thanks guys, can't wait

Vita selling tragically bad in december is a given - what will be interesting is sales in February/March when it actually has proper release schedule without few weeks game droughts like it had this year.

 

[BowieZ]

edit lol, famitsu numbers of course

 

[grimshawish]

Is this old? From Famitsu:

# 1
3DS
Animal Crossing
# 2
3DS
Inazuma Eleven GO2 Chrono Stone
# 3
PS3
Yakuza 5

No that must be new.

We already know the Vita is going to do a pitiful number.

Far more interesting is how well the Wii U does. I'm interested in what people think a respectable number for it is? >100k? >200k?

I don't know how much it sold, but I know how the discussion will be:

<200k: "bu bu bu it's sold-out" vs. "Nintendo is doomed"
>200k: "Nintendo you're so amazing pls have my babies" vs "bu bu bu only NSMBU/MH3U/NL are selling"

Sir, that's last week XD

Whatever happens were just getting measurements of the size of Pacman's tongue.

Sir, that's last week XD

MC/Fam having different ranks can be confusing lol

Damn you, Download Cards!

Setting aside Vita and Wii U, what would be "good" numbers for the other platforms?

Why would SS be somehow the most preordered game? Its a new game with no marketing as of yet. If there was hype about the game we'd already be seeing that in Vita sales.

Let's see what the marketing is like over the next three months.
That is what will decide its success.

Success is relative I suppose, but come March the Vita will likely still only have an installed base of ~1.2M. (If even that)

It would need a relatively high attach rate to even reach 200K.

If you look from 10 feet away, you won't see Sony numbers in the pie.

 

[Exterminieren]

Most importantly of all, this is when I win my bet with Heavy mine and Heavy's bet is decided.

 

[sphinx]

I read people claiming Vita has a bright first half of 2013.

With soul sacrifice delayed, what is it there for Vita in Q1 that could realistically help sell the hardware in Japan?

(the answer to that is probably to be found several times somewhere in GAF threads but I fail to find the exact software people are talking about)

EDIT: damn, somehow I thought the delay was past Q1, I stand corrected... but that's one game, if people think Q1/2 look good for Vita, that can't be the only reason.

 

[michaelius]

Soul Sacrifice is delayed to March from this december

When is that Jump superstar project launching again?
That one has a lot of potential imo.

You will have won the easiest bet ever.

 

[liger05]

The PS3 version could kill the vita one.

 

[Vinnk]

That one has a lot of potential imo.

By itself no. But get a few games of that level launching a month and then you have something.

 

[sphinx]

The PS3 version could kill the vita one.

could? it absolutely will

any PS3/PSV dual release will nullify any impact on Vita hardware.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

The PS3 version could kill the vita one.

Yeah, easily, unless Sony slashes Vit'as price by then; in that case Jump superstar may perform decently on Vita, as I gather it's a game that should sell well on handhelds - perhaps because of local multi-player -, seeing how previous iteration on NDS turned out to be a big seller.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Has Sony not noticed that PS3/PSV dual releases don't help the Vita much?

 

[michaelius]

could? it absolutely will

any PS3/PSV dual release will nullify any impact on Vita hardware.

In country where handhelds outsell stationary consoles 4:1 ?

 

[ffdgh]

The ps3 is selling better than the vita tho.

When the Vita starts outselling the PS3 4:1...

...and has a way larger userbase, still 3DS has already caught up with its LTD sales.

wiiu 120k, let the doom predictions commence.

 

[GCX]

WiiU and Vita doomed, 3DS rise to heaven, etc.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Poor Wii A.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

O: Animal Crossing is an ANIMAL!

 

[BriBri]

wiiu 120k, let the doom predictions commence.

I'll use another D word (disappointing).
Great 3DS. Good PSP. Disappointing Wii U and terrible Vita.

Holy hell at everything.

AC @ 2.1M in Famitsu.

 

[urfe]

WiiU not amazing... shame.

3DS and Animal Crossing amazing... wow.

No Layton vs. AA... that was fast.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Wii U matches very favorably to Wii's first three weeks, though not the bump for equivalent calendar week.

Definitely not pulling a Vita, though.
