I don't know why everyone says ouch for Professor Layton x Ace Attorney, the game seems to be supply constrained since the sellout rate is of 90%
Bad business decision from Level 5/Capcom whoever the publisher is

Both 3DS and Vita at their stable, normal sales level. I don't expect the gap to expand/shrink much from here on out on a week to week basis.

The niche device Vita may have bigger weeks in the future, but the 3DS' big weeks will always be bigger.

3DS takes the post-PSP, post-DS generation in a landslide.

Actually, no.

it's , which means 51-75% sell through. But that's common for the series.

It's ouch because people expect more from this game (it's like a god given gift to fans, I think), but it's not shame of the year, or anything like that. Only ok, acceptable. But I, at least, was expecting less than that, so in a way, I think it's a "great" number.

I said the 90% by the original post, i guess that may be wrong.

The Wii left the building with at least a bang.



Sad that Naruto SD bombed. Looks like a decent game to me.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Good to see Animal Crossing holding up well! Hope it has similar legs in the rest of the world once released, though it won't have the holiday advantage to help boost numbers.



Not too happy about Layton vs Wright but at least it didn't bomb. The way pre-orders were going I had prepared myself for way less than 100k. I really hope legs will be decent.



Layton is stronger in the West than in Japan by a considerable distance, particularly in Europe.

Of course it remains to be seen how well a crossover like that would sell over here.
