Were there any Vita games last month? And those exsisting likely didn't sell enough. All we know is NFS Vita>NFS Wii U


Two: MLB '13 and Dead or Alive 5+.

And honestly, it would be nice to get some kind of indication of numbers of them from NPD if we can.  MLB is being tracked here, but DOA5+ is yet another Vita game that VGChartz has completely ignored in tracking (the last being Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2+).

At least last month we got an indication of NGS2+'s sales (they were awful; 3k from about 3 days worth of sales) but at least we knew.  If VGChartz can bother to track Most Wanted U's sales AND we get a confirmation of < 10k from NPD; it shouldn't be too much hassle to get low numbers from another game.

I don't expect much.  I just want to know!  Especially since we get Media Create so we know how it did in Japan (~ 20k).

Seriously someone explain the rise in wii sales.

There was no rise.  It is down YoY, as well as MoM for both total and weekly sales.

Yup I realized that when I looked closely.

What started the PSP decline?

Modding.    Well, at first in the short run it began to increase the sales of the device due to being able to play anything for free, and even get emulators for other consoles.  the bad thing was that later, due to sales of games being crap; publisher stopped releasing AAA quality games for the device, and so, new gamers did not had the incentive to buy the PSP which no longer has a healthy release of quality games; and because of that PSP sales went to hell.

And this perception the publishers had of the PSP, is hurting the VITA too because they think their games cant sell good numbers in the Sony's portable, and also now due to the low sales of the device, they have another reason to ignore it.

People were waiting last year for WiiU, but now they have lost interest and think Wii is a better purchase. 

I disagree. The Wii has just been very heavily pushed here as of late. It's a mighty fine investment!

That and people getting confused between Wii and Wii U, no doubt.

In which way? I don't believe that.

Damn it, I misread a previous post when listing my estimates for Tomb Raider, GoW:A & GeoW:J and got it wrong. I thought it said TR outsold GoW:A which outsold GeoW:J and that from 600k they all sold in increments of 10k. So all the games actually sold between 600-700k correct? Tomb Raider probably sold around 690,000 (if Vgchartz is accurate) so that would put God of War: Ascension at about 680,000 (undertracked by almost 100,000 on Vgchartz) and Gears of War: Judgment at roughly 670,000 (undertracked by almost 70,000).

I want to see the official numbers, it seems both the GoW's did a lot better than many people thought they would and Vgchartz needs to do some updating. I hope game sites that reported on the bollocks estimates from Cowen and Company stop calling both games flops and report on the actual data. GoW:A did more than double what that clueless analyst estimated.

I agree.
