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?

Ridiculous, this opening is extremely satisfying.

With the digital sales (estimated at 10% by the series spokesman), Project Diva F opened at 176K, so just 10k under Extend on an install base 20 times smaller!

Don't forget that a PSVita still costs 25'000 yens and a boxed Project Diva f 7'300 yens : that's a huge hurdle. Extend had solid legs (now 320K) as price dropped. That may be even more true for Project Diva F with a start price so high. This developpement costs issue really worries me though...

And by the way... THIS GAME IS F** AWESOME! I've having a bloody great time with it!
