Media Create Sales: Week 10, 2012 (Mar 05 - Mar 11)

Thanks to Chris1964 for software and hardware organized,releases,the Database and Previous MC Thread links layout and to Cheesemeister for the "Boxart images for top 5" concept and "Software" and "Hardware" images, as well as the old Sales Age Spirit
And a special thank to Takao, who will always watch this threads saying "VitaVitaVitawhyyouVita"

 

[JakkuFurosu]

Vita hanging above the 10k mark

 

[Somnid]

The Vita 10K suspense is killing me.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Nice sales for PokeNobu and Shining Blade.

Legasista bombed pretty hard, but then again so has everything from N1 this gen that's not Disgaea. How are they still alive?

 

[Gravijah]

the vita loves me <3

 

[Exterminieren]

Holy Crap, did not expect that for Nobunaga's Ambition. The power of Pokemon, I guess.

Vita's clinging on is getting sad by this point.

EDIT: THE TRINITY IS BREAKING UP. ;_;

 

[zroid]

BY A THREAD


also, ME3's debut...

 

[jimmypython]

This week's fun time has started!

 

[Kazerei]

New stream crossed

 

[Kangi]

Just... a few... more... just drop under 10k already, Vita! It won't hurt you... much.

 

[weeaboo]

[3DS] 07. If I Were in a Sealed Room with a Girl I'd Probably XXX (D3, 12.03.15): 18,291 (NEW)

so silly

 

[Truth101]

Harvest Moon looks like it will have some legs, hopefully.

Also Snake Eater 3D wasn't the bomba everyone thought it would be.

 

[FoneBone]

What have prior Nobunaga games debuted at?

 

[ace3skoot]

Just... a few... more... just drop under 10k already, Vita! It won't hurt you... much.

sony are probably buying about 50 vita's a week to make sure sub 10,000 never happens lol

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Seems that the Vita has stabilized.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

[3DS] 07. If I Were in a Sealed Room with a Girl I'd Probably XXX (D3, 12.03.15): 18,291 (NEW)

All this time I was assuming this was a PSP game.

 

[InsaneZero]

How the hell did MGS manage to sell that much?

 

[RurouniZel]

Project Mirai broke 100K! &#65340;(^o^)&#65295;

 

[Truth101]

How the hell did MGS manage to sell that much?

Metal Gear has a dedicated install base.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

[3DS] 07. If I Were in a Sealed Room with a Girl I'd Probably XXX (D3, 12.03.15): 18,291 (NEW)

Well, that's a creative name.

 

[zroid]

All this time I was assuming this was a PSP game.

Need that 3D jiggle

 

[PikaBitca]

An interesting point to observe is that with the release of a big new DS game, the 3DS didn't get a hardware bump. Even an admittedly non mainline Pokemon game.

Does anyone think this is bad news for the prospects of a hardware bump for Black/White 2? Or is a confounding variable people waiting for the new bundles and colours coming out? Another thing to consider is whether a relatively niche game like Nobunaga even expected to cause a hardware bump?

 

[BassForever]

Theatyrhm is gone again wonder if it'll apppear in the top 30

 

[Gambit]

so silly

Why silly? they just really like that Vin Diesel flick.

Poor Mario 3D Land. Come back to the Top Ten soon.

 

[Hero]

Surprised at Vita above 10k still.

Good legs for Harvest Moon. MGS3D not that bad sales wise.

 

[boingball]

Vita hanging above the 10k mark

Indeed, I am surprised as well. I wonder whether Sony is buying Vitas to keep it above 10k. (I am joking).

oh, beaten:

sony are probably buying about 50 vita's a week to make sure sub 10,000 never happens lol

 

[Dystify]

What have prior Nobunaga games debuted at?

Those sales are better than the best LTD sales of any prior Nobunaga title.

 

[zroid]

Those sales are better than the best LTD sales of any prior Nobunaga title.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Snake Eater is holding up pretty well considering how everyone was screaming "BOMBA" before it even came out.

 

[walking fiend]

MH is so going to break 2m this year.

 

[John Dunbar]

[NDS] 10. Mario & Sonic at London Olympics (Nintendo, 12.03.01): 16,183 (82,924)

Is there a DS version or should that be 3DS?

 

[Kazerei]

What have prior Nobunaga games debuted at?

Debuts were all less than 50k.

It seems Pokemon + Nobunaga is performing on par with other Pokemon spinoffs.

 

[Frillen]

#10 is a 3DS title and not a DS title, right?

 

[massoluk]

An interesting point to observe is that with the release of a big new DS game, the 3DS didn't get a hardware bump. Even an admittedly non mainline Pokemon game.

Does anyone think this is bad news for the prospects of a hardware bump for Black/White 2? Or is a confounding variable people waiting for the new bundles and colours coming out? Another thing to consider is whether a relatively niche game like Nobunaga even expected to cause a hardware bump?

New bundles and colors are just about to come out dude. You think too much into it.

 

[Eteric Rice]

3DS software sales seem to be doing okay. Also, very nice for Pokemon/Nob.

 

[electroplankton]

Imo, If I Were in a Room with a Girl did fairly well.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

MGS3D's sales aren't impressive to me, people expected less?

MH is so going to break 2m this year.

Why hasn't it already?! 3DS doomed!

 

[D_prOdigy]

So the Monster Hunter 3G bundles were... ineffectual? They released on the 17th, right?

 

[Xellos]

Nice to see MGS hanging on. It's a fantastic game and the port is better than it gets credit for.

 

[Salvadora]

Thought Pokemon would open lower.

 

[Man God]

I think we'll remember this week forever as the one where Vita finally won.

I mean, it has stabilized while the poor unloved 3DS keeps dropping thousands of units a week.

I mean the mighty Vita has already conquered the DSi and the DSi LL, it's only a matter of time.

 

[Smellycat]

IT IS OVER 10000!!!!

 

[electroplankton]

So the Monster Hunter 3G bundles were... ineffectual? They released on the 17th, right?

Shortage?

 

[Exterminieren]

MGS3D's sales aren't impressive to me, people expected less?

With the HD port, and the general shittiness of the 3D version? It has done very well indeed, considering the circumstances.

 

[Mr.LightMan]

Biggest surprises, SM3DL fell of the top ten and PxN was the top seller.

 

[djplaeskool]

-Good on Shining Blade
-Lower then expected for Legasista and Probably XXX
-Vita continues to live dangerously
-PS2: I thought I told you that we won't stop I thought I told you that we won't stop I thought I told you that we won't stop I thought I told you that we won't stop

 

[Dash Kappei]

This week's no fun :/
Are those Nobunaga X Pokemon numbers good?

I wanted to see Vita at 9999 just for giggles honestly
Btw, is MonHun up? Also I don't see OPM reaching 1M at all. With Best release it'll definitely surpass that tho. PSP still going very good software wise, I wonder if HM will show some legs and still be over 10k next week with the new 3DS bundles hitting, I hope MGS3 3D will still show up on the TOP20 because of that.

edit: Wait, new the bundles were for this week? That's not good at all then.

Also nice numbers from Pokémon and PSVita lives dangerously! Hope this will get better.

Power of Pokemon! Never doubt it. Good debut for the Shining game also. I'd love for the game to continue to do well and for the series to make a comeback.

Decent legs for Project Mirai, the holy trinity, One Piece, Snake Eater and Harvest Moon. That NIS game bombed hard.

FFS, we need to wait another week before PSV drops below 10K?
