Even Xbox 360 has a better line-up than Wii U...
It`s still hard to believe how Wii U did better there than in Europe.

Since I don't know about which Japanese games sell:

- Is there enough there to keep the 30k Vita momentum?
- Does the PS3 lineup have a chance at overshadowing PS4?


To be honest, the current Vita lineup for April and May are a bit weak, unless there are some last minute announcements for new releases. The next big month will be June. Unless the current software lineup is enough to keep sales up by themselves, it will likely dip below 30k this month since none of the titles would be big system sellers. Valhalla Knights is the biggest game for the next two months and that doesn't really say too much. Photokano and Nyaruko are wild cards since they both have an anime series airing, which could boost popularity.

It's difficult to make a good call at this point about PS3 overshadowing PS4 launch, since the lineup around the launch is still very vague. Some PS4 titles are going to be on PS3 as well. It's going to come down to exclusives and just how appealing the new console is, including price point, to justify multiplats. I still haven't seen any PS4 launch titles that are going to be explosive in Japan, they've all been very Western oriented. Maybe if they finally announce that Final Fantasy...



Hopefully it dont fall below 20k, its the limit.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

 

Nifty thread, Baldr.

Anyone know how big Sengoku Basara is in Japan? I remember the anime seemed to be very Three Kingdoms-ish. Of course, roughly half of all new anime/games from Japan are based on Three Kingdoms characters.

You're going to get moderated for having a sig too large.

Sayonara Umihara Kawase got a release date. 27th of June. (???)


Now I'm curious where you got that information from, haven't seen it anywhere.

Although it wouldn't surprise me.


I think that it might just be Amazon listing it for that date temporarily and on the page there was written something about soundtrack, so I thought it was just the soundtrack, but it's the game with the sound track.

If there was a dancing smiley, I'd post it here.
