Paatar Ryng (on 10 June 2015)

If the Wii U can do 18k third week and maybe 11k fourth week, that would be almost 70k in a month for Japan. That would be superb.

June is a 5 weeks month. I predict:
1 WEEK: 21k (already confirmed)
2 WEEK: 18k
3 WEEK: 14k
4 WEEK: 12k
5 WEEK: 11k
JUNE: 76k

It would be great if we could get the United States and Europe sales as well. I am really curious how well this game is doing. I enjoy it, but that doesn't really tell me if it sold well or not.

Well, most Wii U games sell about the same in Europe as Japan and twice to three times as many in US than Japan. So I am going to safely assume it did about 150k in Europe and 300k in NA first week. Meaning it did 600k altogether, and that it will do over 1m at the end of June.

The Xbox division has been on a steady decline in Japan since the Xbox 360. The original Xbox was the most successful microsoft console in Japan, all the following consoles have decreased in sales.
The next Xbox will probably skip Japan, the only reason they would release in Japan would be out of being stubborn, as it is not a viable market for them and likely costs more money in localisation than what they get in returns at this point.
