This was actually last week, but still...

Pretty poor for Vita really, and I don't see how COMG can be trusted after missing those 3DS titles.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

COMG net custumers are much more Sony oriented I think. And Nintendo gamers probably don't pre-order as much too - the hardcore of the hardcores usually is not on Nintendo.

Yes, but I still expected it to at least pick up the titles in some way...

It's just COMGnet. Amazon's ranking showed Art Academy, Samurai Warriors Chronicles 2nd and Medarot 7 on the highest spots the week before released. 

If you see a Nintendo platform game in COMG it means that the game will sell a lot.

I can't believe those awful TTT2 numbers. :(

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.


Plenty of people are not willing to pay full price for a videogame when it releases unless it's really special (I'm one of those people!)  It just makes no sense unless you're incredibly hyped for it to not wait 1 month and have £10+ knocked off the price.

What does that have to do with how well the Vita is doing, though?  If you're hyped for a game you're hyped for a game, regardless of how many other people are buying the system.

On topic though, this.  Much lower numbers than I was expecting, even after following the COMG! chart.  Seems the bigger fighter franchises have really fallen out of favour lately.  Will have to see how DOA5 compares.



I was expecting a bit more hype for TTT2 in Japan.



Taiko's already at 200k

This game opened with 60k... so cool! Now there's a fun game that would be great to have translated. Even if it looks like a screen destroyer
