I can't believe that Special Report Division sold even worse than Time Traveler's. Two new Ips and both of them flopped badly. These sale numbers won't persuade Japanese developers to stop making games for the PSP for at least another year. But even if they do drop support I can't see them choosing the Vita over the 3DS.


Well, but let's be fair: Time Travelers flopped everywhere - it's not Vita's fault.


I'm just suprised that Special Report flopped as well since both looked very interestng. I hoped for those two titles to get localized but now I'm not so sure that it will happen.

They sold 40% of th shipment in the  first day i don't think is that bad.



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

Not even with big announcements Vita is selling...

I wonder what people want from Vita.

from what i'm seeing (counting backwards from the XL launch).
43k, 48k, 53k, 68k, 71k, 60k, 63k, 100k, 55k,...

so that puts 3DS basically back to pre-XL, pre-NSMB levels?

After selling great, yes, basically the same level. Maybe it's just post-obon though - 3DS has zero new releases for a month now too. Numbers will improve from now on, I think

Week 21: 61,212


your numbers don't quite line up with mine.  are you using famitsu?  I was using vgchartz.  I ask because your baseline looks a bit lower (and stable) than mine and that's the part i was suprised about ... that XL and NSMB didn't increase the baseline sales much if any.

While the change (if happens) won't be huge, one week is not a base for "baseline" yet.

DQX doing very good. There. Nothing else worth in the chart.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Can't jump to conclusions yet, next week that Hatsune Miku Vita and game get released. Otaku's will probably buy it in the hordes. if that doesn't work then yeah I'll be at a loss as well as to how to get people to buy the Vita.

Noctis... this thread needs an update, lacking a lot of famitsu info and MC's list names could be better.
