You need to stop putting so much stock into Amazon in Japan, it's nowhere near as big over there as it is in the west.

Nah I've tracked it for 2 years. You can tell if it's going to do well or not.  Next week's numbers will be good.

Well duh, of course they will be good, new years week is always good for Sony in Japan.

I meant this part: But it's clear as day.  Sony are nowhere near meeting demand in Japan so far.

3DS is selling great this holiday. Brother works at retail and he's had to help a ton of people try to find them around town.

Also sold out online practically everywhere for a while. My family really lucked out in finding some.

Well duh, of course they will be good, new years week is always good for Sony in Japan.

I meant this part: But it's clear as day.  Sony are nowhere near meeting demand in Japan so far.

Regardless there's been a clear correlation between its performance on amazon Japan and how it's been doing weekly.  And I'm talking from the days of low baseline a few years ago to the highs of this year.  

Saying it's pointless is like saying amazon America is pointless.  It's not the be all and end all but it's Worth noting like I do.

Anyway looking forward to tomorrow mediacreate!

Spanish Video Game Software Sales 2016 - NeoGAF

The latest issue of the Spanish video game magazine Hobby Consolas features an article about the video game sales in Spain.  They list the 10 best-selling games of 2016 (2015 too) and the flops of the year. I don't agree with some flops because for example I find Gears of War 4 sold at least decently well considering the low install base of the platform.  They don't cite the source, but it has to be rounded leaked GfK data, it can't be VG Chartz because they don't track Spain. Also, I would like to point out that I found some inconsistencies in the top 10 because for example a big game like Tom Clancy's The Division is missing from the top 10 and I'm sure it outsold Final Fantasy XV.
