maybe first two days?
How is that week going to be anyway, sales-wise? Full seven days or just two or three? If it's seven days then you might be right. 600k would be more indicated
"Warner the Best"
I'm sorry but this is the unsung success story of the Wii in my opinion. Compared to how this did in the rest of the word, selling this much is freaking insane. I don't think there's anyway Nintendo bundles Nintendo Land in Japan
2 days and even then it will do more than 400k
I get the feeling Platinum with either shutter soon, or they will be contracted to make more Metal Gear Rising games. Their situation seems pretty desperate at this point.
Just noticed Dokuro in the top 30. Does anyone know how many ratings this game have in the PS Store?
I'm not worried. They have two games signed with major publishers (Konami and Nintendo).

What happens after those two though?
Bayonetta 2, published by someone that's not SEGA.
Sega owns the IP.
Yep Platinum owns none of the IPs they've made which is really troubling.
Are there any recent PS3 bombas?
The market was stronger before. But what bar should be used for the next generation?
Dragon's Dogma comes to mind.

Bomba because of budget, not because of sales.

Uh...
I understand what you're trying to say here, man, but... No.

Bomba is mostly an assessment of the financial results - brand new propertys sell less because they rarely recieve such high budgets and dev-time. No or low return on investment = bomba. At least for me, but this expectations are also a gauge the success.The sales were great for the fact it was a brand new property. The sales were not great because of the game's budget. I don't think Capcom's displeased with Dragon's Dogma Japanese sales.

Vita getting back in line. Very good.
Erm...how is this 'very good' exactly?...
For 3DS-only owners, I suppose it could be very good. For us Vita owners, it's obviously terrible news.Erm...how is this 'very good' exactly?...
Bummer to see PSV sales drop again but it was to be expected after P4G.
Nice and stable at 10k.
Should be good for us Vita owners too if it means that sony has to step their game up.For 3DS-only owners, I suppose it could be very good. For us Vita owners, it's obviously terrible news.
PSP almost caught the Vita this week. Better luck next time.

Given what they've done so far about the Vita situation, I don't have much faith in Sony's ability to do something about it.Should be good for us Vita owners too if it means that sony has to step their game up.
What's the next reasonably high-profile PSV release?
Fair enough. Is it a brand new game btw?It is still a Third Party IP though.
Thanks124, with an average rating of 4.87/5. It didn't make it into the top 10 download sales for the week.
I know that the director of Dragon's Dogma said 1 million in Japan, but he also said 10 million worldwide (not sure if that was just a hope or really being serious). Not sure why he had such high expectations when similar typish games like Dark/Demons Souls and Skyrim sold under 500k each. But what did Capcom expect from it in Japan? I know it is 1.5 million worldwide (unfortunately for Capcom, the sales in the west have been pretty weak for Dragon's Dogma).Dragon's Dogma comes to mind.
Sure, but where does the line go? Do we still say lowered expections to Mario games because SMB1 sold 6 million copies? How far back does it goes from "lowered expectations" to "sales are good". It is all relative to something else.This would be where the term "lowered expectations" comes into play.
First step would be to get Bamco to release God Eater 2 as a PSV exclusive. They could have Soul Sacrifice, PSO2 and GE2 on their system.How exactly are they going to do that, though? Their fate is almost entirely in the hands of third parties.
I can name off a bunch for the US, but for Japan not as much.
Not exactly high profile but there is the Legend of Heroes: Zero no Kiseki Evolution.

Soul Sacrifice I suppose you can consider high-profile due to the people behind it and it being a new IP for the VITA.

Hatsune Miku in 2012 though not sure if you consider this high profile.
Phantasy Star Online 2 in 2013.
Hmm, if Soul Sacrifice is really the next one, that's disconcerting. That thing is months away.

Miku is probably the highest profile game out of the 4 you listed.

Wii Party is bundled.
Oh....well that blows my argument apart. I believe it still sold pretty well before it became bundled though =p
