What happened to the Vita heaven Sony was supposed to have?
Did they totally give up on the Vita?

Its killing me to see Vita like this. I was one of those who stayed up to watch the Vita reveal (in Japanese). I was very excited. Sadly, the developer support just isn't there. I have yet to buy a Vita, and may never buy one. I have a PS3(and soon a PS4). There is little reason for me to own a Vita.

I wonder if part of the reason for 3ds boost this week was the DQVII announcement.

....and does anyone has the answer to my question above?

Yes, precisely 13,442 people bought the system after seeing the announcement on jump magazine

(no, no one will have this answer... but I suppose some people did buy a 3DS because of the announcement, but way more will buy it on the game release day. I don't believe in announcement boosts)


LOL  no that wasn't a question. I was talking about my previous post, the one about Japanese downloadable 3ds games.

Looks like mostly first party stuff from your list. It also looks like no game has launched simultaneously on the eshop and retail since NSMB2 and Brainage

Layton, Bravely Default... Encyclopedia of flora and fauna (lol), style savvy... a couple more, I think.

Yeah, they need to improve this, releasing day 1 digital. In japan it may not be as huge, but it is in the west.



Am i the only one that noticed that Xillia 2 numbers arent that great?

It sold around 150k less than Xillia 1 did on launch week.

Thing is, people were expecting much less. Just look at the predictions compiled in this thread.
