ALWAYS HAVE A NEGATIVE SONY THING TO SAY HUH TBONE!? Just kidding, You're both just posting facts. On the numbers here, High School DxD isn't a great showing and countless games have shown that there is an audience for this stuff on Vita. Don't really see what's 'negative' about that. He posted two negative things about Sony games, too (that Madoka placement is pretty poor too). As Ryuzaki posts go, there really wasn't anything wrong with this one.
You are correct. Too busy a day, unfortunately!.
And OT: I hope that placement for Shin Gundam Musou translates to good numbers for Vita. Considering the lukewarm-but-decent sales of Warriors Orochi 3 and the pretty terrible sales of DW8, it'd be nuce to see at least one musou game succeeding on the platform this holiday. Low from Madoka. Legs for everything else. I wonder if Drakengard will indeed open to the 130k that its predecessors did. Would be another case like Summon Night where the fanbase just did not change at all despite a massive gap between releases. |
I'm surprised at how well this seems to have done - Pokemon did 150k last week, so even if it didn't get a boost, Shin Gungam Musou Vita would have had to sell 75k FW to beat the two SKUs. Given that nintendo software gets big bumps at christmas, it may have sold even better. Also the Vita's best selling Gundam game was Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED Battle Destiny which had an LTD of 120k and was exclusive, so for this to maybe beat it as a multiplat is impressive
Personally, I wasn't expecting such good signs, I think I said 60k FW for it in the COMG thread so this is promising, especially as I usually let my hopes get the better of me with Vita games only to end up a little disappointed. Of course this is all with the caveat that Tsutaya isn't totally representive of the wednesday figures, but it is at least a cause for optimism
