PS3 and 360 software is so fucked if Mass Effect 3 doesn't sell gangbusters out of the gate. Syndicate and Binary Domain cratered. Did Soul Calibur 5 actually release this week?
Vita launch looks healthy enough, and the good games gravitated to the top. Nice to see Rayman and Marvel get some love. Considering how absent handheld games were from the top 40 in 2011, this 3DS/Vita war should be a refreshing shakeup.

If we run into a scenario where safe sequels and all new ip bomb left and right on current consoles, fall 2013 may be too late to stem the bleeding. Both consoles badly need a price drop to spur growth.EA's quite strong in Europe when they actually care about their products, but I'm not holding out great hope for March's other titles like RE:ORC or even especially high hopes for SFxT.
Patrick Garrett said:Just been told Vitas sales figures for the UK. Strong. I cant publish them because theyre owned by Chart-track, but its good.
Its comparable to 3DS. Be interesting to see what Sony announces, because the Chart-track figure and the figure Nintendo finally announced for 3DS was very different.
The gap between Syndicate 360 and PS3 position wise is huge. Guess Vita is to blame for that, money was spent in other places for people invested in Sony.

Interesting. Great if true - it really does deserve it (well, except for game/memory card pricing). Unit itself is a stunning piece of kit.Saw this in the retail musings thread, but thought it worth a mention here.
Not sure if anyone on here can corroborate.
Was Dead Rising 1 ever ported to the PS3?I can't imagine ME3 PS3 will do very well. ME2 didn't do great on PS3 and history shows that late PS3 ports lead to disappointing sales for the sequel (Dead Rising 2, Bioshock 2) on that platform.
Indeed.
Excluding Uncharted, the rest of the PSVita titles combined are around 40000.

So about 66k pieces of Vita software combined?

So about 66k pieces of Vita software combined? Makes me wonder what the hardware was like...
So is it safe to assume the vita has sold less than 75k since wednesday?
DIdn't the 3DS do around 113K in its first weekend in teh UK?
The whole "dead week" situation is indicative of the impact the rise of used-games sales in the UK. People fob it off as a non-issue when they see big titles still shifting in large numbers, but tend not to consider the troughs that form between big releases.
Which if you think about it, is exactly where you'd expect to see used-sales bite most strongly as what do you look at when the new release shelves are lacking the next big thing... older games, and if you're buying an older game do you buy new at full whack or used at a substantial discount?
Only numbers I can find are an estimate from Nintendo of >150k. http://www.vg247.com/2011/04/01/nintendo-3ds-uk-launch-sales-beat-wii-and-ds/
If Vita software combined is like ~80k (as per prev posts), it's not out of the realms of possibilities the Vita has done half of what the 3DS did.

It's technically a minimum of 85K. Need to know the gap between FIFA Soccer (PSV) and UFC (360). E.g. every 1K increase in FIFA Soccer, amounts to a 5K increase in overall software.If Vita software combined is like ~80k (as per prev posts)
So what would be a strong number for Uncharted? 75k+?
With a good userbase, maybe. This is just launch.
I'm assuming most people who bought a PSVita also bought Uncharted, maybe as high as 70%.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss is the new No1 (31% of week 1 Vita sales)
It's hard to read the OP
Hmm, then that would be about half of the PSP launch as well....the people who said smartphones will affect the Vita userbase size may be correct. Obviously first week sales aren't the be all and end all.
It's hard to read the OP

That doesn't mean 31% of people who bought a Vita bought Uncharted.
SmokyDave said:Why do you feel the 'impact' has waited this long to show itself? Used games have been around for literally decades and I don't think there's been much change in their desirability / availability in the last 3 years or so. Supermarkets are slowly beginning to dip their toes into used stuff but not enough to affect this chart, I'd wager.
