Its a minecraft like game.... it ll sell well for years, if word of mouth gets out about it being good, and they give it some updates every now and again.

Minecraft is like 2000 yen and has been constantly supported with new content post-launch.  DQB doesn't really have either of these advantages, so there's no guarantee of legs.

Lots of elephants in the room this week.

PS4 YTD already 2x last years number
Vita YTD almost equal to last years (and more if you use constant weeks), I thought handhelds were not supposed to rise in their fifth year in Japan?
PSV outsold the 3DS in a week for the first time in like 20 years.
Minecraft PSV +3% for the prior week.
Wii U below 10k, even with a new game release
Splatoon out of the top 10

Your reasoning capabilities are defunct.

My reasoning capabilities were recently bought, so I'm back as a going concern

Not when you sell as much as the Psvita = 4.5m+ 

Soooooooooooooo the vita is breaking something (so far) that is common knowledge?  I though the system was dead?

Not to mention the sequel that will totally happen. This is SQEX, they arent going to rely on legs for years and years. I fully expect a sequel before 2017 is over.

Oh no, let's not get ahead ourselves. 3ds and PS4 will be ahead alot more weeks than the Vita. This is its 3rd time being first from over 200 times.....

Hardware
PSV:
the king has returned to its rightful place. It's going to breeze 5m LTD (297k to go). It's just proving how ridiculous the logic was, when people said the vita would die last year or this year. "handhelds only last till year 5". That only applies to handhelds that sell gangbusters in those first 3-4 years. The vita will have a long and steady life and I can only see its software support increasing. A great line up this year already.

Ps4: beasting the home console front as usual. Great performance again and it's up over 100% YTD. Solid start to what promises to be an exceptional 2016.

3DS: sales slowing but a good boost from the new sku expected next week

Wii U: almost back to pre splatoon levels. Pretty bad numbers again. Unless they can discover another splatoon this year it's going to be bad.

PS3: refusing to die!

X1: What's the point.

Not bad for Ultra Smash despite being a rather poor game from Ninten.

DQB seemed to have done pretty good..? I guess I expected higher considering it's DQ and Minecraft, which I figure Japanese people really like both of them.

The king! But  I don't think many people thought vita would be dead by now. I'm expecting good releases for another 3-4 years. Sony has third party support and keeps hardware alive for years. 

 

3ds sku? You mean 2ds? Which doesn't come Intill week 8 I believe?
