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.

Think there where stock issues, atleast someone wrote so on neogaf.

Still 373k or so DBQ FW (across 3 platforms) is decent.

Right, I did hear about that. I think SE was even telling people they can still buy it digital.

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.

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? 

You may have been wise but a lot of people thought this would be the Vita's death year or else dead by now.  They were very foolish.  At least 3-4 years more of good releases.  The ps4/vita combo in Japan will be a long and successful one. 

 

Not sure what week that 2DS comes out but if it's really another 3 weeks?  We can expect low sales of the 3DS until then. 

 

EDIT: So how high can vita go?  This year it's started getting good support from the likes of dragon quest builders,  dragon quest heroes 2, world of Final Fantasy,  Ys 8, kancolle,  Attack on titan and many many more. 

 

If these games sell well especially the likes of world of Final Fantasy,  dragon quest heroes and builders legs other big franchises might start releasing on vita.  

If it could pick up momentum and get this level of support for another 4-5 years it could potentially hit 10m but at the very least over 8m. (note: potentially)

Really interested in the legs of Builders. My Minecraft senses tell me it should sell forever.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

This is Vitas final year to pull in a couple more first place wins because are 3DS successor hits....game over.

This is the kind of system seller the Vita needed during its first years.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

It's a sony console, haha. What sony console ever has a short life? xD Also, the Vita has a ways to go before it can be claimed king. o:

You see, for vita fans, the psvita is our king :p

I hope this shows SE that PSV can sell decent numbers to justify ports or even exclusive games. I hope it has good legs, i didn't expect 170k fw at all, at least from what I saw in the comg thread



S.Peelman on 03 February 2016

Dragon Quest Builders certainly did good things for PS4 and Vita.



Azhraell on 03 February 2016

Also Minecraft just keep doing good, can it reach 1 million LTD there?
