It's across 4 SKUs actually, since there's 1 Vita title slated for Q2 which they expect to sell 40k of. Not sure what that is, I don't follow Sega releases much these days.

It's across 4 SKUs actually, since there's 1 Vita title slated for Q2 which they expect to sell 40k of. Not sure what that is, I don't follow Sega releases much these days.
Is the 2nd Miku coming at the same time for the PS3 or are they doing a staggered release again for this one?
It's J.League Soccer. Also on PS3
I don't think they have said it yet. Looks like they are doing a simultaneous release this time, though, because the announcement didn't mention a staggered release.
Okay, thanks. I just checked Sega's site, and I don't think Miku is going to be part of that forecast. It's due in Spring 2014, which should be after March 2014.
But Project 575 is their undated "2014" title which is a Vita exclusive: http://project575.jp/utakumi575/
There's also an iOS app, and some other crossmedia promotional stuff they're pushing it with, so maybe they're betting on that, along with some other titles they'll be announcing in the next month or so.
J.League Soccer is a pretty big frchansie. If they only project 40K on psv sku, it will be interesting to guess the remaing games.
Also, am i right that project includes digital sales?
As bad as WiiU sales have been worldwide, the total LTD is somewhat positive in Japan as Wii U has a 1:9 ratio versus PS3 (1 Million Wii U's vs. 9 Million PS3s'). The PS3 has had a 7 year head start. Those Wii U sales will undoubtedly increase as SSB, MH, Mario, Mario Party etc. release so I think that is good news for the Wii U in Japan.
I think if Nintendo can stop being so stupidly stubborn, and drop the price ASAP, they can outsell Gamecubes' total LTD in Japan which was around 5 Million IIRC.

Should include digital, yes.
They're projecting 150k for the PS3 SKU of Sakatsuku. So they're expecting about 190k across both versions. I don't think it's J League Soccer actually. Isn't this just the normal Let's Make a Pro Soccer Club series? J League is an actual soccer game. This is management stuff.
This Monster Hunter Frontier G bickering reminds of Time Travelers...
But the release date is 10/10, which would be Q3. Although it might be early enough they shipments will count for Q2. Anyway, Vita forecast is crazy.

Those ltd numbers look bad when you realize just how little its sold after the first 4 weeks.
Oh, you are right. I didn't know the proper translation so I just use Spiegel's.
IMO, the project for PS3 sku is a little high while the psv one is a little low..It's one of the games that fits handheld more.

Is Yakuza Vita/ Phantasy Start Portable 3 possible?
SEGA is focusing on PSO2 and alpha system is now busy making over my body 2.
So Phantasy Start Portable 3 won't happen anytime soon.

Not at all. Its been on the market for almost a year and has sold 1 million with its launch boost.
And yet both versions will be outsold x30 by MH4.
Is the Vita number just people that bought the game physically and digitally (i.e. that pack with fuckton of in game items)or does it relate to to anyone who downloaded the game?

More like x3000
Right. I thought it was september for some reason.
Those are different series?
I meant to say the sequel of the psp games. Latest one sold about 170k. Is that series, right?
Oh, yeah they are. I was thinking of much older J League games by Sega. It seems the latest Sakatsuku has dropped J League from the game title though, even though it's still a J League licensed product. I wonder why.
I like your definition of "almost a year" cause I wouldn't consider less than 8 months is almost a year.
If that'a really what he meant, it makes no sense at all.
Road's comment was spot on.

Stolen from Vita thread.
If they are remaking into current engine then next trilogy will probably be ported too at later stages.

Image doesn't work.
It's about a remake of Rorona for the PS3/Vita. I'm seriously questioning the sales power of a remake on the same platform the original released on though.

lol, definitely a big WTF moment right there. What the hell is the point of that?
Well, they were definitely hinting a Rorona remake rather than plus for a while now.
I'm not sure about it's sales potential either, I guess it depends how much has been overhauled.
Maybe it's quite easy for them to port the game to a different engine. Well, it's certainly more expensive than doing a Plus version on a Vita.
How many of that 1 million were published by Nintendo, though?
Wasting time on Excel:
You forgot Mana Khemia 1&2 which are part of the main serie.

Damn I didn't notice they've been releasing their game annually for 13 years now

Sorry about the image it worked when i was posting it.
It was about Rorona remake as well as White Album 2 and next Steins Gate comming to Vita in oct/nov.
Also something that makes me scratch my head.
Easy tools for PSV/PS3 multiplatforms nicely improved PSV situation compared to 2013.
Why Nintendo doen't try it with 3DS/Wii U ? They have two screens in Wii U so that should work. Or if they don't have tools at least give 3rd parties some good discount on royalties from Wii U version to reduce financial risk.

But does it improve the situation too much? I wouldn't be too happy if Nintendo acted like Sony, treating one platform as port-dump. Since I only have a Vita and no PS3 I'm fine with PS3 ports, but having Wii U and 3DS, I prefer the librarys to be mostly disjunct.

They're still releasing a PSP only Sakatsuku J League game this year, so I'd guess they're just trying to emphasize that the PS3/Vita game is a new/different experience.
Or from franchises that were already big sellers on other platforms. Seems to me the difference is much less pronounced if you look at new IPs.

How does AA5 numbers compare to the other games? These seem extremely good to me.
