Media Create Sales: Week 24, 2012 (Jun 11 - Jun 17)

[Sammy Samusu]

17./14. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3 G (Capcom) - 4,269 / 1,481,643 (-23%)

Let's hit 1.5M! Gogogogogogogogogo!

[Bisnic]

Holy shit Pokemon

[AniHawk]

pokemon really did nothing for hardware sales. looks like the 3ds will need a pokemon of its own.

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Well, the Vita had a good run.

[electroplankton]

Vita, back to dust.

[Smiles and Cries]

will 3DS sales start to drop soon while people wait on XL?

[Zeer0id]

wow, tiny 3DS boost man :(

and DSi sales more than doubled.

[Nibel]

Pokémon is fucking amazing.
But it did like nothing for 3DS.. disappointing.

Vita is the simply most desirable handheld it seems :lol

[PSFan]

I'm surprised 3DS sales increased considering XL is coming out there in a few weeks

[hiska-kun]

Fire Emblem will leave the chart next week :(

No bump for 3DS. Pokemon as expected.

[linko9]

Wow, absolutely no 3DS bump from Pokemon. Though I suppose the news of the XL might be discouraging people from purchasing.

[AndrewDean84xX]

Shouldn't 3DS sales be going down, due to the 3DS XL announcement last week?

[idwl]

I know its a ds game but I thought pokemon would still at least bump 3ds hardware over 100k

[schuelma]

Dragon Quest Monsters holding insanely well. Looks like a million seller.

Vita is not surprising at all.

[Hero of Legend]

17./14. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3 G (Capcom) - 4,269 / 1,481,643 (-23%) Let's hit 1.5M! Gogogogogogogogogo!

Should be there according to Dengeki! :D

DQM is holding up, sweet!

Blah blah Pokemon blah blah.

[Forever]

So basically no one bought a 3DS for it because everyone in Japan already owns a DS?

[Four_Chamber]

Vita without any real momentum as it comes crashing back down. I expect it to be sub 10k again soon

[Kazerei]

Terry's Wonderland 3D holding out well. Small bump for 3DS hardware is a bit surprising.

[mugurumakensei]

Vita lacks vitality to make longer sprints.

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Nice to see the mighty Tokyo Jungle still up there and selling!

[jonno394]

I wonder if MK7 will reach 2 mil by the end of this FY

[ZenaxPure]

Dragon Quest refuses to let go of the second slot huh? Wonder how long that will actually hold up.

Poor Vita etc. Wonder what the next game to give it a significant bump will be.

[Kazerei]

So basically no one bought a 3DS for it because everyone in Japan already owns a DS?

Yeah, it's so late in the DS's life that nothing is really going to bump it. I thought the 3DS Pokemon apps would help sell the 3DS though.

[duckroll]

05./04. [PS3] Tokyo Jungle (SCEI) - 18,715 / 165,013 (-48%)

This is the real winner here. A low ass budget indie type title on the PS3 published by Sony with minimal marketing doing so well? An original IP with a unique concept to boot? Pretty amazing.

[mugurumakensei]

Yeah, it's so late in the DS's life that nothing is really going to bump it. I thought the 3DS Pokemon apps would help sell the 3DS though.

Pokemon fans could be waiting for the 3DS LL.

[Glass Rebel]

Since I haven't been in Media Create threads in years:

03./01. [PSV] Persona 4: The Golden (Atlus Co.) - 29,293 / 166,369 (-79%)
08./07. [3DS] Mario Tennis Open (Nintendo) - 13,036 / 198,047 (-27%)
17./14. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3 G (Capcom) - 4,269 / 1,481,643 (-23%)
18./13. [3DS] Fire Emblem: Awakening (Nintendo) - 3,972 / 417,760 (-31%)

How do these compare to prior releases and can they be considered successful?


Also 3DS will blow up when the next Pokemon generation is released. Damn.

[Hero of Legend]

What were the nuimbers for the DS DQM games?

[Aad]

So basically no one bought a 3DS for it because everyone in Japan already owns a DS?

A quarter of the population, yes.

[BD1]

Pokemon on DS was a miscalculation, IMO.

Look at the GIANT numbers it did, with a minimal 3DS hardware boost. Everyone in Japan already has a DS (probably 3 of them). No one is going to buy a 3DS for B/W 2, they're just playing it on their DS.

What kind of bump would 3DS have gotten if it had a system exclusive Pokemon game.

[grimshawish]

Pokemon 'might' bump 3DS over a longer period of time I suppose, but generally its sold to the DS user base.

DragonQuest is the new 3DS monster obviously.

Meanwhile Vita...be interesting to see where it goes next week.

[Mpl90]

Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3DS seems so much Final Fantasy III DS.

[michaelius]

2 PSV games in top 20 :D

[Culex]

I thougt for sure 3ds would go over 100k.... Guess I was smoking!

Vita, you had a good run. That's a very bad sign dropping 20k units after Persona 4.

[Khrno]

Wow, absolutely no 3DS bump from Pokemon. Though I suppose the news of the XL might be discouraging people from purchasing.

That should be a big reason, but it also should be considered that Pokemon players might not be interested on some new 3DS features and will rather play the game on their DS than buying a new console for just a few extras.

[Skiesofwonder]

05./04. [PS3] Tokyo Jungle (SCEI) - 18,715 / 165,013 (-48%) This is the real winner here. A low ass budget indie type title on the PS3 published by Sony with minimal marketing doing so well? An original IP with a unique concept to boot? Pretty amazing.

Yep. And I'm loving every second of it!

[Kazerei]

Pokemon fans could be waiting for the 3DS LL.

True. And it seems like Nintendo timed the announcement to just before Pokemon B2/W2's release.

[BadWolf]

Vita numbers are so sad. There are barely any releases for the thing so its to be expected :(

05./04. [PS3] Tokyo Jungle (SCEI) - 18,715 / 165,013 (-48%) This is the real winner here. A low ass budget indie type title on the PS3 published by Sony with minimal marketing doing so well? An original IP with a unique concept to boot? Pretty amazing.

Yes, this.

I was very excited for it personally but thought that it had bomb written all over it when it would come to sales.

Really happy to have been wrong.

[AniHawk]

2 PSV games in top 20 :D

people say the vita is doing poorly, but there are twice as many games in the top 20 as there are games on the best-selling handheld in japan, and hardware sold nearly 10x the amount even when the best-selling hardware got a 50% boost.

[duckroll]

Since I haven't been in Media Create threads in years: 03./01. [PSV] Persona 4: The Golden (Atlus Co.) - 29,293 / 166,369 (-79%) 08./07. [3DS] Mario Tennis Open (Nintendo) - 13,036 / 198,047 (-27%) 17./14. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3 G (Capcom) - 4,269 / 1,481,643 (-23%) 18./13. [3DS] Fire Emblem: Awakening (Nintendo) - 3,972 / 417,760 (-31%) How do these compare to prior releases and can they be considered successful? Also 3DS will blow up when the next Pokemon generation is released. Damn.

P4G is doing better than P3P, Mario Tennis Open is doing worse than the previous console versions, but better than the previous portable version. MH3G is doing much worse than MHP3, FE is doing much better than the previous few portable releases. All 4 games should be considered successful.

[Mpl90]

Yep. And I'm loving every second of it!

Me too. :D

And yes, I think the 3DS LL announcement just right before Pokèmon release could have affected hardware sales.

[pramath]

All hail Pokemon.

[faridmon]

No boost for the DS and a lower hardware increase on the 3DS?

[Mpl90]

people say the vita is doing poorly, but there are twice as many games in the top 20 as there are games on the best-selling handheld in japan, and hardware sold nearly 10x the amount even when the best-selling hardware got a 50% boost.

Ye Olde Sales Age Spirit is back.

[Opus Angelorum]

Persona 4: The Golden didn't hold much, huge drop.

[herod]

I wonder if people trading in old DS or 3DS systems in preparation for 3DS XL might also have lead to some 'phantom' system sales that we just don't see in these numbers.

[MasterSheen]

Amazing legs for DQM. Is it still supply constrained?

[Father_Brain]

P4tG is going to come fairly close to P3P's 208K total, huh. Userbase ain't everything.

[Nibel]

No boost for the DS and a lower hardware increase on the 3DS?

I imagine every person in Japan has a DS already

[Cosmonaut X]

Surely it would have been more surprising if the 3DS had had a significant boost from the release of a game - even a massively popular one like Pokemon - that is playable on its predecessor?

It would be (kinda) like expecting massive Vita sales because Monster Hunter Portable 3rd V2 came out on PSP and was available on PSN, no?
