Has anyone already noticed the nice Vita numbers? Nobody?


Nope but I see Dynasty Warriors 7 being #1 in the software charts...I should start getting into that series.


I'm much more interested in One Piece warriors (2) and Gundam warriors than the regular Dynasty warriors. Probably because Dynasty Warriors has been done to death with the same characters and same battles for a half dozen games now. Also Gundam is freaking awesome, you should pick up Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3.

If Far Cry 3 outsells ToHR I shoot myself. Tales fans probably don't read this site.


It's highly probable that Soul Sacrifice ate the Tales votes since only one vote is allowed and both are on the same system. Overlapping voter base. Inafune's new Monster Hunter is more exciting, and hyped up, than a remake game.

I tried both via their respective demos and honestly I found Soul Sacrifice terrible. ToHR was really cool to play on the other hand.

Maybe the Hunting action RPG genre just isn't for you then. But part of what made the Monster Hunter experience great was playing together with a bunch of friends or coworkers and yelling at each other while taking down a giant boss, as well as the feeling of soloing those really tough bosses through perfectly timed invulnerablity dodge frames and skillful combos during short openings. It's part of the reason why I love the Ys series so much as well.



So with this, Vita outsold Wii u world wide with japan alone

Sony overall sold more consoles in Japan than Nintendo this week. Now let's hope the vita can keep it up in the coming weeks! Also, PS3 Numbers are actually pretty good. Really excited for the WW numbers.

HA! I knew Sony boss was talking about shipments, and not actual sales to the costumers!
Near 4x the last two weeks = ~70k... so 62k is close to what he said.... not shipped.

Vita sales are okay. Hopefully they keep the momentum into March-April. I have high hopes for Soul Sacrifice - first game that might be able to do 100k first week.

no, it's a new franchise, so it won't have a big first week, but may do better over time

Yeah, everyone misinterpreted what he said -- starting with Gematsu, who translated the initial report.
