My parents still bring up to this day the fact that I destroyed my original snes after my first rage quit
Or, they do this, lose a ton more money, and it still dosen't work.
They better have good reason to think that won't happen before they go down that road.

107k for Lollipop Chainsaw? Better than what I feared.

Well that does explain a thing or 2 lol. Still i just thought it was interesting to think about how much certain franchises have sold this gen. I'd love to see a tally of the big franchises.

Commercials about it are still being aired here. Its truly a killer app and evergreen. That said, its also being bundled.
I can see Mario Kart 7 ending up with some crazy numbers as well. One of those killer apps is exactly what the Vita so desperately needs.

Estimates:
Call of Duty 4 - 13 million
Call of Duty: World at War - 11 million
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - 22 million
Call of Duty: Black Ops - 25 million
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - ?
Super Mario Galaxy - 10.68 million
Mario Kart Wii - 31.91 million
New Super Mario Bros. Wii - 25.47 million
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 6.72 million
Super Mario 3D Land - 6 million
Mario Kart 7 - 5 million
I can't find Modern Warefare 3 worldwide sales at this point, but this gives you an idea how the series sell. Keep in mind those are just the big Mario games.

That doesn't even take into account the fact that Mario games are cheaper to make and probably have a much smaller marketing budget. If you're discussing which one has made more money (i.e. profit), it's a no brainer.
he's looking at the last 5 years for each franchise.

Real happy for Lollipop Chainsaw. I haven't picked it up, but I plan to when I get Persona 4 and KH3D in the coming weeks.
Edit: Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn at PSVita numbers. Bad for people who actually want to play the system, but great for me when I can pick up a Vita and all the worthwhile games for $200 or less in the coming years.

I guess PS360 gamers don't have a good feel for just how much Mario, Pokemon, and Wii ___ games sell, because they don't pay attention to the Nintendo side of the industry.
I haven't actually needed to buy a Wii, but what exactly IS the current SKU set-up?
I've seen Kart, I've seen new Super Mario and I've seen Wii Sports/Resort.

No new PSV game passed 50k, R>G
70k < PSV < 1/2 3DS
70k < PSV < 1/2 3DS
So was Nintendo's math lazy or did the PSP have some crazy upswing this month into high 20k range???

Poor Gravity Rush.
Edit: moving the game from PS3 to Vita seems to be a really a really bad move now......

I would assume it means Resistance > Gravity Rush.
But that's just an assumption and not a statement of fact.

It's ~20K, give or take.

Gravity Rush would have had a hard time as a retail game on the PS3, I think; the art style is pretty out there and it's not a game that you can really sum up in a few words to a regular person. I think it would have had the chance of being a very successful digital release, though.

Resistance outselling Gravity Rush is totally expected, it's an established franchise (albeit not all that great selling) compared to a new franchise with zero advertising at all from SCEA, oh like basically anything else involving the Vita. Sad but totally expected.
I'm guessing MGS qHD Collection did worse than G?
~20k sounds about right for PSP, I think

They projected 6 million for the PS3 in it's first year but only hit 3 million. They can lower their projection at any time for the Vita.
Vita owners have shit taste confirmed

~25k sounds about right for PSP, I think
MGS was pretty limited in its store presence outside of Gamestop, so I could see that being the case. It's also doesn't help that they are games that its fanbase have already purchased last year, in addition with another game, for the same price that it's going for. It's definitely not MGS3D-levels of greed, but Konami should have known better.

Ive been around for every nintendo launch and the same thing was happening with the gameboy and nes
Happens with every nintendo system, and then nintendo usually serves up crow.
6m was the first forecast before they knew how the product would be actually received by the market.
And they did 3.5m.
For the next year they knew they had the price cut to 399$ and forecasted 10m units.
They actualy did 9.1m.
http://scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps3_sale_e.html
But they knew they had a price cut coming.
Same thing for Vita, they know they have something coming up for Q4, and it's not just AC and COD.
Also Vita's forecast is a forecast to stay in the market, not something they can afford to miss by a big margin.

Not bad for Lolipop, but I'm still waiting for that $20 price point.

Unsurprising that Gravity Rush bombed, but still a damn shame.
Resistance debuting <50K is yet another blow (after RE:R, U:GA, and U13) to the notion of a vast, untapped audience for handheld dudebro games. The real test will come when Liberation and Declassified ship, though.

50k is what you can expect for a good title on a 500-600k installed base. Nothing more nothing less.
At this stage software sales are completely bounded by the installed base.

Uh this would take some hefty 360 legs into next gen.
Oh I forgot this was an NPD thread for a second. You meant in the US only. Certainly possible

Looking at Tokyo Jungle, I think it would of done pretty well in Japan (Gravity Rush did well for Vita over in Japan actually, but the small userbase made its potential/growth small). Over here, surely more then 50k would of picked it up from the large PS3 userbase. So, I'm not saying it would of been a hit on PS3; but it probably would of done better then this.
