For the first time in decades months (week ending on May 4th) the Vita has push hardware sales above the 8k sales mark for the week ending on Aug.10th. Yes thats right the niche game Dragon's Crown (teh game with the bewbs) was enough to send Vita sales up 72% for the week. Dragons's Crown softwares sales were IMO better than expected totaling in at 35,373 which is more than Muramasa put up which open at only 15,299 in NA.

Of course this is VGChartz, so it obviously can be taken as 100% accurate, especially since it's a Japanese game.  This proves that there is demand for PSVita when even a niche game drops. I wonder how the sales will go when we see the numbers from the week of the price drop? Another thing to note, this does not track digital sales, since Dragon's Crown is also on PSN.

still good, the problem is ps3 and psv sharing! imagine how much better it would of sold if vita exclusive! Yea i kno its better for sony to release on both but if it were exclusive Vita gotten a 3-4x boost imo!

Congrats though for both pikmin and DC

Fucken wow! Very encouraging read ...

Surprised a Japaneses game like Dragons crown was able to push this many units in America. I'm curious to see how much Vita sales will increase when Killzone Mercenary drops with the price cut!

was there ever a doubt that this game would be a system seller ?

This is good and all until you realize that the Vita only sold 8K..

Unless you realise that this is not a serious thread. It mirrors the thread on Pikmin and its effect on WiiU hardware sales in the US. Both still doing bad, but not as bad as usual. 

Yes 8k is still absolutely awful but I expected almost no rise in sales (or at most up to 6k) due to it being niche AND available on PS3. I think it's more impressive than an exclusive first party game which was actually advertised puting up a rise in sales proportional to a multiplatform niche game on a nearly dead console ;). 

Besides this thread is poking a little fun at you hardcore Nintendo fans :)
