This is free to play. I don't think anyone had any real hope for the boob game.
Yeah, didn't they stack the whole spring lineup with the expectation that MH4 was going to be there? Not sure how that's going to pan out for them now.

Oh and why did the 3DS drop so hard? Great Vita hardware numbers as we all agree.
Oh I definitely know it won't stay there for next week. I just wouldn't call this an increase either. So it just remained the same as last week so I said stabilizing.

Vita top of the charts wow.
I was close on SS though I really wanted it to do 140K+
dat WiiU sub 10K again though, Nintendo panic mode can kick in any day now.

you predicted a significant hw drop in a week with SS, Tales, days 4-11 of a price drop, and a heavily advertised SS hw bundle?
This sales are in line with my prediction in the other thread. PSV 60k and SS 130K.
92k+22k(*2)= 136k
Therefore it failed to make any impact. With this kind of sales 3rd parties won´t be impressed. Even Bravely Default, a game with near to no marketing budget, sold more.
But to make some of you happy. "It sold amazing for Vitas standards".

Capcom should release an SS clone on Vita
They have one more week coming up with solid releases- March 20- and then it's largely back to Wii U levels.

Vita spike continues! It'll level out soon naturally, but the note someone said about selling its YTD in two weeks is hilarity.. And sad
And the other is an otaku game
Soul Sacrifice should have a bit of better legs considering it's a new IP.
Very good opening for Soul Sacrifice, 92k copies in the regular edition and 44k copies in the double pack (22k sold, but there are two copies in each pack). Then there is probably a few thousand in digital download sales on top of that. So around 140k maybe?
possibly, for me, getting the digital version of SS would make sense because of its heavy online gameplay

Alright c'mon guys only 10.5 million units to go.
Good on Vita though, hopefully it can keep some momentum going. Once things level out I would hope it can maintain 15-20k weekly.

With a 3k difference between both?
Wut, Vita has already outsold the 3DS one week before. It was the week before the pricedrop
WiiU yes, 3DS lols
This would possibly be more hilarious than when they turned Lost Planet into Dead Space.
The impact of SS was even greater than I thought. Still I didn't expect Vita to overthrow the 3DS for the #1 spot. Great job Vita!
Now I hope the same goes for the West, but I think they'll only drop the price when more dudebro games come out like Killzone.
looks like this increase is short-lived, however

Am I the only one to think those Vita numbers are a bit underwhelming ? I mean, sure, those numbers sounds good... But the console price droped last week + it had 2 new bundles/colors + Soul Sacrifice, aka the biggest game on Vita for Japan this year.
Do you know what you're even saying?

I wasn't convinced SS would sell that well beyond Vita's existing userbase, and thought that most of whatever pent-up demand there was for the hardware would be reflected in last week's numbers. *shrug*
Wut, Vita has already outsold the 3DS one week before. It was the week before the pricedrop
Why?
Vita is holding decently for a second week, it'll be fun to see how long the charade can last before it collapses again. Unless Sony has some killer announcements real soon that is.
Soul Sacrifice did about as well as it can given how unappealing and dead the Vita platform is honestly. For an IP of this sort, in a normal healthy platform, I think the reasonable expectation would have been 250-300k for the launch to be considered a solid success in Japan, but as it is, I guess it's not too bad.
Tales of Heart R proves once again that the only people in Japan still buying the terrible looking ports and spinoffs and whatever in the series are likely the same handful of really hardcore fans which number about 50k. The audience for proper Tales games is much larger, but it's interesting to see there are even 50k of these super hardcore people who literally buy anything from the franchise.
Metal Gear Rising looks to eventually break 400k, but it probably won't make it to 500k. The question is whether it can sell out the initial shipment (I think it was 450k or something?), otherwise it's going to be really cheap in Japan really soon. Still, great sales for the title regardless.
Layton 6 is looking to struggle to ever get to 300k, which is really bad for the series. Decline, decline, decline, decline. Time to shake things up. The next game should feature Luke as a professor wandering the world solving mysteries by talking to animals! YES!!!

The not-that-good sales last week after the price drop/new color/PSO2/SK threw me off.
Personally I'm happy that it's doing well for now but it's by no means impressive by general standards. I hope it keeps going but I did expect a bit more of a bump - it begs the question how long these numbers will stay if it was only kept slightly on par with last week's numbers.
Animal Crossing still refuses to die.

The 3DS's biggest debut this week was Doraemon @ 12,000~ copies.
SS is and probably will remain one of the biggest titles for Vita this year. A year which includes Pokemon mainline games and Monster Hunter on it's competition.
Good on them on 'winning' this week, but battles do not win wars.

From the other thread
Because it's one SKU. That SKU sold 22k copies.
Vita's HW numbers are great, no way you can spin it without sounding like a troll.
SS numbers are so so, let's see if it has any legs to get up to 300-400k. From what I gather, general impressions have been pretty good.
Indeed.

Wouldn't be surprised if we hear from Sony soon about how SS sold over 150k in it's opening week.
Also, I expect the Vita hardware numbers to half (or worse) next week.
That's an exceedingly good point. This is around when MH4 was originally intended for release.
I am glad the Vita has jumped up as it is a nice bit of hardware. The question is, will it stay this way? I don't see it. It doesn't have the compelling software to carry it through the year while the 3DS has Monster Hunter and Pokémon, among others, as the year continues.
So it's 92k + 22k + 22k ?
WiiU the new Vita confirmed?
