Some say glass half full and some say glass half empty. the point is it could be worse and there is no denying sales are currently bad.

Price drop would tempt a few more, but they've saturated their market with what the 3DS can do at this point. (All of this really does lead me to believe a mid-summer release on the NX handheld in Japan.)

Bigger than WiiU, though
10 WIU Taiko Drum Master: Wii U Version! 17,518 / 181,289
24 WIU Taiko Drum Master: Tokumori! 9,582 / 60,087
Where the game had notable, normal, Taiko legs.
I don't think it's going to have legs on Vita because of audience mis-match, but userbase has nothing to do it.
Also worth noting that despite a "steep decline" from 62k -> 41k from 3DS -> Vita, it's miles better than it did on WiiU. So if they're going to alternate platforms like they seem to like to do with Taiko, seems a decent enough choice.
You have mixed things a lot even with threads archive at first post.

I went to Tokyo last year. Everything was Yokai Watch.
I wonder what magic it needs for this to become real.

AC:HHD might give incentive to substitute the old 3DS model (bought for AC:NL) for a New 3DS.

Milking Yokai so much that soon enough they could end world hunger with the milk.
Heh.

It was positive comments more in regards that the hardware sales had improved compared to before.Well those people are wrong.
There are two.
Wait... I know there are two, but I think I got that detail wrong. The AAI team is now the mainline series team, I think, and they've announced they're working on a separate AA title. So DGS would be made by different people than AA5.
It's really not being milked that hard right now.
Be careful because you'll see Yellow Bird at the end of 2015.
Thanks! I suppose that future AA games will be bouncing back and forth from mainline and DGS then.
Capcom has been pretty clear this is their general development strategy for their games going forward:
Source: http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/data/pdf/explanation/2014/full/explanation_2014_full_05.pdfCapcom said:
See Monster Hunter's 7+ simultaneously developed games (MH5, MHX, MHS, MHE, MH Cats, MHF2,, MH Moe) and the Resident Evil mix of HD remasters, mainline games, and Revelations for other examples.
Their f2p games and Street Fighter V are a bit different since they're constantly developed platforms, but there are often still at least mobile spin-offs.

Good opening for Yo-Kai Busters. I'm happy to see YW3 pushed back to next year; I was getting worried that Level 5 were going to Level 5 over this franchise, and it's nice to see they aren't burning it out quite that fast.
The franchise needs to stay around until at least 2017, to give Game Freak a continued kick up the arse.

If it continues to see the sharper declines, it's possible.
When there's 7k left for it to cross that threshold???
I do wonder if Nintendo will drop the price for all the 3DS models before Xmas. I really can't see it do big numbers anymore and that sales will likely be much lower next year until Nintendo releases the NX.
I do hope they announce it at the beginning of the year and fully unveil it at E3

COLOPL, one of Japanese mobile gaming's biggest success (they very frequently launch major successes, sometimes even getting astronomically huge chart topping ones like White Cat and Quiz RPG), has gotten another game titled Battle Girl High School to be able to reach the top 10.
It's not doing so with consistency yet to note, but it is a good sign that it's been going up progressively and got here several months after launch instead of just with the launch.
As you probably guessed from the title, it's an otaku game about petting girls and stuff, though the main gameplay loop appears to be about the high school girl battling:

Poor Takumi, at least it's nowhere near a Ghost Trick situation. Hopefully Capcom will let him make the sequel, especially since it sounds like it was made with one in mind. As much as I love Phoenix, I don't think they can keep him around forever so hopefully this can find more success and Capcom will be open to the idea of other types of GS games with different characters.
Though I have to say I still wish we could get a Ghost Trick sequel instead, all that design work into making the villains in that game could've been put to use in another game. But I guess sales were far too low for that one.

the cats are coming for minecraft: https://twitter.com/Cygames_PR/status/621203352529940480
Cygames will begin running Airship-Q Vita articles in CoroCoro Comic. This is the same "strategy" Minecraft has used.
too bad for cy, but the slimes are coming for them
Typically speaking Japanese sales charts don't bundle up platforms. The PS4 version isn't included in that list because as of last reporting it did 311k.
how crazy of them huh.
seems like a typical week. 3DS on top, good sales all around, WiiU floating above the void, all is well
Right, the movement of Rhythm Heaven and the inclusion of Yokai Watch Busters knocked the PS4 version of DQH off of that list.

Persona 5 conformed to do 2 million+
The PS3 retail version was 100k iirc
Not sure about PS4 digital.
Capcoms best HD remaster was MHP3rd if that counts.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I'm not even sure the new one will be able to top Gates to Infinity, let alone 300k.
