Link or it didn't happen. They definitely didn't launch that much in the US.

Didn't know that Suikoden PSP game was released. How is it like? Is it like the DS game or is it like a traditional Suikoden game?
Hope it gets localized...
...still waiting for Suikoden 2 PSN! *angry face*

New Love Plus made the 100,000 club already right?
Which is why I said, "They definitely didn't launch that much in the US".
Anywho, I checked and it is 25 for the GBA launch list. But I can't remember how many launch titles for the Vita were delayed. I'd like to see something on that too.
Wouldn't the girl slap him in the face because of that, thus leading to a game over?
I don't even think it'll do 100k in the first week. I think it'll be just a bit lower ( 80k maximum ), but it could have legs since it's being released so early in the lifespan of the console...and since also the first one had legs. Not in the same way, obviously
[NDS] Love Plus (Konami) - 47.854 / 244.730 / 19,55% 03/09/09
In fact, it's true that Love Plus + has been much more frontloaded, but it's possible this happened due to being an expansion and not a true sequel, IMHO.
Citation needed.

It did close to 70K LTD, didn't it?

If I'm understanding things correctly, an inside source told nikkei a certain publisher was moving their Vita projects to the 3DS. So it's a little more than a speculation piece but much less than some sort of official mass exodus.

I expect Love Plus to be above 100k. Its first week is longer than usual and while I don't want to stereotype the audience for this type of game too much, I still expect at least 100k of them to be very dedicated.

Ah ok, thanks
I remember that quote now that you mentioned it.The date mpl90 listed earlier for Love Plus DS was on a Monday, one more day than Love Plus 3DS will have. But all those limited editions might do something.

It's about as legit as the Nikkei News opinion piece on Monster Hunter Vita. Bizzarely though that thread didn't get locked.
It's a bit FUDish, but does it honestly seem unlikely to you?
Ignis Fatuus
Banned
More legit, because this is actually Nikkei and not Nikkei Trendy.
The part about the moved projects was not opinion, if I'm reading that thread correctly.

Why was that thread locked exactly?
DCharlie
And even i am moderately surprised
from this ?
does it? I've read the quote again and i'm still convinced it's talking about the -complete cancelation- of a single game rather than -the cancelation of everything-.
"subete" can be an awkward beast , as can inference of multiples from words like "geemu" - but it still reads like the cancelation of a single game to me . And i freely admit that my i'm not fluent and may well have it ass backwards

No, it's a Thursday. And that was the first game anyway. The franchise grew since then.

According to my Windows calendar, 9th March 2009 was a Monday. I assume that the date was listed after american format? If it is by european format, then it was a Wedensday.
I'm not really doubting that a Vita game got canceled. I'm doubting some major exodus.
As for MH, I don't care about the franchise anymore. I think the damage has been done, and the only way it could be undone is for a hypothetical MH on Vita to be a complete revolution for the franchise, but given this is Capcom I doubt such a thing is possible. When Vita finds its pulse it won't be Monster Hunter getting the heart pumping.

You're right, it was a Wedensday.
Are you saying you don't care about MH simply because it's not exclusive to Vita?

Any idea what the sell thru rate of Gravity Rush was?
Well, there can't be an exodus if there wasn't much in the pipeline to begin with.
You need to look at what's before the subete. That big publisher's game development for Vita that was in progress was completely canceled and moved to 3DS. All of it. The only way game could be singular here is if the publisher only had one game developed for Vita in the first place.

Then that article is really huge and should be reposted.

Nice strawman.
Does the article actually say "all Japanese publishers"?
No, my interest in the franchise would be the same even if it were exclusive to Vita. Which is to say almost non-existent. I don't particularly enjoy playing MH games, and in fact said so earlier in this thread. I've tried them multiple times, and they're really not for me. I look at them as a curiosity because of their success, not because I'm a fan.
My comment was in regards to the impact an MH on Vita would have. Given Tri G is already on 3DS, and with 4 already announced that puts a Vita iteration at a bad standing for MH to be a system seller. The only way I can see the damage from the 3DS iterations being dulled out is if the franchise took a revolutionary turn.
I wonder who it is then? Scamco, SEGA, Square, and Konami all have publicly announced stuff yet to be released... I answered my own question.

If that thread was locked because DCharlie misrepresented himself as a Japanese speaker then that looks pretty ugly right about now.

Level-5! Secret RPG betrayalaton.
Because it was a repeat of another thread about the same topic that was not locked and made it to ten pages before it died off.
Nah, I think Hino's going to stick it through. I think Level-5 isn't too pleased they missed the PSP in its prime.
I think it's Capcom. The only thing they have on the publicly known slate is a fighting game port we haven't heard of in months other than the odd mention in the exclusive character reveal trailers.
DCharlie
And even i am moderately surprised
Yup- that's was incorrect, i was going off what the tweet that started all this said :
from Feitclub :
"As Vita debuts overseas, Nikkei reports Japanese publishers are canceling games for the young system, switching to 3DS"
haha lol - okay, you go ahead and put it back up and go with -you guys- take on what it is and what it's saying and how important it is . Run with it!
hell, one suggestion was that Nintendos stock price was rising because of the article
oh, and remember - this is effectively a source reporting a source who had a Big Publisher source. No one named. <sprks> INDUSTRY SOURCES </sprks>
lol - ironically, i'm giving training today ... in Japanese. I'm going to get boo'ed and pelted with fruit from start to finish aren't I? The ultimate irony would be if the subject matter was related to Nikkei, but alas - not this time.
Capcom canceled Street Fighter X Tekken and moved it to 3DS?
You heard it here first, folks.
It's believable

That publisher in the Nikkei article might be SCEJ? Just kidding hehe
Ok. Then Love Plus has one more days of sales, and as you mentioned, the serie is now known and not a new IP like it was back in the DS days.
I dont think that Capcom will cancel all their stuff for a platform.
Isnt the game out in less than a month?
Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 was Vita's totally illogical test.
Which thread? The Nikkei article is from last night (US time).
DCharlie said:
Which is silly, because Sony's share price increased by about the same amount.
Capcom has never announced when the Vita version will be released.

Since we are back to that article, who is the author of that piece?
Looks like it's the VP of IDGA Japan, he is no random journalist, I'm sure.

Better than expected. Good enough for some follow up announcement "soon". I guess it's either a sequel or an anime - quite possibly both.
