nintendo bringing it home
A merry Christmas year round as should be, and a very merry Nintendo new year.
Humbleness and greatness is Nintendo. They have Amiibos selling like fresh baked goodies, 3DS still being Emperor, the WiiU selling at a profit. Nintendo software moving numbers. All They need now is Nintendo of America to start advertising and localizing great software.
F=ma.
XBOX ONE: 815
LMAO
#XboxDoneTheRace
damn it Wii U: 48.927 :'(
Aww does a kid want a hug? Ur kids consoles is failing and 3DS Wii U is still being king
All Nintendo has to do is advertise and release their Gamecube hits remastered in a gorgeous manner.
F=ma.
One word says it all– NintenDOMINATION!
Our empire is rising again, the Xbots are soon to be eradicated from their pathetic little stronghold they have left within the borders of our empire while the Sonyans can taste the bittersweet leftovers all around it…
Cod is gay
This is great for Nintendo! Things are getting better for the Wii U again!
Decent list as always, good sales all round for all hardware and software developers, except the Xbox One anyway…
And Captain toad has outsold GTa5 ps4 edition
Not surprising, nor something to to really applaud.
Now that a nintendo game is doing it is no cause for celebration,right? -__-
I understand why you would think that since it’s a game that already released over a year ago but just the fact that it’s GTA it’s a bit surprising to me lol
The 3DS is killing it on the handheld side for Nintendo and the Wii U is killing it on the home console side for Nintendo……so in short Nintendo are killing their competition in Japan………DEAL WITH IT HATERS LMAO
You can’t keep ignoring the wii u in japan third parties!
Yokai Watch for Wii U! It makes TOO MUCH sense…
IKR?
I think that’s inevitable. That’ll probably be announced at a Japanese based Direct real soon
Xbox One = 815 …. I wonder if the Xbox sites make a news item out of this? (as this site CERTAINLY would if it was the Wii U)…..
#YokaiWatchMasterRace
Depending what week this was, video game charts has Wii U selling 37K in Japan. 3DS is the hit console. Its cheap, it has 3D tech, it offers old school games that a lot of people would rather play. Or its a price drop.
3DS is not a console but a handheld. Aside from portability, they do not have the same specs as a console [usually a gen or 2 behind, mostly due to limited &/or costly battery tech & smaller housing], & the majority of its library is exclusive w/ plenty of retro potential. The Game Boy line, DS line, & Gamegear are handhelds. They are closed in their own category. Oddly, the reasons for playing them have more to do w/ exclusivity than portability.
The PSP & Vita, however, ARE consoles, which happen to be portable & have a few exclusives. But they’re specs are much closer to what’s current gen in the console sector @ the time of their release. They share many multiplats w/ the traditional consoles, making portability its only major differential. But a portable console is not a handheld (the term is not meant to be taken literally).
Speaking of which, Wii U is the only console, while PS4 & X1 are multimedia boxes closer to budget PCs. Exclusivity, custom architecture, & optimized games epitamize ‘console’. Just like 3DS, Wii U is in its own market. Likewise, Wii U games generally emphasize gameplay over a mostly audiovisual experience.
The video game industry is just an umbrella term, as it encompasses different platforms (handheld, console, PC, mobile, & a hybrid of those). Just because it plays games does not mean it is a console.
Alas, these charts are misleading as they’re still using the same paradigm from the 6th gen, ignoring that the 7th gen split into multimedia boxes/budget PCs, portable consoles, mobile gaming, & interactive movies.
As a side note, Game & Watch & the like are also handhelds, though they do not qualify as a handheld SYSTEM like the others I mentioned (& forgot to mention the Neo Geo Pocket line) due to them playing only 1 game per device.
My bad. I thought I called it a portable console.
Is my eyes playing tricks on me, or did the Wii U actually sell more than the 3DS?
Wow!
Let’s hear it for Xbox Done!
I wish the Xbox One WAS Done! I’m sick to death of people acting like the Xbone is so damn great!
Feel bad for whoever sees the need to buy an Xbox one in Japan , I’m guessing it’s our military stationed over there ?
Good to see Treasure tracker beating GTAV.
Holy fuck. Nearly 50,000 Wii U? :D That is a damn beautiful miracle to witness.
Wow, gogogo Wiiu !
#WiiuMasterRace
