Thanks god. Vita still over 10K.

But I feel sorry for people's hope, maybe next week?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Did every single person who bought the Madoka Blu-Rays also buy the PSP game? lol

 

[BassForever]

Wonder what they were expecting P+NA to do? Seems like it was successful, hopefully it'll lead to an international release

[3DS] 07. If I Were in a Sealed Room with a Girl I'd Probably XXX (D3, 12.03.15): 18,291 (NEW)

Proud to be one of these people

Not bad numbers though, for something so niche.

 

[liger05]

Vita somehow above 10k. Is Kingdom Hearts 3DS out this week?

 

[bigtroyjon]

If it's really that necessary for you to instantly make this thread, could you at least copy the formatting of the title so it fits in for search purposes.

 

[Souldriver]

If it's really that necessary for you to instantly make this thread, could you at least copy the formatting of the title so it fits in for search purposes.

I would like the OP and title to look like other MC-threads, with the links to previous threads and the database.

Hopefully it'll be updated.

Yeah, I'll update the OP with the normal format.

Vita somehow above 10k. Is Kingdom Hearts 3DS out this week?

No, but Kid Icarus is. KH is next week.

 

[wsippel]

Well, that's a creative name.

Don't forget the equally amazingly named, pre-order exclusive, downloadable spinoff title "If Kokoro Changed Into a Swimsuit".

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Garaph note. tl;dr version: if the hardware data seems to have stopped including new numbers someplace, let me know.

Longer version: When I first started sticking sales info in an online database, I hadn't messed with SQL in a few years and made some poor choices that ended up grandfathered for a long time. The biggie was that Media Create and Famitsu hardware data got put in separate tables, MC_HardwareWeekly and Fam_HardwareWeekly. More recently I made a more general HardwareWeekly that among other additions has a Tracker column. I wrote up some tools so that the data in the old tables would get copied to the new tables, and started using the new table for a few things. Well, now I've gone further: the automatic updating of numbers from the weekly web updates should go straight to the new table and ignore the old. I've been trying to make the necessary changes so all the old things like the Japanese hardware line graphs use the new table. However, if there are any references to the old tables I've missed, this will result in something not having access to the latest data as it goes to an obsolete source. For now everything is available in both forms, but that should start to change tonight.

FFS, we need to wait another week before PSV drops below 10K?

There's always a chance with Famitsu. Famitsu has usually had PSV lower so it was kind of expected it would happen last week, but for a change they had it higher.

[NDS] 01. Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition(Pokemon Co., 12.03.17): 172,027 (NEW)

This is a great debut. Compares well to the DS spinoffs. Will be interesting to see if it has legs. (Note: Red Rescue was actually a GBA game.)

 

[darkside31337]

People expecting Vita to drop below 10k next week?

Seems silly. Figure Little Busters will sell enough copies to keep it going for another week.

I don't think the Vita will drop below 10k till mid April. If it does.

 

[Four_Chamber]

sony are probably buying about 50 vita's a week to make sure sub 10,000 never happens lol

LOL, continued horrendous Vita sales. Otherwise nothing too interesting this week

 

[BowieZ]

So the Monster Hunter 3G bundles were... ineffectual? They released on the 17th, right?

Well not much of an effect to show after 2 days on sale I guess. It'll likely bounce up this week with full week's sales + new color, as will SM3DL the week after that.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

This is a great debut. Compares well to the DS spinoffs. Will be interesting to see if it has legs. (Note: Red Rescue was actually a GBA game.)

This graph is hilarious.

 

[botty]

I hope Vita sells 10,001 next week just to piss people off.

 

[Jaruru]

Vita hanging above the 10k mark

surprise surprise
will be like 10001 next week~

edit: omg, beaten by 2 mins... =.=

 

[Y-Z]

I think Vita will get to 12/13k next week. There are actually games coming out this week right?

 

[liger05]

No, but Kid Icarus is. KH is next week.

kool. so potentially the 3DS could have a two real good weeks.

 

[lazybones18]

Please have Theaterhythm in the Top 30

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Seems that the Vita has stabilized.

I guess being in a coma is somewhat stable...

 

[Kazerei]

I think Vita will get to 12/13k next week. There are actually games coming out this week right?

Little Busters and TOEIC Test. I don't think they'll help...

 

[zroid]

I think Kid Icarus could potentially be a system seller next week, without moving a tremendous number of software. Sakurai fans might jump on board.

 

[hatchx]

Please have Theaterhythm in the Top 30

I don't think they can consider 100-150k a failure.

 

[AgentChris]

PSV will stay at 10k forever.

 

[Kinvara]

Nice Nobunaga's Ambition + Pokemon numbers

New stream crossed

Wow.

 

[Wazzim]

One week left for the beloved sub-10k sales of the PSV.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

When's the next major Vita game scheduled to be released?

 

[Man God]

When's the next major Vita game scheduled to be released?

Define major.

 

[Spiegel]

When's the next major Vita game scheduled to be released?

June

 

[frostbyte]

LOL, PSV hanging in there like a ...champ? doesn't seem like the right word to use...

PxN surprising sales. Guess it's Pokemon.

Little Busters and TOEIC Test. I don't think they'll help...

TOEIC test is one of those TOEFL edutainment software? Aside from the anomalous Brain Training, how much do they usually sell?

June

That's P4Golden right?

 

[DECK'ARD]

It's like Vita is trying to fight the expectations of Sales-Age.

I applaud its bravery.

 

[cw_sasuke]

That's P4Golden right?

+ Gundam Seed Battle Destiny and MGS HD Collection.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Define major.

I guess in this case, 'major' is any game that is anticipated by at least some people who desire to purchase it, and is obviously not just shovelware

 

[frostbyte]

+ Gundam Seed Battle Destiny and MGS HD Collection.

Those two are only coming in June? I thought they were coming earlier, especially MGS HD.

Welp, PSV sales aren't going anywhere soon...

Btw, Gust's Ciel Nosurge: Ushinawareta Hoshi e Sasagu Uta is supposed to be coming in May. That's going to bump it up by at least a bit right?

 

[MasterSheen]

Pretty boring week :/

It should be more interesting next week, as 3DS hardware will rise from the release of Kid Icarus Uprising + new color. Vita might finally fall below 10k (or not).

 

[TheNatural]

Surprised at Vita above 10,000 quotes - does it really matter? It's literally 21 units. Does it really matter if it's 10,021 or 9,974 or something?

 

[Kazerei]

TOEIC test is one of those TOEFL edutainment software? Aside from the anomalous Brain Training, how much do they usually sell?

They've pretty much died off. There was a 2011 game that never charted, and the 2010 game barely made it.

EDIT: I did a search for the publisher IE Institute, which does "edutainment" type games. They had a huge year in 2007, but now they're very small. Makes me worried about Oni Training...

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Surprised at Vita above 10,000 quotes - does it really matter? It's literally 21 units. Does it really matter if it's 10,021 or 9,974 or something?

People just view it as a milestone marker or a threshold.
Like the difference between selling 999,979 units versus crossing a million

 

[BassForever]

Just cause I like numbers

3DS LTD after 3 weeks was 680,850
Vita LTD after 3 weeks was 439,986
Vita LTD after 14 weeks is 620,083

Also 14 weeks into 3DS LTD was when the system broke 1 million units

Ugh Mpl90, we appreciate your effort, but we'd be grateful if next time you create the thread you could use the usual Chris format, just for the title, since it messes up with specific searches.

I'm curious about exactly how close Vita can get to Dreamcast.

Oh! 3DS cracked 1 million in 2012. Neat.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Vita stabilization it would appear.

Did One Piece top XIII-2 already? Looks like it will cross 800K in a few weeks.

Oh, PS3 crossed 8 million.

 

[Man God]

Unless something ridiculous happens the 3DS is going to catch the PS3 before the holidays.
