Until the next big release (Persona 4, I assume?), I think Sony need to take every week that it's above 10k as a positive.
Given the graphical style of Theatrhythm... can I propose "Paper Mario: Maestro"

Great numbers for New Love Plus and Binary Domain.
Theatrhythm was supply-constrained, so I expect it'll do well over the next few weeks and end up selling great.
Tekken bombed, but maybe it deserved to since the reviews were kind of negative.
Good People Die didn't do that well either, but it's interesting that the split was only 60/40.
RE Revelaitons is holding up decently.

I'd say you should go lower - maybe 5000.
That said, in between now and Persona 4, at least two games should sell at least 20k:
3/29 Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2012 (Konami)
4/26 Ciel Nosurge (Gust)
.....that's it.

Rhythm Thief finally fell off :'(
3DS + Love Plus = BOOM!
Poor Vita, nothing I see coming out soon is going to boost those numbers.

Bold prediction time:
3DS will hit 6,000,000 before Vita hits 700,000.

Wow, Tekken sales are terrible. At least Resident Evil is still hanging it in there. New Love Plus is number one, which was obvious. Let's see how next week is for 3DS. Good to see it hit the 5 Million Mark.
As for Vita, it drops, and so does Gravity Rush. The 999 sequel sells more on 3DS than Vita.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Too bad GPD didn't do well in Japan. But then again 999 didn't do well either. It's all up to us yanks to ensure its success!
You must have missed last week's chart, since Sumioni debuted there at position #42.
Media Create Sales: Week 6, 2012 (Feb 06 - Feb 12)
42./00. [PSV] Sumioni: Demon Arts <ACT> (Acquire) {2012.02.09} (¥5.229)
LOL
No surprises this week.
Great LovePlus and Theatrhythm numbers, reasonable Binary Domain performance, Good People Die's numbers on par with 999's, and Tekken tanking.
It'll be close.

I don't see the PSV going lower than the Wii in the near future, although I could well be wrong.
(On which note: Just Dance Wii's legs are remarkable. Best third-party legs I've seen in quite some time for something that's not Monster Hunter. That said: isn't the Wii version the *only* version in Japan? Why's it called Just Dance Wii, then? It seems redundant)
3DS software on average debuts higher and actually sells systems. The majority of people buying Vita games every week seem to be people who already own the system.
Why would you exclude bigger titles when comparin about 3rd party software performance ? If you compare just niche titles which arent expected to sell more than 10-20k, even the xbox 360 would probably have sold on the same level as the ps3 or ps2 for such games.
Here's an interesting question though: Which will happen first, PSV > 360 LTD or 3DS over PS3 LTD?
edit: Actually, never mind, that's too easy
Just like 999 I'm thinking Good People Die will sell better in the US than it did in Japan. Who would have predicted that of an ADV in the past? No one! Times are changing.
3DS still in beast mode. Everything else HW wise is meh to bad. I think this is going to be a very tough period in Japan for the Vita for at least the first half of 2012. There's simply too much competition from the 3DS and even the PSP and that situation is not likely to change anytime soon.

I'm curious to know what Panic Sony would be like, actually. We've never really seen it.
Maybe the two things are related?

Before they hit panic button we will see them repeating strategy from PS3 in 2008
First they will bundle memory card then after numbers drop they will start releasing bundles with game and probably alongside it many different colors.
not bold , just insane
The vita should hit 700k in the next 3-4 weeks. while the 3ds would have to suddenly start selling 250k+ per weekedit/ Just realized vita is at 578k thought it was 678k
nvm it will happen frankie_baby

Bold prediction? I'd say that's more an inevitability, a real bold prediction would be 3ds at 7million before vita at 700k, I think I might have made that prediction the other week
Not even when PS3 was under performing and Activision threatened to drop support, unless they dropped the price?

10 Free PSP Go Games?
Maybe we've started to see it already with that rebate programme.
With the choices they make they don't leave themselves a lot of options for panic mode.
not bold , just insane
Think Vita is going to triple its current sale pace for no reason? Maybe 6 weeks it'll hit 600k.

You see vita selling 40k a week? What the fuck have you been smoking? Think we might have a new burnt pork on our hands here
Does what it's been doing count as surviving? I wouldn't say so.

considering the big gap of userbase, Vita 999 sequel didn't seem to do that bad... right..?
Didn't this happen with their earlier DS titles too?

Ninja Gaiden PSV
Reality Fighters PSV

It's not like it's a mainstream game though.

T3D is the fourth release (counting arcade, BR, and PSP) of the game; not surprising it's picking up the leftover scraps from before.
Guessing GPD bombing much like 999 did is due to the relatively higher supply of quality ADVs in Japan.

I think he may have just misread things. His argument makes sense if you think he read a '6' at the start of the PSVs LTD numbers rather than a '5'.
Surviving in the same way that machine that goes 'BIP' in hospitals means before it goes 'BEEEEEEEEEEP'.
Stop me if I get too technical.
