Forums - Sales - Japan Up - Week 37 - Sep 10-16 2012

Average week. Nothing more.

After that TGS show, Vita is going to have an awful first year. I know TGS isn't over yet, but god that support from Sony and third-parties is so thin. Plus, Soul Sacrifice is now 2013, which is the only big game the Vita had this year (of course it was never really set for 2012, but depressing it's not releasing this year).

I have now lined up for my Vita doom train ticket, still not there yet as I'm hoping for something from TGS, but no longer. I really wish Sony handled the Vita more. So far, 2013 doesn't look all that better. Anyway, this is just my opinion on the matter. Not trying to downgrade the system or anything, but come on, Sony.

No Monster Hunter for Vita?


Didn't you hear? They announce Monster Hunter games in US events now.

I still believe (but those are the last 2 days of my belief... period!)

(3DS still doing great)



Vita to cross streams with dreamcast next week?

The Vita doesn't look very healthy in that chart... notice how the PS3 and PSV got a boost from some game at the exact same week into their lives? other things to look at are the skyrocketing of the 3DS after the price drop and it always amazes me how the Gamecube sold like 1/4 of its lifetime sales in its first 3 months and then struggled to stay above 10k a week after that

Blame this beast here:



I hope LBP Vita has insane replay value because I just cancelled all preorders after that. I just can't justify to drop 45€ per game on a dying system and rather wait 2-3 months and pick up the games I want for 20€ or less.



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.

Rise and shine Japan! 7 o'clock.

TGS starts in 5!

hours...
