I will be getting my 3DS by the end of the week. I might be getting a used system but I will be buying new games.

I would consider getting a used Wii U if I could find one at a reasonable price but that current asking price is too much for me at the moment.

New Play Control! Pikmin 2 sneaks in to the top 20 over Japan's Obon festival. Pikmin 3 hangs in there at number 9 to have a Nintendo platform sweep in the top 10.

[Phil]

I hope that Disney game comes to the West. Is there a possibility for that, or would there be licensing issues? I have no clue, I'm not too on top of the title, as you can probably guess. Sorry if that was a dumb question! 

[Ceric]

Its the Nintendo own Japan chart.

3 games that weren't on a Nintendo System. 
9 out of 20 of them are published by Nintendo.

Good haul for Nintendo this week.

The Wonderful 101 has a thud of a debut at the 14th spot, selling less than Pikmin 3.
The Vita version of Conception 2 sells a lot more than the 3DS version. Siliconera writes that it may be due to the Vita version being more heavily advertised.

[Phil]

;_; Nooooo, TW101.


I knew it only had a shipment of 30k, but that's so disappointing... beyond disappointing.

[azeke]

Wonderful 101 is one of the greatest games i ever played, so not only i get enjoyment from game itself i also get to think i am one of the very few to do so.

Win-win for me.

I envy americans who will get to play W101 soon and will curse and go WTF at first. Because after that initial shock they will reach that G-spot of action gaming nirvana and the game will start hitting it and ramming it and drilling it repeatedly for many, many, many hours and won't let you go.

[Mop it up]

I'm a little surprised at Wonderful 101, it seems like a pretty Japanese-y game to me.

Crazy how it won't be much longer before the 3DS surpasses the Wii...!

[toddra]

I thought it would do better, it is the only game so far released that I was actually looking forward to, so I just figured it was going to be more popular than this. Maybe it will appeal more to US gamers?

[azeke]

Apparently Wii U version of Rayman Legends outsold both Xbox360 and PS3 ports in first week in UK.

Ubisoft has once again shook the world with their acute decision making with burning off their fanbase on Nintendo system hoping to gain fanbase on two other systems that was simply not there.

[BranDonk Kong]

What's sad is that Rayman Legends would have been a potential system seller if it was released 6 months ago.

Do we have actual numbers there or mere percentages? I wouldn't be surprised if the game sold best on Wii U considering that launch day demo is still the main one on display at game stores, but percentages can be misleading.

[azeke]

As far as i remember, percentages are -- Wii U at 45%, Xbox at 30%, PS3 at 18%, or something like that.
Overall, the game bombed, just like Origins did. Or everyone are just waiting it to hit bargain bin/PS+.

[Soren]

Or everyone are just waiting it to hit bargain bin/PS+.

There's way too many games coming out now. I would have gladly splurged to get this in February when I was only playing Runner 2. Right now though TW101, Wind Waker HD and Duck Tales Remastered are all higher priorities than Rayman.

[ShyGuy]

Would this game even be much of a hit in the UK? I get the impression that British gamers are even more bro-tastic than American gamers. Maybe I should stay Chav-tastic?

No new releases for Nintendo platforms last week. Though, that didn't stop the 3DS from selling more than the previous week. Pikmin 3 hangs in the top 20 while The Wonderful 101 disappears.

Take that, PSP! You silly little 8.5 year old handheld!

Considering the marketing budget for Jojo (including a Famitsu 40), I expected 300k or so. Well done.

Excellent numbers for XIV: A Realm Reborn. And you can tell if you're playing online, too. All of this server upgrade/maintenance going on has taken Square-Enix completely by surprise. Such a great game...and a great re-imagining of the world and lore, too.

That's part of the reason I haven't jumped in among others is I'm waiting for the servers to settle.

I  hope you do get on, Ceric. And join Hyperion to boot! It's a very compelling game, and I've never been engrossed by a MMO story before like I've been with ARR. New battle mechanics are smooth, and the new Crossbar system is brilliant. So good, that I've ordered a Wii U Pro Controller USB adapter for my PC - I tire of using this Logitech controller. :/

Off-topic: Oh, and I'm listening to the newest NFR. Keep up the good work!
