I'm not certain if it's Pokemon next week... Also, Persona may sell only 90k and not boost the Vita at all, in which case it'd be more doom-and-gloom as per usual. I think DQX and NSMB2 will be the next 'big' threads, becase everyone knows Pokemon will be massive! |
The problem for the vita at the moment is it's base sales are so low that Persona would need to pretty much triple the already boosted sales from the release of Gundam to even pull in a good week. The 3DS was still often around 25-30k pre-price cut when it was struggling and higher in weeks with bigger releases. I would say if Persona pushes the vita to 30k in a week then it is okay. 35-40k and it's good. Anything less and it's bad.
Had a look and apparently FF11 did 64k first week. However that game had a problem in that the PS2 couldn't play it out of the box. Square stated that at 200k of subscribers they were breaking even.
I would say if DQX can manage 200k first week then it's great. 150k would be okay. 100k would be pretty bad. Although I do wonder how the impending Wii U release will affect it. I would think a lot of gamers in the know would be okay about waiting until it got a HD release.
