This.
It's already mid-afternoon in Japan, right? Will the numbers be released in a few hours, or tomorrow?
Either somewhere around 4 hours from now (7pm Japan time) or the same time on Tuesday. That's when Famitsu released sales data for MH3G and Mario Kart 7.

I'm waiting to see Kirby rising a lot in the next weeks, so probably the 500k is not so impossible to reach.
That sounds about right.
That's the ranking only for Tsutaya stores, right? However, Minna no Golf 6 as best seller for Vita launch is expected. As much as seeing Uncharted as second.
However, another confirmation that Lord of Apocalypse could be the real surprise for sales

It's weird, really. Media Create and Enterbrain (and Dengeki, but who cares lol) provide us with pretty extensive sales data on a weekly basis, but some people are still going ghetto with their Amazon and comgnet rankings.
I must see my enemy fail or my god succeed ASAP. Waiting for days kills me.
Just look at 2ch: "real" Vita numbers have been posted every 30min.

well, some were too cynical regarding launch; but the real test is this week and the next week.
The real test is January and February.
Are you saying you are cynical about its launch or that my prediction is cynical?

Seriously. I mean, at best we can just assume that "high ranking = bigger chance of the title selling well, but there's no certainty in any of this". The amount of calculation and extrapolation those comgnet and amazon charts get seems a little excessive to me. For the majority of the hardware/software, they don't seem to indicate anything, and if there is a clear trend in the possible sales, most people figured it out without those rankings (f.e. surefire hits, expected bombs).
I still appreciate the inputs of people who compile the actual MC and Famitsu data the most. Joshua and Chris come to mind. The amount of historical sales data they provide is often better to predict future sales than indicators specifically meant to predict future sales.

That is if it passes the next weeks test...
Well, I was cynical about its launch. But now I guess for the first week it will do good, however, I still think even for next two weeks it will be grim, let alone Jan and Feb.

So it's destined to failure or what?
I hope not. Doom and gloom!

I see, I think it will do well thru the rest of the year being the traditional buying season. Once the new year starts then we'll see where the vita's weekly sales will settle.
Yeah if it passes the January and February test (whatever they are!), the real test will be the spring holidays.
You don't know what the real test is? Here you'll find everything you need.

It'll sell fine through the holiday. Shipments are higher than I expected going by rumors, but I still expect Sony to move most of that stock pretty briskly. PSVita Wi-Fi will probably be perpetually undershipped and sold out, which has become a Sony tradition (PSP Core Pack, PS3 20GB).
Q1 might be rough though, the schedule is looking really barren compared to 3DS or even PSP.

Well, as you mention, it is a long time since we learned it, so it honestly didnt strike me as being a "this is a joke" question. Personally i actually sometimes mix up which of < and > that is "less" and "more". I thought the mention of the hat was just a funny way to ask it. But if it was a joke, then i missed it, fair enough
Sure, i know he ment it like that. Reading my reply again, i can see that it looks more like i explain to him what 3G is, so i completely see why my reply on this was pointed out
But i didnt mean it like that actually, i just ment that with 3G on Vita, then you have access to internet all the time, so you can use all the internet features that the Vita has (maybe not online gaming works for all games though) "everywhere" without having to worry about if there is a WiFi hotspot around. This feature is objectively a benefit i'd say. But of course, not everyone see it as a big enough benefit that they want to pay extra for it.Yeah, i know it was sarcasm about the detective comment
I tried to come up with a more witty respond, but i just went the "serious route" instead hehe (kinda like if you mess up and someone sarcasticly says "nicely done!", and then you reply "thanks").Nah, no worries, i mostly asked out of curiousity what you were referring too, i didnt exactly get hurt or offended
And i didnt mean to sound rude with the comment i said about ironic, i hope that it wasnt understood like that.No worries =)

Yep, and don't forget Road!I still appreciate the inputs of people who compile the actual MC and Famitsu data the most. Joshua and Chris come to mind. The amount of historical sales data they provide is often better to predict future sales than indicators specifically meant to predict future sales.

By the same token though maybe it will finally convince Japan that western games arent worth copying qnd they can get back to making their own games

I was very busy during last weeks. So, how is Vita supposed to debut: great, good or bad?

Much better than expected it seems.
The first shipment is apparently pretty high, so it should have a pretty good start.
Unless Famitsu decided not to do any report this time, we'll know the numbers by tomorrow.

I want the Vita to do beyond expectations. We'll get good game support, Nintendo will have to give their best, and it would prove all those "handheld gaming is dead, Mario on iOS" articles wrong.

Dragon Quest IX was influenced directly by Oblivion according to Hori. I think there's still lessons one can learn from looking outside your own market.
If Vita does well Nintendo stocks will hit rock bottom and nintendo will have to put mario on iOS out of desperation.

Does that list mean none of the Vita games beat Super Mario 3D Land?
Probably none of the Vita title will outsell Tri G, Kart 7 or 3D Land this year.
The only certain thing so far about Vita are Comgnet numbers for software...and they're low.
The shipment of 700k are a rumor so far
The percentages were referred to a single store
Tomorrow Famitsu should share numbers.

Good, not great. It didn't sell out; you can still look around and find them easily. However, they probably sold through most of their initial shipment. I think I saw early estimates in the official thread saying that 84% of the WiFi models sold out, but only ~60% of the 3G ones.
Ah, nevermind then.

Probably none of the known Vita games will outsell those 3 ever.
Fixed.

PRobably no vita game full stop will outsell those three games ever

I was talking about this last week. Will any of the vita launch titles beat SM3DL, MK7 or MH3G in the next media create thread?
Also, do you guys think the Vita outsold the 3DS?
