Vita will remain below PSP until Sony stop releasing the bread and butter stuff on PSP, and there's the eminently predictable 1st year price cut.


Sony don't releases this games, but third party publisher. And you can be sure, if they decide to move to a new platform with these games it will not be the Vita.

Cheering for PSP in Japan is bad for two things

1 - It's hurting Vita's Sales
2 - Not a single PSP game released there will come west

I lost my hopes for God Eater, Tales, Yakuza, Monster Hunter... even Final Fantasy Type-0 looks distant, even though Square would be dumb not to release it


Gods Eater Burst is available in Europe.

Oh, I know, it's avaiable in USA too, but the sequel won't be. Any PSP game won't be, probably, and there's still a lot.

Kingdom Hearts 3D Sells 64% of Stock

Media Create's analysis of its sales stats for the week reveals a 64.2% sell-through for Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance. This means that the game sold 64.2% of stock.

The firm reported first week sales of 213,579 units for Dream Drop Distance yesterday. The game failed to reach the 295,000 units and 72.35% sell-through of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days on DS, but Media Create notes that 3DS has sold just 5.5 million units at present, compared to the 26.6 million units sold by the DS at the time of 358/2 Days' release in May 2009.

Media Create also reveals that pre-orders for Dream Drop Distance were much higher than those of 358/2 Days. The 3DS title managed 150,000 pre-orders. 358/2 Days managed just 90,000. This, according to Media Create, indicates that Dream Drop Distance may have succeeded in reaching the series' core fans.

The other big game for the week was Pro Baseball Spirits 2012, which was released on PS3, PSP and Vita simultaneously. The PS3 version dominated with 90,433 units. PSP followed with 60,141 units, with Vita selling 17,264 units. These figures are similar to last year's installment, which sold 86,000 units on PS3, 71,000 on PSP and 12,000 on 3DS. Konami did not release a 3DS version this year.

Yup, it had a drastic price cut there, the biggest one around the world.

But now the part you'll hate: at 25.000 ¥ it sold way better than Vita!

It costs more than a PS2? That's...surprising...

ihc


Yeah, that was the most surprising thing of the list for me too. And the thing needs a memory card too.

It's a juggernaut, no doubt about it. I still say this, it's the only console that won the war before being released. (GB and GBA not included, since they had no real competitors)

Yeah, from that I'd imagine the figures are wrong, but it seems to be true:

If it weren't for the reduction in price, the figures would be the same as mentioned above...

now I assume, and remember I'm not entirely sure, and it's just a shot in the dark......but at that time did it have a  *fuckcheapasshit* Vita to compete with??? you know... just guessing, and I'm just guessing that at that time.....the Vita didn't, you know, well... exist, and if it was 100 dollars cheaper, which in my mind and this is just in my mind, would paint and ENTIRELY different picture than the one we have today, but just assuming of course, no way to be sure lol maybe the Vita did exist and was 100 dollars cheaper because you know THAT would be impressive right, RIGHT?

here I was thinking the 3DS lead was impressive...silly me, should have known something was missing from that there "victory", and by missing I mean a fuckton massive price difference...
