I'd guess there will be a new Nintendo Direct in a vey near future detailing the exact line-up and dates for the next few months.

Media Create Sales: Week 30, 2012 (Jul 23 - Jul 29)
- Thread starter Chris1964
- Start date
I just had to wiki that, didn't remember it having a TBA for Fall in Japan. So somewhere between Sep to Nov. I would have guessed they left Animal Crossing for the holiday season, but the quicker the games are out the better I suppose
.40% of Vita's own LTD was sold at its first week.
It's normal for a new awaited console/revision to give interesting numbers.
I agree.
But they'll probably announce it after the PSP_VITA release and it will hit the market in Spring13, just to miss another opportunity

I think NSMB2, Oni Training and all the stuffs released in the past few months (Mario Tennis, Dragon Quest, etc) will be enough for the whole August.
I did not know this and my copy already shipped.
Is there a link somewhere to what got censored?

I'm curious as well. My copy has already arrived, I've watched the whole film and not seen any instances of censoring. I'd like to know what the fuss is about.I did not know this and my copy already shipped.

The 3DS doomed thing last year doesn't make any sense sometimes (I know the situation was/is more complicated than raw numbers and the following extrapolation). Look at those massive LTD, it's one year and a half in the market and already 7M. At this rate, it will top 32M again, and probably a little faster.
Anyway, next week everyone will look at the Wii a last time. I totally don't know what to expect, do we have at least shipment numbers for DraQue X?

Those seem like very solid sales for Super Danganronpa. Large increase over the 25k first week of the original, which is indicative of the good word-of-mouth it received. Good for Spike.
Looking Media Create has both a little lower I say there is 50,001% chance Media Create doesn't include cards from retailers unlike Famitsu. Maybe that will be better so that there is a rough estimate what they sell.
Significantly less than DQIX.
How did Legend of Heroes get a sequel after only selling 33K overall?
that's port of the PC game. it already had a sequel.

Falcom is quite efficient with their budgets.
The original Trails in the Sky trilogy was on PC. The PSP ports were released years after the PC releases.
Water is wet.
You mean Hatsune Miku Project Diva f?

Sarcasm? DS was selling crazily high in it's prime and the 3DS isn't doing nearly as well.
Thank you, I'll have to give my copy whirl after it arrives.

Eh... the mouth is still too big. Somebody please merge the 3DS with the 3DS LL in a pie chart and label it "the 3DS family". Then we'll see a real pacman
Enjoy. (Media Create sales btw)
Well at this point DS has had two hoilday seasons, while the 3DS has only had one. I don't think that 3DS will reach the DS's spotlight, but with Monster Hunter 4 and unknown titles at this point, who knows.

Dated release, yes. There's bound to be a couple more though (PES Playmaker 2013, Epic Mickey 2 localiztion, maybe Go Vacation 2, etc)
Ah, I think I know what they mean, but I'll have to cross-check against my DVD copy to be sure.
Bad as edits are, the intermittent blurriness in the film is far more distracting and that's the sort of production error that can't be undone. It's very unfortunate.

Imo, 3DS won't reach 32mln units, but it could still achieve incredible numbers by topping 22-23mln.
Is it me or are Mario Kart and Mario 3D Land not that big sellers anymore? I was hoping with the 3DS LL that it would boost those games past the 10k mark but that didn't help at all. And with ONI training and Nintendogs failing to catch its predecessors sales I wonder if Nintendo will focus only on core game now. I don't think that ONI training will go past 250k in Japan
Edit: forgot to add that the Hatsune game will push vita sales past 35k for a week and then slowly fall back to 10k a week

Mario 3D Land is the best selling 3D Mario ever in Japan.
Mario Kart 7 is tracking above DS and just below Wii version.
Nintendogs+Cats keeps selling and it's at 600k.
Oni Traning just debuted; it's a low-budget game, it'll be profitable even with 10.000 copies (exaggerating, but still).
Slowly? Define Slowly. For some people two weeks is pretty slow.

Yes, but it was consistently selling 100k+ units weekly in non-holiday periods for nearly 2 years straight. DS level success seems like a pipe dream, but I imagine that it will end at over 20m.

DS seems anlmost impossible goal, but how does 3DS compare to other (near 20m) sellers like PS2, GBA or PSP?

launch aligned, 3DS is tracking DS very closely, without including a second holiday or the LL launch (DSL launched around week 66):
Those two are fine. Mario Land is the best selling 3D Mario game as of yet, and it's still seems to be selling a respectable 5,000+ units a week in Japan. Mario Kart seems to be doing better than the DS at the moment (we'll have to wait until the end of the 3DS's lifetime to see the final result). We also have Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter selling great which will steal some of the current sales from the Mario game for the time being.
If Oni training does anything like Nintendogs for his gen (start off at 64.213 and now has 600,000+), its going to be selling little by little each week to a decent number within the next 12 or so months.
Yeah I know that, still I'm going to wait for the holiday season and Monster Hunter 4 to come out before trying to guess where abouts the 3DS is going to line up with. Let's see if stealing the PSP fanbase can at least make up for some of the drop with the casual games AKA Nintendogs, Brain Training.
you need to slow down a bit.

They are performing quite similarly, which is a good thing.

They're about a million apart, and unless the 3DS starts doing 100k weekly, the gap is going to widen. It's still impressive though that 3DS is somewhat keeping up.

1. DSL launched sooner than 3DS LL, almost 10 weeks sooner [the last spike around week 66]
2. DS had 2 holidays
What's interesting, is that prior to DSL being launched (refer to the second graph in my post), despite DS having 2 holidays, 3DS has been tracking it with very little difference.

Wow, 3DS really took off during its first holiday season with respect to PS2, PSP and GBA.

well, it had SM 3DL, MK 7 and MH Tri G launching almost at the same month, that did a wonder job
There was a PC version first? Sweet. I know Xseed has been really happy with their Ys Origin and Oath sales on Steam. Hopefully this means the Trails games can come to Steam if they are already finished!
More like after the price-cut if we need to cite a date.
Holy trinity sure did its job though.
Oh god you had to remind me. I need to get a move on with Rune Factory 4 and Etrian Oddesy 4 to try and finish their main stories by that point and I've got NSMB2 coming this week too. T_T
