Actually, according to Famitsu, Luigi had a sell-through higher than 75% so the shipment was lower.

You have to ask Chris for this because he was the one who posted this 500k figure.

Regardless, it is pretty obvious that when software actually releases the Vita is well and alive. The market is there and willing to buy.
Now it really just depends on whether Sony actually cares and actually tries to position the Vita as a viable platform for 3rd parties.
500k is from the usual credible source. The way I read it looks like initial shipment. After today's results I guess he meant LTD in the end.
結構な量出荷されたみたいで消化もかなり良好、いずれハーフミリオンは確定と言ってよいのでは。

Thanks for the clarification...I'll take your word for it though haha
Seems like a good prediction for minimum sales.
Agreed. Like many other systems before it, the Vita would be fine if lots of games were released for it. They just... have to actually be released.
It's interesting to see Nintendo fans fighting this, because this exact logic was ascribed to the Wii. It sold decently in Japan... but would have sold considerably more if major publishers in Japan would have put their big games on the system, as Nintendo fans frequently -- and correctly -- pointed out.
The same principles should apply to the Vita, too; if the games are there, the system will sell.
I thought PSO2 is free to play? Or are you Anihawking?
I think that if Sony is able to market the advantages of GE for the Vita over PSP, it could sell a decent bit. The PSP crowd is going to eat it up regardless but its the Vita crowd that Sony wants.

I don't agree completely. Even Xbox 360 and GameCube had their weekly boost when games were released. This week had four games, for a total of almost 100k units of software sold; being a console with a low userbase, it is more affected by the release of software. It's not even selling like 60k units per week.
Anyway, actually Wii sold incredibly well in the first years (beating PS2 also). It just faded quickly in 2009 onwards.

As I said before, Sony would be smart to have a GE2 Vita bundle as well as some exclusive Vita bosses/levels/whatever the hell.
This is really a strange generalization. Who exactly denied that if a system gets support a system will do fine? Most members and sales-agers seem to agree that software sells hardware. It really is kind of funny to call out a certain fanbase, especially when the majority in fact actually supports this argument (software sells hardware).
yeah but it only sold 70k. if lm2 was free it probably would have had 2m downloads because that's how big a failure the vita is.
edit: not that i'm saying the vita is a failure. just pointing out how interesting it is how two games with multiplayer compare.
Yes, I can certainly see your point.
But what about Calciobit? Soccer is the biggest sport in the world and it has to be played by multiple people and this game barely sold 40k units.
That points the 3DS as the bigger failure imo.
anecdotal but, from the LP'ers i follow i've noticed a good amount of space still devoted to them. recorded 23rd/24th: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DnkAH2mXuc
seems to be a larger game shop, but an impressive amount of space for a game released so long ago.
Please mods, end our suffering.
Dude, stop please.
You should leave
LM2 has the same or likely less selling power than the One Piece port.
Seems like Vita overtaking 3DS weekly sales eventually isn't out of the question, even in Japan.

Please. What´s your problem. This are Famitsus first week numbers.
300k to 105k
01./00. [3DS] Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon <ACT> (Nintendo) {2013.03.20} (¥4.800) - 301.080 / NEW
02./00. [PSV] Soul Sacrifice # <ACT> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2013.03.07} (¥5.980) - 105.863 / NEW
Funny how you didn´t have a problem with the other troll posts (about CalcioBit from Spiegel and PS01 from Anihawk)
Tell me,are you actually enjoying this?
I don't understand what any of this has to do with my post.
Because we all know you are being quite serious.
Come on,
this has nothing to do with numbers - yes, LM2 did sell more than SS, but it's clear that you have an annoying agenda
Come on, this was just a response and a joke to the posts from Anihawk and Spiegel. You didn´t seem to have a problem with their posts.
Before, during or after Tomodachi Collection, Monster Hunter 4 and Pokemon X & Y?
AniHawk has the tag warning.
Soon as the revision + price drop + main game trio comes along I bet. Seems like 3DS might have peaked.

Idiocy begets idiocy. You're being just as childish as the posts you're trying so desperately to shame.
At least I´m not begging the mods to ban anyone only because I have a problem with a different opinion.
Yes there is.
Click their user profile.
There's some text that says "Add user to ignore list"
It's my fav feature for ignoring constant thread-shitters who show up in every thread.

I don't think that will happen, but it's interesting that since the price cut Vita has consistently outsold the 3DS LL. Both are about the same price and have similar screen sizes, so we can view the LL as the Vita's primary competition.
When has a Nintendo handheld ever peaked prior to Pokemon?

There's a difference between having a different opinion and still post with class such as Father_Brain and schuelma and straight up trolling which is what 99% of your posts are.
You can ignore, but you can still see that he posted and you can still see what he posted once people quote him. The ignore feature on neogaf is not that useful IMO.
Hey no need for the name calling. He may be a troll but he still deserves some respect.
The new pink and blue original colours probably took away a few thousand LL sales (as well as the Vita taking away a few too).
