Surprised to see the lego game come out on top for ps4.

Nintendo financials are out, but I'm at my phone so it's a pain to share. Hardware up but only thanks to Japan, down outside of Japan. Some good software sales but "It's definitely going to outsell Halo 5"-Splatoon is pretty significantly overtracked on the chertz, between 500-750k would be my guess.

Edit: Wii U at 12.6 million overall, so overtracked as well.

Wii U: 12.6m shipped
3DS: 57.94m shipped

20.5m amiibo figures.
21.5m amiibo cards.

NIS from GAF.

NIS president talks Disgaea 5; Yomawari sales; new IP development - NeoGAF

Demand for a new thread was there, so I thought I'd post this in open forum translated to the best of my ability (i.e. no ability, lol).  If anyone else has better translations or if one of the news sites picks up on this, I'll update the OP.

http://www.famitsu.com/news/201602/01097439.html

(In all cases I believe sales = shipped)

- Sales of Disgaea 5 = 60k in Japan; 112k Worldwide.  Notes that they expanded to release in Asia this time.  Sales in Japan were "tough" but sales in NA/EU/AS made up for it.

- Sales of Yomawari = 48k in Japan.  Sold more than double what they were expecting.

- Sales of Criminal Girls 2 = 29k in Japan.  No mention of whether this met expectations.

- Talks about how Witch & Hundred Knight Remaster was created not just for domestic market, but also overseas where PS4 is taking off.  Mentions it's difficult to ignore Vita for the domestic market and he sees NIS developing for those two platforms going forward.

- Article mentions again the focus on new IP's this year - 70% of NIS's titles are going to be new IP's (already revealed: Coven and the Labyrinth of Refrain; Rose and the Castle of Twilight)

The Wii U has never been not overtracked there. It's mind boggling how each time shipments come out its never corrected. 600k on shelves and in route at a minimum.


Oh and it being 4th quarter probably more.

[Rorono]

There are never any Nintendo systems on shelves. This is common sense.

They sell out as soon as they arrive!

The Wii U isn't selling because Nintendo doesn't want it to confirmed!!

But both are down yoy though?

3DS - 3.6 million (down from 4.99 million last year)
Wii U - 1.87 million (down from 1.91 million last year)


Both 3DS and WiiU massively overtracked as usual on chertz.

140k 3DS on shelves after the holidays 130k WiiU?

Hmm, maybe I only looked at the 9 month period and not the last 3 months.

Also Nintendo Gaf is overdoing it a little and really getting ahead of itself here, like seriously:

So, is Splatoon the best, most successful new first party IP this gen? - NeoGAF

After the recent financial results?  Yes it is. - fake edit -  only talking about exclusive titles, so let's just skip Minecraft already. - non fake edit -  sales are at 4.02 million.  Also, it will be fun to bet that this may even prove to be the most successful new IP this gen, period.

Wii>PS1 now? Or is it just rounded up to 102 million?

Wii U seems to be doing ok relativly. Pretty flat yoy; feels like they found their niche.

Is 3DS dying fast? Seems like it's lost steam.

PS1 = 102.49m
Wii = 101.63m

At this point the Wii won't make it over 101.65m. But this is just semantics at this point.

Nintendo said Wii is officially discontinued in US.
