Impressive sales for Vita HW, but Miku underperforming compared to the PSP versions.

[PSP] Project Diva - 101,486
[PSP] Project Diva 2nd - 242,717
[PSP] Project Diva Extend - 189,196
[PSV] Project Diva f - 158,009

Is Miku the only PSV game in the chart?

Nice opening for Soul Hackers, even got above the PS1 remake!

Senran Kagura Burst opens higher than the original as well.

I was noticing this too.

It's a disappointing first week compared to the last two entries because it didn't sell more.

Comparing a game to its previous entries is a good way to see if a game had a good first week; just like how there was all the comparing of NSMB to NSMB2.

So overall disappointing opening for Miku. Series fatigue?

It's almost the exact opposite of series fatigue.  Those are pretty amazing numbers compared to the installation base of the Vita in Japan.  With the PSP versions, we're talking about a system that literally had tens of millions more units in the hands of consumers.  In that context, it's no wonder that people are positively surprised.  This is not even close to disappointing on a console that hasn't even been out for a year yet.

This probably also means that this game will continue to sell well as the Vita install base increases.  

They also say the digital sales were equal to 10% or so of the retail sales, so the game after day 1 first few days was more like 173-174k.

 

Edit - Oops, typo there.
