Hmm...Is 700k low or high at this time of the year for system first week sales?


If I remember correctly it would be the biggest launch ever for Japan.

Both articles are right. If you read the OP again they said that Sony initially shipped 500k Vita but since the Pre-order demand is high ( sold-out?)  they added 200K more units so they can meet the demand. OF course I still treat this as a rumor until next week's Media creat numbers or official reports frrom reliable sources comes in.

I see, thanks for clearing that up

@bolded: Rumors? Well that explains the predictions over in the VITA prediction thread, I found it odd that most people were predicting 300k-400k when these articles say they sold out in preorders and shipped more


Yeah a rumor because Sony hasn't confirmed it yet but ofcourse this is a nice indication on how Vita FW will be.

Happy that Sony managed to have 700k consoles day one, question now is how many will they sell in just 2 days.

if Vita does more than 600k first week in Japan, I'll be really, really surprised

and the reason is, apart from 3DS strong competition, it doesn't really have any megaton game yet that is going to attract Japanese, now if it makes these numbers without a big game, imagine with FF for example what it can do



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

The pre-orders we have for the Vita games are like at max 250k copies. Why would they buy a Vita without games?

Unless all they want is to play Monster Hunter 3rd on the Vita -.-

My prediction of over 1 million overall HW sales in Japan during next week is becoming more and more likely.....

That 700k wont all be done in the 2 days we class as first Week.

Probably into the 2nd "Week".

Well it looks like my prediction is massively low for the Vita.
