On their own merits it would've been clear to anyone ahead of time that 3DS was going to be a much bigger system than Vita. For big games like MH userbase matters.

Perhaps a fairly safe bet to say that the 3DS would be bigger than the Vita, indeed, but it wasnt clear in late 2010 (when the developement of Monster Hunter 4 apparently started) that the 3DS and Vita situation would be the way it is now, especially not after the recent years with the big increase in PSP popularity. We could potentially have seen a DS/PSP situation, where both systems did quite well. Userbase matters indeed, however, the Monster Hunter games on PSP sold amazingly despite the DS usebase being quite noticeably bigger.

If he ment that they took a guess on the 3DS, being the successor to the DS afterall (the best selling system in Japan of all time), thinking that this would bring in more money, then i understand =)

At least the manga isn't. It's honest and uncompromising. Best of the newer stuff I know. Not a big feat though, because the rest is pretty mediocre. Stuff like Blue Excorcist, eh.

Yeah, but any last hopes of a miraculous recovery will die with those two games. Vita's hopes were dashed a while ago, though I suppose God Eater 2 not saving the system was the final hit.

I think my favorite one of the mass produced bunch was Blue Dragon Ral. It was supposed to be a Blue Dragon spin off, but it just quickly turned into an ecchi filled mess by the guys who did Death Note. It was super interesting to read the same way To Luv Ru was.

Looking back, those guys probably intentionally tanked the series so they could work on something they liked instead, lol.

Fair enough. There is still Phantasy Star Nova for the Vita by the way, and Freedom Wars is a wildcard.

Obata did the art for Ral, but the writer was Tsuneo Takano. Deathnote's writer was Tsugumi Ohba. Ohba and Obata went on to work on Bakuman, which was kind of popular and ended last year, I think.

Bakuman has a few wink wink, nudge nudge things about their careers as manga creators (like their "ultimate work" had a lot of pressure to keep going past where they wanted to take it) and, in one arc, they tried to end a popular kid's manga early because they wanted to work on something better, so maybe Obata did actually feel that way about Blue Dragon.

"Not saving the system"? lol
Vita is alive and well, which is a much different situation than the Wii U is in, unfortunately.
Vita is a viable platform for any third party developer now. Wii U clearly is not.
Even Nintendo's own AAA franchises are bombing hard on Wii U.

And to make matters even worse for Nintendo, 3DS is tracking lower than last year, and the only major holiday title on the horizon is Zelda. They're never gonna make their projections, that's for sure.

[B]FAMITSU HARDWARE SALES, WEEK 48, 2013 (November 25th - December 1st):[/B]

3DS - 100,144
PSV - 27,768
[B]WIU - 27,325[/B]
PS3 - 13,302
PSP - 3,657
WII - 968

The slight growth for Wii U (20K last week) is a much-needed reprieve from all of those horrible weekly declines the console usually gets after a software bump.

In the past we've seen 21K -> 16K and 21K -> 14K appear routinely, but 20K -> 27K is a unique situation presumably of the holiday season and a ramped-up advertising campaign on the part of Nintendo. The Wii U's continued diminished presence (it's still lower than the Vita) and larger-than-expected drops for Super Mario 3D World dampen the positivity of the its increase. Continued rises throughout the remainder of the holiday season will lighten my spirits towards the console! :)
Click to expand...

I love the feedback you give on these threads and you certainly know your stuff. But this post skews just a tad negative to me. Mario Galaxy, Galaxy 2, and 3D Land's drops were all 70% or so for their second week. Wouldn't 3D World's 60% drop be better than expected?

"Slight" growth for Wii U is downplaying just a tad too. It's 35% up from last week, with no new major games. It was only 32% up at the launch of 3D Mario. With Vita down and PS3 increasing mildly at 10%, I'm not sure that we're really seeing the holiday sales ramp up yet.

One thing that people keep trying to forget was that the main reason the PSP sold well, was because of mass piracy. I am not kidding about that, i have 8 friends that all bought a PSP back in the day, but non of them ever bought even 1 piece of software.

What? How isn't it a "true sequel"? Story-wise, character-wise, mechanically, content-wise, and graphically. Everything there is new, changed, progressed, or improved. It's a sequel.

BrunoMB did a post on the drops. I've re-ordered it on percentage change.

[N64] Super Mario 64 (Nintendo) {1996.06.23} - 121.921 / 284.032 (-25%)
[NDS] Super Mario 64 DS (Nintendo) {2004.12.02} - 52.591 / 172.653 (-56%)
[WIU] Super Mario 3D World (Nintendo) {2013.11.21} - 39.306 / 146.273 (-63%)
[GCN] Super Mario Sunshine (Nintendo) {2002.07.19} - 102.576 / 383.186 (-63%)
[WII] Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo) {2010.05.27} - 116.153 / 453.722 (-66%)
[WII] Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo) {2007.11.01} - 78.349 / 334.690 (-69%)
[3DS] Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo) {2011.11.03} - 87.886 / 432.584 (-75%)

It's the same as Sunshine, slightly better but roughly in line with the Mario Galaxies, and a quite a bit better than 3D Land.

But as the adage goes, in general the bigger they are the harder they fall - 3DL's tumble was from a 430K opening. The issue I see with 3DW is that it didn't open big, and still saw a drop in line with past games that opened significantly higher.

This strikes me as a remarkably ridiculous post. The difference between the WiiU and the Vita is a fairly small range within what we would, in light of past generations, classify as "ungodly terrible." I wouldn't use words like alive, well, or viable on either platform, much less use them on one but not the other. It's shades of the same color.

SM3DW has about a 10% attach rate. That's already as high as Galaxy 1 in Japan IIRC.

It's silly to focus on the raw numbers. SM3DW is not selling great in terms of raw numbers, but how could it? For it to sell 500k literally half of Wii U owners would have to buy it in the first 2 weeks.

The idea that Mario is not relevant or popular anymore is just clearly false. There's no way to honestly arrive at that conclusion.

What about hardware sales though? The Wii U barely got a boost from SM3DW's release in the following 2 weeks. Can't be a good sign.

Mario isn't irrelevant. 3D Mario is simply less relevant than 2D Mario, and the Wii Us continued irrelevance is sandbagging both titles.

But 3D Mario usually doesn't set Japan on fire, right? NSMB2 passed 3D Land relatively quickly (even if it didn't deserve to :/).

It's now bundled for free with the system.

Prior to bundling it was at around 550K. Or roughly around the sales of a PS3 Yakuza mainline game.

Mario isn't irrelevant, I don't know if anyone's ever argued that. It's still a strong and recognizable franchises. But in itself Nintendo's traditional franchises clearly haven't been enough to move substantial hardware.
The query has always, as far as I'm aware, been in these threads whether games like NSMBU and Galaxy drove substantial Wii sales, or were simply the beneficiary of Wii sales. And the answer that's been established is that it was the latter.

Are people buying the Wii U for NSMBU, sure, it may be the primary reason.
Do those people amount to a substantial number sufficient to keep a system from flailing. No.

Another oft repeated statement from earlier this year and last was that nintendos first party alone would easily have it fair better than the vita and its third party scraps.

Numbers for Super Robot Wars Infinite Battle are terrible, but they totally deserved it. The game is supposed to be shit and they tried to shove it down fans' throat by making the limited edition (9000 yen) of the game the only way to acquire the completely unrelated side-story to last year's game that everybody wanted.

Yep. The key difference between the two is 3rd party software is quite profitable on the Vita and thus 3rd party developers continue to develop for the platform in increasing numbers. On the Wii U, however, 3rd party games do not find profitable sales, so we find 3rd parties abandoning the platform in droves.

Currently PSV is receiving either of those, if not exclusives:
- Upport of PSP game, if not simultaneous release.
- Downport of PS3 game, if not simultaneous release.

Either way 3rd party can choose whatever path they want to make for extra cash opportunity. Of course if either choice seems unreasonable then they can completely ignore it. However quite a few devs are doing so because Sony is providing tools for both ways for cheap (or free maybe?)

In contrary, WiiU must receive port from either PS3 or 3DS. At launch window Japanese 3rd party devs actually ported games to WiiU. It seems like the trend died out like spring of 2014 :(

Exactly, which is why it is such an appealing platform for third parties. You only have to compare sales of games like Sen no Kiseki (PSV vs PS3), God Eater 2 (PSV vs PSP) to see that the Vita is, in fact, alive and viable. Dismissing the Vita as a dead platform at this point is ridiculous. It's just getting started.

This is really where Nintendo's stance on third parties becomes apparent. It's not a difficult task for developers to prepare a game for Wii U in addition to their PS3 and Xbox 360 builds. But aside from the few games at launch, we haven't seen much desire from third parties to do this.

As I said, the difference in third party support between Vita and Wii U is astounding. Vita already has good third party support. This will likely continue until one of two things happens: 1) its successor appears 2) PS4->PSV ports become difficult after PS3/PSP are no longer in the picture. For the latter, Vita will likely be a viable platform on its own at that point, without relying on ports. Meanwhile, Wii U has very little third party support, and its first party support is not making enough waves for the public to buy the hardware in droves. Arguably, Nintendo needs to step up the pace of their big releases, while at the same time making the hardware itself more appealing, either through a price drop, or a different SKU.

That much money for story-based content? What a horrible strategy on the part of the developer.

Those kind of tactics deserve large amounts of backlash.

Nov 25- Dec 1 - WiiU: 28,518, PSV: 25,593


Here's some rough estimates of my own based on those numbers.

Basically looking at 2010-2011 (2009 had New Super Mario Bros Wii, which seemed to do a lot by itself)
2010 Wii: Nov 1st week 11,725, Nov - Jan 9 - 620,762 (10 weeks) - ratio 52.94
2011 Wii: Nov 1st week 11,521, Nov - Jan 8 - 369,182 (10 weeks) - ratio 32.04


Let's compare that to Sony's PS3 for 2010-2012.
2010: Nov 1st week - 23,524, Nov - Jan 9 - 475,955 (10 weeks) - ratio 20.23
2011: Nov 1st week - 26,966, Nov - Jan 8 - 493,034 (10 weeks) - ratio 18.28
2012: Nov 1st week - 21,310, Nov - Jan 6 - 366,176 (10 weeks) - ratio 17.18

Here's the Vita:
2012: Nov 1st week - 4,842, Nov - Jan 6 - 143,284 (10 weeks) - ratio 29.59
2013: Nov. 1st week - 28,219, Nov - Dec 1 - 193,010 (5 weeks)

WiiU
2013: Nov 1st week - 40,118 b/c of bundle, let's use the 17,737 number of the week after,
Nov - Dec 1 - 123,281 (5 weeks)

Looking at the numbers above, the Wii U in 2013 should at least beat the Vita in 2012 assuming something major doesn't happen. Nintendo clearly gets a bigger boost historically in the holiday season than Sony. Sony gets a boost, but they seem to be generally more consistent throughout the rest of the year instead.

The difference these past 2 weeks is somewhat similar to the bumps received in 2010-2011, (2010 Wii - 48%, 2011 Wii - 54%, 2013 Wii U - 35% - altho last week was 3D World's release).


Now let's say we have a bump of 25%, 30%, or 35% each week going into xmas for the WiiU (25% is much less than the Wii in 2010-2011).

Nov 18-24 - WiiU: 21,002
Nov 25- Dec 1 - WiiU: 28,518

Predictions with 25%, 30%, and 35% increase each week:
Dec 2-8 - WiiU: 35,647, 37,073, 38,499
Dec 9-14 - WiiU: 44,559, 48,195, 51,974
Dec 15-21 - WiiU: 55,699, 62,654, 70,164
Dec 22-28 - WiiU: 69,624, 81,450, 94,722
Total units sold in 4 weeks of December with those %ages: 205,529, 229,372, 255,359

The question is though what software would actually sell with these units apart from the bundled ones? Mario 3D World? Pikmin 3? Taiko?

That basically puts a bunch of people owning Mario Bros U and Wii Party, and potentially Mario 3D World (and hopefully something else...).
