Apparently X Zone did more than 50k. Super niche, 0 marketing and on it's 1st 11 days. 

That's actually pretty good. I'm sure localization was dirt cheap. Game came out subbed with JP voices. I hope SMT does 100k with the CN promotion. I actually expect SMTIV to have some decent legs (for a SMT game) until August as that deal becomes more known.

Makes me wonder how Bravely Default will do. That artstyle is more Nintendo-ish if ya know what I mean.

Anyways, good for Monolith. I'll def buy their next 3DS title.

You know what's really impressive though? Project X Zone did better numbers in 11 days than Soul Sacrifice did for a whole month. (Retail numbers)

That would put 360 at about 8m and PS3 at 10m, ya I can see it

I think the "games sell systems" bit is a little overrated.

The right GAME + some supporting titles drive hardware sales.

The 3DS had Luigi's Mansion and DKC and Fire Emblem earlier in the year and was still flat YoY or down.

Animal Crossing is what finally gave the 3DS a month which was a clear rise YoY.

It's like building a sports team, you need the superstar player to build the team around.

I was banned for 3 days, because I said the Vita is dead and I don't want to get banned again, but I don't see any positive news for it.
Sony basically skipped it at E3 and even the most vocal and hardcore Sony fans on VGC just ignore it as if it never released. It is selling 5k a week in the USA. And Sonys own forecast is like 4 million globally for the entire year. That is just horrible.

Do you think Sony might discontinue it afterall?

It did pass it. TLOU sold more than 360.

Well, the 3DS is good (but bad if you look at VGC), PS3 is bad (worse if you look at VGC), and PSV is just dead. I love my Vita, but I don't see how anything could turn it around now...

At least the Wii U has a (slim) chance of redemption.

I really hope not :(

It is a great piece of hardware and I am still amazed by it , it is a shame they are not releasing more cool software for it (even though I am satisfied with the software for now).

I hope Tearaway & Killzone can help boost the sales a little (but im thinking those 2 games wont be exactly system sellers even though they look good).

I can't believe the DS is outselling the Vita 2:1 

I'm talking about The Last Of US not being enough to help the PS3 pass 360 in months NPD

I see where ur coming from but I think early 2012 was still riding on the success of price cut+3D Land+Mario Kart also first half of 2012 had a decent line up of Iits own, Kid Icarus, Revelations, 2012 Olympics, Mario Tennis

Early 2013 had a similar line up quality wise but it holiday 2012 only had Paper Mario so that could be part of the reason why the beginning of this year was down.
