It would need to do ~250K in Europe for that. It did 453K at retail in Japan.
No, only retail.
As of April 6 2013, it did over 80K digitally.

listen to the mad man
Let me take the liberty of giving you a refund, given that you're not happy with the quality of the product you paid for.
Edit: Looks like someone else got there first.

Is the Monster Hunter number 3DS only or 3DS + Wii U?
3DS only.
3DS + Wii U is over 200k (see previous posts in this thread)... I think the split was 66% for 3ds at launch if my memory is not failing me.

No wii games this year?
among the lowest three, it goes nds > wii > psp
wii had pandora's tower, which did over 20k. not bad for what it was. it also had the croods. all versions of the croods bombed pretty hard.

I doubt if it did any more at digital front. The game was extremely hard to find in most shops during its launch and hence people might've resorted to digital copy. Regardless, the retail sales alone are pretty damn good. I hope Nintendo continues to make quality FE games and localize them.
I am just curious, do we have LTD number for The Last Story and Xenobalde on Wii?
fire emblem > ni no kuni > pokemon mystery dungeon
Mostly movie games this year. Croods, Smurfs, and Turbo ... for example.
Not everyone buys digital as a last resort if they can't find a physical copy in stores. Some people actually prefer that format. If it was at 80k digital as of April (about 2 months after launch), it could have crawled its way to 100k by now. Especially with the current SMT4/FE promotion.
Splitting the difference and saying FE Awakening is at 325k in the US (not counting the hardware bundle), the game probably ended up with shipments over 1M worldwide. When you factor in Canada and the rest of the Americas (plus US stock that is still in stores), the Pal version would have to be well under 200k to have missed that total.
Thanks.
Even though I find the game a chore, I am just curious how a critics darling JRPG with seemingly good word-of-mouth do these days. Now I'm a little worried for SMT IV.
SMT IV has a really good cross promotion with FE:A that should do well to sell both games. And >200k for Ni No Kuni is a fantastic result.
Thanks!

Hahaha. I hope someone has a GIF ready for that. Great reference.
Ok. I'll probably sleep a couple of hours first and then get up for it. See y'all then.
3.45m until end of march.
Sold not quite 4M so far, right?

Sell through should be somewhere under 3 million.
I'm mostly interested in how 3DS performed. This was a good quarter for it.
That's shipped right?
Yeah then they are still probably under 3M sold and don't think they would have reached 4M shipped yet then.

Honestly, I expect next to nothing in the way of news from this NCL earnings report. I think they'd already have cut the price I'd they were going to do it this year, and they've already written off Q1 for Wii U sales, so they may not even downgrade the batshit 9M forecast. Not that U haven't been wrong before.
Sony's Q1 results are a day later, but I don't expect much from that, either.

Don't underestimate Iwata's channel-stuffing skillz.
While he might not have put it in the most eloquent words, I too have a hard time comprehending that chart. Is there a reason for it being as abbreviated as it is?
Well Nintendo has juicy graphs and estimates for all the consoles sales so that's always interesting. The shipment for Wii U will be pretty interesting to watch.
With Sony it'd be fun to see if they'll finally show the PS3 figure and if it'll be over Xbox360 (seeing that PS2 is no longer produced). Also it will be interesting if Sony as a whole is profitable this quarter.

It will be worse. Logically they would have shipped zero units this quarter as there is so many unsold consoles in the market but maybe they forced some retailers by gunpoint to take couple of them to avoid complete disaster.

Because it is private data that he is not actually allowed to release. He doesn't want to get himself into trouble so he has to abbreviate the data in some form.

Those with NPD numbers like to be mysterious, even though posting more concrete numbers logically should not get them in any more trouble than doing what they so now. I mean... would it? Or do they just turn it into a game for amusement? Lol
How would not abbreviating it make them more likely to get busted? Unless they ARE already being watched and the powers that be let it slide because it's a little cryptic? That doesn't make that much sense. It accomplishes almost the same thing short of releasing full unabridged sales data spreadsheets... meh.
While I guessed as much, I'm not sure that can be considered general knowledge.

So, Ni No Kuni sold more than 200k at retail? That is very nice.

1) When you consider the nature of NPD data distribution, it's easier to post ranges than hand-copy exact figures.
2) Absolute numbers aren't very important for the good majority of people here.
3) Leakers are just trying to be as careful as possible.

What do we have to work with?
Let's say Wii U at 1.2mm in the U.S. through the end of June.
What is the Japanese market through there? About 950K?
What do we estimate the rest of the world did? Does 1mm seem fair?
So that would put total Wii U HW through the end of June at around 3.2mm units, on shipments of 3.45mm.
They didn't need to ship any extras to sell through that, but they might have shipped a few more to keep supply up. How much more? 250K?
I'm just musing out loud, but I am curious about shipments in particular.
One bright spot that I fully expect Nintendo to focus on is their digital growth. It will be interesting to see what Animal Crossing and Luigi U did for them.

1) Wii U sold ~115k from 2013-04-01 to 2013-07-01 according to media create.
2) IIRC it did similar numbers in the US in the same period.
3) No idea about EU sales but the system sells the worst there, definitely less than 100k I would say.
All in all the Wii U probably sold 250-300k WW to consumers this Q.
Many consoles from the previous shipments are still unsold so the number could be smaller too.
K.
My view: They sold through, what, 300K in the past quarter? Why put out much more than that to replace it, given what we know will be driving software until October.
If they do decide to ship much more, what does that mean? They are dropping price? Doing bundling to move more systems? Like I said, the hardware shipments and the digital software sales are the things I want to see most.
