Oh? Today is that day?
Yes. Vita had to sell more than 19k to at least being on par with Dreamcast.

Hey, that's thread worthy.
I like the purple, it's much better than pastel blue, anyway.
........purple?

Well, I wasn't expecting those titles to boost the HW significantly, honestly.
Some believed those 3 combined would have enough power to keep it above the DC
Anyone have the dreamcast's final total?
Ys Celceta opened with 38k according to Famitsu. That's pretty close to Famitsu's opening numbers for Ys 7 (42k).
Vita might not be a mainstream success, but at least the otaku crowd (or whatever you call a Japanese hardcore gamer) is still buying "their" games.
Are those numbers normal/okay for the series?

Girls Mode DS - 86,446 (DS: 23.6M)

So almost 90k 3DS with no significant releases? Cool.
Wamagama Fashion + Pink 3DS LL released on the same day.

Pretty big difference for EDF sales.
Famitsu: 29,x k
MC: 14,x k
MediaCreate counts the two SKUs separated, while Enterbrain / Famitsu sums them in one SKU.

I at least expected 20k sales. PS3 sales are...
It is impossible to expect a higher bump in hardware sales from two games debuting below 40,000 units.
PS3 needs a price cut and this new mode will do nothing, in fact it should do otherwise in the West since it is more expensive.
Well, we can at least consider that this weekly decrease of PS3 hardware numbers is due to a (slight) interest about the new model, am I right?
So, we could see a peak for the launch of the new model, especially considering the release of RE6 at the same time.
Probably in the next months we will see a good increase of PS3 weekly sales, mostly due to the incoming big software + holidays period then new model but...

Ah ok, thanks for explaining.
Girl's Mode probably had an impact.So almost 80k 3DS with no significant releases? Cool.

Is it possible PS3 has reached it's saturation point at least at the current price point where Yakuza 5, Resident Evil 6, and Tales of Xillia won't really do much for the system? Of course the baseline will certainly increase heading into the holidays though.

As said, the new color, sold with the new "girlish" title, could have helped the total HW numbers.
and that remind me about:
Some believed those 3 combined would have enough power to keep it above the DC
three? I was thinkking just about ED and YS. Are you talking about a new color? If so, I agree that I was expecting more from Vita this week.

I agree!
"Three" could be referring to DJ Max or Nobunaga's Ambition, but I'm not sure why anyone would expect those to do anything

Cool, never saw that. Anyone know how the numbers on Garaph were calculated? Each double-pack technically is just two game cases inside of a box.

You're mixing trackers here. Garaph is using Famitsu numbers and you compared those numbers to Media Create's.

One double pack is one sale.

Garaph uses Famitsu? I thought they used Media Create for some reason. Anyway, erased it.
