Wow! Well Troll Whisperer did say that the used market is huge over there so I guess that you are right. I would never buy a system for just one game. Although now that we are talking about it I think I remember a lot of vgcharterz doing that with the Wii from time to time.


If you looked at the SW last week, the only Vita game in the top 30 was Miku. Everyone clearly bought it for Miku and that's it. I called this last week so I'm npt surprised.

The Vita doesn't have any "major" sellers left so things won't be good.

Maybe not a big game, but a steady flow of minor games. At least that and holidays will push above the shame 10k mark.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

DKCTF didn't move consoles

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

Next big hitter for japan should be soul sacrifice, which hasn't even a release date set. Vita will starve over there massively until then. For the western market there are some big games coming, but for japan? I don't see more than soul sacrifice. Or am i missing something? FFX HD - we haven't seen anything from this yet. Maybe there will be a big announcement on TGS with a very sudden release date, but i really don't think so.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

What is the next big hit for Vita in Japan ?


To my knowledge, nothing coming out this year.



My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

Next "big" games for Vita are probably Ys: Celceta something something an Earth Defense Force Portable 3. I have no idea how big those games are but people put hope into them. But I guess they are not as big as Miku or Persona?



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

^ Strange names for ports/late releases o.O

-Vita drop ;(
-3DS NINTENDomiNATION
-Max Payne 3 is actually selling on PS3 in Japan lol
-Cant wait for Pokemon Black2/White2 to come out next month :)

That is just the name for the "budget price release". The game originally came out last year just like everywhere else, now they are releasing a lower priced. It was originally priced at 7,980 yen (tax included, not including retailer discount) now this budget release is priced at 3,990 yen.

Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."

The non-delusional among us didn't even raise an eyebrow to the Vita drop.

Did anyone actually think that those sales would be sustained?

The really non-delusional didn't raise an eyebrow at the vita increase. Others made "vita seved" threads.


Ha ha, touche. 

That's a good point.

A lot of people were actually surprised the vita rose as much as it did. But of course, only the really delusional thought the vita is now saved. Most of us expected this drop to happen.
