[Shellshock929]

What is that Vita game that was released?

[PSFan]

Dynasty Warriors bomba'd pretty hard. I guess series fatigue is starting to kick in

[jonno394]

It's a good job the Vita got a bump as the wii would've overtaken it otherwise.

[ganbareneopokekun]

dat vita bump

edit : beaten

[Sammy Samusu]

Trinity bump, oh oh oh.

[Cygnus X-1]

I'm really happy for Fire Emblem. I would have bet a sub-50k performance. And next week is Golden Week, i.e. it could reach 400k.

[Kenka]

Oh...

[Vic]

VIITTAAAAAA!!!!!

[BadWolf]

Big bumps for PS family all around since last week, nice.

Looks like the Vita still has a chance if they release friggin games.

[KillerMan91]

ORC having bigger first week than Revelations...

[Exterminieren]

Not a bad week, to be fair. Horrible to see Operation Raccoon City do so well, but the PSP titles did pretty nicely, all told. Quite telling that the Holy Trinity and Kid Icarus rose in sales, but still fell in position. Is it legitimate to place Kid Icarus amongst the Trinity at this point?

BTW, when was the last time we've had this many new titles in a week?

EDIT: PS2> 360 LET'S DO IT.

[muu]

ORC probably selling for the same reason it did well in the states. Ciel no Surge really went above my expectations, crash reports keep rolling in though (even after an emergency patch update) and I have to wonder if it'll be another factor that slows vita sales going forward.

I'm really happy for Fire Emblem. I would have bet a sub-50k performance. And next week is Golden Week, i.e. it could reach 400k.

From what I've heard it's been out of stock everywhere this week.

[jigglywiggly]

Fuck ORC, I'm more concerned at how highly Conception charted.

[DrWong]

[3DS] Super Mario 3D Land # <ACT> (Nintendo) {2011.11.03} (¥4.800) - 15.696 / 1.534.999 (+8%) [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G # <ACT> (Capcom) {2011.12.10} (¥5.800) - 13.578 / 1.416.873 (+4%) [3DS] Mario Kart 7 <RCE> (Nintendo) {2011.12.01} (¥4.800) - 11.666 / 1.672.424 (+7%) [3DS] Kid Icarus: Uprising <ACT> (Nintendo) {2012.03.22} (¥5.800) - 11.537 / 243.095 (+6%)

How ? Why ?

Kid Icarus is in the same league as the holy trinity (up). Big legs?

[Kenka]

Jesus, fuck, ORC

ORC having bigger first week than Revelations...

[test_account]

Very good Fire Emblem and Ciel No Surge sales :)

[Cygnus X-1]

I don't get the PSP: why have its sales doubled from 11k to 22k?

[Shellshock929]

How ? Why ? Kid Icarus is in the same league as the holy trinity (up). Big legs?

It needs the big legs. No one can let it go away for 20 more years.

[TheBaldEmperor]

PSV above 10k, no longer doomed. Lol. Sad to see RE:ORC selling so well though.

Hopefully there is a sharp drop with the next week of numbers. Are people just buying it because it has Resident Evil in the title? Seriously. Anyone know what Capcom's expectations are for the game?

[Spiegel]

I don't get the PSP: why have its sales doubled from 11k to 22k?

New hardware bundles

RE:ORC FW > known RE:R LTD sales

[Shellshock929]

Very good Fire Emblem and Ciel No Surge sales :)

I wonder if Fire Emblem will join the Trinity.

[Zeer0id]

How ? Why ? Kid Icarus is in the same league as the holy trinity (up). Big legs?

That is interesting, yes...

But it could just be the effects of golden week, too early to tell if it has legs.

[Carl]

Dat Vita bump!

+ Holy FUCKBALLS Resident Evil did well.

[Cygnus X-1]

Trinity bump, oh oh oh.

You may add Kid Icarus to the trinity now.

[Burai]

Looks like the Vita still has a chance if they release friggin games.

WHO KNEW?!?!?!

[Cygnus X-1]

New hardware bundles RE:ORC FW > known RE:R LTD sales

How many bundles did Sony produce during the lifetime of the PSP I wonder? Something like 30 or 40?

[slaughterking]

Man, these ORC sales are bumming me the fuck out. If not even Japan rejects terrible, outsourced shooter spin-offs all hope is lost. lol

[test_account]

I wonder if Fire Emblem will join the Trinity.

It could be, at least for a while. It has DLC, so it could be that many people keep their copies instead of selling them (so that used game sales eats into new game sales).

I'm also curious about the legs of Mario Party 9.

[snap0212]

I bet even Capcom is surprised.

[BurntPork]

Why oh why did ORC do so well? ;-------------;

RIP, Resident Evil as we know it, hello more CoD Zombies, the franchise...

[Kenka]

Where is #20 ?

[Cygnus X-1]

From what I've heard it's been out of stock everywhere this week.

Are you saying that Nintendo did not restock the game for Golden Week?? Are they nuts??

[wrowa]

It's relieving to see that Fire Emblem is still selling really well. I had fears that it might be much more frontloaded than its precedessors, but the second week sales are still pretty strong.

Let's see if the stock problems will be solved in a timely fashion, but in the long run sales should top 400k in any case.

[allan-bh]

I'm very, very impressed with these RE Raccon City sales.

[AndrewDean84xX]

PSP still on fire.

[Truth101]

Are you saying that Nintendo did not restock the game for Golden Week?? Are they nuts??

It will get restocked 5/5

[KillerMan91]

RE6 will be huge...

[Somnid]

What is the appeal of ORC? How could Capcom dupe so many people into buying it?
