Media Create Sales: Week 12, 2013 (Mar 18 - Mar 24)

You sir are crazy if you really think that.
Please, please, please just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.
Can you point to any source to say that development costs are lower on the 3DS as opposed to the Vita? All I can find about Vita development costs is that they are not too different from the PSP dev costs.
Please tell me you're not being serious right now. Even a Sony PR rep couldn't say that with a straight face.

I'm just using Garaph data, I don't have Dreamcast data, you'll have to ask someone like Chris, but I doubt it.

Gun to my head, I'd say they'd roll out the revision a couple months before, then maybe do special bundles if they felt like it (they don't need to). Either way, yeah. Carnage is definitely the right phrase.
Who says I have a straight face. But still, it's data.
Wow so in the last 4 weeks Vita did better than in the whole 12 weeks of last year. That's a significant jump.
I wonder if it can stabilise at 20k. 25k would be wishful thinking, I guess. At 20k it could even start being seen as a viable enough platform for a bigger franchise.

You're making a bit too much of an assumption to think one has to be paid to be a Sony PR rep.

August was the price cut month followed by the 3DS XL a year later, something might happen that month again.
i'm not crazy. pokemon red and green launched in february 1996.
I was talking about the "first real jump" line lol

Don't forget the back touchpad, that is basically 6 people since you would have 6 fingers on it.

That sounds like a winning ticket. I don't want to speak about Wii U stuff since I don't really follow the sales, but that 3DS is primed to be a powerhouse thread is as accurate as all get out. The software it's got prepped just screams like a massacre, sales wise.
i think the vita doing good numbers 3 weeks in a row is too much for some minds to handle.
there having a BSOD. lol

my god...
The 360 must have done really well in Japan, as that's what your argument indicates.
It's true I hate the 3DS, but in fairness, I hate everything.
I expected better points tbh. Maybe people are losing faith and subconsciously worry Vita is a significant threat to 3DS for third party picks. I mean it's getting some Wii ports too so I can understand.
It's very clear now it's not a dying platform by any means so I understand why some people are upset. Not that I expect Muramusa to do all that well next week but DC is different with the MP focus.

Lol. Just stop.

When a Media Create thread runs out of real sales talk, I'm glad there's stuff like this to keep the conversation flowing.

Does anyone think that part of Nintendo/Capcom relationship (am not a believer in the frankly mental moneyhatting idea) was an understanding that Nintendo would keep MH-Clones off the system? Did they ever have much sales impact?
Maybe, maybe not - just a thought I had the other day on the train.

A fight over PAL data would be great! Nice idea!
it's kinda hilarious to see how someone is trying to not admit that PSV had a god momentum since price drop and some game been released
I really want to know who you are refering to, because my point was about that I was surprised anyone was expecting a significant drop compared to last week knowing that this weeks releases especially with One Piece (a game that has been often mentioned to be one of the "bigger" PSV releases) and with 3-4 other releases actually has been considerably stronger. The holiday of course was a nice extra as well.

Clones don't hurt the sales of the top game in a genre, if anything they probably help to grow it.

Maybe. I just sort of wondered 'where are they'.

Noｔ even devs expected the jump and already had PSP/Vita projects?
metalslimer

Sony probably moneyhatted all of them for vita and i was easy because you can do cross psp games easy
Well god eater was psp game for a long time. Soul Sacrifice is 1st party. That Square game was out at launch, so they just wanted to get in the launch. What am i missing?
since when do we expect Nintendo to make the obvious, smart choice? Unless they are saving B1 it as some type of bonus for Bayonetta 2, it should already be out.

I think StreetsAhead is probably right, most of what has already come was already in development for psp/vita.
I think the only one that might be really hurt is God Eater, depending on how it does on psp will be the make or break for it.
Most of the others I think were never really that strong of brands in the first place so selling into the smaller hunting userbase the Vita has been trying to build probably won't have a real big impact on their sales.
I would expect to see some other games in the genre for 3ds by next year, at least announcements of them.
Ragnarok was also pretty early in the system life, upcoming their is Toukiden and Valhalla 3 (is this one a MH clone?)
It´s funny how some compare me to Skyzard. In this thread every claim or opinion I posted was followed by actual sales data and are based on facts and numbers, if not you are free to proof me wrong. Even the hated comparison with KIU was explained and some members agreed with me in this matter. It´s really odd how agressive the reactions towards this were only because some didn´t perceive the comparison to be favourably for SS. The sad and embarissing highlight was the namecalling after stating the simple fact that LM sold nearly 3 times more than SS first week. Calm down guys and stop beeing dismissive to arguments and facts and stop insulting other members only because they have a different opinion, especially if they are backed up with sales data.

haha Laguna are you for real? The whole semi-trolling and then playing the victimcard is getting old. I don't think people can be this daft, so you probably just get a kick out of riling the dudes up here. lol
Of course I´m serious. My first post in this thread was about how I was surprised that some expected a significant drop in PSV sales this week knowing that this weeks releases have been a lot stronger than last ones, especially One Piece was considered to be one of the "bigger" PSV games. And the reactions to it have been embarassingly hostile and void of any argument, instead sad attempts of ridiculing my point of view.
It's like a three way fight akin to Romance of the Three Kingdom but much more simplistic and dull. The winner from Sony and Nintendo fans killing themselves is Microsoft, well for the extremists anyway as their hatred for either outweighs their love when they make their 2nd console purchase.
Don't mind my gibberish, Japanese softwares am cry.
