PS3 Super Slim will come with a price drop, though I don't know if it'll be a 10000Y price drop. I honestly think Sony (and MS) are waiting for WiiU's proper reveal, including date and price, before they announced their fall price drops and redesigns (if applicable).
And Sony can't drop the PSP price now unless they wanna finish killing off the vita.
PS3 has ToX2, RE6, Yakuza 5, HSG6, Blops2, Dark Souls Complete Edition, a couple of HD collection games, DOA5, Sleeping Dogs, WE2013, AC3
Vita has AC Liberation and COD by Nihilistic

3DS and NSMB2 didn't drop too much
Miku tomorrow for Vita.
You're so close to it by this point that you might as well wait for TGS.
Not sure why there would be a hardware sales spike for two franchises that have had a strong presence on the system already.
There isn't much of anything in the lineup that would appeal to someone who hasn't been interested in the franchsies/genres that have previously been released.
Edit: In other words, the lineup for the rest of the year doesn't bring much new to the table.
Miku comes out for Vita this week
They are going to kill the Vita (if that's even possible at this point) either way if they drop the PS3 price.
I largely agree with Spiegel. I'm not sure that I'd call the PS3 a "dying" system, but it's at least a system on the way out. Marginal increases in sales from a PS3 price cut will deflate the already perilously low Vita. It's possible Sony doesn't consider the Vita an important part of their future, however.
There's probably some internal conflict over that. I could see why SCEE and SCEJ would want to support the Vita, and SCEA wouldn't.
PS3 of 2012 is PSP of 2011.
Thanks!

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Nintendo better start hitting up Arashi big time!
PSP 2012 is GBA 2007.

I have a feeling NSMB2 will be similar to how people reacted when Super Mario Galaxy 2 was released but on a larger scale. It underperforms initially but holds lower end legs and thanks in part to the timing of its release it is still relevant software this holiday and benefits from the other major software this winter. It will end up with a surprisingly higher number than most would have initially thought after revising predictions after first few weeks.
The flaw here would be if New Super Mario Bros U kills any momentum of NSMB2. It also doesn't help that NSMB2 is pretty much being labeled as a mediocre game.

It's fun but short. Coin Rush is great ... until you get the high score you want and stop playing because it only let's you store one high score (outside of StreetPass challenges), so once you get a good one, there's not much point in playing outside of grinding to 1 million coins.

The same day as Girl's Mode. Nintendo won't let Vita catch a breath. And Animal Crossing in November.

How can you kill that which has no life?
Actually, inconsistency in the video game market in nothing new.

This might be a blessing for us Mario fans... Hopefully Nintendo will finally drop their fucking stupid ass NSMB series and come up with a new Mario 2D series.
Excuse me, I mean fans who are tired of the rehash NSMB shit that they are starting to do. NSMB wii was pretty good.

That line is going to be used for ever!! Too many people dont want to accept that the Vita is on life support.

Cute, but I don't see SH pulling SJ numbers (90k first week).
Maybe something around 75k? :/ I don't know.

Hopefully Nintendo gets the message after this and they ditch the NSMB series and do a massive graphic/art direction revamp.
I'm down for this actually. 3D Land is one of my all time favorite Mario games

There's no way the real numbers will pan out like that, right?
Tune in next week for another exciting episode of *insert witty title involving sales*!
The new Project Diva game should sell more than the 3DS spinoff at least, even if the preorders are lower. That's what I expect, at least.

Comgnet comparisons can get a little dicey when it crosses platforms.
Will have to wait and see.
Again, why would they ditch a 2D marios series (that will heavily outsell 3D Land anyway) for a 3D one?
Who knows? Vita isn't that healthy, so Diva f probably won't do that much better than Mirai.
Miku will have short legs from now on?
Ew.

More people are waiting for the PS3 version of Diva f than initially expected.
don't forget about the last guardian and final fantasy versus xiii.

The NSMB hate is so overblown. I also doubt nintendo will come away with this message. Either way the series will likely be on a small hiatus for awhile until a new system is released. NSMBU graphically/artstyle and gameplay looks great and has been in development for 3 years. NSMB2 was pretty uninspired and lazy but fun and had a really quick development time. NSMBU is a title with a lot of effort put behind it meanwhile NSMB2 was a quick cash in.
i had a feeling dqx would always sell at least 500k in japan. it's one of those numbers that would be absurdly high for an mmo on a dead system. and if square enix could keep about 20% of those people as subscribers, they'd be sitting pretty. the ability to play for free doesn't hurt though, i'm sure.
i think we'll see another 2d mario this gen. they just blew their load waaaaaaay too early. except this will have sprites or be cel-shaded like the kirby thing they abandoned or the wario game good-feel made.
Oh boy, so the streams might finally cross next week.

Wow, it would fall below Dreamcast in the next few weeks were it not for the inevitable Miku bump.
