Media Create Sales: Week 14, 2012 (Apr 02 - Apr 08)

 

[Truth101]

What is up with the formatting?

Edit:

Fixed already, haha.

 

[saichi]

the gap between Wii and VITA shrinks... intense competition

and 360 still beats PS2!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

06./08. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G # <ACT> (Capcom) {2011.12.10} (¥5.800) - 15.047 / 1.390.226 (-10%)

1.4M next week! GOGOGO!

 

[electroplankton]

Another week untile PSVita drops sub-8k.

 

[Sadist]

Oh dear

 

[schuelma]

oh my

 

[Man God]

Harvest Moon refuses to die.

 

[test_account]

The only suprise here in my opinion is that Rayman Origins didnt chart. Such a pity, especially when it only cost 2500 yen.

 

[pramath]

Robot Wars has a bigger LTD than Kingdom Hearts
:lol

Is this normal?

 

[Alrus]

At this rate KH might not even reach 400k :/

 

[Kusagari]

The Vita collapse is beginning.

 

[vareon]

Very low sales?

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Vita has now reached terminal velocity

 

[darkwing]

wow no Vita software in sight

 

[jman2050]

When's Golden Week again?

 

[aknbad30]

Poor numbers for all...

 

[Principate]

Oh god Vita oh god. At least there's some games releasing next week which should bump it. Really Sony should announce a price drop with the announcement of the MH clone (if it is one).

 

[Shellshock929]

At least Kid Icarus is still hanging in there.

 

[Vic]

Disappointing week overall.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Uh oh

 

[Neuromancer]

Craziness.

 

[areal]

When's Golden Week again?

Begins end of next week.

 

[Defuser]

ugh,what is SCEJ doing?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Declines across the board. Guess that Alarm Clock app announcement didn't spike Vita sales.

 

[matmanx1]

Pretty sad week all the way around for most everything except 3DS hardware. And 3DS hardware should be even better next week since there's a new bundle with FE.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Next weeks numbers for 3DS should be huge.

 

[RurouniZel]

KH trying to get to 300K at least.

And it seems the Atelier audience only wants PS3 games

Spoiler

and less Bishonen.

 

[darkwing]

ugh,what is SCEJ doing?

story of SCEJ this gen

 

[walking fiend]

Robot Wars has a bigger LTD than Kingdom Hearts
:lol

Is this normal?

For KH, no; it has semi-bombed

 

[nextgeneration]

Next weeks numbers for 3DS should be huge.

What's releasing next week?

 

[Dead Prince]

how long before sub 5k

 

[ElFly]

Slow week.

Hope Fire Emblem does well...next week I think?

 

[Mpl90]

Next weeks numbers for 3DS should be huge.

In the next weeks, 3DS will rise again.
This week, there's Fire Emblem
Next week, GW will be near
The week after it's the GW indeed.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

06./08. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G # <ACT> (Capcom) {2011.12.10} (¥5.800) - 15.047 / 1.390.226 (-10%)

1.4M next week! GOGOGO!

Since IIRC Capcom extimated 1.2 mlls by the end of April, MH3G has sold 200k better than their expectations.

 

[darkwing]

how long before sub 5k

after P4 releases

 

[Fabrik]

Cool for Kid Icarus. 3DS is healthy. Third party developers are missing the boat again.

 

[Truth101]

What's releasing next week?

Fire Emblem with a new bundle released today.

 

[Kinvara]

I thought that the PSV had hit bottom (finally) but I guess not. 0_0

 

[pramath]

For KH, no; it has semi-bombed

I mean, I thought it would have a 500k LTD easily... right now, even 350k looks unlikely unless the game has INSANE legs.

 

[muu]

At this rate Vita will have a tough week against the wii when Mario party 9 comes out.

 

[Mpl90]

Since IIRC Capcom extimated 1.2 mlls by the end of April, MH3G has sold 200k better than their extimations.

Even more: those were their shipment expectations. Probably, right now they've shipped something like 1.5 millions or even more.

 

[saichi]

just noticed how bad Black Panther 2 is doing... might not even sell through the first shipment...

 

[Erethian]

after P4 releases

That's in June, plenty of time for sub 5k weeks between now and then. May especially is a very slow month.

 

[Nibel]

Oh boy

 

[clay_ghost]

Cool for Kid Icarus. 3DS is healthy. Third party developers are missing the boat again.

? But they are making a effort this time...........

 

[walking fiend]

I mean, I thought it would have a 500k LTD easily... right now, even 350k looks unlikely unless the game has INSANE legs.

Well, I didn't; particularly after we knew pre-orders weren't really good.

Though, I am not sure why? I am pretty sure the 'why' part was discussed in detail in previous MC threads. Maybe someone can help?

 

[darkwing]

That's in June, plenty of time for sub 5k weeks between now and then. May especially is a very slow month.

oops I forgot, I though next month was June, but yeah, looks like a sub 5k in May then

 

[Father_Brain]

ugh,what is SCEJ doing?

Soul Sacrifice, perhaps. I doubt a new IP like that will really take off without more established IP to drive hardware sales, but I've been wrong before and it does seem like the sort of title SCEJ should be creating.

 

[Endo Punk]

Don't worry Sony no one will think you're copying Nintendo if you go on major damage control, cut the price and buy a massive 3rd party exclusive.
