Yay!
Really happy for both.
The former seems a pretty serious effort in a series that during the last years was not considered as it should have been.
The latter, instead, shows how 3DS is an healthy platform even for new IPs and experiments of this kind, like Senran Kagura. Waiting for the numbers, though!

Sub 1k IMO.
you forgot the Soul Sacrifice unveiling on May 10

I dont think this will do much before the game itself comes out. But to expect it to sell much less than Xbox 360..?

Ciel NoSurge might keep the Vita from sliding too much.
Might.
Might.

Announcements don't typically do much, but I'm now altering my prediction to sub-1.
Less than 1 Vita will be sold in that time.
I think he was joking.
Vita has to stabilize at some point. I don't think it'll go sub 6k.

Yeah, could be.
Just because the unveiling of two games from the, currently, biggest third party franchise in Japan for the 3DS gave it a minor bump, it doesn't mean the same will happen for every single new game announced for every platform.
Not to mention the fact that one of those games came three months later very close to two equally huge games. Vita's situation definitely needs more than an announcement.
I wonder if Sony should have launched Vita late this year instead.

This.
Furthermore, Capcom started to advertise MH3G soon after the announcement, so the bump made sense. But people expected PD announcement on PSVita giving a bump during last week, which is totally unreasonable.

Sub 6k confirmed then
If there's only one big release, I'm fine with that, personally.
What about doing monthly software prediction results? That would be much easier to avoid sub-50K titles that way. Results would be like 6 weeks after the predictions closed, though, so that would be a drawback.
Sorry, but I'm bucking my trend! I will not be Pachter!

You're right. I'll go with 5K then.

Fire Emblem deserves all the attention.

Those games have absolutely nothing to do with each other so I doubt that's the reason. Nintendo just did a good job hyping this one up as an important game, having high production value probably helped.
You have to look at the demographic of the customers. MH is still by and large a mid-high school sensation, and the same kind of kids were the ones buying those anime tie in / light novel inspired games. This time they went from a more archaic art style to an artist with far more modern looking characters -- more stylish, less 'we got characters out of a Sword World resource book' feel. Tvcm is voiced by Sugita, who has a strong fan base of both male and female fans. They marketed this to hit the monhun/KH type fan base that would not have touched a less contemporary release, and musings from places like Maya reflect that.

Sounds good from FE! Should give 3DS a boost too with figures like that.
What flying elephants, now I've seen everything.

I'm right there with you. Nothing would make me happier than seeing COP at #2 in next week's chart.

Code of Princess putting up good numbers would make me selfishly happy. I'm a huge fan of Guardian Heroes and I've got a copy of CoP on the way from AmiAmi as I type this. My J-3DS is going to be getting far more love and attention from me than my US 3DS for the forseeable future.
I really hope Code of Princess does exceptionally well for Agatsuma. Looks like quite a gamble from a publisher and developer usually doing educational titles for little children, and it seems to be a rather ambitious project with lots of content and features. Effort needs to be rewarded.
Guardian Heroes
Huh. I don't see what you being a weeping child has anything to do with what he was talking about.

I'm more curious why Heavy name dropped me and Shocking Alberto...
Sidescrolling ARPG with elements from Guardian Heroes (same core design team), mission based, tons of characters, loot, with local and online coop and versus modes. The most interesting thing about the game is probably that it was developed and published by a very small company that has been around for ages, but like I wrote, they used to do edutainment stuff for young children. They also developed shovelware for western publishers like Ubisoft. I guess they realized titles like that wouldn't cut it anymore, so they contracted a few veterans from Treasure and Capcom to do this game.
There are some things that really annoy me. That post had at least three of them. It was probably out of line, but someone had to say it.
We discussed it some last thread, so that might help.
It's cuz you're the john connor of the nintendo resistance and alberto is sexy claire danes. Bg is a reprogrammed terminator.

I'm flattered, but you seriously have to stop running around in different threads and mentioning me. I'm not the kind of guy that is going to fall in love with you just because you pay so much attention to me.
Oh God, so good.

Has it really come to this? Will Vita soon only be sold behind beaded curtains to dudes wearing trenchcoats?
Well in his defense Conan does come across as being a bit slutty.
