People are cheering up Puzzle and Dragons because of the system it will be released on.

As for this week, I am curious to see how GTA will do. Hopefully over 300k. Could end being one of the best selling PS3 games this year in Japan, if not the number one.

Pokémon will certainly do 2m probably around 2.5m. Danganrompa should do well, up to 100k, but that doesn't mean anything more than another small publisher scoring a hit on Vita and possibly bringing other titles to Vita in the future. Fairy Fencer F has everything to be the best FW of a Compile Heart game ever, which is nice because it seems that they put more effort than the usual in this one.

Despite it being a pretty bad game, it'll be huge. So, it's definitely going to be exciting and should have legs for days.

I'm not quite sure why people are cheering Puzzle & Dragons Z. Maybe there are Japanese people cheering on Angry Birds? Yay, smart phone games.

P&D Z on 3DS is not a port of a smartphone game. It's something like a sequel with more attention to story and other elements. Gameplay basis is same, but this time without f2p stuff. So many people very excited and company's expectations for this title are high.

I think its only a matter of time before P&D passes GE2.


It's likly but i still think it's still possible to God Eater to rest in top,i expect  God Eater pre order will increase soon and P&D will slow a bit.


GE2 can stay ahead if it starts pulling more pre orders. ButPDZ wont slow down, if it could it would have already. Its a game that migt do 500k-1.5mil lifetime in japan. the points have a chance to surpass GE2 if it doesn't pick up.

GE2 has the advantage of releasing sooner but also the disadvantage of the smaller user base and the fact that its on 2 platforms. It it only on one platform then I doubt P&D would pass it while it was still in the charts.


I think psv install base is not a problem for God Eater, best selling God Eater game sold 0.67 and psv iinstall base is 1m800 and Vita gamers are very active



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Why wouldn't we? It shows devs that dedicated handhelds are still relevant. It's a thousand times better that a phone game ends up in a handheld, than one of our beloved franchises end up in a phone. Wouldn't you agree?

Do you believe God Eater 2 has potential to sell a copy for half of the Vita owners? Vita has not had one game selling 300k in retail (many with gameplay similar to God Eater) and half of God Eater 2 pre-orders are for the theorically inferior PSP version. Vita install base is such a problem for God Eater 2 that it will have to sell at least a third of its copies on PSP. Not to mention the people who would buy such a game if it were just shelling 5k Yen, but won't as they would need to shell at least 10k Yen for a Vita TV or 20k Yen for a Vita.

It will probably be the most successful Vita game when it is launched, but Vita install base is definitely a factor of worry for God Eater 2.

I've been messing around with Puzzle & Dragons for a couple of months, ever since I found out it was already out in English and free. Don't knock it until you try it. Certainly it's still a mobile game, but it's fun, it has a decent amount of depth, and best of all it doesn't rub microtransactions in your face at all. I haven't spent a dime on the game and I've played for quite a while.

I for one am "cheering" for PADZ because I want it to actually be good. It looks like Gung Ho has spent the resources and effort to make this a legitimate console game. Why wouldn't I want to encourage that?

25% of Vita owner had Uncharted i expect the same for God Eater it 25% of the actual Vita install base will buy God Eater life time

God Eater and PADZ are going to put on a show for the next couple of months. :)

Besides, now we can share some of the Poke-fun with the weekly chartz.

300k to 400k is not unfeasible for God Eater 2 on Vita, maybe even 500k. Yet, its install base is not enough to match God Eater Burst numbers alone. Unless Vita 2000 and Vita TV set the charts on fire (which I don't see happening), Vita's small install base will still be a factor for "bigger" games.
