It's currently 3:12pm in Tokyo, but I would imagine they would release the numbers before the markets close. Gotta be close...

 

[BurntPork]

This wait for the numbers reminds me of when I text a girl. I just keep thinking "when is she going to reply... *check phone*, no reply yet..... when is she going to reply", over and over again. I repeated that almost all day today. Never did get the reply...

Edit - Just checked the phone - no reply.

That's... depressing.

 

[StickSoldier]

Fuck it, I'm bout to get some shut eye.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Where exactly should I be pressing F5?

 

[pramath]

They're taking their sweet time, aren't they?
The markets close at 5PM, correct?

 

[Aad]

I knew I should have gone to sleep.

 

[olimpia84]

we want the numbers!

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Maybe Vita numbers are so low we can't even see them...

 

[areal]

Unless you're all talking about some other numbers.

 

[qizah]

It'll be interesting to see how the Vita does, especially considering it had a holiday season under it's belt and the 3DS didn't during it's first month.

 

[ßig]

Media Create keep increasing the font size of their reports in hopes of finding them.

Numbers will be report later in Media Create site.

We are looking now to 4gamer.net

 

[AMoreHumbleSquare]

Yes, although it has been scientifically proven that Famitsu has the superior numbers.

And Famitsu goes back twenty-five years with their sales charts! If we had the old issues we could be looking at weekly Famicom SW sales! (I know technically biweekly til 1991). Can't do that with m-c, Dengeki, gamecharts, COMGnet etc.

 

[pramath]

Does anyone know when the markets close in Japan? Because I am assuming that is the latest by when MC will have their numbers up.

 

[cvxfreak]

Somehow, I don't think the posting of the numbers coincides with the stock market...

 

[StreetsAhead]

Does anyone know when the markets close in Japan?

Pretty sure it's 1700, which is in 83 minutes.

 

[allan-bh]

Market is already closed in Japan

 

[pramath]

Okay, let's try this some other way...
Are we even sure the numbers are due today?

 

[-KRS-]

NUMBEEEERS!!! GIVE ME THEM!

 

[DECK'ARD]

When is Japan Time!

 

[allan-bh]

Are we even sure the numbers are due today?

It's expect today, after 3pm Japan Time

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

When is Japan Time!

 

[Jonnyram]

Google, people!

[GameplayWhore]

It's expect today, after 3pm Japan Time

So any time in the next nine hours.

 

[Luigiv]

It's expect today, after 3pm Japan Time

But it's already 3:45 Japan time, so the "after 3pm" part is kind of redundant.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Well I'm going to go get some sausage egg McMuffins to keep me going.

 

[StreetsAhead]

But it's already 3:45 Japan time.

And?

That's still after 3PM today.

 

[Luigiv]

And?

That's still after 3PM today.

I stealth edited.

 

[Busaiku]

After 3 PM could mean anything!

 

[Ashodin]

So this thread will show off the new Vita numbers? I'm absolutely curious.

New thread like every week.

I always new Luigi was the sneaky brother.

While we wait, here's 2011 Famitsu report

http://www.famitsu.com/news/201201/05008021.html

 

[Takao]

Obviously Vita sales are so bad they are double checking the numbers. Right?

They're so low Sony has asked Enterbrain to no longer report numbers.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

The expectations in this thread are being set so low that anything about 20k will probably be a relief.

 

[cvxfreak]

Famitsu just published game hardware LTD/YTD up to Dec. 25, 2011:

3DS
4,135,739

DS
711,204 / 32,835,502

PSP
1,960,177 / 18,237,108

Vita
402,794

Wii
937,451 / 12,167,743

PS3
1,467,261 / 7,417,148

Xbox 360
114,075 / 1,520,738

I'm expecting 50,000. Anything short of that and it really is a catastrophe.

 

[Man God]

I'm expecting 50,000. Anything short of that and it really is a catastrophe.

I don't know what with the shortages of the clearly superior Wi-Fi mod...ahahahahaha, I can't believe anyone buys that excuse.

 

[Averon]

I'm guessing 40,000 for Vita, give or take 2,000.

 

[pramath]

I'm guessing 40,000 for Vita, give or take 2,000.

That's 10,000 too low. You're predicting the hardware to drop like a rock. Granted, it already did so in its second week, but I am hoping the downward slope henceforth will be much gentler, and that the numbers for the second week were indicative of the Vita's general performance henceforth.
I mean, if it continues dropping at that rate, we're looking at it selling sub 360 numbers in a few weeks, and I think everyone will agree that's outright implausible.

 

[Mpl90]

When will the numbers come

200k to 70k over December is a big enough drop. I'm going to say right on 50k.

 

[allan-bh]

When will the numbers come

Maybe midnight as usual.

 

[pramath]

200k to 70k over December is a big enough drop. I'm going to say right on 50k.

Yep, that was my prediction too. Lower than 50k, and it is, if I can channel NuclearMuffin here, catastrophic.

 

[allan-bh]

Trust me, Vita sold less than 50k.

 

[Lupin3]

40-45k. Sounds resonable!

 

[Fantastical]

Man, fuck Media Create. They won't receive another cent of my hard earned money. Who's with me?

 

[Averon]

What's out there for Vita to justify it selling 50,000? I don't see anything. Quite frankly, Sony should be thankful if the Vita can keep its head above 25,000 a week.

 

[Mpl90]

Maybe midnight as usual.

No, in that case they would have said it. And at midnight, it would be 6th January. So, no, I can't believe that.

 

[Takao]

I don't know what with the shortages of the clearly superior Wi-Fi mod...ahahahahaha, I can't believe anyone buys that excuse.

But the valid reasoning of software availability and hardware costs in comparison to its nearest competition hasn't magically vanished this week.
