Forums - Sales - Media Create Sales: Week 18; April 30-May 6

I was expecting higher sales overall to be honest



Around the Network

I'm guessing Golden Week only applies to Nintendo?



Nothing more to say than... Nintendomination! Even though the boosts were not quite as high as I expected.

But... 9:1 on Golden Week...

This May things are going to get pretty ugly. Not a single Vita release and Mario and DQ for 3DS! Prepare yourselves for the worst.

I bet something 20:1 on DQ week, not kidding



Same thing every week:

-3DS outsells every consoles combined
-Vita is dead
-PS2 outsells Xbox 360

Sony has to do something to boost the Vita.  The PSP is not even dead there.  Devs are developping more games on the PSP than they do for the Vita.  I'm pretty dure it's the last handheld console for Sony.



03./03. [3DS] Fire Emblem: Awakening (Nintendo) - 42,347 / 345,260 (-30%)
04./09. [3DS] Super Mario Land 3D (Nintendo) - 28,528 / 1,563,527 (+82%)
05./14. [3DS] Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo) - 22,881 / 1,695,305 (+96%)
06./15. [3DS] Kid Icarus: Uprising (Nintendo) - 18,788 / 261,883 (+63%)
07./11. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3 G (Capcom) - 16,496 / 1,433,370 (+21%)

Amazing boosts, for all. Fire Emblem is definitely going to be the best selling FE since the SNES and Mario Land is going to be the best selling 3D Mario. And Kid Icarus is going to reach that 300k and beyond!

I wonder if this is what Nintendo calls, "blue ocean" ;)

Excellent numbers for 3DS sw. And Mario Party is holding the first place like a boss.

Lol, NoCtis.



Holie crap! Mario Party had no drop? Another good week for Conegamer it seems, because of good fire emblem sales. Plus look at that!!! Go vacation on its way to a million sales.


Yep! I wonder if/when it can hit 500k! And I wonder what caused the Wii/3DS to go up, but the Vita to go down. I know it's Golden Week, but is the situation for the Vita really THAT bad? What will happen when we get NSMB2 and DQX in Japan in August. Sony will likely dare to look...

 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

The thing that boosted Vita last week was a game.

The thing that dropped Vita this week was no games. Especially since most Vita games released and announced (if not all) are spike games, those that shine one week, but not the next.

Well persona is coming for the Vita in June I believe and the pre orders are promising!

Pokemon is coming the next week though.

Persona 4 Golden is coming out in Japan, as Ryan said. Also, I believe the new Vita color (Crystal White) is coming out in June, although I don't think it comes out until the end of the month.



Damn, Vita is really.... O_o deep in trouble. It needs games, and probably a price cut.
