So just because earlier games in a series come, all must come?
I guess I'll just go buy VC3 and FF Type-0 at the store right now!

You're kidding, right. Iwata's probably crying into a beer as we speak (even though it's like 10 am in Japan right now).
But no one really cares about that shit. I don't blame them.
I see "bububu digital sales!" is no longer Vita exclusive too.
How many returns in January though to lower February's number?

PS3 and 3DS are the last pieces of the hardware puzzle.
Curious about Sly Cooper too.

He has already posted Vita numbers: 36k.
Now we need PS3 and 3DS hardware please
No, 38k.
It's okay everyone. WiiU has yet to hit its momentum.

It should have been a $9.99 downloadable title. I don't know what Nintendo is thinking, but evidently it's a terrible strategy. They also charged $29.99 at retail for a vanilla crossword game, which wouldn't have been acceptable in 2005, let alone in a climate where iOS devices are dominating the marketplace.

~14K (Real total was 80K)
eo4 actually did well. smaller companies like nisa, xseed, and atlus usually get 24k games sold to retailers at first, so selling that many to customers isn't that bad (atelier meruru did 5k its first month and that was okay). actually, what ngs2p did is more what a small company might expect. for tecmo-koei, it's more of a bomb.

He was talking about Sly Cooper's PSV number. I'd imagine they're probably closer to NGS2P since it was a Cross Buy game.

That's an insane expectation to set considering it did 112k in January, why set yourself up like that?

LOL I'm robbing Vita of its sales!!
Hey, when you're selling so little, 2k is over 5% of sales, haha.
I'm trying the help them. =P
Maybe if they can either ship some to Mars or promise retailers they'll cut the price in April.

Considring how much effort was put in the game I'm sure they made a profit.
64k is horrible. For comparison, the Wii sold 335k in February 2007.
If we assume Wii did 100k as per the previous talk about total hardware sales and Nintendo's amount of them then the PS3 would probably be around ~270k
Wii Fit U, Pikmin, and The Wonderful 101 (all games they've been showing since last year) are probably close, too. There's no reason they couldn't start marketing and announce projected dates for those games.

oh for some reason i thought it came out in February, my bad
Ouch lol
When was the bundle available to consumers?
Yea, I thought that would be good for such a niche game. How did previous EO games and games similar to it do?

This doesn't surprise me at all. Sonic games always sell well on Nintendo platforms. Sonic Colors for Wii sold significantly more units than every Sonic Generations SKU combined. Nintendo should stop being coy and just buy the IP already.
Even $9.99 is crazy for Brain Age in a post iOS world.

Ahh, ok.
Crazy theory time!
Do you think the PS4 announcement maybe impacted WiiU numbers?
I have absolutely no sympathy for Nintendo in regards to the Wii U bombing at retail. I had a fun time with NSMBU and Nintendoland, but the fact that there hasn't been any significant releases 4 months after launch is just plain laughable. (Also fuck you Nintendo and your deceptive "launch window" bullshit by lying in our faces and saying games like Pikmin 3 and W101 should be out by now)
I'm expecting sometime down the road another embarrassing apology from Nintendo to their early adopters. While I cut them some slack on the 3DS, the fact that this is the 2nd time it has happened to them recently along with the fact that they had several years of blank release schedules to prepare a decent console library goes to show how much of a complete fuck up this system launch was. If they don't get their shit together for a mind blowing fall line up, then they can shut up and take their 3rd place trophy for next gen, because if this is all they can muster up then they more than deserve it. /rant of salty early adopter

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I like my sugar with NPD and cream.
Forgot about the ZombiU bundle hitting your shores. I mean... 11% is still something. Which gives cause for concern on how bad March can get?

Well, PS Vita games do see high sales on PSN. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus has 165 reviews on the US PSN atm so it could possibly have twice as many digital sales as physical sales.

Sony Ecosystem < Xbox 360
Here's what's known.
Xbox 360 = 302K i.e. 41% of all four systems listed here
PS3 = ???
Wii U = 66K
Wii = ???
Also, all systems are up on a weekly basis from January. In my estimation, that means Wii > 80K and PS3 > 160K.
There is also the total hardware sales (ALL systems) of $244.2mm...

So, 360=302k, wii u=66k, 360=41% share, Wii+PS3=~368k?
pretty hefty total. means ps3 probably did pretty good even if wii sold 100k.

Probably isn't going to be worse seeing how games for the thing actually come out this month. Not games that ought to push the numbers way beyond 100k, mind.

So PS3 ~260k?

So, PS3 + PS2 + PSP ~ 265k.
An all-time Atlus bestseller is, what, ~500k? That's what Disgaea and Demon's Souls did, and I don't think anyone would scoff at those sales at all. And given that it has a cheap localization with the whole "no VA" thing and that's an Atlus-owned IP, I imagine that it's doing pretty OK for them for how few days it had in the reporting period.
