Wow weird vita numbers, but perhaps the sony conference is responsible for that, what with the remote play news.
Next week sales should be higher, and WOW at pezus' prediction coming true. Spot on.
Also great MG:R numbers 350k is way more than I expected. Should be able to do a mil in JP lifetime.

Not likely. Ps3 games don't have legs in Japan. Best case scenario 700k

This is so sad and a complete lie. Games have legs based on their inherent appeal (which is usually linked to a franchise or genre) and even then there are exceptions. Demon's Souls is one example of some sexy legs.

Did it sell over a mil in Japan alone? Did it have a great opening and kept selling for a long time? Can you think of any other examples? How about mgs4? That's right. Bigger opening and didn't manage to sell over a mil (or am I wrong? that's what I read in another tread).

Please explain how this is a lie.
