I wonder how long before the base 2DS gets discontinued there. It can’t even break 1,000 units.
When the New 3DS was below 1,000 they discontinued it, so it’s not going to be too long before the 2DS gets discontinued. All the 3DS systems have dropped in sales since Switch launched, you compare it to this same week last year, and it was near 50,000 units. Despite what Nintendo says, clearly the market can’t handle 2 Nintendo handheld systems, at least not in Japan.
We have a literal crap ton of them where I work too. The Switch sells much faster and even the 2DS XLs. The winner of slowest seller though goes to the New 3DS XLs. We’ve had two in stock for MONTHS and I just noticed one of them sold lol.
I wonder when the XBONE one gets discontinued, it can’t even crack 100 units.
You really hate it Mike, heh.
I wonder what accounted for the massive uptick in Xbox One sales?
Sea of Thieves hype
Yea record numbers Xbox got this week in Japan. Best week in a while
Not surprised by Hyrule Warriors. Zelda related stuff always do best outside of Japan to my knowledge.
I’ll be getting Assassin’s Creed Rogue for my PS4 either this weekend or next month.
I don’t see Sea of Thieves. Oh right. It’s an Xbox exclusive so probably sold around 80-200 copies.
Maybe 200 is too generous? Or maybe it’s not generous enough. I guess it depends on how many total Xbox Ones there are in homes in Japan.
BUT ROGUE IS JUST A LAST GEN PORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😉
lol I’ve never owned a PS3 or XB360 so last gen ports are more than welcome on the PS4. In a way, I’m lucky as I get the best games from last gen for cheaper the price others paid for them.
Same goes for non Wii U owning Switch owners, except the “cheaper” part 😕
Still good though.
Impressive. Kirby is doing his best
People still buy 1-2 Switch?
The world is full of fools.
Finally a more varied lineup, still looks like ports of non-critical games sells really low (Hyrule Warriors)… for good.
Ni No Kuni sales really low, wasn’t expecting it (while wasn’t expecting more from Valkyria, looks like a marginal game).
