Dual PSP release makes Toukiden unlikely to reverse the Vita's fortunes outside of like one or two weeks.
Wonder how much Sony is going to focus on the Vita during E3.
for Wii U and
for Vita
Two big games

Vita should also have God Eater 2, multi with PSP. The problem is, it's May and nothing has been shared about a release date. In the meanwhile, we're approaching the MH4 launch as well (likely August, confirmed Summer anyway).

Only Pikmin 3 is dated from 1st party (and none of the 3rd parties are big) but they've promised TW101, Wii Fit, and Wii Party before the end of Summer. Plus, the New Super Luigi DLC in June.

Now that the price cuts honey moon period is over what are peoples thoughts on the effectiveness of he price cut. Do you think it was worth it or should Sony have kept the price to see if it could squeeze out any more profit like in the rest of the world.
This is going to make me sound like a Wii U apologist I know, but I think Pikmin 3 is being underestimated a bit here. The first 2 did around 500k on Game Cube. It isn't a mega seller, but it's certainly a bigger IP than anything released on the platform since NSMB U.
Anything approaching that number would be pretty stellar.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Everything bombed this week due to if you were gonna buy videogame hardware, it was mostly going to be during Golden Week. Silly to try and extrapolate much from this week.
Even still Japan does not look like it has a very healthy videogame market, and I guess a lot of eyes are going to be on PS4 hopefully doing something to kickstart things again (but probably won't).

Two big games
Well played.
The one thing that Nintendo can be very proud off. Their IPs still have selling power. Something as silly as "Year of the Luigi!" and it's about 300,000 copies away from 1 million sold. :O

Talk about drops for EVERYONE this week. Even the 3DS dropped 30k in sales. That post GW drop off in full effect.
PS3 is doing well as a second place system in its 7th year
red and blue and white and silver?
VITA was supply constrained!
Other than some delusional people, most are expecting huge drop post GW since it's the norm. And it only gets worse from here.

3DS and its software are not bombing this week at all. Dragon's Dogma is not bombing.
Japanese video game market doesn't seem healthy, through, but it's likely to surpass last year with some heavy hitters such as Monster Hunter and Pokémon. Of course, one console cannot sustain the whole market. If 3DS is going to reach PS2-level, we still need another platform performing well to see an healthy market again.
The 3DS had a big game (Tomodachi) though so a bigger drop than usual should be expected.
PS4, believe.
Not yet, not yet...
I can definitely understand where you're coming from.
I'm just a bit hesitant due to the NSMB Wii vs. NSMB U sales gap and that it's been around a decade now.

The difference is that the 3DS dropped to a relatively healthy number. A drop after GW is always expected, but it's the result of the drop that paints a picture.
lol, also that video has 12 million views? What the hell.

Wow, massive drops all around it seems. Does this normally happen after golden week?
For the vita, it's still pullign ahead of last years number, which was an atrocious 7k. Too early to call it a new baseline though, as it seemed everything, not just it, dropped.
Trying to think of the next major game for a sales boost. Sure hope they don't have to go two months till DC hits.

Yeah I absolutely agree with that. My guess is the IP is still pretty strong given that the Wii re-releases both did around 150-175k, and I suspect people are not Pikmin fatigued like they are with 2D Mario.
If you aren't a 3DS in Japan then you aren't much. That about sums it up, yes?
The closer we get to "next gen" the more I wonder about what kind of reception the PS4 is going to have in Japan. I don't believe it will have the terrible software drought that the WiiU is having but I also don't know how appealing it's lineup will be to the Japanese.

The IP might be strong (and I guess it is, New Play Control entries sold nicely) but that game alone cannot sustain a certain sales level. It can give a temporary boost like Soul Sacrifice and that's all.

I agree. Pikmin 3 should do pretty well. However it's not going to sustain the WiiU in any reasonable capacity. A week bump at best.
Not really fair to the PS3 considering it is in its 7th year and is receiving a great amount of support.

I think it's hard to look at Pikmin's past performance and read into its potential impact.
The first was quite close to launch, and it did seem to have a significant impact on hardware sales after it was released that was sustained for a bit. But it was leading into Super Smash Bros, so how much was attributed to that is unclear as well.
The second, however, only caused a relatively transient bump and the system was back for 4-5K quickly after looking at Garaph data.
It probably depends on how many people already bought the system for Pikmin in the "launch window."

I'm not talk about purely sales, I'm talking about revenue,
I completely agree, and I never claimed it would do much of anything system selling wise.
Valhalla Knights has been pushed as a fairly big title, and it comes out next Thursday. After that, the Neptunia idol game has some potential to do well late June.

Also Famitsu won't give hardware numbers anymore just that graph ?
^
Talking about Pikmin 3, here is an idea.
Replace Olimar with Luigi in space suit to capitalize the new found fame of Luigi and live up the Year of Luigi.
Isn't it a reach for a title that will 50K to be a fairly big title?

To see the numbers for a platform hover over its respective bar on the graph.
Hover your mouse pointer on top of the bar and it will show you the hardware numbers.
