Media Create Sales: Week 50, 2011 (Dec 12 - Dec 18)


Sorry, Chris. But people want to talk. =P

 

[Atcha]

Wow

Wtf is happenning with the PsVita ?

 

[milanbaros]

I think there is a small but growing possibility that the PSV could Gamecube.

 

[Mpl90]

Let's do this.

APOCALYPTIC SCENARIO!!!!!!!

 

[sixteen-bit]

I think there is a small but growing possibility that the PSV could Gamecube.

Isn't it early to be making that kind of prediction?

 

[weeaboo]

Damn, where are the PSV titles? :\

 

[mugurumakensei]

once again, it is a holiday of nintendomination.

 

[Alrus]

3DS second week at the begining for march : 209k. Those are some horrible numbers for the Vita

Also Musou Orochi 2 did much better than I expected. I really thought people would get fed up with the insane amount of Musou games coming out.

Edit: PSP second week in december 2004: 85k.

 

[idlewild_]

Not sure why Sony thought it was a good idea to pump out a bunch of 3g/wifi units over the wifi standalones, guess they really misread the market. Maybe they'll be able to correct the ship a bit and get more wifi only ones out there...if it's not already too late. No (known) games on the horizon to really prop it up either, going to be a long 2012 for the Vita.

 

[butter_stick]

It's all over for Sony. Expect Uncharted on Android devices in 2013.

 

[Rolf NB]

Yowch @ Vita hardware.

edit: and software lol.

 

[Madrugador]

Wow at PSV, just WOW. Never expected this.

 

[Phonomezer]

I was under the impression that Vita was going to "destroy" the 3DS.

No stopping Mario Kart!

lol

 

[mugurumakensei]

It's all over for Sony. Expect Uncharted on Android devices in 2013.

nah iOS.

 

[slaughterking]

Sucks to see the Vita's lukewarm reception, but I'm not surprised. It'll have a really, really rough first year at the very least and who knows how the western launch goes.

 

[Wazzim]

3rd party in 3, 2, 1...



New MH in 2012 or bust for the PSV.


Bust it is.

 

[milanbaros]

Isn't it early to be making that kind of prediction?

Very. But Japan was the only successful territory (HW and SW) for the PSP and the PSV has started badly. The western buzz seems almost non existant.

 

[walking fiend]

Digital Sales

PSP+PSV still not bad honestly

 

[ace3skoot]

PSP > Vita ?

 

[Jinfash]

VITA, ARE YOU OK?

POST IF YOU ARE OK!

 

[Yamauchi]

Wow @ Vita hardware numbers.

 

[butter_stick]

Digital Sales



PSP+PSV still not bad honestly

PSP Family :bow

 

[thestopsign]

I told you so.

 

[M-PG71C]

I knew the Vita had no chance going against the "trinity" of 3DS software (MK/SM3D/MHTG) but I thought considering it is the holiday season, a 150K-200K week was reasonable.

I was very wrong. Considering the 3DS's second week was 200K, I thought it would be natural for the Vita to follow course. It touched 70K. It hasn't sold out of its launch shipment. :/ I really doubt its constraints on the Wi-Fi model which there is no news reports out there to suggest that. Sony needs to announce some shit, stat.

 

[Wazzim]

VITA, ARE YOU OK?

POST IF YOU ARE OK!

Thousands of lurkers are trying to register the 'VITA' username right now.

Will not post until being allowed to post one year later, VITA am doom.

 

[watershed]

Well if its tracking close to the psp launch maybe that's not so bad.

 

[Phonomezer]

PSP+PSV still not bad honestly

Are we really going there?

Well if its tracking close to the psp launch maybe that's not so bad.

3DS was tracking close to the DS launch and it was DOOM AND GLOOM.

 

[duckroll]

Vita sales won't really pick up until there is a significant release on it. One that Japan actually still cares about, and is exclusive, and can move units. Right now the only remote candidate is... Persona 4... an enhanced PS2 port. Not looking great.

 

[scytheavatar]

Don't worry, everyone knows Sony is being supply constrained......

 

[ElFly]

Well, MH3G should sell its million shipment this week, or the next week tops. Then there's the 1,200,000 mark for the capcom estimated sales.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

3DS has insane software and great price. Vita doesn't have ANY system sellers and high price. Even worst, they mostly shipped 3G models. Writing was on the wall, but I didn't expect this kind of a drop. Awful.

 

[Celine]

So Vita "well under 100K" indeed ;-)

PSP > Vita ?

What ?

 

[Neuromancer]

| 3DS | 482,200

| PSV | 72,479

Jesus

 

[Shiggy]

Life is doomed.

 

[TheOddOne]

Are we really going there?

This made me laugh for no reason. Good one.

 

[Alrus]

Are we really going there?

It's a sarcastic post me thinks.

 

[Infinite Justice]

[Barack Lesnar]

There's no need to beat around the bush. Coming from someone who wanted the Vita and its so much better hardware/tech to 'beat' the 3DS (as lame as that sounds), this thing is dead in Japan. If Sony would have secured MH4 we could at least hold on to that for the future but they didn't. It's done in Japan. Only thing that could save it is a huge price drop of like $50-100 but that's not gonna happen.

 

[Mrbob]

Vita might be in for a rough stretch. Wonder what Sony will do. Will they sit on the device and do nothing like they did with the PSP and the PS3?

Also, are those MH sales good or bad? I mean going towards a million is always good, but it is the only one of a few games in the top 20 (other than fading franchises like FF and Inazuma) that went down week over week on the biggest shopping week of the season.

 

[Pureauthor]

Predicting a poor Vita launch was hardly surprising when you looked at the launch lineup.

Not this poor, however. Yikes.

 

[Keio]

This is a repeat of the DS vs PSP, it seems. And even I was sure that this time Nintendo would be toppled.

 

[Smellycat]

Ouch at the PSV hardware + software.

Wow at the 3DS hardware + software. It would be amazing if Mario Kart DS charted in the top 30.

 

[freddy]

Early days but right now Vita is taking water.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Inazuma Eleven Strikers 2012 Xtreme will outsell Ninokuni Ps3.... haha, this getting ridiculous.

 

[miksar]

At least 3DS had Layton at launch.

 

[kswiston]

Vita sales won't really pick up until there is a significant release on it. One that Japan actually still cares about, and is exclusive, and can move units. Right now the only remote candidate is... Persona 4... an enhanced PS2 port. Not looking great.

Vita will probably have a rough first year, but it isn't unreasonable to think that some major (second half) 2012 titles are still unannounced. Sony is never going to be the handheld market leader, but they should at least aim to recapture some of the niches that the PSP had in Japan.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Seems like XIII-2 will replicate Type-0 numbers.

Let's do this.

APOCALYPTIC SCENARIO!!!!!!!

 

[Paracelsus]

So I guess the only thing they can do at this point is pull the plug on hardware numbers in Japan.

 

[jeremy1456]

This is a repeat of the DS vs PSP, it seems. And even I was sure that this time Nintendo would be toppled.

Why were people predicting Vita to be the victor?

Even if it had MH exclusive this still doesn't make any sense.

 

[Cfuentes]

3DS it's a monster. MK7 rising to heaven. Ouch at Vita.

But, Where the fuck is my skyward sword??? Why Japan.... WHY???!!!!
