Pokemonbrawlvg on 27 June 2012

I expect somewhere around 20-25k for Vita next week. Considering Metal Gear Solid is a somewhat popular series in Japan and a new color will be released. Afterwards, it'll drop again with nothing really releasing in the upcoming weeks.

Dokuro 7-5
Time Travelers (multi-platform) 7-12
Resistance: Burning Skies 7-12
Powerful Pro Baseball 7-19

And that's it!

@Basil Fire Emblem! They wouldn't delay Pokemon! They would not dare!

Amazing Mario tennis and DQ legs
Fire emblem still charting is great
Poor 3DS boost, but nice sales anyway
Vita back to irrelevance

Pokemon showing its power, 1.6m for a sequel on a dead platform is amazing
Persona on free fall...

k care to chose your words. You do realize we have Vita fans who prefer other ways for it said.

I know you love Nintendo, but this is a sales forum for everyone.

Vita dropped hard! I expected 20k at least.. damn!

And anyone else amazed by DQ's hold? I thought the second week was quite low, but it's going very strong now!

I'm quite surprised at it, too. DQ games usually have big openings and then go under the radar until Holidays. But that's what we also thought about Monster Hunter and look how well the legs played out for it.

DQ main line series does not equal Dragon Quest monsters series. Even then though DQ9 held pretty well on the DS. First week of 2.34m and final total of 4.34m.
DQM:Joker opened at 627k and ended at 1.49m
DQM:Joker 2 opened at 645k and ended at 1.24m (And then the expanded game had 600k)
Both those games held quite well too. DQM:J2 was above 50k for the first 4 weeks. The first game would have been but was supply constrained. 

The 3DS game is a remake so it might not hold as well however still don't be surprised to see the game reach 1m+ 



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.

Not much of a 3DS boost, due to the XL announcement?

But Vita+Persona really slid, far lower than I expected.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Next week battle for the bomb
Culdcept vs MgsHD

Culdcept is a super niche card game/RPG. It would have to do less than 20-30k lifetime to be consider a flop.

Well, it has 26pts atm on COMG, with 2 days left to pre-order. It must do something like 15-20k FW

15-20K? Going by COMG? Nintendo games do a lot more than pre orders in COMG. At least 40k opening.

The second and third week DQM was supply constrained.

I guess white vita and MGS are next week? Either way good second week sales for persona but a rough vita fall.
