If WiiU could get a game like SS, I think hardware sales would be much better.
No offense to DragonSworne, but the guy has said a few strange things in the past.
Monster Hunter Tri-G HD Version?
It didnt really sell well. Overall, almost noone did. Just look at the chart. Major drops everywhere. Its a slow week.

Luigi's Mansion next week. Should crack 500K.
Yeah I think with Soul Sacrifice "out of the way" so to speak, Sony should really have no reservations with showing their hand for the rest of 2013 now. If they have anything, it would help build confidence in the future of the platform. If they don't have anything, then well... erm... yeah.
Next week there are Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix (PS3) and Super Robot Taisen UX (3DS). This one has a bundle too. And SAO for PSP.
On 20th, One Piece: KM2 (PS3 especially) and Luigi's Mansion 2.

If Soul Sacrifice has legs like Demon's Souls (release was ~35K, ended up selling ~180K before re releases IIRC) then it'll be extremely successful IP. However, if that were to happen, how long before Marvelous and Inafune pull a FROM and Myiasaki and release a Souls Survivor or something on the 3DS?
What does these two games have to do with SS?
I can make out your Aizen smirk just as you were typing this.
I look forward to Vita Heaven 3, which recaps already announced games.

I think going from 8k a week to 60K a week is well.

So Tales of Heart R pretty much matches Tales of Innocence R. The tales fans who own PSV retains parity.
Soul Sacrifice has a good opening. Matches what most people thought its sales would be like. Time to see what kinds of legs it will have.
The bundle, a big release, and a medium release allowed Vita to match last week's numbers.
Now that the big releases have dropped and price drop is in effect, we see what numbers the Vita will stabilize to.

[PS3] Dynasty Warriors 7 (Koei Tecmo) {2011.03.10} - 67.475 / 320.565 (-73%)
Dynasty Warriors 8 is underperforming notably.
[3DS] Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney <ADV> (Level 5) {2012.11.29} (¥5.980) - 29.271 / 158.127 (-77%)
Professor Layton and the Legacy of Civilization A sales are exactly on par with Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney, really bad for this latest installment. It may struggle to reach 300.000 units.
Wow, that was a huge drop, there are around 85.000 units left from the first shipment.

They can, it would be harder though and not sure they will bother.
Pain and tears, mostly.

Not without third party support.
I spoke too soon! At least one new title already.

Otaku market on lockdown.
. Last week bestseller on Vita compared to this week bestseller? Mayhaps?
Good question. What happened to the Jump game?
That was last week. And thats not well, its better.
good name for a JRPG
Both games seems to have sold through their first shipment, that is good news.
Those 2 games are in their second week with the price cut, could be an indicator of what SS does, but I highly doubt that.

As I posted in last week's MC: There is currently not one notable Vita exclusive announced for Japan for the remainder of 2013. The closest thing to an exception is Valhalla Knights 3, neither of whose predecessors broke 100K on PSP.
Two weeks above 60K is great, no question, but it'll be amazing if it stabilizes at even 15K/week given the release list.

Or if Sony kept dropping the price.

Props to the Vita on taking the lead. Good showing for SS on a platform as unhealthy as the Vita.
A very slight dip in the week to week 3DS sales may suggest that there could be an overlap between 3DS owners and PSV owners; people who've only got the 3DS are now taking the opportunity in buying into the PSV platform with the price drop + bundles, and others who've got neither are still on the 3DS wagon.
Things will be back to normal next week. Let it have its moment for now.

Do you really think they can? I'm not saying this in a combative way or anything, I'm actually interested in hearing a plausible scenario where Sony is able to turn the Vita around worldwide in a way where it is a healthy and viable platform for both developers and publishers. I feel it is so hard, especially with the market it is today and the competition it faces, that it is virtually impossible. Anything which could have a chance of creating such a turn around would be stuff beyond Sony's control. What do you think they could do?
Thanks guys!
Man, One Piece KM2 will do crazy numbers again - just saw it received 37/40 for the PS3 version and 36/40 for the Vita version from Famitsu. Go Luffy!
They're vita games duh!
