All the console drop more or less 20%. But the interesting information for me is how much 3DS software is performing. 80.000 3DS but more or less 170.000 games without important games out this week gives a good feeling for 3DS future (and bad results for Beyond the labyrint).

Wow the home console market is really slow over there it seams. I guess once everyone has a Wii and Ps3 they switch to handhelds and 3ds is dominating that part . where vita needs games fast come on sony. what are you doing its been a month in japan and still no new games I doubt tales will b ump it much we will see

If you were spending 2 hours each day in train you would be dedicated handheld gamer too ;)

Armored Core 5 but I didnt remember the game xD

It's an oldschool niche rpg. Why would you expect it to be any better?

Price isn't the problem with Vita.
It's a a lack of must-have software and a lack of good marketing. I don't live in Japan so the latter is just an assumption in my part.

Software is key as well, but I think price hurts it a lot in Japan. Personally don't see must-have software situation changing in the first two quarters, but niche JRPG is personally what I want from the product and it seems to be able to delivery that. 

If I look at Ni no kuni sales, Beyond the labyrint isn't a surprise. Due to the fact it's a game I'd like to buy I fear they'll never Introduce it in EU and USA.
