not brilliant but not terrible for 3ds (especially seeing as no games released this week) i'm thinking a decent boost next week though

Oh awesome, Gravity Daze did higher than I expected
Vita is in big trouble though, Sony need to turn it around and get some new games revealed

Uh, Vita, don't die. Not with titles like Gravity Daze...

next week
Yes, pretty decent compared to our expectations!
Also if I think that Sony should still look for it's own "japanese franchise" to push the HW...
...70k are not brilliant? Seriously?

I really wish I could say I was surprised.
Depends on how you define "die." It seems that Gravity Daze didn't move hardware at all.

Gravity Daze numbers are good (considering the hardware numbers), especially considering DLC sales (at least 1,000 plus).
Vita hardware numbers are horrible. Looks like everyone who wanted GD already had a Vita.

Surely gravity Daze should have pushed it up, maybe it'll have an affect next week....

i was meaning not brilliant in that it dropped (if only slightly), i wonder if all those love plus bundles will be enough to push it over 100k next week
Jesus Christ at 14k. I don't care what anyone says, they are going to gut the price of this thing. Gravity Daze did good though. At this point, any PSV software that manages to crest 40k on an opening week had to fall into "that game did fantastic" territory considering the way the hardware is doing.
Vita..the hero we deserve, but not the hero we need.

PSP really is fucking up Vita sales, I think. Same way it happened with the 3DS and the DS. Let's see if Sony kills the PSP or does the dumb thing again and lets it live like with the PS2.
I like how 61 away from 14k is "13k and some change." Bwahaha.
Still, they need a price cut over there pronto!
Vita terrible numbers are certainly not PSP fault, or at least not the main reason for its bad shape.

Gutting it seems a bit drastic.

Well it's a new I.P, not surprising it didn't move hardware
In Japan, it wasn't DS the problem for 3DS. 3DS has always obtained to be over DS, except for the week before the price drop, obviously. Yes, even in the worst weeks between the launch and the cut.

The PSP isn't helping either. It could be 20k or 25k if Sony killed it.
Sure, but it started to sell really well when they priced it the same as the DS and killed it.
I don't think the PSP is messing up the sales of the PS VITA, they're 2 different systems, because the PS VITA isn't directly backwards compatible with PSP (UMD). In addition why killing a platform when it's still selling and got games to release. The PS VITA isn't selling got his own reasons: software, pricepoint, backward compability.
On the other side, the 3DS is doing great, thanks to the pricecut to make it more affordable and the of releases big titles like SM3DL, MK7 and MHTriG.

One step closer
They're in the same position Nintendo was in earlier in the year, PSP is cannibalising their sales... they need to kill it off, either by ceasing sales, lowering supply or dropping price on Vita.
I didn't mean it like that, Ill change it to 14k, either way those numbers are bad though. RE:R did 26k it seems, and is at about 216k.
I believe the impact really started after the Nintendo fall conference where MH Tri G was announced.

I disagree, especially when you still have developers announcing games for PSP while Vita has a barren (known) software lineup, I think it's definitely crippling the Vita's appeal at the moment
Sony should have released the Vita in Japan last, when more developers were shifting over from PSP development and ready to show their software

The price cut helped a lot as soon as it happened and OoT was the go-to game for quite a while.
I think killing early the psp while 3DS is selling like hotcakes would just have made the PSP -> 3DS trend worse.
Yes. Sales went up dramatically but were dropping steadily until the MHTriG+4 combo was announced.
Like already said, sony can't kill the psp for the sake of the vita just like that. psvita doesn't play psp games, so this is clearly not the same as seeing a DSi alongside a cheaper 3DS in a store.
Yes, OoT became what Nintendogs should have been, in a certain sense: looking at its sales, you could estimate 3DS performance. Then, the MH3G early promotion has given to the console another rise.
...And how we can forget the BOOBST came from Senran Kagura.

If Andria Sangs release list is complete it looks like this is it for notable Vita releases. This will get really hard to look at in the coming weeks and months.
