Persona 4, that hatsune Miku game and the white colour
"lots of boost coming to Vita"

LOL, it seems he doesnt even know what Miku is about, but sure it will skyrocket Vitas sales XD.
I like how he even believes what he says xD

Well, the Holiday in Japan (for sales of products) has gotten really popular in Japan recently. I think it should get a healthy jump. Truthfully, though, I'm not sure on exact numbers. VGC is not really working with me to look back at Holiday Numbers for past games in the series. (As we all know it's gone down-hill in ease of use for searching past sales.)

But, it only sold 290K(?) in Japan. It already passed it. Right? (That's what VGC says.)

Even if the VGC database was still good, you wouldn't find any FE numbers for the holidays. Most games were released during spring or summer and none of them had legs that lasted into the holidays or resurgences during the holidays.

Awakening will slowly, but surely, fizzle out. There won't be new DLC forever, but the game should make it past 500k lifetime.

I have no idea where you got that 290k number from nor which FE game it refers to.

I'm talking about the #1 FE. When I looked it up (it gave me that list of best-least selling) it showed the best selling only got 290K sales or so in Japan.

Vita selling 6k is crazy... add another 6k in USA and you have 12k xD


Nice try. It's more like 20k in USA.
Reported.

Lol. What the heck? He didn't even say anything bad. It made no sense why he said it, but it wasn't bad. 

Bad reason for reporting, though.

Whatever, Rol. I'm not going to argue with your ignorance.

You really have no idea how sales work. Awakening is only halfway there and its best weeks are already behind it. You are predicting strong legs, but this is an SRPG we are talking about here. The popularity of a system doesn't automatically make everything have great sales.

Stragedy games dont sell..starcraft says hi,plus the mere fact it's an rpg in japan is not like it's a bad thing

Your post is a little stragic. First, he didn't say stragedy games don't sell. He said stragedy RPGs don't have long legs, at least not in Japan. This is historically strue. For the record, RPGs struly don't have long legs there either, barring the odd Dragon Quest game; most of them are exstremely front loaded.

This is funny! If Vita's price cut is announced at E3 both systems will drop the price in the exact same week in japan

If not, then the gap will increase expoentially from now on.

I doubt there is going to be a price cut. I just don't see it. Color me surprised if this does happen.

They can cut the price in japan only.

Even by the standard set by Nintendo last year, cutting the price only 3 months after launch would be crazy (in America and EU)

Sony would have to make a damn nice ambassador program to please the early adopters (lol, early adopters = 3 month users sounds funny)

There might be some angry customers if they do so in a certain country only.

Also, they are temporarily cutting the price in France, so it might possible they will be announcing other countries as well. Hopefully, it's not a just promotion if they do so.
