Media Create Sales: Week 8, 2012 (Feb 20 - Feb 26)

boiled goose

good with gravy
Well you could go back to the media create threads from last year and check out the 3ds seling 45k+ a week from the pricecut all the way up to when those games released, often with no games in the top 10 software sales.

Econ 102.
Expectations matter.

Hence, the stock market exists.

Anyways, on topic. God DAYUM @ those Musou numbers! As expected from One Piece =)

The scary thing: It's retail price is 8,190 yen, or about $100 USD. Sweet Jesus.
So 60 million $ of revenue in retail sales.
That's roughly worth 1'000'000 Mario 3D Land day one.
 
A new color and... New bundles.

-Monster Hunter 3G, with black or red 3DS, March 17

-Super Mario 3D Land, with white or pink 3DS, March 24

image3.jpg


-Fire Emblem Awakening, with blue 3DS, April 19

image4.jpg


...March is going to be insane.
Opinions: Monster Hunter 3G can easily top 1.6 million at this point, while Mario 3D Land could overcome Mario Kart 7 on a weekly basis. Fire Emblem Awakening is really pushed by Nintendo.

Sony will never admit how much of a mistake it was not to find a way to include 100% backward compatibility of the PSP within the Vita. At least in Japan, not being able to play the vast majority of the PSP library, on their brand new Vita, is definitely a factor. Especially since major PSP games are still being released that can only be played on the PSP.
 
It is rather hilarious that Wii is considered this resounding success while PSP sold about 6 million more units (and is currently still outselling the Wii lol) and many still consider the system a failure.

Lowered expectations (Wii) vs. unrealistic expectations (PSP) it seems?
Wii was a worldwide success and the wii software also had some enormous sales. PSP isn't a success worldwide, compared towards it's competitor and software sales are low.

seems that those vita masters aren't very good at their job. maybe the upcomming Nintendo Vita direct heaven could change things:

New Vita Titles To Be Announced on March 9

According to Sony's announcement, the broadcast will include information about unannounced Vita titles, upcoming releases, and Vita services, as well as new information about in-release titles. The broadcast will feature presentations from game creators themselves.

so, whose money is on mh vita? :p

It's not a conference. It's just Sony Direct.

yes, but the difference is that nintendo already announced various first/third party titles for 3ds from a long time, so in their Direct can "simply" make minor announcments and updates on existing titles. Vita up to now has very few known titles incoming, so I'm expecting at least some "real" new games unveiled.

There's also the possibility that they haven't had a lot of new games to announce.

Time to start a calendar year DS 2006 x 3DS 2012. If Nintendo keeps releasing bundles every 15 days, maybe the 3DS can try to keep up with the DS Lite...

The way I see it the only real surprise are the Mario bundles and I don't know if the quantity will be limited or Nintendo will give them a long run.

We still miss a Mario Kart bundle, right? Not sure...

Yes, of course. But I'll believe that a Sony portable device with no japanes support can exist only after at least three years as this first 4 months of Vita.

You just described the PSP before Monster Hunter raised it from the grave.

Unless Sony busts out some real shockers on March 9th, and I'll be waiting eagerly to see if that's the case, I'm sticking to my Gamecube predictions.

On that note...

Very few known titles are incoming because imo, very few titles of note exist in the first place.

Pretty much what I'm thinking.

Sony have had a number of opportunities to promote late 2012/early 2013 titles at pre-launch and launch events and nothing of note has shown up. The argument that seems to run here is that they are waiting to GDC, or E3 or even TGS to unveil some big titles for the system - an idea that not only runs counter to how Sony have typically handled reveals before (lots of pre-launch hype for titles, teaser footage of near-vapourware etc.) but doesn't make sense in terms of promoting a new console.

You can point to Nintendo's post-launch reveal of Monster Hunter and a few other odds and ends, but even before launch they were promoting titles like MK7, Snake Eater, Resident Evil: Revelations, KH3D etc. so that people knew that these titles were coming.

As others have pointed out, it's also worth noting that this appears to be a webcast - like Nintendo Direct - and not the kind of live-streamed press conference where something major will be announced. I'm expecting - at best - a couple of lower-tier third party titles and some more info on first-party games for the rest of the year.

I'd like to think that this is a sign of Sony beginning to enter panic mode and revealing surprises they intended to save for E3 in order to counter the uncertainty around the platform.

Problem is, I can't imagine what they might have that would produce the desired effect.

At this point, any third parties that wanted to hold back, if they care about having a reasonable install base by the time they launch, will have to announce now.

If this conference ends and there is nothing, I see no real reason to believe there actually is anything.

They can't let the system run with the perception that its final exclusive game is releasing in August, but as of right now, that's actually what's happening.
 

Nirolak

Mrgrgr
Indeed. I'm wondering if, maybe, Sony managed to secure some big third-party exclusive that we haven't thought of yet.

If they don't, they might as well pull the marketing plug the same way Microsoft did and refocus all their efforts on the West, where they've at least had some level of success in securing titles since Western developers actually have HD games to salvage assets and technology from.

We´re kinda back to last weeks discussion.
I think it makes no lasting effect to simply announce one 3rd party exclusive, or a MH derivate. They´d need to blow their E3load early and announce everything under the sun that might get to the Vita.

Its possible they show the already announced titles more in depth/detail, to create some buzz.
I guess its hard to say what Sony and 3rd parties still got in the pipeline this year we haven´t heard of yet.

Well, they have to try something no matter what.

Have they really got anything to lose at this point?

It would be unbelievable if Sony focused on the West. I don't see them winning that fight either.

They have implied that their long term Western plan is to sell the handheld at a budget price to teenagers. To do that, they basically just need to keep it alive for 1-2 years and build up a bit of a back catalog.

Sony is one of the only companies that makes T games, and we're about to have a large price spike in consoles again due to the next generation.

It's not a strategy that gets all that much in the way of sales, but it's better than any of their other options right now.

I have my doubts that western publishers will flock ( development resources ) on a gaming handheld.

True, but where do you think they'll have more luck getting things?

It's already a bad situation. The question is where do you refocus:

1.) On the region you have absolutely nothing in.
2.) On the region you at least have a handful of things in and where your first party developers at least have some modicum of relevance.

that's the thing, i would be glad to trust that. but after going all last year (virtually), between E3 and TGS, they announced pretty much nothing up until it's release in Japan. so yes, lets hope they have something new, i mean spanking new from this webcast.

Worst-case scenario: Can Sony's first party studios sustain a system? Nintendo's have had to a couple of times, and it's been unpleasant for their customers, but they just about managed to do so. I think Sony *should* be capable of that, although I do wonder if Sony would *want* them to (it'd take resources from PS4 development)

I am expecting something new which Sony *thinks* is important. That's not necessarily the same as being something that GAF would agree is important, though. I'll be very interested to see if the new announcements are first or third party.

Worst-case scenario: Can Sony's first party studios sustain a system?

No. In Japan this is absolutely impossible since they have no strong brands left. In the west, they have brands they could use, but the success level will be very much limited by the fact that these are all console franchises which won't appeal as much to a portable audience.
 
If they actually have nothing, would they really hold a conference just to confirm the worst fears people have about the system?

Well, it's not really - from what I can tell - a conference - so expectations should be set accordingly.

As for having nothing and still talking about the system - well, what else to do? If they really have nothing significant secured third-party-wise, they still need to promote the console and talk about their first-party titles and OS features etc.

I honestly can't see this thing showing much new of any significance, and again I'd point out that there have been so many better opportunities to talk about forthcoming software - why not at the Japanese launch, or the Western launches? Why not at Christmas in Japan to take the shine off the Tri G/MK7/SM3DL triad?

At the moment, there seem to be two scenarios: they either have nothing significant to talk about, or they do have important announcements but (for tactical reasons, or incompetence) simply aren't getting them out there.

To add to this, Sony doesn't even have many studios left in Japan.

In the West, they have a lot of resources, so they can at least try to create a variety new brands.

SCEJ on the other hand consists of about three studios that can make anything worthwhile, one of which just imploded after working on vaporware for seven years, one of which is a very troubled racing game developer, and the final of which actually released a Vita game already that didn't exactly set the charts on fire.

A couple of weeks after the worldwide release seems like a good time imo, no point in announcing new stuff before the current stuff was even released everywhere.

I don't agree with that. PSP had good support from the beginning in Japan. Probably more supoprt than DS in their first period of life. After that, we saw the explosion of the DS, that brought a lot of support to Nintendo, but PSP was able to keep a "sufficient" support (over the home market) thanks to the explosion of the portable market in its integrity.
After the MH boom we saw not a sufficient but a very strong supporto to PSP.
Not as good as the DS one, but very good in my opinion.


Very few known titles are incoming because imo, very few titles of note exist in the first place.

In my opinion it's true for the first six months of Vita life, but they'll announce titles starting from March 9 until TGS to better cover the second part of the year until holidays.

That's not how I remember it. There was support early on, no question, but then the PSP cratered worldwide and never recovered in the west. The lineup was anemic until Monster Hunter revived interest in the platform. Until the very end, I don't think the PSP actually had any million sellers in Japan besides Monster Hunter and only a handful of titles that broke 500k, most of which came from Square.

The Vita doesn't even have the early support that the PSP enjoyed and everyone is a lot more skeptical this time around. The 3DS seems to be inheriting a lot of the titles that publishers put on PSP last generation like Kingdom Hearts and Monster Hunter.

Well, if we speakabout western support, PSP one was better than DS and even Wii one, for the entire life of the three consoles.
If we speak about Japan support, I think that DS had the best support of them all, far better than any other console, but PSP was quite good. Good at the beginning, sufficient during the tougher periods, good after the MH bump.

I agree with you about VIta's early life period, but we will see if support will arrive in the secondo half of the year

Road, do you do these by hand, or is there a website you could point me to, as I´d like to compile one myself.
Garaph is a great graphing tool. But it doesn't have Dreamcast data, so I had to do those myself. (You can find data that is not on Garaph in Chris' database.)

Can someone throw the Gamecube up on here?
It did have the GC at first, but I thought there were too many lines.

The GC quick rise in the launch aligned graph is the 2001 holiday season, which is more prominent probably for being a Nintendo system and the September release (all the others were released in either Nov. or Dec.)
Super Smash Bros. Melee made a big deal of itself.
Thanks, I had forgotten about that.

Mine is missing Dreamcast, but

EDIT: Ahh, I see Road beat me to it. Yeah, I start things off with 2000 since what I had for earlier had gaps.

This is not a complete picture, but from the Famitsu data I've got in Garaph the sum of SCE games sold on PS2/PS3/PSP/PSV is about 27 million. Comparable to Nintendo/Pokémon's top 5 DS games.

Wow I didn't realize the Vita was tracking even behind the PS3. For handheld land that's insane. Also, looking at the next few months I don't really see any reason why sales would even spike above 20k..... Vita needs some positive news from the March 9th event badly.
