先週の本体実績はその前の週の1.5倍、本当に「Vita」が元気になりました。

http://gamesmaya.blog98.fc2.com/

This blog says the Vita sold 1.5x the units compared to last week... in this store (not others).

A good sign.


I read the entry and yeah, he's saying Soul Sacrifice and Vita have been selling steady, increasing in sales. He pointed out that in particular middleschool to highschoolers were buying the system with the game, a key demographic that pushed Monster Hunter and PSP to massive popularity a few years ago. If Vita can pick this group up once again for Soul Sacrifice it could be huge, because until now it's been mostly a system for older gamers. But yeah this is just one shop so no basis to get excited yet.


WHo is this guy ? Reliable ?



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

He is a manager in a store called "Games Maya"? I don't if I'm right but is close to that.

Store manager for Games Ma-Ya, a fairly large game shop in Tokyo. I've read his blog entries before, never actually gone to the store though.

OT: great news for Soul Sacrifice. Looking at previous installments, I would assume that Hatsune Miku opened at about 150k minimuim, so could it  be possible that SS first week is above 150k ? And the double pack not included, I dunno If I believe that, but It would be awesome.


This is the first Miku game on consoles though, and it's a port (enhanced port?) of a Vita game.  Wouldn't necessarily count on it doing that much.

Yeah, you're probably right, but I believe(not really) so I'm sticking to 150k.Honestly though, I can't see Miku doing less than 100k (even as a port). The only thing we know is that animal crossing is probably at 70k so Soul Sacrifice is above 70k,but we'll find out for sure Tommorow.
