I know everyone is focused on the vita numbers but hardware numbers for the PS3 look good, up about 7k since last week, any particular reason?

The top game seller this week... over 200k... Dynasty Warriors 7.

Guys... that's just make my prediction to this year PS3 sales catch the last year PS3 sales easy.

+ Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness (PS3), due this Fall
+ The Guided Fate Paradox (PS3), due this Fall
+ Time and Eternity (PS3), due this Summer

Three exclusives JRPG coming this year to PS3.

The top seller last week... over 300k... MGSR.

Dynasty Warriors shifts consoles and MGSR doesn't?

Don't think Tales is, Soul Sacrifice is problem is pre-orders aren't that impressive.

I think Soul Sacrifice will have the best first week for Vita in


Want to bet?

And 52%, ....pac-man? Well, I guess you've been desperately waiting for that.

 

OT: Good sales for PSV, my pessimistic prediction was around 50k, so it exceeded them.

Animal Crossing is a beast, -1%, seriousl? I wish Bruno posted more here.

Dragon Quest VII, is dropping hard probably going to crawl to 1.5m.

Mario Kart 7, NSMB2, and MH3U are up! Those legs.

WiiU up in both trackers, wondering if it has reached the base level.

Next week is going to be interesting.

He could easily have just meant last week by mistake, you know, Vita sold around 15k last week.

Vita sold 12k in MC and 11k in Famistu last week.

Hmm I thought it was closer to 15k, my apologies.

However, what you said seems pretty reasonable so I say let's just go with that



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

What is Disgaea D1 or what happened to it?

Disgaea Dimension 2: A Brighter Darkness is a direct sequel for Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (PS2)... the first Disgaea game.

The original Disgaea 2 is not a sequel for the first Disgaea... so they created the D2.

Nothing special for the Vita, it'll drop back to lol numbers soon enough.

Every Dynasty Warrior game shifts consoles... Ken, One Piece, etc... the main serie boost is the worst... you will see what the One Piece DW do to the PS3 numbers.

And Rising didn't have that hype... just some MGS fans bought the game.

Two weeks before the revision for me is w7 and w6.

Media Create: 8,044 + 8,762 = 16,806 x 4 = 67,224
Famitsu: 7,401 + 7,379 = 14,780 x 4 = 59,120

If Sony boss used Famitsu numbers then they almost match 59,120 (4x) vs 60,561 (real).

I just think everybody but some guys in GAF misinterpreted what he said .


That makes the most logical sense actually, yeah.

It's just such a fucking weird way of announcing something.  Like, why not just take week 7 numbers and say that the Vita sold 8 times more?  Combining two weeks worth of sales to say that they have quadrupled is kind of ridiculously complex when it doesn't need to be :P
