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.

I meant May!!!! O.o 

3DS should stay above 30k from now on imo, maybe dip underneath last week of may only to rise up again for persona. July will be one hell of a month for 3DS, maybe see 100k 3DS weekly :p

Seems optimistic, but maybe.  Is there any software coming out that could support that?  Can't see anything on COMG.

Theatrythm?

Free until March 2015?  That's a long time.  I don't think that will help short term sales.  People will just wait until next year.

Also, didn't that promotion start this week?  I thought you said that earlier in the thread.

Finally, hardware would be up in Golden Week whether or not Mario Golf was releasing.  I don't think it'll do much for legs judging by the sales of the previous games.  Who knows.
