But this week PSVita sale include 3 day and the next week 7 day when they combine the sale they will be more then a week.

Remember the Japan launch?

 

First week, 2 days: 370.000 (or something)

Second week, 7 days (duh): 74.000

 

However, this is still only the first edition bundle, like I said before, so you just expected a rise for the wrong reason.

But it's not the same situation in Japan the first week was the week of the official release of PSVita but in America this number are the number of a limited bundle without the choise of choosing the version of Vita(wifi or 3g) and games not everybody want little deviants.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Uh, yeah. Which is exactly what I said...

 

You didn't mention that in your first post though.

Sony fans' confidence is quite low. What's with all the "but it's only 2 days of crappy bundle"?
Moving their own goal post instead of Nintendo's.

It is funny how the people who predict massive failure still claim to be "disappointed" by low numbers, and supporters who predict good or even great sales are "pleasantly surprised" by those same numbers. 

But I think this is a situation that is incredibly hard for vgchartz to track without solid data from retailers, so I don't put much stock into them. But if they are real, and next week builds on this, I would call this a good start for sure.

Also with Vita's complete launch numbers coming with next weeks charts, I think the time could be right to remove DS/PSP from the hardware chart on the front page.

They've already been removed for a few weeks now as far as I know.

only one week apart? Should both weeks count as everything's first week sales. I mean I personally think 75k is great for the expencive bundle, but you cant be combining weeks. It makes no sense.

What I meant was since it's a prelaunch week AND only one week from its actual release, it's fair to count them both. If there was no prelaunch week, wouldn't those same 75k people gotten their Vitas on launch day? If they wanted it so badly that they paid extra to get it one week early, I think they have more than enough reason to get one on the day it came out for everyone if there was no pre launch bundle. If it was let's say, a bundle where you get it one month in advance, then maybe the sales shouldn't be added together.

Prelaunch is a marketing thing. The system launched this past week. And the cheaper skus are coming out a week later. Those people who bought the vita "a week early" are still running around with it and playing it and hyping it to their friends, many of whom will be getting the vita now at "official" launch instead of a week after.

There was hardly any marketing for the first edition bundle. Only people who follow games media or visit the playstation blog knew about this. I only started seeing actual marketing of the Vita about a few days prior to Feb 22. So your criteria for not counting the prelaunch week's with the official launch week's sales is that people were influencing others to buy it themselves? Isn't this the case with every launch? The fact is these people who bought their vitas early would have bought them on Feb 22 or during the week of launch instead if there was no pre-launch bundle.

True for lifetime global, but I'm hoping its removed from weekly as well.

I was talking about the marketing for the first edition bundle, not the vita as a whole. And there was no marketing for the first edition bundle. It was basically there as an option for people who wanted 3G and needed a little extra incentive. Sony probably knew they would be wasting their money marketing the bundle also.

I was pretty shocked at first by the vita numbers, only to find out they were week 0, not bad at all

Twisted Metal also opened pretty well, FF13-2 dropping hard
