Very solid week again for Vita. I think anything above 25k is "OK". The DQX sales are solid but not amazing. The Wii U rise is nice, but I thought it might even hit 30k. Then again, this is only the one day sales for DQX, not a full week. Next week will probably be solid for Wii U too. It's a nice sign.

It seems not everybody is taking this into account.

That and it has also cleared 60-80% of its stock.  60-80%!  So the situation for DQX is not as grim as it looks.

This is normal for all games in Japan because retailers need to absorb the costs if they order more units than they can move, so they always rather order too few than too many.

It doesn't mean the game didn't bomb, just that it was an expected bomb.

 

Btw, that Japanese law about only being able to release DQ on a weekend seems ridiculous in this case, lol.
