Media Create Sales: Week 17, 2014 (Apr 21 - Apr 27)

Edited OP.

Right, onto the stuff I couldn't post before.

Very good opening for Sword Art Online. I wasn't expecting that at all. Smaller userbase + more than a year since anime finished + mostly the same as previous game just with tweaks and a new area = I was expecting lower sales. When in fact, it opened higher than the previous game. Great.

Shame it didn't have such a big effect on hardware, but I guess that's just ammo for Bamco that they have the anime fanbase on Vita already (bad thing for hardware sales; good thing for software sales).

Good opening for Theatrhythm too. Higher than the last game, showing growth in the IP which is all they can ask for really. Seems they shipped a bit too much though.

3DS boost is nice as well. Glad to see something doing well in Japan.

On the flipside, kinda ehh for BlazBlue. Up over the previous Vita port, but not by much. Decent enough for Famicom. Another bomba from Nippon Ichi though (what's going on with them lately?) and pretty poor from MapleStory too.

And PS4 & WiiU. Poor PS4 & WiiU.
