, those seems like some bad numbers for the gaming division. I know the PS4 will sell, but fuck, they seem to be in trouble.

so last year they shipped 6.8m ps2+ps3 in q3 and this year they are expecting shipping 15m ps2+ps3+ps4?
since its unlikely the ps2/3 number will be up yoy does that mean 8m ps4's

PS2 is no longer included since the beginning of FY13.
The forecast is for 10M PS3s and 5M PS4s.

oh so that is the forecast for the totals for 9 months end of dec or 12 months end of fy year?

I think 5 million PS4s is kinda a crazy forecast. I'm kinda thinking when all is said and done it will have like a 7 million LTD. At the end of the generation.

the 5 mill is worldwide and i dont think its that crazy for shipments, 7 mill i your japan prediction i guess?
jeremy1456

Oh you must be thinking that prediction is for worldwide. Heck no it's going to far surpass that on a worldwide scale.

LMFAO.
Jennifer Lawrence has never been more appropriate.
EDIT: Oh, now it makes sense. NB Sony doesn't break down shipments by region.

I already responded. I didn't know it was for worldwide sales.

It's scary to think they might lump together ps3 and ps4 now that ps2 is gone
shinra-bansho
Member
Investors are going to want to know what the new console is selling.
In the grand scheme, I don't think they really care about Vita. But the PS4 is the flagship home console.
If they lump them together they'll be questioned about it.
pieatorium
Member
if the ps4 does do better than xbox and wiiu which it looks likely at least initially then there should be plenty of pr about it by scee and scea.
Japan we actually get good data so even if it bombs we get the details
My question is what they'll bundle Vita sales with once PSP is discontinued.
pieatorium
Member
tv's cause of the vita tv!
If they could get away with combining PS2 and PS3 I don't see why they couldn't do it with the PS4.
Bundle it with PS3 and 4 since you can use the PSV for remote play. Or maybe throw it over to mobile for giggles.
I don't think Lost Planet 3 counts as high profile.

Remember Me must've sold like 5 copies because Capcom can't seem to remember it.
Capcom hoped it would have been.

They got away with it because the PS3 is 7 years old and has a large established installed base.
