Well, it's a holiday. I'm not sure if shops are even open during all of the week?

Let's be realistic. If we said before launch that 12k would be the baseline for Vita, that'd still seem pretty damn bad, never mind it being heralded as some huge bump and reversal of fortunes.
If 12K is the normal level for Vita sales for the foreseeable, then the console is in terrible trouble.

Even though the game is unique and endearing in its own rights, the more I play Ciel Nosurge, the more I think, "A full fledged RPG in this world would be fucking amazing."
...and I totally expect Gust to take us back to Rashera in the near future.

I can't believe ORC is selling so well........
how depressing that Capcom is going to be encouraged now to do more games on the same level as this because people are willing to support it.

I didn't mean to imply that 12k would be the baseline or even "normal" for Vita. What i'm trying to say is that with a stream of good games it could rise to normal levels, around 25-30k.

Off the top of my head I could only name RE6, Yakuza 5 and Dragon's Dogma. The latter could probably go either way, though.
where? I blinked and missed it...
On RE:ORC -
I wonder if Dragon's Dogma is gonna even outsell this outsourced RE spinoff... Capcom's expectation for DD in Japan is so wack
I don't think Yakuza 5 is this year. Could be early 2013 instead.
Well having a game selling ~30k and a 3k bump isn't really showing strength.
Thank you. I wonder where RE and especially KH are. Well, next week Famitsu might tell us.

It makes me wonder if Japanese are buying this game just to support the notion that they want more Resident Evil games on home consoles. It wouldn't surprise me.
Though, I find the Xbox 360 bump to be kind of funny (I don't mean console sales bump).

Whoa, just noticed the PSP outsold the PS3.

Did it have a price drop in Japan? Or maybe people just really want that Conception game?
Ahem.

Are you kidding me? There are a million great 3rd person shooters that japan refuses to buy. Yet they bought one of the absolute worst.

Had they such a target from the very beginning? I wonder if they are going to meet it by reasoning or pure coincidence, considering their historic attitude to set the expectation bar outrageously high.
Terrible. But the people have spoken. No more RE on handhelds unless you want to give a Vita version a try. I see no reason to make another 3DS game if they can shit out ORC and move a million worldwide in no time.
Sure it will, Japanese sales aren't included in FY estimate.

Sure there are plenty of other better FPS's out there, but how many of those FPS's have Resident Evil in the title? It's the RE brand that is selling here, not the quality of the game itself.
Why did you tell me that ;(

PSP gets so many awesome games in Japan :lol
As for all that talk about "adding to the trinity", Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem aren't even close. They're doing great, but the trinity is in a whole different ballpark. We're talking games that have sold over a million and still maintain 10k+ weekly sales.

The "Ahem" was the sound of an embarassed cough :-( damn I failed that too !
I can not fucking believe the sales ORC is getting. I'm a huge RE fan and have no intention of picking it up until it's $10 or less. The power of that brand in Japan is kinda scary.
FE sales are crazy. It's already eclipsed Kid Icarus' total sales. I wonder how Nintendo feels about that. They marketed the fuck out of that game, I'm sure they expected higher sales.

To bad though. I really like Revelations.
