SS delta is tracking around the same as the original did I think.


The original had price cut + bundle + dual pack.  It's also 9 points behind with 1 day left.  Delta isn't going to do close to the original.

And besides, it's nice for games to do well on COMG!

Awesome day for MGS and DS2, wish SSD, SAO and Miku did better though



So many interesting things will be happening so quickly for the Vita in the next month or so.
First off are Vita sales themselves. Last year in the 5 weeks between the price cut and the end of March, the Vita sold~220,000 units. It will be interesting to see whether the vita of 2014 can meet or Exceed that number over the next 5 weeks. starting with the Media create drop tomorrow. -Interesting note, those 5 weeks in 2013 were heavily front loaded, 2014 however is heavily back loaded. Seriously, March 17-24 is absolutely stacked for the vita:J Stars Victory Vs, Phantasy Star online 2 Episode 2, Pro Baseball Spirits 2014, Neptunia, Samouri Warriors 4, the Senran Kagura Cooking game, and Destiny of Spirits all come out, and its a holiday. We could see 80k+ vitas that week alone.

The other interesting thing over the next 5 weeks is watching the vita vs ps3. Not only watching the multiplats that come out to see which console sells more,(They will probably win an equal number of games, but the PS3 will probably have bigger margins of victory) But also watching the vita vs ps3 hardware sales with the launches aligned, as the vita of 2014 has a really good chance to pass the ps3 of 2009.

Vita hasn't seen those kind of numbers outside of 2 weeks when it launched and 2 weeks this Christmas.  I doubt software alone is going to push it to that, especially from an ~18k baseline.

What will be interesting to watch, since you raised it, is Vita 2013 vs. Vita 2014.  The next month is when Vita found itself in Japan thanks to the price cut + software and really took off.  However, in the first 2 months of 2014 Vita has done vastly better than the comparative months in 2013, so I'm guessing they'll pretty much cancel each other out by the end of March.

So after March, we'll have to see where things are at.  Personally, I reckon 2014 will do miles better because the console seems to have found a more stable baseline this year compared to last year after the price cut.  Plus April & May have a few pieces of compelling software (Sword Art; Neptunia; To Love Ru etc.) which 2013 didn't have.  Hopefully it can keep that up throughout the year and we'll see it up YoY yet again, though the slim launch is going to be difficult to contend against.



I truly hope my comments regarding Hatsune Miku aren't the reason pre orders dropped like that.

Dark Souls 2 really underperforming. That's disappointing, but they have been giving the series a more western focus lately.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!



Someone prefered to buy MGS on PS4



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

 

Can SSD top next week's chart, I don't think Ar no Surge has a chance there.
Nearly every PSV game had points this day.
And Island tour didn't get points too, I don't know if it was because of the harsh critics it got. I thought Japanese don't follow reviews.
