Forums - Sales - Vita in Japan - 1st year review. 50% sold in first 5 weeks.

I see two possible solution for sales to pick up.

Vita slim. Smaller screen, reduce manufacture cost, cheaper price?

Or just a simple price drop.

Vita is expensive so only dedicated gamers buy it. Of course it will have a high software ratio.



That is pretty bad...speaking of which, where's the new Media Create thread(s)? The last one I can find is from 2 weeks ago!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

M-Create has not put up the numbers yet. They are probably taking a break.

However I don't know why Famitsu has not put up their numbers yet.

New Year is a big holiday in Japan. Just about every company is off at that time. Famitsu magazine doesn't even have a release this week and the new one will be next week. The new numbers will come sometime for both of them...

Just proves how amazing the Vita's launch was! BEAST.

Yes, it had a nice launch week, but after that it was all down hill. (During that launch week it couldn't surpass 3DS sales though, so I guess the 3DS was even more of a BEAST!)

Also

50% of the annual sales came in the first 5 weeks on sale.

That is insane!!

Especially scary when you consider that there's not going to be another equivalent spike like that in 2013 until they cut the price, because the announced software sure as hell isn't doing it. Instead it's similar sales rates to the remaining 47 weeks.



VGChartz

Is there any game left to save it now?



I LOVE ICELAND!

Guys. Let's not forget the digital hardware sales for Vita. Who knows how many Sony have sold.

I was wondering the same, then I checked Famitsu webpage and found this: ※ the next update of game software unit sales] [TOP30 ranking, we are planning to (month) January 7, 2013. (Google Translate lol)

 

So we may have to wait a little longer.
