yikes.
It's kinda disturbing how we hardly ever see Vita software charting.
Wii U save us!
What software?It's kinda disturbing how we hardly ever see Vita software charting.

Will Wii Sports Resort scrape past a million before the release of the Wii U? Before the end of the year? Not at all?
Delightful to see Harvest Moon still chugging away in the high teens.

What software?
It definitely seems extremely beneficial to be the first to launch a new home console.
Imagine if Nintendo wouldn't take forever to announce western release dates. That would make me happier.
As long as Nintendo get the launch software right Wii U should do really well out the gate.
This to me is far more dangerous than the disappointing hardware sales. Without good 3rd party software sales now 2013+ games will not be green lit.
It definitely seems extremely beneficial to be the first to launch a new home console right now.
<stump> (HW sales) Vita has had 16 weeks worse than the PSP's worst week, and only 7 weeks better than the PSP's worst week*
<stump> The best-selling game on Vita in Japan is equal to the 175th best-selling game on PSP in Japan
<stump> The second best selling game on Vita in Japan is equal to the 250th best-selling game on PSP in Japan
* excluding 2012 sales; the PSP's worst week during its actual effective lifetime.
To compound the many many woes of Vita's market performance is the not-quite-as-publicized fact that the PSP market is quickly on its way to falling off the face of the earth.
Japan plays the weirdest games.
Those Persona 2 EP sales aren't good news for Soul Hackers at all. I think we might be seeing the divide between the shrinking group of old-school faithful Atlus fans, and those who only care for the newer generation of Persona.

The original release of Wii Sports Resort sold > 1.9 million in Japan (using data from summer 2010). The version currently being tracked is the bundle with the Wii Remote Plus released in late 2010 (and might include pack in with wii consoles). WSR total is approaching 3 million in Japan.

Are Persona 2 EP's sales really all that surprising? They are a little lower than I would have expected, but I think it was foreseeable. It's not only released on a system that's about to fade out of the market, but it's also a direct sequel to Persona 2: IS. In other words: It was unlikely from the beginning that many people who didn't buy Persona 2: IS would pick up EP, but at the same time it's more than likely that many people who bought IS don't want to buy EP for various reasons; because they didn't like EP, because they don't want to play another game of its style already or simply because they prefer to wait for P4 Golden.
Regardless of any reason, I think a follow up release selling 1/3 of what the previous release did in the first week is a very bad sign, and is definitely surprising. A lot of of those reasons apply to pretty much any sequel, but we definitely don't expect them to drop this drastically, especially for a known brand. Oreimo 2 is the #1 game this week, and it dropped less than 50% from the first game. It's also on the PSP.
You're incorrect in saying that P2 EP is a direct sequel though. It's actually a stand alone game which is the "other side" of IS. You can play either IS or EP without playing the other and you won't really miss out on that much. Timeline-wise they're more like alternate realities than exact sequels.
It can't really chart with such a low install base. The system could have an attach rate of 8 right now and we wouldn't necessarily know it.
Well ok, it probably isn't that good.
