And this is why you do NOT release Diagaea 5 on the same day as Bloodborne -_-

Other than that, really good PS4 sales and Vita sales are decent, too (I was hoping SAO would bring it over 30K, but alas).

Now now, let's not kid ourselves when it comes to the ultra mega hyper disaster that we call the Xbox One.

lol!

Good numbers for Bloodborne, but sad for Disgaea... hope it has some sort of legs, but if anything there is still the US release which could help them afterall..

Too bad GE2:RB fell off the chart so quick since it's probably still higher. Also games like GE2, Freedom Wars, FF X/X-2 HD, SAO, etc. will get a pretty big bump when the Media Create 1000 for 2014 comes out.

A GE3 potentially in 2016/2017 with a user base over 5mil can do significantly better than this list, i think it could be vita's biggest game with around 600k-700k in japan lifetime.

a P5 Crimson would also be a good 500k+

Read my post again. If you only compare to past generation......

3DS will be about 65-70% of DS. That's not doing extremely well, especially considering the numbers are propped up by all the revisions.

The DS had plenty of revisions, the same amount as the 3DS in fact.

There was the ugly DS at launch in December 2004 and the DSlite afterward in March 2006. DSi was released in November 2008.

There's a stark difference between that release schedule than what Nintendo did with 3DS. Launched in 2011, first remodel in 2012. 2DS launched in 2013 (irrelevant for Japan, but it still exists) and the new3DS launched in 2014. The overall number isn't as important as their freqency imo.

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I still believe in a Monster Hunter Vita... :(




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

I still don't understand why the various trackers have such differing results, especially on numbers that aren't huge to begin with.

These sales for PS4 are God-tier. Soon it will be ahead of WiiU at last!



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

I don't think either of those things will happen.  God Eater 1 was the height of the franchise 617k (God Eater 2 has almost surpassed it across 2 platforms, though), and that was at a time when the genre was rampant on PSP, propped up by actual MonHun on the platform too.

I kinda feel like the genre is beginning to decline now.  We're seeing G games that aren't coming close to their original releases and stuff like that.

It's a shoe-in for 500k+ if it releases, but I wouldn't expect much more than that.

I also think that's too much to expect from a Persona 5 re-release.  I know the brand has grown in recent years, but there's no timeframe they could get it out on Vita for that wouldn't be too close to the original game's release.
