If an obscure game like persona 4 can cause the vita to double in sales, cant wait until an actual system seller graces the system. But even this is not going to be enough for the haters.


I thought that in Japan, the Persona series was pretty big?


It's not as big as Dragon Quest of Monster Hunter, but it's bigger than the Tales...Series, and you'd expect a new game in the series to sell around 200-300k FW, if not more.

Woot, not even close!

Already gone over this twice. Read other posts next time.

The Persona series has been trending upwards, and the Tales series has been trending downwards. Also, ports are more successful for Persona than for Tales.

Persona 5 will have FW sales of between 200-300k, the same as the next Tales game.

Anything I missed?

You missed the fact that Xilla (the most recent Tales game) did 500k FW. Which is double your expectations of the trending series. They ended up shipping over 750k, so that's far more upwards trend than Persona (considering it outdid every Tales game since the PS1 entries).

At last one week of decent sales for the Vita, however still lower than 3DS sales, despite the fact that Persona 4 is the biggest game for Vita this year.

What if the PSV was 10k Yen cheaper like the 3DS?  I mean surely sales would have been more right?

As I said, the sales of the series are very up and down, and hard to predict.It's also the ne which goes against the trend.

September will be a great month for Vita aswell.

http://www.siliconera.com/2012/06/19/ys-celceta-sea-of-trees-coming-in-september/

Ys remake... not that big, imo.

September needs more, July needs a big game too - but it's too late for that month.

 


Well I never said it was big() but with YS releasing in september it will spurge the sales of VIta a little.

Vita will have a boost 0f 5k-10k from YS.

That's... not good. Especially for biggest game of the month.

Going back to the discussion in the first page, Ys is kinda obscure.

You never know what will releae later this year, they just announced Ys 4 for the Vita and then there is Hatsune Miko. FF X HD will probably release sometime later this year in Japan, then the sales will really explode.

Yeah, I can definitely see the game having good sales on the PS3. Not sure about a huge HW boost this late in the PS3's life though. Oh wait were you talking about the Vita?

Ys 7 did 40k... I really can't see the remake doing 60.

60k for Hatsune Miku... a little high, but price cut may already happen, so maybe.

50k for white vita... way too high, imo.

The above poster is overly optimistic for HW sales confirmed.

Then either the Vita would be a whole lot different (cheaper parts, etc.) or Sony would be in the poor house.

Funny, that sounds like the what if the ps3 was the same price as the 360 arguments from 2007/2008.
