Excellent…
Let me know when your ready to be defeated at mario kart ;)
I’m ready anytime…
Add me, N-Commander…
Brilliant
Another poor week for video games in Japan.
Are you honestly surprised though? It’s a sad situation over there for the industry. It’s only a shell of it’s former glory days.
I would really love to see US Wii U sales. People over here are picky and going crazy over PS4, so I wanna see if it’s doing alright. :)

is it me or 12k is the average sale for the top 3?
I have seen 100k on 3DS but even now the Vita, which is selling fast is 13k. Maybe it’s because of the mobile market
There is a new electronic tax that i believe is hitting all electronics particularly hard in Japan.
That might be one contributing factor, but things were on a decline even before that was instituted. ;/
*sigh* Japan.
Wait, you guys still using this BS excuse since last month……
sales tax went up to 8% from 5% and is expected to rise to 10% by next april…not specifically electronics tax or anything
Still dominating the PS4 I see ;)
It sold over 400K in leas than 3 weeks… DAYYUUMM
Was expecting more for Wii U having Mario Kart being out. On that same note more games will be churning so that number will soon rise.
3.29 million Monster Hunter 4 sales…Wow. Nintendo cant afford to sit idly by and let Capcom get snatched up by a competitor. Hopefully they get aggressive.
Ace Attorney & Monster Hunter… Nintendo would really be hurting if it wasn’t for these titles driving hardware sales through the roof. Picking up exclusivity on a ton of other more hardcore genre games, including Lost Planet and Dead Rising, would be a great boon too. Viewtiful Joe 2? Resident Evil returning to its glory days (RE4 for gamecube hands down best one) Yes Please!
Wii U is a dead console…
… that name says it all…
If Wii U was dead it wouldn’t be owning the Xbox One in the UK, Europe and now America whilst destroying PS4
In Japan*

LIES!!!
http://mynintendonews.com/2014/06/04/japanese-charts-nintendo-3ds-sells-23k-and-wii-u-sells-19k-with-mario-kart-8/
playstaton vita start to sell well…. ironic if we think about it….. I fell sorry for the xbox360… just 231 units…. I have to say I will buy one piece once the price of the game is not as bad as it is now, £50 no way!!!!!!
I have a feeling Smash 4 will sell better than MK8 this generation.
From the looks of it, I think you may be right.
“As always, the previous week’s sales numbers are in parentheses.”
Ummmm, you didn’t have the previous weeks sales in parentheses when it showed “increase” in Wii U sales.

#Pretendos
But the week after that(when Wii U sales decreased a little) THEN you put last week’s sales back in parentheses.

Hmmm, I wonder why….
#Wii U pessimists
Media Create sales were sourced from a different site that week, so if they weren’t added in that would be the reason why.
Okay… >_>
Just coincidence it be the one week that show positive Wii U sales.
Ps4 has been outselling wii u worldwide since its launch except in irrelevant Japan
I don’t care.
I’d hardly call Japan irrelevant.
It’s funny how this guy says Japan is irrelevant despite the fact that Sony is a Japanese company.
Shows how Sony is so out of touch with their homeland
Ps4 is for umm idk
Listen, I am a proud owner of a Wii U and have several games I am enjoying including Kart. I love the system. I like that sales for Kart have been robust. That said…the Wii U needed to have a couple million sales bump from this game and it isn’t remotely close. It appears many of the Wii U owners have purchased the game but it hasn’t led to people buying the system.
Sorry to say but the Wii U is done.. The same thing is going to happen when Smash comes out. Lots of hype, lots of people who already own a Wii U will buy one, but not many new owners. Yoshi’s Wooly World, Bayonetta 2, Captain Todd, X and Mario Maker are all looking great but none of those will move systems. Zelda might help a little but not enough.
It seems like Japan is over consoles. It is obvious that console sales for this gen will be nothing like last, despite the strong launches. Only hardcore gamers are buying systems. The casuals are out. People don’t need a PS4 or Xbone for blu ray or Netflix as they already have machines for that so that impetus is gone. Now only gamers are buying and there is nowhere near the same numbers.
Says the pretendo who goes on My Nintendo News giving away his salty tears for us to feed. Nintendo wins E3, Mario Kart 8 is the best selling title in the world, and you need to either deal with it or leave.
Oh… I forgot one other thing — The special 2-disc Bayonetta 2 is in the top 5 sellers list on Amazon.com Japan, Hyrule Warriors is gonna be another system seller, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is gonna boost sales and sell more Wii U systems, Devil’s Third is on the verge of becoming a sleeper hit, Xenoblade Chronicles X is gonna be more epic than the original Wii counterpart, and The Legend of Zelda U will become another system seller. I hate to tell you this… but the Wii U is far from being done. The Year of U will continue.
And NIntendo’s new IP Splatoon is gonna be another surprise hit that delivers fun and innovation like no other.
Fuck Off Fag
Why wasn’t the title, Nintendo outsells the PS4…. ???
Well it outsold it last week too but it’s barely outselling it. All systems are doing poorly including the 3DS. I just looked at comparisons of 3DS vs. DS and Wii U vs. Wii for the same timeframe since launches and both systems are doing very poor against their predecessors. Japan, and this industry as a whole, is hurting right now.
@GeDDeN(@GeDDeN7)
Because the Wii U outselling the PS4 is not a right thing to report, but if PS4 outsells the Wii U again it will be in the title rest assured.
Has anyone that’s been on this site since the Wii U released been keeping track of the sales getting reported on My Nintendo News for the Wii U, Playstation 4, & Xbox One? If one of the admins have, maybe they should make an article giving us the overall sales of each console so far.
you only get figures for japan and north america
there’s no official or regular sales figures for europe
if you want an approximate number go to vgchartz, but take those with a grain of salt
or wait for nintendo to release official worldwide numbers
they’re always included in their fiscal report: the wii u sold 2.7 million in the 2014 fiscal year, but sales triggered by mario kart are not included since the fiscal year ended in march
other than that there’s nothing really
if even mario kart can’t get the japanese to buy home consoles i guess nothing can
the xbox one is pretty much doomed from the start over there
Unfortunately, some Japanese can’t handle 3D graphics of a Mario game like this because they actually get motion sickness. I think this is why Nintendo has been releasing the New Super Mario Bros games. I guess the 3D side scrolling games is less hard on them. I’m hoping Hyrule Warriors boosts sales of Wii Us in Japan, though, since it’s Zelda with Dynasty/Samurai Warriors gameplay. The Musou series tends to be a big hit over there from what I’ve heard.
some people in europe and the US will get that too
it’s not like that’s exclusive to japan
and 3D games have been popular in japan for years
i guess mobile devices are really hitting the console business hard right now over there
