Hehe Sony wished every week would be like that. Almost 50/50 split with Nintendo.
Anything doing below MH, Pokemon or AC numbers is niche, OK?
We really have no baseline comparisons for this. Or do we? Has there ever been a TV version of a handheld?
lol, it's not niche at all.It's anime (not in the sense that there's an associated anime), it's niche
The 3DS, next week most likely.
From the way he's talking about it, I think he means suited to the hardcore audience when he says "niche".
It's more fun to assume he's serious.

It's riddled with them. Not sure how someone saying Sony is on its way to victory in the next handheld generation is being taken seriously.
Other than something like the Super Game Boy, no.
Yeah, it's quite defensive.

Damn, I wasn't expecting God Eater 2 to do so well. How did the first game sell?
Freedom Wars should hopefully do pretty well when it's out, then.
(We're never gonna get it in the west, are we?)

Is the impending 3D World release the cause for the users with "freez" in the nickname to go nuts?
EDIT:
But maybe it's just sarcasm, hard to tell these days.

Having recently started viewing these sales threads, I now look forward to your Vita-related posts. I don't know what it is, maybe your love for the little handheld that could, but your posts always put a smile on my face.
*raises lighter*
I swear I saw the unit sales and literally did a Banderas in lecture. The girl besides me asked me if I was ok. Lol
Is this a joke post?
EDIT:
anyone has PSP GO launch week number? VITA TV at 42K is really not that impressive considering it was sold out on Amazon when pre-order opened!
Good troll post.

freezamite definitely trolled some of you guys hard.
Isn't One Piece heading straight for bomba? At least based on Amazon and low Comgnet preorders, I don't think it's going to do much for the 3DS' baseline.

Yeah it's a bit odd. I think it'll be interesting to see whether interest grows when the platform gets better firmware support in future.

Solid Vita sales. Let's hope Sony can continue to build on it with more hunting games.
I really hope Tearaway does well in Japan. It's sooooooooooo good.

The first week it was 300k for God Eater and 260k for the updated God Eater Burst which was released in the west. 370k isn't very surprising.
It's an essentially a watered down Monster Hunter. It's the easiest cashgrab genre in japan.

Yeah but GAF's not really that sort of place is it?
Hopefully we'll get some big titles from Sony for the Vita soon.
You make it sound like the Vita TV's in a bad place. I don't think it is right now. Perhaps if we see a big drop next week.
Do you have the Comgnet comparison with the other titles handy? Seems like the Unlimited series is a decent seller to me, not sure where this bomba talk started.

One Piece Nintendo is not front loaded, if the game is good, it will sell well. Not sure about moving hardware though. 3DS is running out of system sellers and it's already at 14 million.

I wish more of the ludicrous posts on gaf were sarcasm.
Good numbers for the Vita and God Eater 2. I had hoped for better Vita TV sales but if we are realistic, we could not have expected much more.
It is a home console version of a struggling handheld in a handheld centric country and it doesn't even support all games. Even the 2000 model or price cuts didn't push the Vita more.
I don't know how big the market fir streaming devices is in Japan right now but I hope the Vita TV can be successful.

That remind of something I would like to asked.
I just joined GAF this year so I don't know 3DS performance pre-price drop. How well is it? And how many year/months in take before it received massive third party support which turned it into the monster we know today? Somebody please enlightened this soul. A brief summary even would suffice
IIRC, Gigant Battle entries were around 100pt (the second did 150pt, but sold less at debut than the first, which did 100pt), and Unlimited Cruise SP did 92pt (but it accumulated more pts due to the sudden delay); Unlimited World R is at 41pt (not including bundles, though)
Vita number 1 where it belongs.
Slay Queen!
Rise up Vita rise this is the beginning

Yassss drag them down! Now we wait for the sell through numbers so I can see if my 60/40 split with 85% sell through prediction paid off

Good numbers for Vita. But where is Turdning Returns? I had a Kefka_evil_laugh.gif ready.
