Wow up 150% nearly so far then. Without any software releases haha. Though obv with FFX being so late last year, that'll have helped.

Exactly, and there's a nice little trickle of releases for a bit now, not earth-shattering, lots of ports and multiplats, but it'll help maintain a nice baseline and keep 2014 ahead of 2013 even without a price cut

So, My Ps4 arrives tommorow along side Knack and Killzone ^^
Can't wait to try knack out on remote play.

Vita had some horrible weeks in early Q1 last year. Think on Demon Gaze/Monster Monpiece week it was like 9k and it was hovering around that throughout January & February. As long as it finds a better baseline than that, things will be good.

It'll obviously get much less of a March boost than last year because basically everything the system is getting is a sequel or a port (Phantasy Star Online 2 Episode 2; Hatsune Miku 2; Soul Sacrifice Delta; Samurai Warriors 4; Hyperdimension Neptunia 2 etc.) But if it's got a better baseline, that should make up for it.

Also, Sword Art Online is a bit of a wild card in April, so it might even things out.

It's the latter part of the year Sony need to nail. Good Phantasy Star Nova release date with LE bundle & price cut if needed. Should keep the system up YoY. Hopefully some other game announcements to go with it and a decent advertising push for Freedom Wars.

Baseline should definitely be a lot better now, much stronger schedule but as you said theres a lot of sequels. Sony need to push Freedom Wars as much as they can, it can definitely move units and become a franchise. It even has the potential for a future manga/anime spin off further pushing the series popularity. As for SAO that really depends on the series popularity when it launches. SAO on PSP launched when it was popular I believe but was terrible game so it had 0 legs. SAO on Vita will probs launch at a weaker time in the series (Thanks Attack on Titan) but if they make a good game Im sure it can sell quite well.

There is actually a sequal to the SAO anime coming this year. Dunno when though.

I think it is being tracked, it's just been included with the Twin Pack into one number along with X-2 standalone, same as Soul Sacrifice with its Twin Pack

Unless that's what you meant...

No, you understood what I meant :)

But no, it's not being tracked like that.  If you click on the game:

http://www.vgchartz.com/game/78198/final-fantasy-x-x-2-hd-remaster/

You can see the SKU's they're tracking under "Release History".  They're only tracking one number for Japan.

And besides, the numbers don't add up anyway if they were tracking it.  The numbers we have are more than FFX/X2 dual pack but less than the dual pack + FFX standalone + FFX2 standalone.  A lot less.


Probably is a FFX/X-2HD pack + (FFXHD +FFX-2HD)... seems reasonable...

 

The Sequel for SAO anime will be placed in another different game.. so vita's will be appealling for fans of the first season.. but still i think will do good.. If hit 100k first week could be a great launch.. considering PSP's was 116k with a near 20 millions user base...

 

GUYS, here some images of Vocaloid IA rythm game:

Agreed. Sony pushed SS really nicely and the game sold well partially because of that, however they were aiming to a narrower audience (when compared to other hunting games) because of the concept and style of the game. If Sony pushes Freedom Wars like they did with Soul Sacrifice, I think they will have much a bigger hit on their hands in terms of sales and maybe hardware mover.

Yeah, I'd say Freedom Wars has much more potential in Japan than Soul Sacrifice based on art style alone.
