because Vita means life. Said so by its fans.

Wow, 3DS is destroying all on its path right now. I think it could be responsible for the pathetic sales elsewhere.
PSVita owners seem to be more receptive to new games. I guess new IPs would have a better chance to succeed on a younger platform than on PS3 wight now.
cause otherwise every game would have done better on 3DS

New record ?

I just think that as with TW101, there's not much appeal for a game like this in the market, sadly. It wouldn't have done much better to save it from bomba, that's for sure.
Yeah, definitely won't be another shipment. This will mess up some predictions I saw.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Japan just a one platform country at the moment. Can't be healthy. All eyes on the PS4 I guess and Sony to single-handedly revive home console gaming?
this, poor Puppeteer, even with the larger PS3 fanbase, it almost equaled KZ:M
This year's release list (without re-releases). I bolded the titles which I believe are Top 10 sellers, might have missed or overestimated some. Biggest one is definitely going to be God Eater 2.
The revision (PCH-2000) hits October 10, Vita TV November 14. People might hold off buying Vitas until those 2 release.

High attach rate and higher acceptance for new IPs. I can't see it doing less than this tbh.
another 3DS bump. meanwhile Wii U has reached almost PSP levels.

3d selling more than double all other systems combined, sounds like more of the same to me
You forgot mobile so it's 3DS and smartphone games
. I personally think home console market is done for in Japan.Do you have those for MC?

Nope but Aquamarine might have.

Smartphones, man. They're the new hotness.
I have my doubts. I'd say the Vita TV has a better chance than the PS4.

With the data we have, yes. But in overall terms maybe not since there is no way to know the sales drop-off for those titles outside of top 10 or top 20.

*deep and soul-rending sigh* All hail Wonderflick, the future of the medium.
Puppeteer should have been a PS4 launch thing really, not that I ever really imagined it would do well in Japan anyway. I'm interested in it myself, but there certainly is something off-putting about the whole thing. The pantomime voices and weird EVERYTHING JUMPING aspects of it grind my teeth a little.

With such sales, I'm wondering why Japan isn't fully supporting 3DS.

Pacman will return next week.

New thread today?
Ehh. I am skeptical. Third parties seem content to keep on the platforms they are having success with, and I have seen little evidence of a renewed focus by Sony first parties.

Numbers came out half an hour ago, the op is later than usual.

It really is, especially considering that Puppeteer should be much more appealing for the japanese market. Being outsold by a FPS on a system with a fraction of the PS3's user base is really something else.
I guess it's a case of PS3 owners rather playing something else and vita owners being desperate for new games.

Just because the hardware sales are there doesn't mean third party are assured success. For instance, its going to be interesting to compare New IP Hunting game Gaist Crusher to Toukiden and Soul Sacrifice come December.
Sometimes the lack of titles that eat all the pie on a platform can be a boon for third party.

Surely you mean Vita TV?
This week's sales are up to last Sunday, so the Vita revision wasn't announced yet when the counting period ended.
If sales will go even lower due to the upcoming revision, we haven't seen the bottom yet...
Yeah, I know. I didn't talk about this week specifically, just that sales probably won't rise much until they come out.

Ugh. If only they'd waited for enough PS4 pads to be made or something. It seems like such a half bungled product where stuff like the systems best games like Gravity Rush CAN'T be played on it. Hopefully Sony patch it or something or just... what a weird half measure release.

Puppeteer is a western game - not surprised that it didn't sell well in Japan.
Well, maybe not all of them is supporting 3DS, but the majority is. Even Square seems to be back on track. Since August, we've had DQM2, Bravely Default:Fts, with the promises of the sequel, and Theatrhythm 2. And let's not forget DQXI will be on 3DS with almost no doubt.

Wind Waker is out the 26th in Japan and I don't believe a price cut or hardware bundle has been announced.

11k for Killzone doesnt exactly sound like Vita owners are desperate for new games.
What do you mean? It's made by SCE Japan Studio. Or do you mean it's western influenced (I'm not seeing it myself).

Killzone is a somewhat established IP in Japan and the Mecernary sales are actually quite poor compared to Killzone 2 & 3. I don't think there's a real winner here.
