Vita in fact has a nice chance for an OK next week.

Two of its biggest games are being released today.
Other than Legend of Heroes Evolution, there's also fan-favorite Little Battlers Xperience W - also on PSP, but Vita might get a good slice of the pie. And there's also FIFA. All in all, a pretty big week for Vita.

3DS: Nothing

PSP: Same as vita minus Legend of Heroes.

I don't think LoH: E will do much. The game is just slightly improved over the PSP version which is already playable on Vita.

I'm curious how Fifa will do on PSV. Winning Eleven (PES) is the more popular series in Japan, but I think Vita is the only system it's not being released on. It's already out for the PS3 and soon the PSP, 3DS, Wii, Arcade as well as Smartphones. http://www.konami.jp/we/index.php5

Very nice opening for Bravely Default. Localisation should be a no brainer, unless SE has gone insane. In other words, I still have my doubts. :/
I really want PXZ... *sob sob*


Trust Harada.

 


I'll pray to him every night.

Japan: (Home of the handheld)

6k to 7k Vita and no Vita software in the top 20.

What chance has it got elsewhere then?


You seem to ignore the memo: Don't judge it till its first Christmas

In Japan it already had its first christmas. So this thread is ok for Sony.

I know, I know, it was only a joke.

Vita launched before Christmas last year in Japan, so it already had it's first Christmas. Maybe we need to give it another 1 or 2 Christmas holidays.

Well this battle was over a long time ago.

PSV YTD: 568,267

3DS LL YTD: 744,117

Now the race is on for LTD.

PSV LTD: 1,008,253

How soon will the 3DS LL overtake the PSV LTD?

For comparison this week:

3DS LL: 52,079 (it did have a boost this week though, last week was 39k)

PSV: 6,134

O.o

Didn't know the LL was already that close to overtaking it. Should be able to (effortlessly) by the end of December.

Before that, imo

3 bundles are coming soon. Big bundles. That 13k boost this week had will be tiny compared to that.

I really do love Japanese game names. Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. So very random.

I'm actually pretty impressed that the 360 made it to 2000+ units. Dishonoured must be a hell of a game, though some of that could be RE6 too.

As for the Vita, wow. Those are a hell of a lot lower than I thought they'd be.

Hey that's pretty good for Tokitowa!
