Minecraft vita at 1m retail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES YES YES. Gif!!!!

First Sony published title to hit 1m in 12 years!!


https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/videogames#1

Amazon Japan:
PS4 pro #1
PS4 Slim #2

Pro gone back out of stock again. But it's clear as day. Sony are nowhere near meeting demand in Japan so far.



Congratz Minecraft Vita, it's been a loooooonnnggg grind. Digital sales were already great before retail release but that didn't stop Minecraft from going 36k first week to 1 million.

So what's the next stop? Anyone know current digital numbers? 1,5 million retail+digital will happen easily so is the goal now 2 million, lol?



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Congrats Microsoft! I wonder if they will also put it on the Switch. Because it seems like there is more of market on the Wii U than the PS4.



Pocky Lover Boy!

Sony is the publisher. Excellent milestone for them! 

 

Another milestone is Sony hardware sold more this year then any other in Japan.  When's the last time that happened?

Oh! Somehow I thought MS bought it before releasing it on the Vita. 

 

I dont know. Probably in the PS2 era. Maybe there is a yearly Japan sales summary somewhere.

Nope but even if they did Sony probably would have published it anyway.  These deals are made and signed long before they actually release.  Sony did very well to lock minecraft down before MS took over.

Isn`t it more of a Mojang just aren`t big enough to self publish so MS/Sony do it for them? I`m sure Microsoft and Sony were both publishing the Xbox and PlayStation versions respectively before Microsoft bought the franchise.

Yeah but the point is if MS had of bought them in time they wouldn't of let Sony publish the vita version.  They'd either have done it themselves or not released it on vita at all.

4m in 151 weeks for PS4, meanwhile for these other systems it took:

WII: 54 weeks
PS2: 66 weeks
PS1: 107 weeks
PS3: 163 weeks
N64: 182 weeks
NGC: 259 weeks
WIU: Never got there

That's quite interesting.  So it's the leader of the systems that did kinda poorly but nowhere near the systems that did amazingly.  Almost in a middle ground of not-success-not-failure.  I suppose that's the best they can ask for at this point.

It is still strange, that people don't see what you wrote still. PS4 isn't doing no where near consoles of past that did amazing, it is keeping up with second place ps3. Honestly it might even fall behind around in march-april (Whenever PS3 passes the winter time of 2009) (Sony Ps3 around this time in its life recieved the slim/ff13 and sells more insanely than the ps4 did when it released three slim/ff15/pro.)
