What is the official price for 3DS and PSP in Japan?

I saw some 3DS > PSP and PSP > 3DS.

New 3DS color will release at 15K yen, new PSP color at 17.9K yen. 3DS bundles (with FE:A or MH) are 19.8K yen.

 

[frankie_baby]

[3DS] Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai - 185,000
[PS3] Mobile Suit Gundam UC - 45,000
[PS3] Street Fighter X Tekken - 50,000
[3DS] Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D - 24,000
[3DS] Girls RPG: Cinderella Life - 11,000

I will probably be totally wrong

 

[Chris1964]

Ocean blue PSP exists more than 2 years in Japan, The new value pack does not contain exactly an extraordinary new color that people will line to buy.

Thanks.
Amazing. PSP can price cut anytime.

 

[Castor Krieg]

Thanks.

Yes, but the question is will price cut mean anything now - everyone that wanted a PSP has it, IMO. Not to mention it will make Vita look even more expensive!

 

[vareon]

Let me try.

[3DS] Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai - 115,000
[PS3] Mobile Suit Gundam UC - 70,000
[PS3] Street Fighter X Tekken - 30,000
[3DS] Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D - 15,000
[3DS] Girls RPG: Cinderella Life - 25,000

Oh yeah I forgot Vita. Some reasons that I'm more into PSP vs 3DS war (same hardware style).

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Pretty hilarious no one cared when Sony was dominating, but all the sudden Nintendo is doing well and its "omg hey! hey! look guys!" lol

It's more interesting when anything is doing something huge or unprecedented. But Wii/DS slowing down is not the same thing as PS3/PSP dominating.

With price cuts at the right time and assuming sony dont kill it i wouldnt be surprised now if the psp lives longer than vita

 

[saichi]

even PSP price cut to cost lower than 3DS, the number won't pick up significantly and in no way will it challenge 3DS.

 

[Road]

[3DS] Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai - 111,111
[PS3] Mobile Suit Gundam UC - 55,555
[PS3] Street Fighter X Tekken - 55,555
[3DS] Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D - 33,333
[3DS] Girls RPG: Cinderella Life - 11,111

MSRP for the PSP is 16,800 yen I believe.

 

[Kenka]

We didn't make predictions for Week 9, did we ?

I wonder how Great Battle Fullblast will perform.

 

[pramath]

Is that when we get the numbers?

 

[JonnyBrad]

Is that when we get the numbers?

Predictions entry i think.

 

[Kenka]

Is that when we get the numbers?

The Famitsu ranking for top 10 will be available in roughly two hours and a half. That's why you have to hurry to give your predictions otherwise they will be not counted.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Don't we get the numbers every Wednesday?

Ah.
I wasn't interested in any predictions (and even if I were, I have no context anyway, it's been a few weeks since I followed Sales Age).

Thanks though!

 

[gembel]

it looks like One Piece sold 500k

[pramath]

http://blog.esuteru.com/archives/5963174.html

So this is better than other One Piece games, right?

 

[duckroll]

The blog says it sold over half a million in the first week. It doesn't specify how much it actually sold. The source is actually the same blog which said that the sell-through was over 90%. That means the sales for the first week should be close to or over 600k.

 

[Kenka]

I wonder how the triumvirate will hold on this week. Will all software which debuted last week fall past them ?

 

[shinra-bansho]

With no new releases this week that I can find, I wonder if PSV will finally sub-10K.

Am i right in thinking the 90% came from one specific retailer?

Maybe it will be time for Vegeta to show up.

 

[Alrus]

If their hold is as good as last week, it's a pretty safe bet.

Edit: Maybe Harvest Moon will stay higher, depends on how frontloaded it was.

I wonder more how Friday will impact Vita. We will know in a week/two weeks.

 

[duckroll]

I don't think so.

 

[frankie_baby]

I think harvest moon should stay above them

 

[John Dunbar]

wild surmise: vita will go up this week.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

With no new releases this week that I can find, I wonder if PSV will finally sub-10K.

13.939
12.309
11.186

Possibly. Would be very close to 10.000, like 9.800.

Things that could make sales go up:
- Vita Masters
- Vita Webcast
- Vita Game Heaven Ad

 

[Kenka]

I think harvest moon should stay above them

Then.... then...

Amazing figures If One Piece: Kaizoku Musou has debuted selling comfortably over the half a million mark.

In this generation only 7 console games have managed this achievement.

Final Fantasy XIII - 1,516,532
New Super Mario Bros Wii - 936,734
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - 816,198
Mario Kart Wii - 608,147
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - 605,660
Monster Hunter 3 - 582,548
Tales of Xilia - 512,544

Garaph has listed five games that debuted selling over 500k units but didn't break the million mark.

World Soccer Winning Eleven 9, Dynasty Warriors 5, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Tales of Xillia.

The most suitable choice would be Dynasty Warriors 5. It debuted with 560,733 units and ended its run with 917,985.

Dynasty Warriors 4 was a million seller game but it had a much bigger opening (723,127).
Samurai Warriors sold 1,024,253 units debuting with 620,893 units.

So if One Piece: Kaizoku Musou is very close or over 600k (better this) I see a viable (though not much likely) possibility to become the second million-selling game on PS3.

 

[Alrus]

Even with a 600k start I doubt One Piece Musou will have enough legs to cross the million.

Even with a 600k start I doubt One Piece Musou will have enough legs to cross the million.

If the game is anything to go by, it can have long legs

Harvest Moon held on nicely.

Seems Theatrythm has been restocked.

Theatrhythm makes a comeback. Number 5 this week.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[noobie]

Wandering if PS3 is going to get a boast of 40 - 50k...

 

[frankie_baby]

Looks like i was right abour harvest moon beating the 3 regulars, looks like hopefully it'll continue the series tradition of good legs

 

[twentytwo22]

Looks like it helps if your game is actually in stock. Interesting development.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Harvest Moon seems to have held well.

And WOW at One Piece.

What's currently the second highest LTD - and what's the likelihood of One Piece Musou topping that?

 

[Mr Swine]

Nintendomination! Looks like good software for the 3:rd party 3DS games ) too bad for vita though

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Harvest Moon seems to be holding on quite well, and it looks like Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is restocked.

Pretty big 3DS presence in the chart.
I didn't expect such a high debut for Mario & Sonic, though it could easily be in the 20-30k range.
