WTF @ RE:ORC charting at #2. This will probably send Capcom all the wrong messages.
March looks bad, but April is probably going to be even worse. There's hardly shit coming out this month. Kinect Star Wars will be in the top 3, and I wouldn't be surprised if Xenoblade actually charts.
Sony's not even trying to hide the bullshit. Vita must have sold horribly.

It probably won't, but a man can dream.

I'd imagine it's pretty bad. I really don't think there is a market for M rated 3DS games in NA.

Can't believe the Sony PR left that out. Vita - 1. PSP - 1. 3DS - 0 for games in the top 10.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Does anyone know the number RE5 debuted with?
There's no way Xenoblade charts, shipment are probably ridiculously low.

You did, but we all knew it was coming.

Vita version of said game probably not even in top 50 individual format chart (just a guess)

Resident Evil 5 (Capcom, Xbox 360) - 938K
Resident Evil 5 (Capcom, PS3) - 585K
RE6 should handily top these, I think.

Now I can see Tecmo asking Nintendo to let them borrow Samus as a hidden character for WiiU version.
What happens in two weeks ?

Not sure that would give a solid number for PSV or PS3.
Iwata's investor presentation generally has NPD graphs. (As well as ChartTrack for major Euro countries)

The industry is struggling isn't it?
Is it because of social media?
Free online games from Zynga?
99 cent games on iPad, iPhone, Android?
A new console generation is needed?
The games suck?
The economy sucks?

Operation Raccoon City isn't even an FPS. Lol.

I have a lot of confidence that the team could make the ultimate SSX game after the lessons they learned from this game. I really liked SSX 2012, but there were definitely flaws, and I would like the team to have another shot after hearing the criticisms.
Max Payne is $3 on the iPhone. We are all already dead.
Lots of graphs.
I think it is mostly new consoles are needed. The top selling console in the U.S is is now almost 6.5 years old.
There you go.

It's pretty odd that MLB is one of Sony's better selling franchises compared to some of its more hardcore games. Uncharted, God of War, and GT are probably the only ones that outdo it.

The running gag is that this really is Sony's official statement. Lately they're all like this, though last months 3 territories card monte was a gem.

"All of the above" is a reasonable answer here.
And, yes, the industry is struggling. Without question.

So after reading Sony's PR statement I can expect to get a cheap Vita in what, Sep/Oct?

Not surprised about Mass Effect 3, but ORC? Guess the marketing worked no?

Baseball is popular.
MLB The Show is only the baseball game worth buying.
Not really that odd.

I had a suspicion ORC wouldn't flop. With low sales of Revelations(Anyone who didn't buy this is too blame, especially the "I'm not buying it because it's on a handheld' crowd) and high sales of 5, ORC and fastest pre-ordered RE game yet makes it pretty convincing where RE's future will go. 
Capcom once again had the last laugh.

Party that both Capcom's big games will miss the targets?

Treat your consumers to yearly iterations, shoddy DLC policies and overpriced Digital Distribution games, and watch them find their entertainment elsewhere.
... I really don't know what to say... that Iraqi propaganda guy.jpg comes to mind.

Hmm, lower than I remember honestly. Depending on when the other big games come out compared to it, I could see it selling less than RE5 overall. It will likely debut higher though, especially since it gets an extra week or two over RE5.
Thankfully Vita is bombing so Nintendo will be happy to gloat about 3DS sales at least.
don't be silly. of course not.

It's crazy but EVERY single one of my friends buys MLB. They don't care about games like Uncharted or Killzone but will buy MLB, NHL, and Tiger every single year.
I mean "3DS and the DS family held XX% of the dedicated handheld market this month." That would at least give us Vita+PSP. Add in a solid number for Wii, and we have a max for PS3.
*looks at clock* Yeah, we're not getting Nintendo. Wii and 3DS must have dropped by a decent amount.
