Can any calculations be done on the numbers we got (calculated) last week to get a rough idea of just how bad the sales are this week?

Well, calculated sales of Unchy Golden Abyss at launch were around 25K (if I remember correctly!!!), so this week could be around 7.5K
Just rough numbers, no "true" here. At all.
No clue about SSX and MarioParty.
Very, very poor.
The Uncharted number could be as low as 5000.

Not quite. UC:GA sold at least 26k last week but there was no upper boundary defined, it could have very well been closer to 50k than 25k.
All we were really able to say is that UC was minimum 26k last week so it would be at least 7.5k this week.
Can't be lower than 7.5k. Not that it makes a huge difference.
Wow at Vita's domination in French top 5!
All things being considered, Vita may have been performing better in France than in U.K. and Germany, but we'll never know for sure unless actual numbers for each country are disclosed.
I'm curious how the next week will compare. In the 3rd week, the 3DS had no titles in the Top 40. Since there arent many upcoming Vita games in the near future, i guess we will see something similar (not next week though).
France:
Week 8, 2012 - Individual Console Formats (Units)
01 (NE) [PSV] Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Sony Computer Ent.)
02 (NE) [PSV] Fifa Football (Electronic Arts)
03 (NE) [3DS] Mario et Sonic aux Jeux Olympiques de Londres 2012 (Sega)
04 (NE) [PSV] Rayman Origins (Ubisoft)
05 (NE) [PSV] Wipeout 2048 (Sony Computer Ent.)
Apparently Vita sold short of 250,000 units in Europe on launch week (roughly half PSP's number). 42k in France.
Source is lefigaro.fr, relayed here but the original is for suscribers only.
Sony could clear it all up as there press release did not. 250,000 seems too low!
Isn't that the same article from the week 8 thread? I didn't see a source for the figures, which makes me suspicious.That would mean that it sold around 400k in the US in february. Guess we'll figure out soon.

Vita software not doomed?
US + rest of world (Latin America, Asia etc)
That wouldn't be too unreasonable imo.

As an example of what's going around, Joystiq linked to a VentureBeat article which cited Statista (PARTNERED WITH DOW JONES!) who put VG Chärtz data into a graph that all the others then printed. Purportedly showed global first week sales for all these different handhelds, including the Vita.

That's a fair point, but still not a proof. Perhaps someone could ask them the original source of the data, just to clear it up?lefigaro isn't usually too far from reality, but yeah, they don't cite their source. They clearly didn't use ******** tho as these guys have the vita at 65k for week 1 in France.
The 3DS did 330k, so 250k for Vita seems reasonable in comparison i think.Sony could clear it all up as there press release did not. 250,000 seems too low!
1 week lag for reported numbers from France. It's week 8.Dafuq is this sorcery ?

Those aren't chartz numbers... or at least if they are, they're not the chartz numbers that chartz released.i think you are quoting fake numbers from vgchartzzzzzzz . The actual numbers could be higher or same
11 (13) [3DS] Super Mario 3d Land (Nintendo)
22 (30) [3DS] Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo)
more successful than most if not all 3d titles but less than 2d marioIt has been 3 months since both games were released, and I never thought that it was possible for SM3DL to keep up with MK7. In fact, in the latest weeks SM3DL has been outselling MK7.
What was the consensus sales-wise for the Mario platform title before its release?
I think that times have changed, especially after the huge success of the DS and the Wii. And also with the increased popularity of the smartphones and tablets. But i'm not surprised if the Vita did 250k in Europe in its first days. Seems reasonable to me looking at the 3DS numbers.Yes, but usually in western market Sony platforms debuted better than Nintendo platform, so considering also the price (3ds was 250 at launch) to me should not be so "strong" for the new "hitech" Sony release.
Success comes over the long term, not the short term. As Sony themselves once said:Doing 250k and costing that much more than the 3DS has to be considered a success.
Impressive to see Sony faring so well in Europe with a much more expensive handheld considering the economic environment there.
Doing 250k and costing that much more than the 3DS has to be considered a success.
But the 3DS launched @ the same price and if im reading right did 300k in its first weekend in Europe.
Back calculating UC:GA gives us its debut range at between ~33.8K to ~48.2K.
At 31% of launch software sales that would put total PSV launch week software at between ~109K to ~159K.
Launch retail tie ratio somewhere between 2-3 assuming the 50K hardware number is accurate.
Calculation error obviously huge.
Oh I see, my mistake - read all the numbers as minimums for some reason.That's not right "<" means "less than", which means that FIFA PSV sold between 0 and 9.8k. Thus for UC:GA the chart only shows that it sold between 0 and 14k this week (but as we estimated lower end of 26k last week we can say it sold at least 7.5k this week). Anyway, we should get more accurate estimates for it this week or next hopefully.
