Probably means nothing, but SM3DW is #3 at Amazon.co.jp

It should easily outsell PS3 due to lack of competition but overall home consoles will probably sell less.
So
PS4>PS3
PS4+Wii U + Xbone < Wii+PS3+X360
Yes i agree but the biggest reason we will see a contraction next to phones will be the loss of the Wii 's installbase.
Considering how much panicking there's been about it's Comgnet rating, this is at least something.
EDIT: It's above Lightning Returns now lol.
And now it's #1
It all depend on how the developer and publisher reacted to PS4 I think. Japan had rough start with Generation 7 that costed them many developer and make the market highly polarized. Just hope that there'll be games that ignited console market in Japan once more.
Yeah I just saw it. Hope it translates into something.
Well mobile is growing,
Commuter culture is big in Japan, no wonder mobile is popular. I don't know if people play with their cellphone openly in train, since I though it's kinda shunned thing to do. Need someone who lives there on this kind of thing.
Who cares? Girls und Panzer for Vita in Spring 2014! PAAAAAAAANZER VOOOOOOOOOOR! ^_^
Links, even in PM if possible.

People for sure play games on their commute. Its talking on a phone while on the train/bus is what you're not supposed to do.
It's bound to sell as there is nothing else out for Wii U. However it will be but a temporary bump and not the resurrection.
I think I could consider a performance like this to at least be successful overall, given the situation the platform is in.
That is assuming there is at least a moderate Wii U bump in tandem. If it's entirely selling to the existing audience that would be bad.
Any chance of Sony and Nintendo next handhelds being Android smartphones with exclusive content on top of that?
3ds is prtty populr, honestly.
and if a nintendo segment has being jeopardized, that's the home one.
and I imagine that, if sometimes they'll decide to drop the home consoles, their handheld could even increas in popularity
I don't think their next handheld will be as popular as the 3DS, just as 3DS isn't as popular as the DS. In fact, people in Japan are buying smartphones now and that doesn't shows any sign of stopping at all.
Even if they dropped their home consoles and sticked to handhelds, I don't think an exclusively gaming portable will sell well in the future.
For Nintendo, I suspect they will stay the course since the 3DS hasn't had a total collapse like the Wii U or Vita.
For Sony, the Vita is effectively a dead system in every region except Japan and it's not doing that hot in Japan either. The situation is untenable. They're either going to release an Android device with integrated controls or not release a handheld at all.
Here's what Shu last said on the matter:

So far we haven't seen any of that in the works and there's no reason to believe it will happen.
I'm curious as to whether Nintendo will eventually team up with a big name smartphone/tablet company,restructure to create there own(which would take a ton of work), or something when handhelds are not longer for them.
Sony is probably just going to push their phones harder.

So, when will we get an idea of how well the Vita TV has done?

BF4 and GTAV doing well. Good to see western games gaining traction.
Unless Nintendo sticks with the 3DS for a gigantic length of time I don't feel there's enough decline/incentive for them to consider a major strategy change yet.
If we're looking at a new handheld in 2-3 years, the amount of market change isn't likely to be catastrophic. Another 5-6 years beyond that however could be a very different story.

I doubt Nintendo would release a smartphone and Sony already has one it can build on they want to.I think it's more likely Nintendo will launch a handheld that supports all the indie friendly development tools from the start and try to make it as easy as possible to port smartphone and tablet games/apps to it.

Under Iwata there's a 0% chance of it happening. Under new management maybe there's a small chance.
In my opinion, adding smartphone tech is Nintendo's best chance at beating DS numbers, but it would also introduce a lot of additional hands taking away money from those sales, so not going that route makes sense to me too.
Under Sony there's a 0% chance they'll make another handheld that's not a smartphone. Obviously there's already a phone that happens to play games, but I think there's an ok chance they'll make a game device that happens to be a phone in a few years.

That's what they're expecting anyway, isn't it? 300k Vita, 200k PSP? I expect it in that ballpark too.
I'd really like to see this as well.
Seems like it. I would have guessed a higher number, but seeing the initial shipment is of "just" 500k for both SKUs combined, I'd say it'd be hard for the Vita version to surpass 300k on its first week.

What is Tsutaya?
Tsutaya is a major retailer with 1,444 retail stores (613 that sell new games) all across Japan.
What is Comgnet?
Comgnet is the website for the retailer "COMG!" that has 16 retail stores across one prefecture in Japan.
Why post these rankings?
They are released three days before Media Create + Famitsu + Dengeki give us nationwide sales, so we get a general indication of how well the games will perform relative to their competition.
How accurate is Tsutaya compared to nationwide retail tracking services?
It's large enough that it gives a very probable indication of future sales rankings, but it's not large enough to be definitive.
Famitsu: ~3,600 stores
Media Create + Dengeki: >3,000 stores
Tsutaya: 613 stores
Comgnet: 16 stores

I find it odd that this game would actually need a demo. It's not like the core gameplay is going to be any different from the mobile game.
It's the exact same
I thought it was a little different? Well, if anything, at least it will help people understand how the systems work without microtransactions.
Thanks for the answers.
I still think the Vita has a chance as a niche device in Japan (it was made as a device that can go down in price, like smartphones, am I right?). If we get at least some good games out of there, that's all that matters for me.
I'm sure Sony will be looking into some type of hybrid handheld (smartphone + exclusives) or abandon handhelds (which would be a shame).
Nintendo's the one who interests me the most though. Let's see what will happen in 3~4 years then.
Hasn't Sony already gone mobile for gaming already in a way? At least with their line of Xperia Play. Is that still being supported with new models? I haven't kept up with it, but I remember it being released like 2 years ago with added gamepad and game support. No idea how it's done. but it was released before the Vita.

Are we expecting Vita to be the best-selling hardware this week?
I'm under the impression that Vita TV sold really well. Famitsu will probably release something tomorrow.

That depends on:
How well MH4 bundle with normal 3DS did
Vita TV being counted together with normal Vita or not
I disagree
not about possible additional decrease for the portable gaming segment, but I don't see how the HUGE DS records shoudl be set not as incredible records, but as "average results to determine if doing or not another portable device". at all.
Btw: God eater will be very successfull, and will boost Vita sales even over the actual good stable numbers; Mario will flop due to lack of itnerest in Wii U, and this will give us a clear view of the difference between those two struggling system at least in Japan.

Aquamarine are you sure those Comgnet/Tsutaya points are based on data from this many shops ?
I remeber some talk that they might only represent online sales for both of them.
