Little Battler eXperience did 168k when it released for PSP last year, should do respectable numbers too. Coincidentally it released the same day as Ocarina of Time for 3DS.

This week's Persona bump actually reminds me of the week 3DS received the bump due to Ocarina of Time 3D.

  Hardware Week Before Hardware Week Of Unit Boost Percent Boost
3DS 24,511 40,990 +16,479 +67%
PSV 13,383 34,495 +21,112 +157%

Ocarina of Time 3D sold 166,365 units week 1 and has sold 553,069 units so far.

Persona 4: The Golden sold 137,076 units week 1.

So yeah, some interesting similaraties.

Famitsu has Zelda at 182,998, quite a difference.

PlayStation Vita may have its first genuine hit with Persona 4 The Golden. In addition to placing first last week with 137,076 units sold -- the first time a Vita game has topped 100,000 in its first week -- Media Create reports today a high 84.11% sell-through.

The Golden may be just a remake of PlayStation 2's Persona 4, but it beat similar remakes on the PSP. Persona 3 Portable sold 94,000 units in its first week in November 2009. Persona 2 Innocent Sin sold 63,000 in its first week in April 2011.

The Golden also beat out its predecessors in a stat we usually don't hear about: percentage of first week sales that came from pre-orders. The original Persona 4 sold 29.1% of its first week's total to pre-orders. Persona 3 Portable sold 56%. Persona 2 Innocent Sin sold 45.9%. The Golden reached a high 66.6%. Media Create believes this is the result of user demand through the exposure Persona 4 has received through a variety of media (anime, manga, stage, etc.).

Outside of Persona 4 The Golden, the week's other big release was Lollipop Chainsaw . This sold 53,000 units on PS3 and 14,000 units on Xbox 360. Both systems saw a 77% sell-through.

Too bad that even with a boost, Vita is just over half of 3DS sales.



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

 

I wonder how the announcement of the 3ds LL will affect the 3ds pokemon HW boost? Some people who might've been planning on getting a 3ds along with pokemon bw2 might hold off on the 3ds purchase to get the LL when it releases next month.

Yeah, I thought that too. Nintendo was both dumb and kind (to avoid fan-rage) revealing this just before the launch of Pokemon.

Smbu, what new piece of hardware/software did you bought this week for us to drool over


Sure, green Dsi XL is good, but I wound't trade my bronze one for nothing, you'll have to try harder!

I haven't gotten much of anything as I've been playing DQM: Terry. On the weekend I went to a shopping center and at the videogame/cd/dvd/bookstore there, they were giving out a rare DQM monster via streetpass/spotpass? Outside the place there were close to 100 people and more inside just sitting there with their 3ds systems! They had a special area cordoned off for it. It was nice because you could also get rare monsters from other players as well with streetpass. My gf and I were there for about 20 min on our 3ds'.

I'll take my green one thank you!

I did pick up this Galaxy Express 999 DS game, the premium box version. http://www.culturebrain.co.jp/999/ I found it for pretty cheap under 2,000 yen new (considering it's original 9,990 yen price!) The small figures are so-so, but I am using the little lcd clock. Haven't tried the game yet.

Yeah, I thought the same. It was pretty nice of them though as some people would probably have been playing pokemon on a DSi LL, so moving to the smaller screen 3ds would be a "downgrade" screen size-wise.
