i think there forecast was 2:1 in favour of vita so i would assume the shipments to be around that

My 600k prediction was off, but I think this game will hit 1m between both platforms by the end of the year.

Seems like amazon JP might have sold all of their initial stock since earlier today there was a backorder for about a week. Though now it seems like they got restocked or something as the backorder dates are gone.
It's also 3 years since God Eater Burst. Game is going to do very well.

Still wondering if they'll end up localizing. Burst apparently sold about 30k in the US.
All of the game's trophies are apparently in English so ...
But Namco and Vita localization since when.
They are actually bringing over the new DBZ game if I recall right... so there is at least that
anyways glad to see the game do well... it looked well made from what i saw.

But DBZ IS DBZ after all

it is dbz still, but yet they aren't even going to bother with a physical release for the ps3 in NA... so at least to me it's a bit surprising they bothered bringing the vita version out at all especially after they skipped pirate warriors 2 (which also had a full translation to use with it, granted one piece isn't as big as dbz in the west :/)

There is a Vita bundle so the Vita should have a decent push. Not to mention Vita TV.
I thought they were doing physical for ps3 and Xbox 360 just not vita

Shipped does not = sold.

Pirate Warriors 2 ended up being in the top 10 PSN downloads for its release month here in the US (it's something). I guess the Toomami broadcasting is making a big difference. Maybe Pirate Warriors 3 will see a physical release here in America. Or maybe a Vita release :O

Good on Sony for convincing Namco to go for Vita in this case.

If that pans out, this is the moment the Vita has really arrived.
That's correct. The Vita version is DD-only in North America, where as it'll be available in Europe, and Japan at retail. The PS3, and 360 SKUs will be at retail worldwide.
Part of me expects Scamco to pull a SEGA and announce the Vita version of PW2 soon.

Just in case it's not clear, this is just shipped to stores. Don't know what the sell-through will be like...
Im not sure about the 360 version, but according to psn stores
we can hope for a vita release perhaps, but there is very little chance of a physical release as long as they don't dub it (weird sony of america rules not allowing subbed only releases unless you get an exception from what I have read around the net)
It's decently likely that pirate warriors 3 would be a ps4 release though, so the vita should at least have remote play for that.
ah perhaps i misread the psnstores story then, i'm just so used to getting screwed over by namco when it comes to physical releases for anime games that I assume the worst lol.
It seems overly optimistic, after all even Bamco expect only 600k LTD
Namco's expectation seems super low given that the first shipment is 500k and this is the sort of a game that you can expect at least some legs out of.
I wonder, how much of sellthrough can we expect ? Something between 50-80% ?
That would put the FW around ~300-350k (slightly better than GE1 and GE:B)
Has any Vita game showed any sort of legs so far ?
If we look at the two closest competitors in the same category here's what we've got
Soul Sacrifice : 105k (FW) - ~220k (LTD)
Toukiden : 127k PSV 70k PSP (FW) - 223k PSV - 157k PSP (LTD)
The ratio here is around ~50% FW.
Sure God Eater is "bigger", but not that much.

Vita means life.
Danganropa was the only one who showed positive growth, if that is how we define legs.
I am really curious about SS and the double pack. I remember it doing 20k in the first week and it may have gone to sell 10-15k more overall going by the single SKU. That would put SS at around 230-235 SKUs sold and around 240-260 games sold which is fairly close to the biggest seller on Vita in Japan.
?
Legs are when a game keep selling a significant amount of copies after its release, that's all.
Danganronpa probably won't have legs (it's already out of the chart this week).
Not that much? Didn't the first game sell 3x Soul Sacrifice? This is one of the biggest games of the year. It might even get close to a million ltd(vita+psp)
God Eater's sales were around 600-650k, when all is said and done Soul Sacrifice should be around 250k and Toukiden 450k with the latest two having the same kind of ratio FW/LTD.
God Eater opened at 276k and Burst 267k, GE2 shipment is 500k across both SKU
Even in a best case scenario 1M copies seems out of reach for the game so far.

The latest shipped+digital numbers from Tecmo Koei put Toukiden PSV+PSP at 470k. So I dare say it's proven itself to have solid legs.

People are expecting 300k increase for this game from the last? Based on what? This shipment should be gone by the end of the holidays though.
Initial shipment is close to GE1 ltd. GE1 ended up selling 2x it's first week. It's a highly anticipated sequel so I don't get the SS and Toukiden comparison.
Well digital sales are kinda a wild card (we don't know how much and when those digital sales happened) so I was assuming we were talking about physical sales only.
