4Gamer will be updated 15:00 Japan time?

[weeaboo]

Where are our numbers?!?!?

[Mpl90]

At this point, I hope someone else, such as inside-games, or gamespot, releases the numbers earlier. Even just the top 10 with numbers and hardware.

[Chris1964]

4Gamer will be updated 15:00 Japan time?

15:00 Japan time, meaning 15 hours from now, meaning the exact time it was updated last year, meaning someone else will have to start the new thread.

[duckroll]

4Gamer will be updated 15:00 Japan time?

Or at some time after that. It won't be updated before that.

[mikeybwright]

Where are our numbers?!?!?

The perfect .gif for how I feel right now, can't wait for the numbers!!! Only recently became interested in sales-age but it's addicting.

[walking fiend]

I don't believe MH4 is coming out at the end of 2012 either.

I don't believe it will come sooner, and if it doesn't indeed come sooner, 3G will pass 2m easily.

[allan-bh]

So, the numbers will coming at 01:00 EST

I wish it was sooner.

[BurntPork]

Ugh. We need to know if Vita improved...

[Mpl90]

Ugh. We need to know if Vita improved...

Now that you said it, I'm predicting a 360 like result for Vita this week.

[electroplankton]

..or just waiting some more hours?

[Cfuentes]

The numbers!!! the numbers of doom!

[Mpl90]

..or just waiting some more hours?

But waiting so many hours (excluding hours of sleeping, obviously XD )... too much XD

At least, if we continue to talk in this thread, there's a possibility for this to become the longest MC thread EVER. :D

[Road]

I might be one hour earlier if Inside Games, Gpara or gamespot.jp post them (but they don't normally report hardware sales).

Take a nap, or a walk.

[Mpl90]

Naaaah, there's Pushmo waiting for me...but above all studying for an exam next week. It's not that I don't have anything to do, you know...

[Boss Doggie]

So does this mean the next Media Create will compose of Dec 26 up to next day?

[Mpl90]

So does this mean the next Media Create will compose of Dec 26 up to next day?

Yes, as it's always been.

[chubigans]

I Believe in the Vita.™

[Doogdogg]

is the week leading to new year the biggest week usually?

[Mpl90]

is the week leading to new year the biggest week usually?

It's lower than the week which this topic is referring to, but it's still really big.

[Alrus]

is the week leading to new year the biggest week usually?

Not really, the week after christmas is usually quieter. Still pretty big.

[AndrewDean84xX]

Will the Vita do more or less than 70k?

[weeaboo]

Will the Vita do more or less than 70k?

Less.

[duckroll]

I don't believe it will come sooner, and if it doesn't indeed come sooner, 3G will pass 2m easily.

With a discounted re-release, yes.

[walking fiend]

With a discounted re-release, yes.

I guess this week, and next two weeks numbers should be telling if it manages to do so without them or not. Till now, it has had a very good leg.

[duckroll]

If Capcom is smart, we'll never find out. Because a cheap re-release later this year will give the title a solid boost with the much larger 3DS userbase by then.

[Nirolak]

I don't believe MH4 is coming out at the end of 2012 either.

Do you suspect they will go a full fiscal year without a major Monster Hunter release?

If they have Resident Evil 6 for next fiscal year, that would likely sell enough to absorb the shock, but it still seems a bit risky from a growth path perspective, especially in terms of their Japanese operations.

Their fiscal year ends in March, though...

[Nirolak]

True, so it could release then.

I was wondering about that as well though with the question.

They could just release a spin-off, MH3G the Best of and there you have your annual MH money. I see MH4 much more in 2013 than 2012.

MHP2nd to MH3 was 1 year 5 months.

MHP2nd to MHP3rd was 2 years 9 months.

[allan-bh]

I think Vita number will be ridiculous.

Let's wait and see.

[Ragus]

30k for Vita.

[Mpl90]

I think Vita number will be ridiculous. Let's wait and see.

I think there's a possibility they could not drop sto fast this week. Isn't this usually a good week for Sony's consoles?

[PSFan]

I can't wait for the meltdowns that will happen if Vita is lower than last week

[AndrewDean84xX]

I can't wait for the meltdowns that will happen if Vita is lower than last week

In all seriousness, shouldn't it be? I mean, everything will have lower numbers this week from last week, I would think.

Will the Vita sell more tha 10k?

[Road]

The PS3 first dropped under 10k in May, 2007.

The PSP first dropped under 10k in... Never.

[allan-bh]

I can't wait for the meltdowns that will happen if Vita is lower than last week

Will be, week 52 isn't that strong.

[AndrewDean84xX]

The PS3 first dropped under 10k in May, 2007. The PSP first dropped under 10k in... Never.

Did those two see a drop like the Vita had from week 1 to week 2?

[jcm]

I can't wait for the meltdowns that will happen if Vita is lower than last week

Don't be silly.

Will the Vita sell more tha 10k?

Don't be silly.

[iceatcs]

I can't wait for the meltdowns that will happen if Vita is lower than last week

I don't think it will more meltdown than if Vita is higher than last week.
Although under 10k might do.

[Gaborn]

I don't think it will more meltdown than if Vita is higher than last week. Although under 10k might do.

Under 10k would be INSANE.

[allan-bh]

Under 10k would be INSANE.

Under 10k in january or february

[Sadist]

Are you people mad? Vita won't do sub 10k. More in the range off 50-68k.

[Gaborn]

Under 10k in january or february

That's possible. I guess I just would be very surprised right now since it's so close to launch. I think going forward we'll likely see it, but THIS soon would honestly shock me. It's not 10k it's when it occurs.

[Vinci]

Are you people mad? Vita won't do sub 10k. More in the range off 50-68k.

Just above 40k is what I'm thinking. But yet, below 10k? No way.

[Anth0ny]

Below 10k would be APOCALYPTIC

I'm thinking around 40k.

[Takao]

MHP2nd to MH3 was 1 year 5 months. MHP2nd to MHP3rd was 2 years 9 months.

Are you trying to say the G iterations aren't major?
