Might as well say what I said on GAF:

Senran Kagura bombed. No two ways about it. That's a terrible number.

Bombed in comparison to the Vita game or to the first 3DS game?

Sony should make a Freedom Wars anime, that will provide quite the boost to the game.

Anyway, YW2 is beasting as always, and Senran Kagura did a little below of what I expected (I expected 55k).
I feel sorry for Lost Dimension, that game looks very good, hopefully is localized

So much Nintendo domination! YAY!

A minute of silence for the PS4 guys... The situation in Japan is not looking good...

On the plus side we finally got another Japanese PS4 game announced... kinda =P

P.T or Silent Hills as its actually called is in development, we just have to wait... like every other Japan centric game.

I would love another silent hill game on ps4 they are my favorite.

No kidding! But the new Silent Hill has to be like the older ones if it's going to be any good.

Dont you think the word Bomb is overrated? I mean if This game bombed wat about many many many others? Not saying it did well because it did underperform (and its not like its a game i care for) but my god 46k  FW while the other 2 3ds games did 69k/51k.

I dont kno why but i think alot of people are blowing this out of the water. Seriously even if the game was expected to do 60k-80k, 46k isnt even half of that. 

Its GT6 all over again O.o, it didn't bomb, it underperformed!!! I could see if This game did under 20k to call it a flop/bomb, but its barely 10% down from the last game>_<

The vita game did 90k FW, even if we compare it to that, is 46k really a bomb O.o (comparing it to the other 3ds games, it isnt bad at all 69k/51k)

Actually there is 2 3DS games and 1 Vita game before this one to compare it too.

Also GT6 did bomb, HARD! But then again we all expected it to.

Why not compare FW instead? (90k: Vita) (69k/51k: 3DS) Not a bomb.

Would you call Mario+Luigi Dream Team a Bomb in japan? (102k FW vs 212k for Bowser's Inside Story)

There should be a difference between Bomb/Flop and underperforming. If people see something not do as good, they raise up the "Bomb" flag up way to quick!

Lowest sales of a Senran Kagura game yet.  Previous low was the first one on 3DS (51k).

It's not like it's really going to make it up through legs either.  People know about Senran Kagura now, they know what it is and what to expect from it.
