Around the Network

Ouch, next week PSV will be like 30K or less in US!



Vita, don't disappoint me.
I predicted you were going to be the western portable!



Just noticed last weeks adjustments :o ps3 adjusted up and is #1 and vita adjusted up by the big 2k!!!



Nice to see PC support for ME3. Need fellow fans to play with in co-op.

Are those good numbers for SFxT?

US:

The Tretton desire for 500k in 3 weeks is missed with an actual 316k

It may well take 10 weeks to get to 500k

316 + 30 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 = 496 after 10 weeks... that is woeful.

3DS took 2 weeks to get to 500k ( was 824 k after 8 )
PSP took 2 weeks to get to 500k ( was 1.1 m after 8 )

UK:

Falling too fast.... no demand?

It was not a desire. It was not a target. It was not a wish. It was Jack Tretton saying that the japanese launch, contrary to what most people said, was a success (500k in 3 weeks) and if that were to be the american launch he would be glad.

I think I'll put that in my sig, since everybody thinks Tretton said: "if Vita doesn't sell 500k in 3 weeks I'll be a circus monkey!"



Good start for Mass Effect, constantly expanding your brand is awesome.

Market has already determined that a $249/299 portable gaming system is not sustainable so the vita's numbers are not that surprising.

I don't want to say that people are voting with their feet but Nintendo has an image problem in the US, those 3DS/Wii sales, both in terms of hardware and software (with all the game releases) are atrocious, even for March.

I see nothing wrong with those 3DS sales, they're only now starting to fall since I imagine a good portion of those that wanted MK7 and SM3DL are now in possession of it. We'll just have to wait until Kid Icarus and Layton come out this month to ascertain whether there is a loss of interest in the hardware or just a lack of software.



Mass Effect PS3 did great! Considering 360 can transfer saves from #1, brand was established on 360 and ME2 was released a year later. I guess I am one of the PS3 ME3 purchasers.

Despite the atrocious ending I think the game will shatter #2's sales (1+2 combined even? Mmm maybe not)

I told you it wouldn't be. Or maybe I didn't.

At this rate the PSV might end up being one month ahead of schedule.


You did.

But I'm kidding, I know it won't sell that well in the west, but it'll try hard to be the west portable, almost snobbing japanese games.

That's what Sony's doing, imo.
