If an obscure game like persona 4 can cause the vita to double in sales, cant wait until an actual system seller graces the system. But even this is not going to be enough for the haters.


I thought that in Japan, the Persona series was pretty big?


It's not as big as Dragon Quest of Monster Hunter, but it's bigger than the Tales...Series, and you'd expect a new game in the series to sell around 200-300k FW, if not more.

Persona bigger than Tales? Where the hell do you get that from? Maybe you're just trying to downplay the numbers being notably above your predictions. Understandable

*sigh*

I was talking about remakes, but it's true that Tales of...games are very up-and-down and hard to predict, and that their popularity are decreasing. And Tales games tend to have a bigger FW, but tail off much more quickly, whilst Persona sell for long periods of times.

There it goes the most popular game for the Vita (that we know), now what's next?... I wanna know when the Vita gonna reach those sales again....


It'll do good again when Hatsune Miku arrives in august 30th. Maybe even better - there's a special edition bundle.

Or soon, with the white vita on June 28th.


Do u think that's enough to keep sales at least relevant?... Probably the white model will help a ill bit...

3rd week of the might four delivered.

Now for the big one - the fourth! The bad things about those sequential weeks is that one arrives, expectation for the next already begins!

Next week

Pokemon 1.6 mi
Persona 60k
3DS: 110k
Vita: 21k

Nice to see Vita doing decent. It needs more SW though, a one week spike is not enough. Hopefully with MGS, Hatsune Miku and the White Vita sales will at least level off higher than the 6k they were before.

Pokemon- 1.68mil

Persona-55k

3DS-118k

(DS-30k)

Vita-20k

 

Not sure about the DS one. It could have a hefty boost, or it could have none. I just don't know.

Well, none of those games are known for staying on charts for long periods of time. But no, they're not going to revive Vita like a Mario Kart or Monster hunter game. But it's better than nothing - which was what vita got in may.

Do you really think P4 is going to do 60k next week? Should be well under that.

Not sure about Vita, I think it'll be somewhere in the teens though.

3DS is really the big one, how much will a DS game boost the 3DS? It's a good thing it has full backwards compatibility with the DSi. (unlike the Vita)

New DS systems are also getting a bit harder to find as retailers aren't re-stocking them when they go out of stock. At one place I checked they had 1 Pink DSi and no LL or DSL systems. I ended up buying my green DSi LL online.

So the vita finally has a decent week. Still way behind 3ds though and it will be back down to below 30 next week if not lower than that.

truer words

Normally no.
But for Vita, I believe this game is its Mario Kart... for better or worse. For some time it'll be the must buy game, but that's just me guesstimating - but I'm on a good streak!
