Forums - Sales - Global HW & SW UP! 5th May 2012

What Sony needs is high quality games coming to the system. Maintain the price point and just get great games to release for the system.

A price cut will only do so much, without great games the system will plummet again. Great games over price cut. E3 is right around the corner. BioShock Vita, Assassin's Creed Vita and Call of Duty Vita will do a lot for PS Vita in the west. Without a price cut.

wow 3:1 3ds vita ratio



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Software is truly pathetic. Outside of Mass Effect 3, there hasn't been any notable releases this year and there doesn't appear to be any in the future until the fall. I guess after last year, publishers really want to release in the holidays even if it's bound to be super crowded.



Are the global software numbers going to be this late from now on?

Global SW is up



Golden Week boosted 3DS and Wii a lot more than the others in Japan. Really bad that PSV wasn't boosted at all, it even decreased, instead.

Wii has been outselling PSV since mid-march, don't know why some people are acting surprised. The same goes to the sales of DS, Nintendo seems to prefer market penetration than profitability, why it should be higher than that. Now, if PSV falls behind DS that would be the confirmation of a deep trouble.

I know these are boring times, and fewer people are posting in the sales threads, but some comments are asking for a troll debate.
