3DS low but number one, good.

Wii U on the other hand...

GOOO Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment!!!!!

Party party!! 

Perfect prediction!  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6229025

Damm! SAO fanbase  already had a Vita :( 

Well Sony you should learn from nitendo how to make People buy your Device:  ~3 Bundles and ~4 promotions or so per year for the Vita, that´s too low!

Where are the sanctions? Japan is clearly committing hate crimes against home consoles.

I think I might need to get a Vita soon. With the remote play feature and all the good RPGs on that system it just seems like no brainier at this point. Will need to see how much time exactly I would even get with the system. I don't even have much time to play my PS4.

Edited OP.

Right, onto the stuff I couldn't post before.

Very good opening for Sword Art Online. I wasn't expecting that at all. Smaller userbase + more than a year since anime finished + mostly the same as previous game just with tweaks and a new area = I was expecting lower sales. When in fact, it opened higher than the previous game. Great.

Shame it didn't have such a big effect on hardware, but I guess that's just ammo for Bamco that they have the anime fanbase on Vita already (bad thing for hardware sales; good thing for software sales).

Good opening for Theatrhythm too. Higher than the last game, showing growth in the IP which is all they can ask for really. Seems they shipped a bit too much though.

3DS boost is nice as well. Glad to see something doing well in Japan.

On the flipside, kinda ehh for BlazBlue. Up over the previous Vita port, but not by much. Decent enough for Famicom. Another bomba from Nippon Ichi though (what's going on with them lately?) and pretty poor from MapleStory too.

And PS4 & WiiU. Poor PS4 & WiiU.

How is the promotion handled?  There's a ~19k difference in Media Create & Famitsu numbers this week for Youkai Watch.  Seeing as how that's pretty much double the gap compared to every other game (Sword Art Online = ~9k), could be that they're counting it already somehow.

Most likely not, cuz look at last weeks numbers O.o (beside its digital promotion only, so i doubt it)

Media: 34.690    Famitsu:  49.146 

Almost a 20k difference this week, last week almost a 15k. So it started last week, Weird lol

Hmm, fair enough.  I was just wondering because we know Famitsu track download cards.

Oh well.  I wonder why they're tracking it so much higher.

Yeah, its digital voucher only an you get to choose between AC or YW from Apr26-May 31st.

Also SAO did extremely well lol! My original prediction was 150k-180k. Dmn fake leak :-/

Nt trying to put down vita but despite one of the biggest vita games this year (we currently kno of), it didn't give the vita the boost we all expected! Its at 23-25k this week, wat games are there coming out in March? It might fall unless it maintains 20k a week.

We already have the consoles doing awful (especially WiiU), 3DS looked like it was heading down, but i have a good feeling it'll be 30k+ from now on.

Yeah, I'm surprised it didn't boost hardware more, too.  I guess SAO's fanbase is already firmly on Vita (like I was discussing with you a while ago, Sony really need to go after games that cater to a different audience for Vita).

I don't know what's coming in March 2015.  That's a while off.  If I were to take a guess, I'd say: Soul Sacrifice 2; Hatune Miku 3 and Phantasy Star Online 2 Episode 3.

If you meant to ask what is coming in May, then not much.  You can see them all in COMG already pretty much.  Moero Chronicle in the middle of the month and then a few games at the end of the month (To Love Ru; Hyperdimension Neptunia; Nobunaga's Ambition; Arcana Heart 3).

Nothing that's going to boost hardware in any event.  But I think Vita has found more stability this year than last year and shouldn't tumble to 10k again quite so easily.  Although there's always a big old slump after Golden Week, so we could well be seeing sub 20k from everything soon.
