Media Create Sales: Week 35, 2012 (Aug 27 - Sep 02)

[Santiako]

Everything but 3DS is dead. :(

[D_prOdigy]

Famitsu has literally killed Vita.

[Sammy Samusu]

19./18. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G # <ACT> (Capcom) {2011.12.10} (¥5.800) - 6.395 / 1.547.604 (-10%)

King of the trinity.

[magash]

The PSV is well and truly FUCKED.

[GCX]

That's one big drop for Project Diva.

[BassForever]

I thought Miku was a lock to break 200k, I wonder how many Vita sales were repeat buyers who just wanted the white miku version of the system.

[Kouriozan]

Famitsu has literally killed Vita.

Yeah I just noticed that >.<

[Mpl90]

Famitsu has literally killed Vita.

So much Chris didn't include Vita in its Famitsu hardware table.

[Takao]

RIP Ratchet

Those weird Japanese promo videos did nothing :(

[MarkusRJR]

Dat Vita and Miku drop. :(

[d[-_-]b]

Famitsu has literally killed Vita.

Lol just noticed, they stopped tracking it?

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Expected drop for Vita. Should get up a bit the rest of the month with Ys, EDF, DJ Max still to come.

Thought Lost Heroes might have done a little better, but those numbers are probably around what was to be expected.

[wrowa]

Lol just noticed, they stopped tracking it?

No, Chris just forgot to include it.

Famitsu has it at roughly 11k this week.

[Exterminieren]

Vita. :(

I didn't expect the bump to last long, but I expected longer than that.

[Kazerei]

Some massive >80% drops there. Really front-loaded games.

Meanwhile, Run for Money Tousouchuu just keeps on going.

[Seda]

Vita sales back to "normal"

[watershed]

Damn, the Vita just cannot get any momentum going.

[BassForever]

I kind of want to import CoD: MW3 Dubbed edition lol

[DaSorcerer7]

Wow, massive for vita and miku

[Kandinsky]

Nice hold for Vita.

D:

[BadWolf]

Vita's failure is so sad to see :/

[RPG_Fanatic]

3DS the only one putting up decent numbers this week. Nice to see so many 3DS games in the chart, with both 1st and 3rd party offerings.

Sony really needs to step it up with the Vita.

[grimshawish]

Miku had a decent second week, was expecting it to vanish. Kept Vita sales a bit higher again too.

On the 3DS side, those sales make me think Nintendo will bring out a 3DS Lite.
XL/Lite would offer consumer choice.

[Chris1964]

Famitsu has literally killed Vita.

Not my fault, they changed Vita from プレイステーション ヴィータ to プレイステーション Vita, meaning no match

[Mpl90]

I...I thought Vita would have hold better. I mean, I thought this week it would have done something like 20-25k, and then in a few weeks back to normal.

But no, immediate return to reality. Christ, this thing can't live.

Vita cratered

[Nirolak]

Vita's failure is so sad to see :/

Sony has about eight days to announce something impressive for the system before it's pretty reasonable to assume they're never going to get notable titles again.

At that point a discontinuation (or soft discontinuation where they just let it fade out over time) would likely be the next step in about 6-12 months.

A price cut can't really revive a system if you don't have anything on the system.

Why? How? What?

[Doogdogg]

Could MH3G reach 2 million? It doesn't want to go away.

[Darklord]

It was pretty damn obvious. Sony learned nothing.

[Jaded Alyx]

Vita's failure is so sad to see :/

...and yet so easy to foresee.

[LayLa]

What is the next game that could conceivably push Vita sales past 25,000?

[7threst]

I kind of thought Vita numbers would be higher this week. Like, a lot higher. But it's almost back to reality before Hatsune Miku got released. Not good.

[Chris1964]

EDF3P will be huge.

[Erethian]

Could MH3G reach 2 million? It doesn't want to go away.

Hasn't even had a budget release yet, so 2 million is a pretty safe bet.

I thought so too. Its like the Vita fell down a flight of stairs without hitting any steps along the way. Though I suppose the bump was produced by a very specific segment of the market that would not last for two weeks.

[meppi]

Did anyone really believe that a Miku game out of all things would save the system? :-/

[saichi]

all 3 big new releases from last week dropped hard... still, 200K for Miku and 100K for SH and Burst should still be reachable

EDIT:

Meanwhile, Run for Money Tousouchuu just keeps on going.

08./11. [3DS] Tousouchuu: Shijou Saikyou no Hunter-Tachi Kara Nigekire! <ACT> (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.07.05} (¥5.040) - 13.060 / 122.999 (-17%)

13./12. [3DS] Tousouchuu: Shijou Saikyou no Hunter-Tachi Kara Nigekire! <ACT> (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.07.05} (¥5.040) - 7.850 / 116.493 (-34%)

this is a little odd...

What happens in 8 days?

[BassForever]

Next "big" Vita game is LBP correct?

First week sales

03. [PS3] LittleBigPlanet (SCE) 51,705 / NEW
43. / 00. [PSP] LittleBigPlanet Portable (SCE) :|
05. / 00. [PS3] LittleBigPlanet 2 (SCE) {2011.02.10} - 24.648 / NEW

So I guess we won't see much of a bump from that...

[Tenki]

3DSLL has already sold more than Vita YTD.

What happens in 8 days?

TGS

[Seda]

What is the next game that could conceivably push Vita sales past 25,000?

Does Ys have that sort of pull?

[Takao]

What happens in 8 days?

TGS

[Gaborn]

Huh, I know its not particularly relevant at this point but the gap between trackers for the PS2 is pretty remarkable.

[Erethian]

What happens in 8 days?

TGS.

[onQ123]

So will the 3DS pass the PS3 before Vita pass the Xbox 360 in lifetime sells?

[Father_Brain]

What happens in 8 days?

TGS. Considering the failure of Vita Game Heaven 2 to materialize and the surprising lack of word from Sony on a TGS press conference, things aren't looking too good right now.

I expected at least +20k sales for its second week...but these result. Why even bother ? At this point Sony has to plan a month long frame where they release a mid seller every week.

I could never count out Sony when it comes to Third party announcements, they have their ties - but at this point i really have to wonder how they can get bigger exclusives for Vita.

[disco]

Everything is fucked. :(
