That doesn't mean they won't try and put it on there anyway. Sony is not a company of "should."
Probably not, but I'm sure they wish it was the case. Though I'm guessing they won't say no to some PS3 sales to tide them over until the 9th, where they announce that you get a free grizzly bear with every Vita purchase.

While i'm sure as i mentioned on the other thread the idea must have crossed sonys mind killing psp could just as easily boost 3ds not vita

Great for One Piece and a decent second week for Harvest Moon; rest of chart is just 3DS cackling at the incompetent journalists/analysts from last year calling 3DS a flop.
Speaking of Vita though - PSP does well in Japan. Surely Sony should count its losses and look to compete with PSP more. Certainly still sells better than Vita, and a proper new model (I mean one that actually 'gets better' ergo - no the PSP Go Sony) would do alright.
Other than all that? Not much of interest.

For real? That's very interesting
And hooray for Theaterhythm. Now to just see if it will have enough legs to get SE to consider bringing it over to EU and NA
Short of a surprise FFVII remake release available for download right on Friday night, it's not going to save PS Vita from dipping below 10k in the next few weeks, I think.
Should Sony be throwing moneyhats around to try to MH-ify it on Vita?
That said, I don't really seeing it having the same sort of legs as those titles.
?
I think the game will continue to sell for a while. Bad user reviews won't be read by most of One Pieces incredibly wide demographic I think.

After Hokuto no Ken Musou sales people should expect OP Musou would have done good .
Still it sold more than i thought it would, then again this is OP we talking about it just makes money .
Sony needs to get some software for the Vita going .

Sell trough must have been pretty amazing for One Piece Musou. Maybe it really could pull a million as this is not XIII-2 situation (600k first week sales against 850k first week shipment).

Darn One Piece destroyed Naruto Shippuden in just one week. Hope it makes it out of JPN to actually hit one million. Games from Jump certainly do splendidly, how many golden ps3s?

Spooked? I'm pretty sure most of them probably ran for the hills weeks ago
Terrible reviews?
As a OP fan who likes musou (aka, the target audience), the game seems pretty great to me outside the unstable framerate.
It's definitely way better than hokuto musou.
If you're gonna compare the launch of the games, then I guess you should just compare the first "week". But if you're simply gonna say it's the nth best selling game, then you have to include all copies sold. Considering the price of each unit sold would be something else entirely.
Sell-through is apparently over 90%. The first shipment was 650k, then they shipped up to about 700k by the weekend.
I disagree with this completely. The product One Piece Musou has outsold all other PS3 products aside from Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, and Metal Gear Solid 4. Gran Turismo 5, Gran Turismo 5 Spec II, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III are different products released at different times.

I know that I have a weird sense of humor, but those numbers are comical beyond belief. I'm literally laughing at them. What is happen, you people did this to me.

Damn Vita, that tough motherfucker will not go down! Good on it!
Really now? It seems to be having trouble staying afloat in my eyes.

Are we looking at the same numbers?

I think anything above 10k is now considered good.
I agree about different versions, though. Including them is something else completely different from just including the same game being sold for an unknown price.
Until next week! Then 9k is the number to beat!

I think that's a terrible idea. PSP is making money for Sony on each hardware sold and it's still Y15000 over there.
What they need to do is get their heads out of their asses and realize that the vita is heading into the biggest bomba in recent history in Japan. Sony execs, including Yoshida (one of the most level headed guys in the industry), need to stop being in denial and realize the problem here. As I said in another thread, even with their financial woes, Sony has deep pockets and they need to use it to save the Vita in Japan. Getting a main game from DQ, MH, and FF exclusively on their system is imperative. FFX and MHP3 ports are not gonna do anything to change the downward spiral, which btw, doesn't look to be changing any time soon when you look at the release schedule.
EDIT: PS3 will probably be over 8 million within the next 2-3 weeks. One Piece has the chance of being the 2nd PS3 game to sell over a million. Will depend on sales next week.

Now Sony must be on Panic Mode. I hope that we'll get some MEGATON this Friday...

It might go to limbo instead of purgatory but that's as good as it gets. Most likely, it will continue to trend downward til golden week.
Phenomenal use of Molly, there.

It's like 10K is some mystical number it's not like theirs all of 24 units separating it as from being below it. At this point it may as well be considered as bad as being below 10k, it's really just a technicality.

- Big PS3 jump
- PS2 laying the smack down on 360 again.
- Vita continues decline, nothing in Top 20.
- Wii is weak. DQX shoulda been developed for PS3 instead.
- 3DS continues kicking butt

You realize that 'rise to heaven' can have two, very different meanings, right...?

Dat Vita...
Then in that case, One Piece Musou is still the 4th best selling PS3 game of all time in Japan right now.
Hot Shots Golf 5 probably *just* sold over 655k by Media Create numbers, but we don't actually know since the last LTD sighting on the charts was 20k (which would not bring it over One Piece Musou).
The Wii still sells big franchise software. Just look at Rhythm Tengoku
Tomorrow!

correct about everything
Sony should just announce a Monster Hunter game for Vita, even if there isn't one. Just because.

I did not consider that.
It's falling fairly rapidly, but I think there's a good chance it'll bumble along outside the charts for a fair old while. I wouldn't say we can state it without any doubt, but I wouldn't put it past it happening.
