Well, this is definitely the week of the "wow"'s.

Wow Youkai Watch.  I knew it was coming but still, insane numbers for a non Monster Hunter/Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest third party game.

Wow Vita.  Seriously, there's no "value" in those value packs.  And yet it boosted hardware to a higher number than Toukiden bundle from last year or Freedom Wars release from this year.  Crazy.

Wow, Vita games resurfacing.  This is the first batch of Vita games I've ever seen to actually have legs.  Persona & Sword Art Online getting legs due to anime is fair enough; but God Eater is the first "value" re-release that's actually charted on Media Create/Famitsu.  So that's great too.

And wow, Grand Theft Auto V.  Still climbing, crazy.

 

In other news - Taiko legs expected; Mario Kart holding well; Freedom Wars holding better than I expected; Pokemon Art Academy doing really well and I must admit, I didn't expect to see Warriors Orochi PS4 still in the top 30 after more than 2 weeks.

3DS hardware boost isn't as spectacular as the software sales would make it seem but still very good.  PS4/WiiU are worrying though.  One is stalling due to lack of games; one is stalling after potentially its biggest game of the year.  Really not great.
