I'm not shocked at Vita TV, I still think it's a ridiculous concept. Why people thought it made more sense than a 2DS is strange. It reminds me of the PSP Go

I agree. Why would anyone want portable games that are not portable? I guess there are a lot of other capabiities but still, playing on a regular Vita is more convenient.

Quite nice for GE2. Got it but haven't played very much yet, but graphically speaking it's amazing.

The fact is that vita has some exclusive content (Gravity Rush, Soul Sacrifice etc, Tearaway) which is defintely worth playing and in Japan in particular there is more coming (GR2, Phantasy Star), but for many people the price of entry of a vita is too high to justify for just those games. However, Vita TV lowers that barrier considerably and should get more people in playing those games and increasing the install base which increases the likelihood of VIta getting more exclusives from third parties in the future, hopefully creating a virtuous cycle of progressive increasing sales. Add to that the other reasons why you might want one (say you have 1 PS4 but want to use it in another room, you can reasonably cheaply buy a Vita TV to do this) and I think you have a formula for modest success which won't suddenly cause a vita craze, but which will improve the vita's prospects. The key is price - Vita TV is a much more viable impulse purchase than the existing handheld model

It's sad but because somes games are great it dosn't mean it will sold well,people buy console for big ip no metter if the new IP are better then thoses people will still buy the more popular games.

Sure vita tv will help vita but without big IP like Final Fantasy and Monster Hunter it will never can compete 3ds.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I see. I didn't think it like that, that's a solid point.

I know what you mean, it is sad that so many people only look to really well known games when they go shopping, but on the plus side vita's dedicated fan base and high attach rate mean that even with these slightly less famous games, I think it is still possible for Vita to build an install base which has a respectable size and which buys a decent number of games

I know with this kind of support i see psvita sold every week 20k outside holiday but if Vita had big ip it would do at least 50k every week.

Of course, but even without those it can still be successful enough to live out its natural lifespan - as a vita owner I'm reasonably satisified with the prospect of that situation - it won't be huge, but there will be a reasonable flow of games, some of which will become firm favourites as Gravity Rush has for me already



Puzzle Dragon Z Numero Uno!!!

Also WiiU games charting nicely

No Sony Handheld Games :P Probably have FF coming in Soon however!

One Piece!!!!!!! Move Your ***!!! My attackon titans, my yugioh Zexal, My Life!!!



Update is up. If they updated 2 days worth of numbers, then Mario numbers are just depressing.

Another WiiU game in the list though.



Proud poster of the 10000th reply at the Official Smash Bros Update Thread.

tag - "I wouldn't trust gamespot, even if it was a live comparison."

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

I must say, I didn't expect 2 Wii U games...

NintenDoomination indeed.
