I wouldn't be surprised if it was under or over by about 30k. So 40k-100k.

10k seems "OMG DOOMED," there's no way it could do that badly.

 

[Takao]

Vita is just going to sell 1 unit in the entirety of March guys. I feel it.

You're assuming they'll still be selling it in March.

 

[Takao]

PSPgo was burned off months after Sony stopped shipping them bro.

 

[Gaborn]

Since a couple of people made predictions I'll say I expect 35k for the Vita, give or take 10k. 45k would be borderline "healthy" (low but sustainable) 25k would be bad.

 

[Kandinsky]

In the end, it all depends if theres still WiFi shortages, it might even sell more then last week based on that.

Isn't this week usually slower than the last? That'd be a small coup if they pull that off.

There are no WiFi shortages.

Yeah, this must be the reason why Vita is selling so low.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I can't wait for the meltdowns that will happen if Vita is lower than last week

Why wouldn't it be though? It seems like some are just looking for the reaction now.

There are lots of shortages. Of demand.

 

[allan-bh]

This would be my guess for the next few months.

I just don't understand why someone would seriously consider 10k sales in it's third week on the market.

40K every week? Seriously? 3DS did around 20k.

I really see Vita doing around 10k soon.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

40K every week? Seriously? 3DS did around 20k.

Indeed. If Vita is pulling 40k a week at the current price, with the current lineup, in the post-holiday months Sony will be fucking ecstatic.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I Believe in the Vita.™

When Sony is ashes, Vita has my permission to die.

 

[iceatcs]

I could see it will first reach under 10K by Feb, or even in Jan might be possible too.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Weren't Week 52 sales supposed to release today?

The shortages card, good times.

 

[Fantastical]

I believe they will be released in 9 hours because of the holidays.

 

[Kenka]

At this point, going on posting in this thread without fresh news to bring with is ridiculous.

But... but....

Bwahaha, this made me chuckle. Ziiiing!

Seriously though, by all rights this week should be a smaller number for just about everything. 50k give or take would be in line with expectations given last week's numbers.

 

[donny2112]

30-40K would be reasonable if this weren't December. Third week in December with second week @ 72K makes > 50K seem a must. *shrugs*

At the rate this thread is growing, this will be the new record holder for largest thread. Delayed numbers pushing more posts into the earlier thread is how the Golden Week 2007 thread got so big, too, IIRC.

What's the previous record? Has any Media Create thread ever reached over 2,000?

Either way, if Vita starts maintaining a status quo, and 3DS rules the charts with the occasional PS3/PSP/PSV title I quickly expect the threads to be <300 posts again, because nothing will be shocking anymore, just like when Wii/DS dominated. These mega threads are happening thanks in part to 3DS turning around and Vita coming off slow.

Makes me miss the 2005 threads, honestly.

Here's something relevant posted earlier in this very thread (edit, ah, posted by the same guy you were chatting to, so he'll probably be snapping back with a much more precise answer anyway):

Through the Dec 5-11 thread.

Looks like it hit that target in mid-'07 (edit: which is probably the aforementioned Golden Week).

Woah, it's climbing and gaining momentum, looks like a great investment when are we taking sales age to the stock market?

 

[TheNatural]

So are the Vita sales so abnormally low that they went to double and triple check the numbers, which is why they haven't come out yet?

 

[pramath]

So when are the numbers coming?

When you compare it to the current iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch Gaming Thread, it is clear that Media Create is doomed.

Sell sell sell!

 

[BurntPork]

It will sell 29,980.

Nah, they're just amazed at how Skyward Sword stormed back up the charts, claiming half a million sales this week and sitting pretty atop the charts.

Spoiler

Dreaming can be fun.

Sooooooon (repeating post from earlier in this page):

The site will update again at Jan 5, 2012 (Japan time)
http://www.4gamer.net/

but it seems they will not post the latest sales chart in midnight this time

It is now almost 7am in Japan on the 5th.

They didn't give a precise hour, I take it?

 

[DECK'ARD]

This might be the last set of numbers before it's discontinued, so we should make the most of them and have as many graphs as possible.

A pie-chart as well, preferably like Pac-Man.

 

[duckroll]

4Gamer already said they won't be updating Media Create numbers until at least 3pm in Japan. That's 9 8 hours away.

 

[DECK'ARD]

9 HOURS!

Oh the humanity.

 

[electroplankton]

4Gamer already said they won't be updating Media Create numbers until at least 3pm in Japan. That's 9 hours away.

So... when are the numbers out exactly?

Spoiler

ah

 

[Fantastical]

Actually, I think it's 8 hours away, isn't it?

 

[duckroll]

Actually, I think it's 8 hours away, isn't it?

Yes. But it could come after 3pm! No guarantees.

 

[[Nintex]]

Is that before or after the game informer reveal?

 

[TheNatural]

Yes. But it could come after 3pm! No guarantees.

Damnit, I needed some entertainment today. I guess I'll actually go play a game instead of talking about them, psh.

it's the Game informer Reveal " Playstation Wii Blu Ray Add on, called Ps Vita 2 "

or..
maybe not

It's about 11 hours before the time I expect the Game Informer reveal.

Ok, so for people in the PST time zone, we may potentially get them tonight, then.

The funny thing is that the week after this has been the first time PS3 went below 10k.

Haha.

My guess is around 45k.

 

[Mpl90]

I think about 50k. 30k would be just plain bad, while 50k would be bad, but not an irreversible apocalyptic scenario.
