Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
A note from a 3DS fan: These sales numbers are 7 days for 3DS and 2 days for Vita.
Now that that's over.
- Capcom should have printed more copies of MH3G
- FFXIII-2 well below expectations (for reference, X-2 did 1.9 mill first week)
- 3DS ressurection continues to amaze. Well played, Iwata

Only once in 6 years did the DS beat this 3DS number at week 50. Achieving 367K the week Vita released is remarkable.

XIII-2 is doing poorly?
Vita off to a nice start software-wise, and a decent start hardware-wise. Though, 3DS beating it in its launch week has got to hurt, since it means that Vita is further behind 3DS this week than it was last week... lol. Pretty weird when you think about it. I really want to see the SKU split for both Vita shipments and sales. Does Media Create count online retailers, BTW?
The PS3 boost seems smaller than I'd expect with a new FF release, but that's probably due to FF's mediocre opening. Again, however, we had more than enough evidence to predict this.
MH3G wasn't as supply-constrained as I thought. It likely won't hit 1 million by the end of the year.
RIP Zelda.

I'd probably guess MK7 -> SM3DL -> MH3, though the first two could hit on the same week.
Wow those FFXIII-2 sales are low, I know it was affected negatively due to FFXIII, but has anyone heard anything about how good this sequel is?
Uh? It will cross the 4 million mark this week, the real question is, will the tracking end next week or the week after? Because it definitely has a chance of reaching 4.5 million with next week's numbers. (I always forget which year Famitsu or MC add a week).

And with that, 3DS' performance has finally started lagging compared to DS in 2005 where it did more than 400k in week 50.
Also, FFXIII-2 is such a bomb. In fact, I find a lot of software to be rather low for the holiday season. However, it's always funny to see how every title for Nintendo hardware seems to have "+%" next to it in the holiday season, no matter how long the title has been out.

Vita's next week will be crucial, since it's usually the biggest week of the entire year.
Not sure if it's too fair to compare due to the quality of competition from the 3DS games.
On another note (and I'm not saying this is the case now) but as downloading games becomes more and more common, we are going to start getting less and less accurate numbers, right?
This was exactly the news S-E didn't need. Oh my lord.
Two more weeks. 19th to the 25th, and 26th to the 1st.

Also.....FF13 sold 1.5 mil first week in Japan so damn lol.
He's totally serious and it will probably happen. Week 51 is the biggest week of the year in term of sales.

There is life in the Wii yet! I guess you don't need new games if there is a big enough back catalogue.
Of course I'm serious (by next week, I mean next sales week). It only needs a 10% W-O-W sales increase for the biggest sales week of the year. It's not the Vita: this week's sales are its baseline this month, not its launch.

399k during the biggest week of the year is very likely from a basis of this week of 367k.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck, I knew it would underperform but never thought Xillia would beat it. :lol
Tales is now a bigger franchise than Final Fantasy, never thought I'd see the day. That's what you get for releasing a sequel that got panned so heavily I suppose but it's sad that it happened to a game that turned out to actually be good.
On a lesser note 3DS software sales are pretty underwhelming too. It's too be expected with the week being so packed I suppose but all the new software is performing poorly compared to past iterations even when taking into account the lower userbase.

Holy shit at XIII-2. Gigabomba, right there; to be beaten by Xillia is incredible.
3DS keeps on trucking; depending on what Vita does, I could very well see it cross 4 million next week.

So...maybe Square really did shoot themselves in the foot? Everyone bailed out of the PS3 version and 360 version less than 20k?
Downloading titles isnt happening in anywhere near enough volume to matter much. Its still perfectly safe to use the physical copies sold as the vast vast vast majority of the software moved for a title. Maybe when most releases are doing 25 to 30% of their sales digitally we should bother, till then, no.
And think about the time of the year they launched. FF had the advantage there. Wow.
What would need Nintendo need a bomba-making developer for
Huh? 3DS is a week or two away from having 3 million* sellers in less than a year on the market.

No legs. =(
It's okay though since Namco is pretty close to its expected 500,000 sell through.
A note for you: 3DS has not been released this week
Well if Tguy's number is correct 2/3 of the FFXIII players didn't want this game.
That's what I am expecting as well.
You don't think that 399k is doable for 3DS in the biggest week of the year?

No need to get all crazy the next main line FF will out sell the next Tales game easy .
FFXIII-2 was a of time to tell the truth and a cheap way to make a new game.

Maybe now SquareEnix will accept that people just didn't like FF13?

Mosou and RR starting higher on 3DS than Vita is surprising. Sign of things to come?
