Media Create Sales: Week 36, 2012 (Sep 03 - Sep 09)
 
Can someone put these Art Academy sales in perspective for me? The Wii U should have no issues this holiday with how terrible everything else is doing.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
[NDS] Egoko Classroom DS (Nintendo) 22.053 / 322.644 / 6,84% 19/06/10

Wonder how the percentage for digital sales is on this one - should be more in line with the Demon training data we got - so around 20-25% maybe ? Who knows...

btw. I wonder how Ys will effect Vita hardware sales - maybe +20K is possible again.

Oh shit, Medarot is actually its name in Japan?

I always thought it was a GAF joke born from the sheer number of games in the series.

Seems I missed this, what's the amount of online sales for this one?
 
PS3 continues to really struggle compared to last year. Seeing the new slim and it's lack of a price cut makes me question even more what sort of legs it will have (even with the big releases this year). If sony/MS are planning for 2014 releases things could get real ugly by then.

Vita already way below 10K again. Scary to think how low it's going to go.

Tekken also is performing badly and that isn't contained to Japan, series has really taken a dive.

Nothing too exciting on the software front, looking forward to the next big release.

Nothing too exciting on the software front, looking forward to the next big release.

Don't fudge the numbers! It's not below 10k.
 
PS3 continues to really struggle compared to last year. Seeing the new slim and it's lack of a price cut makes me question even more what sort of legs it will have (even with the big releases this year). If sony/MS are planning for 2014 releases things could get real ugly by then.

Vita already way below 10K again. Scary to think how low it's going to go.

Tekken also is performing badly and that isn't contained to Japan, series has really taken a dive.

Could in fact an even uglier system at the same price actually do even more harm
 
Oh shit, Medarot is actually its name in Japan?

I always thought it was a GAF joke born from the sheer number of games in the series.

Takao am cry

Gosh Vita sales are depressing, Sony needs to give it the old yeller treatment.

I don't know what to comment :eek:
Everything except 3DS HW numbers seems so flat.

And then looking overall the 3DS numbers are good, but not good enough to even come close to making up for how bad everything else is doing. It's just really hard to feel positivity about gaming in any region right now.

Basically it's everything doing bad except 3DS. That's it.

Looking forward to buying a Vita. Mainly for PSP and PSone games, but can see myself reading manga on it, or watching movies as well.

As for Vita games.... MGS and Persona?

Sony would have shown the shit out of them last night. Maybe there is some slight hope for Persona 5 to have a port.

Any reasonable guesses as to why it's performing so bad? Was it SFxT, Tekken 6 or are fighting games just on their way out again?
 
16./19. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate # <ACT> (Capcom) {2011.12.10} (¥5.800) - 6.555 / 1.554.159 (+3%)

Too small to signal anything, but it didn't die and the game is still selling.
I have a feeling it will be on the charts until 4 comes out, at which point the WiiU game will continue selling (Until 4 Ultimate).

Wonder how the percentage for digital sales is on this one - should be more in line with the Demon training data we got - so around 20-25% maybe ? Who knows...

btw. I wonder how Ys will effect Vita hardware sales - maybe +20K is possible again.

i missed those numbers... can someone link please?

And it looks like its only going to get worse. I love my Vita but I hate how Sony is handling it. It's like they never cared.

fix'd for you
