Media Create Sales: Week 12, 2012 (Mar 19 - Mar 25)

[Xisiqomelir]

Is that Icarus drop hefty? It seems like it.

[NFreak]

Dat PS Vita sales jump.

[Sammy Samusu]

Kingdom Hearts underperformed. But smaller userbase than DS (358/2) and PSP (BBS).

Monster Hunter punching!

[duckroll]

KH3D opening lower than 358 Days is.... extremely sad.

[Firemind]

Return of Pac-Man.

[AniHawk]

i think it's a safe and logical thing to say that little king story saved the vita.

[jman2050]

dat trinity

[Piercedveil]

Wow at Kingdom Hearts. I was expecting it though.
And Vita jump :O

[BassForever]

Pro Baseball Spirits 2012 seems to be the first "system mover" for Vita, 2k isn't much of a bump, but it is something.

Nice to see Kid Icarus is still holding up there, it'll probably hit 200k next week.

[weeaboo]

19./00. [PSV] The King, the Demon King and the 7 Princesses: New King Story <SLG> (Konami) {2012.03.29} (¥6.480) - 7.141 / NEW

aw :(

[duckroll]

Kingdom Hearts underperformed. But smaller userbase than DS (358/2) and PSP (BBS). Monster hunter punching!

Yeah but unlike the argument that Monster Hunter has (building up a new userbase for MH4), this is without question a disappointment for S-E. They could have made this a PSP game instead, and made it in the same amount of time, and if it is entirely a userbase issue they would have sold as much as BbS.

[Yoshichan]

15./00. [PS3] Silent Hill HD Edition <ADV> (Konami) {2012.03.29} (¥4.980) - 7.971 / NEW

Even considering that it was a shitty port, I'm still glad it managed to reach top 20.

[Mpl90]

3DS rising to the stars. KH...not as we would have hoped.
At least, Hatsune Miku is having some legs this week too. MH3G is another thing, obviously.

[mclem]

Dat PS Vita sales jump.

Wasn't there a sidebet by someone about whether the Vita would go back beyond 12k before it dropped below... 8k, I think it was?

Or possibly just a general observation along those lines?


I'm assuming this wouldn't reflect the memory card addition to the 3G deal yet? I guess we'd have to assume that Pro Baseball Spirits gave a boost... much as I'd like to believe it was all down to LKS.

Edit: WSR crawls past 900k. I think 1M is possible this year, but it's going to be at one hell of a crawl.

[Sadist]

Nice 3DS bump. And lookie there, a 2k increase for Vita!

KH 3D debut seems okay to me.

[jman2050]

Yeah but unlike the argument that Monster Hunter has (building up a new userbase for MH4), this is without question a disappointment for S-E. They could have made this a PSP game instead, and made it in the same amount of time, and if it is entirely a userbase issue they would have sold as much as BbS.

They can't keep making PSP games forever.

[Count Dookkake]

Closing the gap.

[duckroll]

They can't keep making PSP games forever.

PSP games are still being released this year. What's your point?

[Oxx]

Heart-break.

[Gaborn]

Ummmm... so I'm guessing one of the "PS3" versions of baseball spirits is PSP?

[duckroll]

Ummmm... so I'm guessing one of the "PS3" versions of baseball spirits is PSP?

Yes, the second one.

[Pureauthor]

Wow, that's... not very good for Kingdom Hearts.

PVita gaining momentum, I see.

[FoneBone]

Not good for Kingdom Hearts.

[massoluk]

Trinity is alive, Pacman is back. Getting predictable... wait, what's this? Vita jumped up?

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Yakuza Black Panther 2 seems low overall for a Ryu ga Gotoku game. Shame too as it's brilliant!

[Erethian]

Yeah but unlike the argument that Monster Hunter has (building up a new userbase for MH4), this is without question a disappointment for S-E. They could have made this a PSP game instead, and made it in the same amount of time, and if it is entirely a userbase issue they would have sold as much as BbS.

They'd have to factor in Western sales though, if we're talking about what platform the game should be released on.

[miladesn]

ouch for KH.

[duckroll]

They'd have to factor in Western sales though, if we're talking about what platform the game should be released on.

Sure. But let's see if it can sell a million in the US then.

[VOOK]

So you don't think if SE is unhappy they won't port it within 6 months?

[Meisadragon]

Slight bump for Vita, nice.

[Sadist]

Super Mario 3D Land still surprises me.

[Gaborn]

Yes, the second one.

Thanks, makes sense.

[nincompoop]

Are those good second week numbers for Kid Icarus?

[Ignis Fatuus]

Vita will never go below 10k!

So you don't think if SE is unhappy they won't port it within 6 months?

Port it to what?

[duckroll]

So you don't think if SE is unhappy they won't port it within 6 months?

KH games don't generally get ported. Remade maybe, but never ported. I guess that doesn't mean they won't start, but that wouldn't be usual.

[RurouniZel]

Not good for KH. I wonder if the bundle is included in that number. Might add an additional 20k or so if not, but still very disappointing. :-/

Port it to what?

PSP.

[Mpl90]

aw :(

Well, not that the original on Wii debuted so much better...I think it even had a lower debut.

Yes, KH didn't do as good as we were hoping, that's for sure. I don't know if consider it "disappointing" or "okaish". At least, this time, there will be really Western sales. XD

[duckroll]

Not good for KH. I wonder if the bundle is included in that number. Might add an additional 20k or so if not, but still very disappointing. :-/

Includes all bundles and special editions.

[darkwing]

Vita will never go below 10k!

what is releasing this week for the Vita?

[Firemind]

Sure. But let's see if it can sell a million in the US then.

BBS sold more than a million in Japan?

[Frillen]

A whopping 2k increase for the Vita. Saved confirmed!

Kidding aside though, disappointing for KH, but a really nice increase for the 3DS. Absolutely destroying the Vita right now.

[Kyoufu]

I expected more for KH3D. Must be the bad taste that 358/2 Days left in people's mouths. A shame because the game looks pretty good.

[BassForever]

Vita will never go below 10k!

Never say never or you may jinx it

And Little King Story very disappointing debut, even on Vita

[RurouniZel]

Includes all bundles and special editions.

Well shit, that's even worse. D: Maybe Japan is just burned out on KH?

[Brazil]

Really shitty Dream Drop Distance numbers. Not a good sign.

[Grampasso]

Uh, I wasn't expecting more from KH, guess I was the only one? O.o

[allan-bh]

Kinda disappointed with Kingdom Hearts 3D

Maybe have legs.

[cw_sasuke]

As expected userbase is a indeed a key factor for a series like Kingdom Hearts - hope it will at least have legs. Maybe the public is getting sick of all the spin-offs and games you have to play before KH3.

[Interfectum]

Slight bump for Vita, nice.

Just set the bar low?
