Japan: Wii U sales outpacing PS4 through first three weeks
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 11 Comments
Wii U hasn’t been lighting up the Japanese sales charts, but something about the system’s performance may surprise you. Through their first three weeks of availability, Nintendo’s console has actually outsold the PlayStation 4.
Check out a comparison between the two below:
Wii U
Week | Dates | Sales |
Week 1 | December 3-9, 2012 | 308,142 |
Week 2 | December 10-16, 2012 | 126,916 |
Week 3 | December 17-23, 2012 | 122,843 |
– | – | 557,901 |
PS4
Week | Dates | Sales |
Week 1 | February 17-23, 2014 | 309,104 |
Week 2 | February 24-March 02, 2014 | 65,685 |
Week 3 | March 03-09, 2014 | 35,294 |
– | – | 410,083 |
PS4 supply may be constrained in Japan, though that’s likely not the only reason for lower-than-expected sales. This is also another sign that the impact of consoles continue to decline in the territory. As IGN points out, even the 3DS and PS Vita haven’t reached the same heights as their predecessors.

Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land is off to a great start for Marvelous AQL. Media Create data reveals that the game sold 130,782 units in its first week in Japan, making it the biggest opening for a Harvest Moon title in recent years.
