In the top 50, there's only Minna no Golf 6, 31st, for Vita. Yes, Wipeout didn't even do top 50.

Eesh. That's really pretty bad.

This whole strategy never made any sense to me. You know going in that the early tie ratio is going to be somewhere around 1. So if you know you are only going to sell 500k hardware units, what the hell is the point of jamming 23 titles in there at launch. All that was ever going to happen was 500k units of software getting spread out amongst 20+ titles instead of 500k units getting spread out amongst 7 or 8 titles.- Vita hardware LTD: 512k. Software tie-ratio: 1.08 => ~553k total software (23 titles).
Are there any upcoming titles that will spur Vita sales? Obviously, the price point doesn't help, but is there any software at all?
Not that we know about.

Why not just launch 7 or 8 titles, and then release 2 or 3 more games every week, instead of going a month with nothing

ummm - okay?given everyone seems to want a Vita when it bombas and price crashes, i'm not so sure Sony aren't making sense.
People seem to want it (or enjoy trolling) , just not at the price at the moment. Regardless of anything, it won't be that price forever.
... they launched around xmas and people need a holiday in these companies? Plus you need as wide a variety as possible from the off to try and gain as many gamers as you can.
it's a game or two every week it seesm from now on though. between this and the 3ds my handheld library is getting messy.
Nice legs indeed!MHTriG seems to have really good legs to hang with MK7 and 3D Land, it saw an even smaller percentage drop than MK7. Are these kind of legs typical for a portable MH game? Not talking about numbers but percentage wise.
Really though, there was no benefit to Sony. They were going to sell those 300-350k units launch week with or without those bottom 10-15 titles. And having a steady stream of releases for the next 4 or 5 weeks following launch may have (probably not much, but it couldn't have hurt) helped maintain momentum a little better following that opening week.
Wipeout + Japan = <1k sales kind of game.
It's almost like that in the US too. Didn't the last PSP one sell like 11k total in the NPD?
I honestly have no idea why Sony keeps making games in the series. I mean, they're REALLY REALLY GOOD games quality-wise, so it's almost like they're just making them for charity/goodwill at this point.
Sony must get Western Developers on board even if it means large moneyhats
So next fiscal year we will get a new 2D Mario plattformer, a Revision (?), Pokemon main title (?), Animal Crossing and Tomodachi Collection 2. And maybe MH 4, if Capcom is ready to release it in Q4 of their FY.
3DS second holiday season could become even stronger if Nintendo plays their cards right. Sony better have "fixed" their Vita software situation by then.

Relative to first week performance, it's looking a lot like Portable and Portable 2G on PSP so far, a bit lower now that things are slowing down.MHTriG seems to have really good legs to hang with MK7 and 3D Land, it saw an even smaller percentage drop than MK7.

Not that inflexible, actually. The chips are not flash, but they are erasable. No reason to ship unsold stock to Alamogordo, New Mexico - the cartridges can be repurposed.If you're prepared with a second shipment, yes. Especially with Nintendo's possibly still highly inflexible cartridge manufacturing process.

EDIT: Though on second thought, that comparison is pretty flawed. It always bases things off the first week number, but they didn't all have the same length of first week, as is more obvious if we take a closer look:
This works in Tri G's favor in the first image. If it had a few more days of sales first week, its gains relative to the first week wouldn't be so big.
MHP has sold 5.5m?!!!
It's probably a ratio thing not million of units sold.MHP has sold 5.5m?!!!
yes, I feel bad for my brainHe dun goofed. Look at MHP3's total, lol.
Edit: We dun goofed.
correct; MHP legs are really crazy, Mario level of Crazy. Just shows how it emerged from being an unkown quantity.It's probably a ratio thing not million of units sold.
Brain Training is even more spectacular on that regard ;-)correct; MHP legs are really crazy, Mario level of Crazy. Just shows how it emerged from being an unkown quantity.
Hahaha. In the graph creator there's a "Percent based on first value" option. It divides all of a game's numbers by its first week total. So everything is at 1.0 the first week. Reaching 5.5 means it sold 5.5x its first week number.MHP has sold 5.5m?!!!
edit: ah, ho, it is only legs? That is sales in 100k after the first week?!
edit: maybe it is a multiplier of LTD/first week?!
edit: wtf is that? I feel like an idiot now

I'm quite sure that MH4 will be a 2013 title, together with a "main" episode for Pokemon. Not sure for the revision.
More realistically we should have just Mario2d, Animal Crossing and Tomodatchi collection as big seller.
I'm quite sure that MH4 will be a 2013 title, together with a "main" episode for Pokemon. Not sure for the revision.
Second year in a row without a main Pokemon would be really weird.
Their Q4 FY is 2013. Could be that they hold it back till fall/holiday 13 but looking how fast they are developing their current 3DS I would be suprised if it would take much longer.
Pokemon Grey or a B/W follow up seems like a given for this year.
If with Pokemon MAIN you meant Pokemon GREY, I'm in: it could arrive within end of March, 2013.
I was thinking about a "real" brand new Pokemon title, such as, I don't know: Pokemon Rainbow for example
About MH I'm preeeetty sure that we will not see it before FY 2013. FY 2012 for MH will be on PSP (I'm not trolling or doing port begging: I simply think that at least a MHP3G could hit Vita ASAP)
Are there any upcoming titles that will spur Vita sales? Obviously, the price point doesn't help, but is there any software at all?
