Really excited to see how Kid Icarus' comeback does when it is released next week


Not next week, March 22

And the week after that the mega Kingdom Hearts week.

Did the Japanese suddenly stop buying fighting games?
Soul Calibur V did horrible, Tekken 3DS blew up and Street Fighter X Tekken doesn't exactly look good. Where all these games bad or what's happening?

Not too bad for Theatrhythm. I hope it continues to sell for a while. And Vita is UP! It's future is now secured.

Hey, we could have adjustments to knock it down 20 units. 

Then we return to d00m :P

It'll have to knock it down 41 units... then it's run to the hills!

Hey hey, don't even go there. I don't know if people could survive it

 

The real issue is the lack of SW. After all, there's only 1 PSV title in the top 10, compared to 10 for 3DS. That's half the charts! Heck, the 360 has 1 and the Wii has 2 (I believe), and that's the real problem.

Vita is more for the western audience guys come on



Everyday I'm hustlin'.

I agree that the problem is games (the problem and solution is always gamez)

But Vita's release schedule for a long time is nothing to get excited for (japan-saleswise)

The problem is the quality of these games.

You almost conviced me until I saw that One Piece is still on top.

Exactly, the whole Vita heaven thing was supposed to relieve these issues (and announce Monster Hunter, no?), but it didn't really announce any mega-hitters which will sustain sales for more than a couple weeks.

The 3DS already has plenty of big hitters, and has a number more coming in MH4, Kingdom Hearts 3D and Kid Icarus, to help sales, in the forthcoming months.

No. No way they would do that on a web "conference". But Captivate is next month, and it's probably the last chance for vita to get MH before TGS.

And if MH4 for 3DS is released by holiday 2012, then TGS is too late for vita to announce something, imo. But I really believe that announcement will come on Captivate - it makes zero sense if Sony is not paying one Gajillion Yen for capcom to do it.
