Yeah 35k is pretty decent i think
2nd week drop rate has very little to do with being a good result or not. If a game sells 100k in its first week, or uses 10 weeks to sell 100k, it is the final result that matters. Technically it is best to sell all copies at day 1, because then you get the money in quicker.

You would call it great? 36k is pretty good concidering what Vita used to sell. It shows that the market is interested in the system.I wouldn't call it decent but its not unexpected.
if Vita Maintain 30+k as baseline.. then this will be very encouraging for the platform.. Although baseline could only be achieved after 7 - 8 weeks of the price drop..
So next week it can drop again too..
Media Create has Wii U at 9.5, I wouldn't go crying doom yet.
Besides, we know it'll be like this until it has software. With Game & Wario around the corner, then Pokémon Scramble U in Golden Week (it has a retail presence), I predict it'll be up around 30k for a while
What software are people expecting that will help the PSVita maintain a 30k average?
well one piece came out this week, so Vita sales will go up next week
I can see a one week spike at the end of March to 30k or so, but I see nothing to prop it up above 10k after that.
You under-estimate the appeal of Pokémon Scramble. That series is one of the most popular Pokémon spin-off game series. It was one of the first 3DS games to hit 1,000,000 and the Wii one stayed at the top of Wii download charts for years.
This one, while downloadable, has a retail presence with stores selling download cards. It WILL have an impact
Anecdotal of course, but my local place was completely sold out of Vita units. There were still copies of One Piece Musou 2 for the PS3, but I grabbed the last Vita copy.
Plenty of Super Robot Wars, and they finally got a Sword Art Online restock. Very curious as to how the latter sells.
EDIT: Plenty of copies of Luigi's Mansion too.
