Everything poor...yes, even 3DS


I think you have slightly unrealistic expectations of what the portable market is now. 

The DS and PSP generation wasn't the norm. It was a complete and utter aberration. It ended up with what? 220m or something? Prior to that we had the GBA at around 80m. Before that the Gameboy and gameboy colour at 120m and I guess the game gear fits in here at 11m. Now there were still some competitors but honestly they were mostly a few million at best. 

The DS and PSP generation was massive for handhelds. Given the rise of smartphones it is unlikley any dedicated handheld generation will be able to reach that point in the near future. However aiming for more in line with GBA / GB territory (So somewhere around 100m) is far more reasonable. 

The 3DS is doing fine. Especially for where it is in it's life cycle. It still has 2d mario and pokemon yet to come for it. Basically the two biggest franchises. Not to mention those rumours of the redesign this year. Selling 65k in a week with no releases (maybe there was something that didn't chart?) and the charts full of software on your platform is very healthy. 

Unrelated but something I feel is worth pointing out is that DQM had some stock problems. Iirc sell through in the first week was over 90% and it didn't get a proper second shipment. 



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

Don't forget MH 4!



The usual:

PSP(2011 YTD)= 1,040,345
PSP+PSV(2012)=705,383(-32.2%)

Looking ahead to Week 24, PSP did 31,796 in 2011.

3DS+DS(2011 YTD)=1,555,607
3DS+DS(2012 YTD)=1,982,281(+27.4%)

Looking ahead to week 24, 3DS+DS did 51,544 in 2011.

All handhelds(2011 YTD)=2,595,952
All handhelds(2012 YTD)=2,687,664

"All handhelds" number in the coming months should increase. 3DS and Vita will both improve.

Harvest Moon is refusing to die.



See how much of a boost Vita gets when it gets games the Japanese actually care about?

All Vita really needs is games.

I expect a huge boost for last weeks numbers since Persona 4 launched with ~200 points on COMG chart.

Good 3DS number even with huge drop from last week. Vita got a little boost too with one game. It needs more japan oriented games to get a decent weekly sale WW.

A few k, yeah. But it can't sustain it.

I'd imagine that the Vita will be at 15-20k, for a week, then back down to 10-13k after its launch, before returning to its 5-6k a few weeks later.

I don't think so the release of game in Vita improved i think Vita will do 35-40k in the week of Persona 4 then it sale will down without returning to 5-6k level for 2 week then MGSCollection will out and the new color will boost PSVita another time.

Then in July we will have 4 PSVita Game Doruko and resistance but will not boost Vita and Time Travelers et Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2012  witch i think will make a boost of 1k-2k  then in august  we will have the next big boost with Next Hatsune Miku Project Diva and  the new IP of  Nippon Ichi ,for septembre we will have Little Battler eXperience W.

I predict that Vita won't going less then 10k for any week in this year.

 



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

No way will the Vita increase 200-300% on the launch of one game. And the other games are pretty minor and won't make an impact, bar a couple k for one week. It'll be back at around 6k come July/August, especially the NSMB2/DQX launch week...

Things are looking up, though. I'll give you that.

If Gundam was able to boost 6k i don't know why Persona 4 can't boost 15-20k vita.
