SK2 deserves more love.
Congrats to YW2 for reaching 2 million.

this scares me
Unless Sakurai were involved in the development, it shouldn't.
Openings for the series:
SK: 53,951
SKB: 70,569 [Expansion]
SKV: 91,639 [Vita spinoff]
SK2: 47,325

Dragon Quest X pack releases always bump Wii U's numbers.
Wii U not that far from 3x PS4. This is madness (and a battle between two platforms sucking sales wise in the territory).
Since no one else will give you pleasure... I get it.
It was on last year, when Versus came out.
It was like 13 episodes.

Customers are smart.
They won't take swimsuits as a replacement for true underwears.
By Furyu standards, it was expected.
Should have released it on Vita. Vita means life, after all.
I'm surprised by how well it's doing.

Thanks for that. Shame as this feels like the best one yet after a few hours. Interested to see what next weeks numbers are like.
12 Episodes
Jan 6, 2013 to Mar 24, 2013
that doesn't seem too bad. from the comments I'm seeing in here it would seem that series aligns more with the Vita's audience so it makes sense it did a little better on that platform. thanks for the numbers!
Eh, I fear that explains the bigger result for the Vita title, but also (even if not completely) Senran Kagura 2's disappointing debut compared to the other 3DS titles.

The anime aired from January to March 2013. It was only 12 episodes and honestly it wasn't that good. I can see how it helped the SV sell.
PS3 version didn't even chart in Media Create. Sucks. It looked decent from the gameplay videos I saw, why did it bomb so hard?

Mario Kart 8 is having really strong legs, not long ago some were wondering if it was going to catch Mario Kart: Double Dash!! or Mario Kart: Super Circuit. There is no doubt it will easily cross the million mark by the end of the year.

Could be. Don't want to have to wait on that update the day you buy the game you want.

SK2 
Still think it will go to 100k in the end. Shame it didn't do better, gameplay is way better than Burst and Versus
, even if japanese gamers complain about its difficulty (other games were way too easy/broken).
I don't think it would have done a lot better on Vita as well, apart from 10k otakus needing more of the usual stuff. SK has a small fanbase, east and west.
Nice bumps for WiiU and some other things as well.

Then we would have seen someone preordering it. I predict sub 100k opening week.
Mario Kart.

Wii U almost up on Vita levels of championing
Still wouldn't be enough.
It's probably more because (IIRC) now it's Holiday time for children in Japan, and it was the week before Obon (which is this week. It's possible Hyrule Warriors's anticipation could have helped, but I think its contribute wasn't that much, in the end.

Regarding SK, that game's audience just seems to be on the Vita much more than on the 3DS. I know that Shinovi had the anime to help boost sales, but the game itself fits the Vita's fanbase much more (no offense to Vita owners). We'll see how that 3rd SK game does if it's released on Vita (we don't know much about it yet, right?)

But it only sold a few thousand.
Nice bumps for MK8 and Wii U I guess. Better than nothing.
If I'm not mistaken, these numbers would not capture sales of used PSPs, and those are cheap now.

Aw man, so close, I was really betting it'd be in the 4ks this week.

Didn't the Wii U have a small bump last week too? Is this because of MK legs?
Went from abysmal to slightly less abysmal will the sales make it to horrible territory?! Lol

Surprised by the (small) Wii U bump, 3DS still trucking along and decent numbers for Vita.
PS4 is doing pretty bad but sales will improve when more titles are released next year, at least I hope. Next week numbers will be interesting!
