Woah, very surprised to see vice city get some love. Can't believe there are non-used copies left.

There were really some very uninformed predictions. To be honest PSV this week sold exactly what I anticipated in fact I even was spot on with 60k units and thought that some ridiculously low estimates were made by uninformed people and people lowballing on purpose.

PSV2000 launched with 6 different colors and 14 games (4 of them new)

We have seen time and time again that even something as little as a new color pushes handheld sales and PSV has been no exception so far, in this case we even had 6 at the same time and on top of that even a revision.

So I couldn´t take anyone seriously that expected this weeks PSV numbers to be lower than what the complete bomb PSPgo did in its first week.

Please,

with thread like this. Obviously people would lower there prediction.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=170040&page=1#

I don't call that Uninformed.

And with LCD vs Oled debacle.

 

In fact that proofs my point. Or did you see huge lines whenever 3DS sold over 50k units on a regular week? This shows that some simply just have no idea. Neither this weeks PSV hardware sales nor PSV software warranted big lines. Sales just weren´t that good to make it possible. But going from no big lines to expecting it doing noticeably worse than PSPgo is really quite a leap. That´s something only uninformed people would expect and people lowballing for obvious reasons would tell in my opinion.

About "datOled" debacle. Surprise no one cares besides some nerds and fans that hype everything. Just take a look at threads about PSV2000 and you will see alot of people that hyped "datOled" having no problem with the revision.

Dude, you keep calling people "uninformed", but you've provided no compelling evidence on why your guess was more educated than others'. Your reasons don't add up no matter how many times you repeat them. The whole revision model argument based on pspgo numbers is weak. The pspgo did similar numbers when the psp was a hot item. The vita hasn't ever been popular anywhere (apart from launch week, when it was still beaten by 3ds). Similarly, previous ninty handhelds were always popular, so a new model actually made sense to sell well. You keep forgetting that the new model's release concided with the release of Pokemon, which made 3ds an even more pupular item. Even when the psvita had its first important price cut and a huge exclusive with good sales (Soul Sacrifice), it did around 60k. And we've seen diffrent colours move some hardware, but not to this extent.

 

Just because you got the numbers right, that doesn't make you smarter or your accusations of "lowballing" valid. I've predicted sales of both hardware and software correctly based on false assumptions, while people who knew more than I did got it wrong. It still doesn't make my prediction(s) any better; it was more of a lucky guess. Same with you. Your pspgo argument makes no sense, your OLED argument about nerds is pure speculation apart from insulting and your prediction was thus accurate for all the wrong reasons.

Feel free to believe that your opinion is better than others. Freedom of speech and all that jazz. 

 

OT: Really happy both for the vita and gta5 selling so well. Can't wait to see if the psvita will have a similar impact. Also nice to see some vita games pulling decent numbers, even surpassing the ps3 versions. Pokemon numbers are great (more than any ps3 game has ever sold), but still expected a bit more. Definitely gonna have to buy a 3ds and see how much it has improved over the years.

Ah, sad to see Wii U set the bottom record for Vita and Wii U. Hopefully next week is not to bad.

It's only a mention. #50 is Pikmin 3, it's very likely that Vice City did not charted, they won't be able to sell what has not been in production for years.

Regarding the PS2 game on the chart.

Lots of stores here in Japan still carry new PS2 games, usually "Best" versions.

Many larger stores even carry a small selection of new copies of PS1 games. "Best" versions of Final Fantasy VII, Vagrant Story, etc.

I am not sure if these are just leftover stock, if Sony still supplies copies from a warehouse somewhere, or if they do small runs from time to time.
