No early report for Vita 2000 or Vita TV. What the hell Famiteta.

And some comments before this week's report:

God Eater 2 out of the Amazon Top 20 already? This is when install base becomes a problem, it's sad (poor Pikmin 3). Will it face the same fate of Miku? Stay tuned!

Miku Vita - 158,009 / 214,515

Speaking of Miku...

Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai (3DS) – 9/8/9/7 33/40
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2 (3DS) – 10/9/9/9 37/40

Irrelevant review scores for sure, but Mirai 2 truly is a big improvement over the first game. Will it sell more though?

Miku 3DS - 88,737 / 180,696

Mirai - 183pt
Mirai 2 - 136pt

Wouldn't God Eater 2 be out of the Top 20 because of some shortages? That, or it's getting some horrible word of mouth. Sounds really surprising anyway, since Soul Sacrifice had some pretty good legs, and there's no reason for GE2, from an established franchise, not to have as good (or even better) legs.

About Miku 2, it's pretty good news. SEGA really add lots of stuff in that game (they even include the content from the 1st game). I'm pretty much convinced it'll sell much better, at least because of the much bigger userbase (think it more than doubled compared to when PM1 was released?).

Looking at God Eater 2 page, it's out of stock; it'll be available again on November 23rd.

 

[hongcha]

Amazon hasn't had stock of GE2 since release.

I know, that doesn't stop a game from charting though.

What about my Comgnet comparison? Did I do it right? I think I might have missed a day.

.....Yes it does.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

.....Yes it does.

It does? Care to explain Monster Hunter 4?

Yes let's compare one of the biggest franchises in Japan. Amazing.

When something is sold out at a store, it deters people from ordering it. It's not hard to understand. When it's the biggest title ever, even when you take that into account, it will still chart, because it's that popular.

So you are saying it doesn't stop a game from charting, thanks. Monster Hunter 4 was just one of the most recent example, games sell out all the time on Amazon.

And people can buy from third-party sellers, it's what's been happening since launch, as hongcha mentioned a few posts above.

It's higher unlikely that God Eater 2 is sold out in most stores though. If it's sold out on Amazon, that would certainly affect orders if people know that they can just go down to a store and buy it. Amazon rankings don't really mean that much to begin with.

Vita 90K. Wow. That God Eater effect (259K).

EDIT: Oh they're including Vita TV with it, still a nice boost from GE2.

Awaiting the "Vita now crushes 3DS in Japan"-thread that's bound to be incoming soon

Really solid numbers for GE2 and Vita (tv)!

 

[Magicpaint]

Holy Shit. Does the 90k for Vita include Vita TV?

Vita confirmed for actual champion this week. SmokeyDave's going to be happy.

Vita outselling 3DS? That's got to be the first one

Spoiler

and the last one

 

[pieatorium]

Hmm though base vita would be higher and tv lower

Already happened once at Soul Sacrifice release

It also happened during Soul Sacrifice week earlier in the year.

EDIT: beaten.com

God Eater 2 did really well, bigger debut than GE1 and Burst. Now let's see if the holiday can bring it to a bigger LTD as well.

 

[NotLiquid]

Gatdamn, Vita.

Also nice hold for Wii U.

 

[Kysen]

Loving the GE2 Vita/PSP split. Hopefully more studios can leave the PSP behind.

 

[cebri.one]

Wow Vita TV, i thought it would sell way less. Let's see how it performs during next weeks and after christmas.

 

[Ratrat]

Kinda expected more of God Eater.

 

[Pooya]

I expected God Eater first week to a bit higher. good sales still.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

God Eater 2 split was about what people were expecting I think.

Good stuff.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

yeah, we got a thread back then!

 

[Foshy]

Daigasso and WE14 PSP/3DS bombed pretty bad

 

[gamergirly]

Wait, so are we already declaring SM3DW a bomba? Seems premature even taking into account the poor COMGNET numbers.

Lol, its not a bomba until the game is released and actually "bombs". That's the whole phase of the word

...I can't even tell ya. Champagne flowing all over my desk. Remember this day well, for it is the greatest of days.


It's always the champion though. Always.

You sure you don't mean Soul Sacrifce release + epic price drop + lots of new releases?

Anyway, not sure if 42k is good or bad for Vita TV. Looks pretty meh in handheld land, I believe that's half what the Vita did at launch.

The Vita TV is not a handheld though.

vita did 340k at launch

Price drop was the week before, actually. I was just pinpointing the exact week, I know there were lots of factors.

Vita did 300k at launch.

Wait, I thought retail impressions were that people were choosing the cheaper model in drives over Vita TV? Pretty good launch for a new sku with limited game support.

 

[Magicpaint]

It'll probably have legs, though it's a significantly worse start than DX (more comparable to the first one on DS which opened at 32k).

 

[Raist]

Why would you pour champagne on your desk. Such a waste. Just do that with one of these nasty english ales instead.

I was just going off sell-through which is 20-40%, pretty low.

 

[BlackJace]

Party at your place, Dave?

'Cause I paid a hot chick in a Vita-themed bikini to lay across my desk whilst I did it.


Obviously.

I've just thrown the doors open and left a 'free booze' sign outside.

No you read it all wrong, people chose the standalone Vita TV over the Vita TV bundle.

 

[BriBri]

Disappointing Vita numbers inclusive of the new hardware launch.

[daxgame]

Actually I was expecting bigger numbers for Vita TV (around 70-80k), maybe it was just me.
But God Eater sent the normal Vita to good numbers, at least
