OK week. Not too eventful to say the least, but there are nice performances on the 3DS front.
I will very carefully pay attention to BD: FF in the upcoming weeks.

Vita increased by ~10%. 3DS down ~24%. I think we all know the winner this week.

WOW at the Vita. Remember the days when people were speculating about it dropping below 10k?

This sucks. The system has great potential (IMO even greater than the 3DS.)

The first Little Battlers had a first week of 166.187, so while it's not an absolute bomba it's definitely a big drop.

I need to see the updated Dreamcast VS Vita chart. 3DS is healthy. Can't wait for next year.

So, have Sony given up on the Vita for this holiday, in the hopes of coming up with something that'd help in the New Year...

...or have they just given up? I mean, this just can't carry on.

3DS LL YTD - 781.902
Vita YTD - 575.058

Now, the question is whether the LL can overtake the PS3's YTD (902.153).

Yes, the brand new LBX didn't debut that far from the 3DS porting of the porting.

The two best selling new PS Vita releases sold 37,000 units combined, it was unreasonable to expect more than a negligible hardware bump.

I think the sequence of events dictate that retailers take action now.

I mean, on Vita's part it can't get any worse, it's selling as bad as new hardware can possibly sell and is by all accounts dead in Japan. Gamecube and Dreamcast were dead back then, well, this is more dead, just something to think about.

it's now up to retailers to declare it officially dead by not restocking it ever again and putting it out if their inventory for good in the next couple of months.

whether retailers want to piss off sony by doing that and risk further partnerships, it's up to them so maybe it'll all stay like that until sony themselves bail out of the handheld market, maybe in 2 or 3 years.

Damn, I was expecting a lot more. This was supposed to be a nice week!

Vita could hit a new low every week from now on. Hold on to your wigs.

Great hold for BD.

Little Battlers is definitely disappointing. The franchise is not a new IP anymore and the sequel is multiplatform and yet it has a lower opening than the first game.

Absolutely.

Why, if it maintains this level of growth, its weekly sales will beat 3DS's after just 23 weeks, provided 3DS stays absolutely steady! :D

It's not a good debut at all, with part of it due to the PSP slowing down, and the Vita not being a proper platform for it. The other part is all on Level-5 though, the constant re-releases of the first game have had to warn people to wait. The game should have some legs as the marketing campaign for the movie picks up but there's no way that combined it reaches the height of the first. Oh well, I'm playing my copy of LBX W.

Vita seems to have hit its max now - those are still decent software sales but no real Vita boost. 3DS making up more than 50% of hardware sales this year; am not sure theres room for Vita; when the WiiU launches Nintendo is going to have a significant foothold over the gaming market for at least a year.

Great second week for BD.

It drops to 20k in only 2 weeks... & probably will drop more in the next week. But considering the price, for now, 'survive' in my opinion.

AKB1/149: Love Election. It's coming to both PSP and Vita, but I think AKB fans will be more inclined to buy the Vita version than say, LBX fans.

It's a Japanese pun thing. They apparently pronounce "W" as "double" which ties into the fact that this arch in the franchise has 2 protagonists. The W branding has been used on the anime, and other related products. The re-releases all use the "Boost" suffix too.

God,over 250,000 for BD would be beyond my wildest predictions from even a month ago.
