Dat Luigi!! Amazing, like donny said it probably will reach 1m or be very close to it (I'm thinking DKCR close).
One piece on the other hand, will barely be able to sell that 500k.
Damn, and here I thought 15k would be the new baseline. 14k is not that far off, but i can only see it go down from here.
This time of the year is not too busy, so I expect the hardware drops. They will all have a varying boost during GW and then go back to their expected ranges most likely. 3DS at 60k, Vita and Wii U to the coffin, etc.

Vita <15k = Ouch! =/
Holy shit, what a stupid commentary.

Luigi continuing to claim the year as his own I see.
What the fuck at all those hardware drops though?

I'm sure some will make the shortages excuse, but it's pretty apparent that the Vita price cut is a failure, though it did result in a longer respite than I had initially expected. Ironically, it'll probably go down in gaming history as having shortened the platform's lifespan, as it'll make it harder for Hirai and Yoshida to justify keeping it around.
Waiting for golden week? Maybe they are some sort of sales on that week
Luigi went up in Famitsu. Dem download cards?
Beast mode!
It's down YoY in every territory now, isn't it?
Ridiculous though the 'year of Luigi' stuff is, I was specifically referring to the hashtags.
Not too different from you opening up a champagne bottle when Vita sells above 25k
Except... it's spammed more, okay yeah.
Luigi is likeable I guess!
Edit:
Oops ignore this post then.
Animal Crossing seems to be slowing down considerably.

Most definitely. Luigi's Mansion 2 has been difficult to find at retail... in North America at least.
It would have to be up YTD for the remainder of the year, so probably not.

Not before May at least- historically next week will be almost flat with this one and week after that will be up due to GW boost.
Celebrate the 'Year of Luigi'. Everyone is welcome!

haven't really been following, but wasn't Soul Sacrifice suppose to be the next big thing? Seems to have done decently for new ip... but yeah.
Well it already sold like 460K already so I think they're happy with that.

Agreed.

Because they're both coming off of brief rises. Because their drops are proportionally larger. Because they're both relatively new platforms. Because prior to their brief rises they were both selling very poorly. Enough reasons for you?
Hashtags or the luigi stuff?
Edit: Didn't see that you had answered. Hashtags are obnoxious.
"year of Luigi" that sounds like some porn you found on "pastebin"...
not going to celebrate that.. nope-.

Stop hatin', man... lol
It's a great game and deserves it. Bitterness will get you nowhere.

Animal Crossing seems to be slowing down considerably.
Of course, because everyone is preparing for the inevitable Wii U version to come out.

I was thinking this myself, an (unsuccessful) price drop has shortened its life.

I'm not sure about mainland Europe, but pretty much. At least there are some bigger titles lined up for the latter half of the year than last year so maybe the 3DS will catch some respite.
Depends on how the next batch of software props the system up. They can't afford to have another lacklustre holiday period.

Yeah im sure they're beginning the wait for the next 2 years
My copy arrived today; I'm off on holiday in a couple of weeks, I'll be saving it for then.
Genuinely think LM has the potential to be a million-seller now. Wonder if there's an eShop component to the sales figures we're not seeing, too, although it probably won't be huge.
No. It was essentially Vita's last hope though. The only option they have left is a redesign, but even then it's pretty clear it's screwed from a software standpoint.

Oh wasn't Vita supposed to drop below 10k before end of March ?
Yes.
It was supposed to be Vita's Monster Hunter... it was supposed to be Vita's savior in Japan.
Supposed is the key word.

Those few hundred Xbox 360 buyers need to get playing 360 games. Gotta hit that million hours on XBLA!

So I was right about Vita, well kinda, I predicted 13k.
Next week: 11k?

This is the weird one. Its heading to levels not seen since 2011
Oh did you read his post?
New color and new bundle release tomorrow in Japan, also the biggest game last week was just a card game
People make excuses both ways. Doesn't change the facts. Vita is the best hardware handheld on the market and it ain't selling worth a poop in any territory.
