It’s Wednesday which means it is time to find out how the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U did last week in Japan. It has been a fairly quiet week this week with only a couple of new releases including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition for the PlayStation 4. Hardware sales were nothing to write home about with Nintendo 3DS and Wii U sales remaining pretty similar to last week. Here’s the best-sellers in Japan!

They should just discontinue the Wii U, there’s no point in selling such a called console.
*failed console
It hasn’t failed in my book. Nintendos not bankrupt, I’ve gotten some of the best games of this generation and one of my favorite Nintendo consoles to date. I’ll be looking forward to NX but in the mean time I’ll be enjoying the Wii U.

Troll harder, doofus, the MORON. Nintendo will discontinue the Wii U in 2018. The final two games will be available this and next year.
What a depressing little human you are.
I hope Yo-Kai picks up more in the US. Also, vita still selling 10k consoles? Pretty good.
Good. No FedshitForce in the list so another good day has arrived upon us!
Lol, the Wii U does 4K better than the PS4 Pro ;D
