Nintendo has a strong grip on the Japanese sales market. A new report from Media Create claims that the Big N currently maintains a 70% share on all software and hardware sales in the country. The sales tracker says this is Nintendo’s highest percentage in the pat five years.
The 3DS XL, Wii, and DSi sales have collectively maintained a 75% share of all hardware sales in Japan over the past year. Sony is the next closest leader at 23%.
Last week, 69.74% of Japanese software sales accounted for Nintendo platforms. Dragon Quest X and New Super Mario Bros. 2 are two big titles that contributed to the figure. To compare, Sony’s share came in at 29.18%.

CNET has given us a full look at the Wii U media event invitation. It’s honestly not that big of a deal, but it does confirm that the proceedings will begin at 10 AM and carry through 4 PM. I imagine that first hour will consist of a press conference in which the Wii U release date and price are announced, followed by hands-on time with games.
Remember: this will all be taking place on September 13. We’ll be sure to cover all of the important news!
For today only, Best Buy is offering Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars for $8. It’s a high-quality 3DS title that would be a great addition to your 3DS library.
You can order the game online here. Free shipping is available, and in-store pickup is also an option.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed executive producer Steve Lycett says that developer Sumo was initially surprised by some of Wii U’s specs. In particular, the team was pleased with the capabilities of the GPU.
According to Lycett:
“There are always surprises and unexpected challenges when you develop on a new console. When we first got our hands on the kit, the first surprise was the capability of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). We’d been worried that we might need to re-engineer all the effects and shaders in the game, but they worked just fine.”
Lycett says that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on Wii U looks just as good as the other versions. It may actually look slightly better since it has “way more memory” than other platforms.
“The Wii U looks as good as any of the HD platforms. The Wii U has way more memory, so we can take advantage of that with less compression on elements and textures, so it will look all lovely and shiny.”
