Forums - Sales - Japan sales week 35: Hatsune Miku week!

Nice boost for the vita now lets see how it holds, about Soul Hackers and Senran Kagura..... I WANT THEM!!!!



Around the Network

It's been said a lot but I'll say it again, nice boost for the Vita. Hope it's a semi-permanent thing. Would be nice to see slightly more competition for the 3DS >

Impressive sales for Vita HW, but Miku underperforming compared to the PSP versions.

[PSP] Project Diva - 101,486
[PSP] Project Diva 2nd - 242,717
[PSP] Project Diva Extend - 189,196
[PSV] Project Diva f - 158,009

Is Miku the only PSV game in the chart?

Nice opening for Soul Hackers, even got above the PS1 remake!

Senran Kagura Burst opens higher than the original as well.


I was noticing this too.

It's a disappointing first week compared to the last two entries because it didn't sell more.

Comparing a game to its previous entries is a good way to see if a game had a good first week; just like how there was all the comparing of NSMB to NSMB2.

So overall disappointing opening for Miku. Series fatigue?

Nintendo has 2 handheld consoles and still lose to Sony. Shame, Nintendo. Shame.



At last high sales for Vita (still below 3DS) but low sales for a Hatsune Miku game. This sales will not encourage developers to make Vita games.

Damned impressive for the Vita and Hatsune Miku this week! Don't think anyone could've asked for a better performance.
It's gonna take a hell lot more to get Vita to acceptable levels in the mid to long term, though.

Those are important numbers for PSV, it won't solve the situation (still in my own doom list) but it's nice to have some good week once in a while.
It exceeded my expectations..

Good numbers for 3DS software, and DQX will sell all the first shipment.

It's almost the exact opposite of series fatigue.  Those are pretty amazing numbers compared to the installation base of the Vita in Japan.  With the PSP versions, we're talking about a system that literally had tens of millions more units in the hands of consumers.  In that context, it's no wonder that people are positively surprised.  This is not even close to disappointing on a console that hasn't even been out for a year yet.

This probably also means that this game will continue to sell well as the Vita install base increases.

Bad news for Vita, Sony and every pervert on the planet

Hatsune Miku Project Diva F Sequel Unlikely Due to Development Costs

The fuck? Why pervert? I'm in my 20s and love these kinda games.



VITA has amazing potential. If only it had the right games and price this would outsell everything in Japan.
