Do you honestly think that anyone who is interested in god eater 2 doesn't know that it's coming to PSP? Vita seems like the right choice anyway when you consider that's where God eater 2 burst/God eater 3 will be.

So should Capcom stop advertising MH4? Why is Nintendo advertising Pokémon?

God Eater is more mainstream than Toukiden, and it will benefit from PSP install and fan base. It's not a random release.

I don´t get how a game sell over 200k on the PS3 and the hardware does not get some push. Is everyone in Japan waiting for the PS4 or what? And no, consoles still sell in Japan.

And where exactly is this compelling software coming from? Many studios don't even want to support the 3DS. The lack of any kind of western presence whatsoever means anything they do is basically limited to appeal to Japan. We're seeing studios invest much more in mobile. At this point Sony still had huge games on the horizon for Vita like FF7 Crisis Core. For all we know Wii U could do 15 million units, but come on we know that's not likely.

Well, this is a Japanese thread, so I was talking about sales in Japan. Handhelds in general are having a rough generation in the west. The Vita much moreso than the 3DS obviously, but neither are going to get much western support outside of first party Sony efforts for the Vita.

I'd say it's too early to judge Wii U sales as well. Both systems need a hook like Monster Hunter or Wii Sports. Those hooks might not come (and you could even argue that the chances of them coming is slim), but 7 and 19 months on the market is not enough time to be certain.

Are those games on the original DS? I also said that god eater 2 is the biggest game on vita thus far(despite the PSP versions). Sony is definitely co-marketing it and they will definitely push how superior the Vita version is. Toukiden didn't ignore the PSP version but still pushed the vita version as the definite platform, I expect the namco/Sony will do the same with god eater. If they didn't plan on pushing the Vita version, they wouldn't have put all that effort into improving the game for vita (similar to what namco did for toukiden). And like I said before, what platform do you think god eater 2 burst/god eater 3 will be on?

Well, colour me surprised.
Came in expecting a 15K bump for Vita based on the sales rumours, and expected he PSP version of Toukiden to outsell the PSV version (even though it looks pretty ugly). Great week for the system.

Western presence was mentioned because it factors into what a lot of Japanese studios are doing if they want to reach a wider audience. In the history of platforms, a platform is more likely to not get a Monster Hunter (let's not use Wii Sports because that came out at launch and if it came out years later probably would have had a much worse impact) than to get one. So I'll judge the system by what's likely to happen and if on the off chance everything changes than it does. It is definitely not too early to judge Vita. Wii U is probably 6 months too early to really have a handle on where the system is going, but selling 4-has never been a good sign for anything.

Etrian Odyssey 1 is on the DS but this version is a remake of it, this is a 3DS exclusive remake as far as I know, Etrian Odyssey 4 is also a 3DS exclusive

Yes, GE2 is confirmed PSP/PSV with cross platform multiplayer.
Right now though, it's all adhoc, as online infrastructure wasn't in initial plans, but was being "considered."



I'm guessing Freedom Wars.

Sorry I meant a special edition Vita SKU like the one for Toukiden and Soul Sacrifice.

Nice to see PS Vita sell more than I expected. The biggest news for me though is the Vita version of Toukiden selling about double that of the PSP one.

schuelma said:
While I still think a lot of the Vita optimism is somewhat unwarranted, I do think it is fair to say that 3rd parties can have success on the platform with the right game and the right marketing, which is something I frankly didn't think we would ever be able to say.

Pretty much this.

Ah. Don't know as of yet.
They've been pretty tight-lipped about release details and such, but if all the stuff GE1 and Burst got is any indication, I wouldn't doubt we'll see a plethora of goodies and probably a full branded Vita SKU as well.

I almost spit out my water when I saw the Vita bump. Was not expecting that at all.

Good timing, too. Hotline Miami and Muramasa (with Dragon's Crown next month) are really getting me into my Vita after basically ignoring it for a year.

I don't really want to sell it, anymore. Well, only kind of.

I'm really curious how FFX HD will perform on Vita. My guess is 200k+?
Click to expand...

200K for Vita would be ok if the PS3 version is more than that. Talking about combined sales, I would think they are expecting more than that for FFX HD. This is the first FF remake AFAIK and I think it's more than just an HD port like KH, it's receiving the DQ remake treatments. I would think 500K would be what SE expects IMO.

The PS3 version of Injustice: Gods Among Us tanked hard, I can't imagine how badly it must have sold on Wii U. Maybe something like this lol

[WIU] <FTG> (Warner Entertainment Japan) {2013.06.27} (¥7.280) - 300 / NEW <0-20%>
Click to expand...
Probably a little more, but i don't think it even passed the 1000 sales. The japanese miiverse comunity for this one is at less than eight hundred and the game didn't managed to get on the top 20 software on the eshop either (even Rabbid's land got into that at the launch) so i guess the game was a failure on all fields.

Also, Nintendo's been getting agressive on the eshop lately. There's a couple of promotions now (pay some money and get even more) and the nintendo published games, like Pikmin, Lego and stuff, at launch week will get 10% of discount.

Well actually will they release it in retail for Vita ?

We know they won't in west but in Japan digital only would be suicide.

They certainly could release two cheap SKUs or one SKU with download codes I guess.

vita seems to be building a decent life for itself in japan, although there are fewer games on the horizon that could do anything worth a damn than there were ayear ago.

on the flip side, the psp is now pretty much dead. is this the first time a psppsv combo has sold that much better on vita?

Sorry, I'm not following your logic. And you are probably not following mine, lol.

And GE has a chance of hitting the 3DS, I'm not sure why you think it will be a Vita exclusive in the future. GE2 Vita was under trouble for all we know.

Vita continues to surprise. Seems like it might finally be taking over some of that PSP audience.

18./13. [WII] Taiko no Tatsujin Wii: Super Deluxe Edition # <ACT> (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.11.29} (¥5.040) - 4.847 / 506.998 (+3%)

IIRC God Eater developers were once funded by Sony.
(And that's pretty much why GE2 has become Vita/PSP multiplat).

It has pretty much hit the saturation point at that price.

wether sony decides to give it a final price cut or decides to leave it as is and Goes in balls deep with PS4 remains to be seen.

Calling it a remake is a huge stretch. It's basically getting the same treatment as KH; new character models and slight gameplay tweaks. I would hope that Square is keeping their expectations in check.

Wow @ Toukiden, it produced sales way beyond what anyone would've predicted both software and hardware wise even a few days ago. It makes all the griping and dismissive posting from it's first showing all the more funny in retrospect.
