This week’s Japanese sales charts are now in thanks to Media Create. There’s nothing spectacular about this week’s charts, but that was to be expected. The Nintendo 3DS sold 35K and the Wii U limped along selling 6K. The top game this week was a new entry on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, Dragon Ball Xenoverse. Anyway, here’s the best-selling software and hardware this week in Japan.

HA! Normal 3DS still outsells X Box One.
……in Japan. I love the 3DS as much as anyone, especially the new one, but come on. The Japanese don’t really buy much of ANY console.
Why are they not buying new software for there all new hardware? Why would you not want to play games for on an all new pS4?
Only 238 units for Xbox one? So when will that piece of crap be done?
World wide it’s already outselling the wii u even though it came out a year later
still don’t see why Microsoft released the Xboner at Japan
I really do not understand that people make fun of the xbox one, when the wii u sells worse than the gamecube world wide.
It’s just people who can’t afford to own more than one console. It was like this 10 years ago, and 10 years before that. Only difference is now everyone has the internet and the power to anonymously hate on people over it. I honestly pity children growing up in this century.
Ha, we already have people beating the dead horse that is Xbox One sales in order to deflect away from the fact that the Wii U is still doing shit-poor in Japan. Newsflash: Xbox will always have awful sales in Japan.
News slash for you, After two price drops of course it would sell. If it wasn’t for those 2 the Xbox would fail.
News “slash” for you: Xbox One was still selling fairly well before the price cuts in comparison to the 360 and far above the Wii U at the same point. Regardless, your point has nothing to do with what I talked about. My comment speaks about Xbox’s failure in Japan, while you bring up something completely unrelated.
If Xbox One was number One it wouldn’t need two price cuts and 25 changes unlike Sony who won.
I didn’t say it was number one. Good grief, you’re either trying really hard to troll, or you’re an idiot. Or both. *golfclap*
But I brought up the console being number one. Unlike you who seems unstable 1 million to none.
Even after cutting its price twice it cost more than the wii u and its still outselling the Wii u
Psvita still outselling Wii U lol
Does that matter? Game boy micro out sold psp and psv.
Uhhhhh. No it didn’t. Not even close.
Also the vita actually does get games in japan
For some reason you bring up the Vita, but when it comes to the 3Ds nothing out does that even.
Nintendo has the software.
Wii u is for real gamers.
ahaha. Oh, I see what you are now. Carry on, troll.
Usually when european sell list appeare everyone in this forum says that we europeans have a horrible taste in gaming but now in this japan list number one is the horrible Dragon Ball Xenoverse a horrible game and anyone say anything…
Yea, because they also had Smash Bros., Mh4u, Mario Kart 8, Persona, amoung others on the list. There is no reason to complain about this list, unlike the European list which is horrible.
The whole criticism of “horrible taste” is bullshit because everyone likes different things. Dumbass fanboys will go on about how you’re shit for buying the GTA remake or some other game they don’t like, when it’s all subjective. Just because you think a game is bad doesn’t mean other people do, and obviously Japan (and the world) likes Dragonball and Dragonball games.
I think dragon ball xenoverse is an awsome game since 2 or 3 year bandai have up their games.
Wii U sales are declining… We totally need a Reggie-based game to drive sales… My body’s ready for it!
i recommend getting a wii u
The chart says persona 4 golden for ps vita the best lmao

Why do these sales numbers always look the same in Japan?
