Media Create Sales: Week 23, 2012 (Jun 04 - Jun 10)

[BlazingDarkness]

Congrats to Atlus

[Shellshock929]

Vita's increasing? NO WAY!

[JosephManderley]

Release software - sell systems. Take note Sony!

[crinale]

Way to go Atlus!

[ElTopo]

Still horrible sales for Vita, but at least it's managed to raise from the dead for a week.

How are the sales for Lollipop Chainsaw, as expected ?

[Britprog]

Nice bump in sales for Vita, but will it be sustainable?

[guit3457]

Amazing how the 3DS is holding without a strong release that week.

[Soka]

The holdover for SML3D, MH3G, and MK7 never ceases to amaze me.

[Magicpaint]

Fire Emblem outdid MH3G this week, ha.

[Zeer0id]

rah rah

[Seda]

Boost for Vita is good.

[BlazingDarkness]

Nice bump in sales for Vita, but will it be sustainable?

Of course not

There's not enough appealing software yet

PSV is still very much in it's infancy

[Mpl90]

Oh God the DQ little decrease. Legs, guys.

[Bebpo]

If that's the highest the Vita can bump, they are in a tough position this year. Every other month there will be a big game that will bump it to 20-30k for the week and then it'll fall back down to 10-15k again. That's...not good.

I think they're seeing the max sales they're going to get at this price point. Vita needs a $100 drop NOW.

[Tratorn]

Yeah, nice sales for persona.
I predicted 150k ltd, but it'll get even higher than that. :)

[darkwing]

bring on more games = no dead Vita

[MigueelDnd]

Good week for Vita & Atlus! Hopefully Sony realizes it needs more high-profile games and gets on it.
I'm surprised to see that the 3DS is doing pretty well even though it doesn't have a high-profile release this week.
Also, poor Gon: Baku, it looks like a fun game.

[LegatoB]

Nice bump in sales for Vita, but will it be sustainable?

Not a chance.

[wrowa]

I think Lollipop Chainsaw has the best launch week for any Grasshopper game period.

[RPG_Fanatic]

The release of Persona 4 pushes Vita hardware to a good value.
Lets see how the Vita sales go from here.

[wotta]

Great week for Vita. Wouldn't say it's horrible sales at all, more than 50% increase for a remake.

Nice one Sony.

Also Tokyo Jungle still doing well.

[Penguin]

Pretty nice jump for the Vita.

What is the rest of the summer's line-up looking like?

[saichi]

Lollipop Chainsaw sold more than I expected. Tokyo Jungle has a great hold.

Stupid DQM3D supply issue for SE.

[mclem]

Amazing how the 3DS is holding without a strong release that week.

I think it's fair to regard "Fresh restocks of Dragon Quest" as a 'strong release', at least in terms of effect.

Fire Emblem's still holding its own among the trinity, although very low sales for those with the exception of Mario 3D Land. Still, the legs are very encouraging.

[Magicpaint]

If that's the highest the Vita can bump, they are in a tough position this year. Every other month there will be a big game that will bump it to 20-30k for the week and then it'll fall back down to 10-15k again. That's...not good. I think they're seeing the max sales they're going to get at this price point. Vita needs a $100 drop NOW.

It was not realistic to expect an enhanced PS2 port to do much more, though. This is pretty much similar to the OOT3DS situation. Agree though...I'm sure Atlus is at least encouraged by this and will consider the platform viable for future titles.

[Exterminieren]

Still not a great situation for Vita, but it'd be wrong not to recognise the potential for the platform that these results show. Persona in itself did very well too.

3DS staying so steady is nice to see too. What happens to 3DS hardware next week is one of the most interesting situations we've seen for a while.

[BlazingDarkness]

Good week for Vita & Atlus! Hopefully Sony realizes it needs more high-profile games and gets on it. I'm surprised to see that the 3DS is doing pretty well even though it doesn't have a high-profile release this week. Also, poor Gon: Baku, it looks like a fun game.

Almost half of the top 20 is 3DS games, I'm not surprised the hardware is selling so well
3DS has hit a great stride with wide appealing software, new releases are almost not needed for a good while, it's found the sweet spot
New 3DS owners are buying into the older software, hence the great legs for those charting games

[massoluk]

Nice boost, what's Vita next big release? Ya need that momentum going.

[duckroll]

The divide between modern Persona style Atlus games and oldschool Atlus games is so great that I think SMT4 sales are going to be very interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if SMT4 doesn't do much better than SJ or EO games, maybe even less than Catherine. Hashino's game design style and Soejima's art definitely appeals to modern Japanese gamers and audiences in general way more.

[Celine]

Vita undead.

[Banjoman]

almost 70k for a grasshopper game should be huge.
good for them; the game is great.

[Aostia]

Great result for Vita's HW and P$ numbers!
Very good result also for 3DS without any new release, and very good presence of 3DS software in the chart.
Also, finally god numbers also for Grasshopers!

[Mpl90]

Didn't notice this before, but for the first time ever PSP is under 10k.

[wotta]

I think the White Vita releases in Japan next week, that should provide a boost.

[LiquidMetal14]

Of course not There's not enough appealing software yet PSV is still very much in it's infancy

Yep. It's easy to clown it when it's doing 8k a week though :P

The games will come and that price needs to come down with that SW.

[Magicpaint]

The divide between modern Persona style Atlus games and oldschool Atlus games is so great that I think SMT4 sales are going to be very interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if SMT4 doesn't do much better than SJ or EO games, maybe even less than Catherine. Hashino's game design style and Soejima's art definitely appeals to modern Japanese gamers and audiences in general way more.

Wasn't SJ sort of screwed over by limited supply, which cut short its legs? Then again what's to say the same can't happen for SMT4. I wonder if SMT4 going first or third person has any bearing on its sales potential.

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Go, go Persona 4 and Vita! :D Also nice to see Tokyo Jungle still up there!

[BlazingDarkness]

The divide between modern Persona style Atlus games and oldschool Atlus games is so great that I think SMT4 sales are going to be very interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if SMT4 doesn't do much better than SJ or EO games, maybe even less than Catherine. Hashino's game design style and Soejima's art definitely appeals to modern Japanese gamers and audiences in general way more.

This is what I thought as soon as SMT4 was revealed, I think they will budget it in line with SJ/EO titles too
It'll probably be in first person like those games also

[Rand6]

Nice bump in sales for Vita, but will it be sustainable?

If during Capcom Summer Jam/Sony Vita Game heaven there's a MH announcement and price drop, then maybe.

[AniHawk]

holy shit, persona might have saved the vita.

[Opus Angelorum]

If that's the highest the Vita can bump, they are in a tough position this year.

Indeed.

holy shit, persona might have saved the vita.

For the rest of June. How is the rest of the year looking?

[Furoba]

I think the White Vita releases in Japan next week, that should provide a boost.

That plus Metal Gear Solid 2-3 HD release.

TGS can't come soon enough, though.

[twentytwo22]

I think the White Vita releases in Japan next week, that should provide a boost.

That's next actual week, so the next week of sales (this week in Japan) will be a week of no Vita games and nothing new before the week where the white Vita (and MGS, which won't affect much) hits.

[test_account]

Amazing for Persona 4 Golden and Lollipop Chainsaw. Tokyo Jungle held pretty good too. And Dragon Quest as well, but that was expected i think.

[Kazerei]

P4G exceeded my expectations by alot! Good job Atlus.

[OldJadedGamer]

Is this the first time a Vita title has debuted at #1? If so, good for Atlus.

[michaelius]

The holdover for SML3D, MH3G, and MK7 never ceases to amaze me.

Why ? Every nintendo console has a few games like that for whole their lifetime ?

[Diprosalic]

software sells hardware, who would have thought. great for atlus, does any persona game come to 3DS? i'm interested in playing them.

[AniHawk]

For the rest of June. How is the rest of the year looking?
