Right around 80M, actually.
Was about to ask if the price slash W101 got helped it a bit in sales.

We tried to make it possible to join your own mii with TW100 as a hero. We hope we can do it in TW102.
I wonder if Nintendo will bankroll another one.

Seriously, the video game top tens are so boring and depressing, Same ol' stuff, new month. I think things could only get worst from here. No, Sony PS4 numbers??? Hmmm......

The military fps could do with a year off, the creed series too.

Add in PSN numbers and I think we're looking at something decent.

Bring on the nintendo all-star cameos to salvage some publicity?

Blame the format, they combine sales across platforms so of course the top ten will be dominated by games on 6 platforms.
Thankfully (?) it's for just December.

December of course.
december. ltd is 1.6-1.7m
Once it sells at least one copy(which will be mine) I am happy.
I think this is how the sequel will get greenlit.
Of course, if they were separated, then we'd having something like Call of Duty taking up half the list.
It will sell at least two, then!

Just December. <95k for lifetime is extremely terrible and it wouldn't even be on the market if it sold that terribly
Edit: Beaten like the Vita
Make that seven!
Yeah, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that digital sales probably at LEAST matched retail sales if we are to go by what we know about Vita owners' game purchasing habits. So probably 100k+ LTD counting physical+digital.

Just think... this time next month we'll only have 2 Vita games with known release dates on that upcoming games list.Borderlands 2 port is missing but still. I'm a sad panda.
Oyua numbers.
If they plan to support the handheld, they should drop OLED model, bring 2000 model with the price dropped to $150 with an 8GB card and Minecraft/Tearaway bundled.
Announcing some games would be helpful too. Games on the same scope from Tearaway, with smaller teams. Continue localizing japanese games and bringing indies like they are doing already.
Maybe it's my wishful thinking part talking here.

In that case, I think the 3DS will just barely edge it out. If Nintendo doesn't think of something new for the 4DS, they'll be in big trouble.

I have bought every Platinum game so far except Anarchy Reigns.
A big reason I even own a WiiU is for W101 and Bayo2.

Wow imagine if Sega was still making consoles/handhelds at this point... would be awesome.
You must be joking.

Honest SCEA is in most scenario gonna do jack shit outside of global Vita events.
The reason it got to this point was due to how little they did and this simply "vindicates" them in a way.

I wonder what they can do for each character to not offer redundant unite-morphs. Wonder-boot for mario, wonder-gunship for samus, wonder..... Boomerang? hookshot? for link ...
Wonder-landmaster for fox, wonder-lightning for pikachu...

I remember all the people going "Why would Sony release GT6 for a console with only 4-5 million sales versus a console with 80 million sales? They would be throwing away a lot of money launching GT6 only for the PS4."

3DS will not be viable long enough to get ~45 million more sales (including this past quarter). It's at 35 million and trending down.
I'm definitely going to pick it up after it bombas
jk jk I'm not even going to buy it after it bombas

35 million before Christmas. Probably 40 now, but still yeah.
Many underestimated the hunger for a new console generation, myself and apparently Sony included. A proper GT6 on PS4 would've sold 500k, much like Forza 5, I believe. But, you know, hindsight is easier than foresight.

What do we know about Vita owners' purchasing habits that suggests a 1:1 ratio between retail and digital?
Not even remotely. We know that 2/3rds of sales on Vita are digital so I was actually being really conservative.
Edit: I was remembering slightly wrong, but my point stands. Jack Tretton at the E3 conference said "60% of Vita game purchases are made on the PS Store."
If people would buy what they want and not care about sales everyone would be happier.
Bayonetta 2 is coming out, it is not going to get cancelled and if the game sells 20 million or 1 copy I am going to enjoy it the same.
Obviously it is better if the game sells gangbusters to keep P* up and running to make more games.
I will take it!
I will attribute it entirely to my topic and pretend I saved the world.
*rocks back and forth solemnly*
Only if it takes Sony that long to meet demand.
There can be only one!
