Nothing makes me happier in a Media Create thread than to see Level-5 continue to struggle to find even a fraction of the success they did in their glory days. Suck it Hino. Try harder!
The curse from Japanese Gundam fans continues...

You forgot to look at Youkai Watch, sir
Wow Odin Sphere only sold 100k? I seem to remember that it did 200k. My memory is getting worse than I thought! ._.

You think 100k is some sort of success for a Level-5 crossmedia project? Lol!
All charts launch-aligned. All data from Famitsu.
Weekly numbers presented in logarithmic base 1,000 for clarity. In that case, zero units are represented by one unit.
Note, since this draws only from the top 30 it does not represent smaller titles.
e.g., software sales of zero are assumed if the console has no games in the top 30.
Tally of the number of titles for that platform in the top 30 for each week.
Certain weeks may have titles that aren't represented. These are the PS3's 7th and 25th, and the Wii's 4th and 23rd.
Feel free to criticize or point out mistakes.

Glad to see AA5 and DC sell so well. Good week overall.
WiiU probably won't survive >10k next week, though.

Great start for Ace Attorney5!
Very good numbers also for Dragons' Crown, especially for Vita, that sets a good HW number too.
Solid 3DS sfotware overall, with Mario&Luigi that drops, but not so much, Tomodatchi, AC, Luigi and even DK that hold.
About L5 I think that their policy of re-releases still pays: minimum efforts and decent number for both LBEW and Fantasy Life Link, imho. And Yokai Watch seems really solid, considering that it is a brand new IP and that the cross-media promotion isn't started yet.
Pikmin holds but overall it's negatively affected by a Wii U that obviously isn't hot at all.

Good start for Wright. Hopefully this means the Ace Attorney series won't die!*
*Lol at it ever dying, fuck you Capcom

If you're comparing with last year...last year, in this week, 3DS XL + NSMB2 came out.

As a relatively stable follower of this thread series I'd say these numbers look pretty much like business as usual.
I will never forgive Hino for what he did. It seems I'm not alone. Karma's a bitch, and he owes a lot.

Great split with between PS3/Vita for Dragon's Crown. Hoping the Vita is instilling some confidence in Japanese publishers and game developers. It is obviously capable of delivering good sales. Toukiden also just passed 200k physical copies as well.

[B]FAMITSU HARDWARE SALES (July 22nd, 2013 - July 28th, 2013):[/B]
3DS - 55,719
PSV - 17,776
PS3 - 11,153
[B]WIU - 10,937[/B]
PSP - 5,346
WII - 1,435
360 - 277Looks like Wii U is going below 10K next week.
It's just the beginning, and the linked media projects haven't started yet!
The "beginning" is usually also the "end" for Level-5 sales in general.
Their products suck, and no one gives a fuck anymore. The only people even buying their stuff anymore are kids who don't know any better, and even those numbers are drastically reduced. It's over for Hino's scam empire really.

I think Vota can be a healthy platform in Japan if it gets some decent exclusives but I'm pretty sure its unsalvageable in the West.

At a certain point the audience for a game stops scaling with installed base.
Nice Dragon's Crown sales and good hold for Pikmin.
Wii U will be sub 10K again next week. Curious whether it hits sub-5K again.
Whoa, looks like Dragon's Crown sold more on Vita than Grand Knights did on PSP even though the user base is a just a fraction in comparison. And DC was a cross platform release.
Vita doing good for Vanillaware so far.

Fear not, they are working on re-releasing the Layton series as straight ports as we speak.
It's almost as if it happened like...minutes ago! Aaah, how fast time passes...

So what exactly is the story between you and Level-5/Hino :lol
I always assumed that Level-5 were the good guys since they brought us Layton and Inazuma which I enjoyed on the DS, but other than that I don't know that much about them

Really good numbers for Ace Attorney. Shame it's DoA in the west.

Vita, Vita, Vita!
I am slightly surprised by Dragon's Crown being as high as it is, well done!

ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Level-5 makes turdy and unfun games. They're only pretty.
Heck even Ni no Kuni PS3 wasn't exactly fun (because of the crappy battle system).

Woo! Go Dragon's Crown!
Thought Pikmin would hold better.
Nice to see Vita holding in there.

Am I really reading this?
Amazing that Kuma Tomo is over 30,000.
No Chibi Devi 2 though

How much does the Vita sell on a weekly basis in EU and US?
I think that a pricecut, RemotePlay, Gaikai, indielove, Sony 1st party and some key 3rd party IPs(GTA) would be enough to save the Vita in the west.
But I am not sure if Sony cares enough about the Vita to deliver all that.
Two words: Gundam Age.
I wonder if duckroll will be happy to see Lev-

Well Galaxy is an improvement! Sort of.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Inazuma Eleven by all accounts is what I would consider to be fun, I just hate the direction they decided to take with the plot and setting.
