Thanks to everyone for the patience, to Chris1964 and donny2112 for their layouts, as well as Database and Previous MC Threads links. And then thanks to Cheesemeister for the "Boxart top 5" concept, "Software" and "Hardware" images, and the old Sales Age Spirit. No thanks for BurntPork, instead

Fire Emblem holding nicely!

Persona 2 bombed, though. Ouch.

KIRINOOOOOO! *Shakes fist*

(The name of the game is There's No Way "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute Portable" Could Continue, by the way.)

 

[slaughterking]

wow I remember when we thought Vita would hold at 10k and we were laughing. This is a damn shame

Vita doesn't give a fuck. It's selling as low as it wants.

 

[Sadist]

Slow week...

 

[BadWolf]

PS2 kicking the crap out of 360.

 

[ffdgh]

well didn't expect number 1 at all...

just noticed kingdom hearts isn't in the top 20....sad

 

[Delio]

Huh Pokemon got a small bump. People getting ready for B2/W2?

 

[Electivirus]

Pokemon Black and White in the top 20 again? What the?

 

[Bisnic]

"My little sister can't be this cute"?

And its the #1 game?

The fuck kind of game is it?

 

[zroid]

thanks mpl90.

another rough, post-golden week

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Damn, those are pretty bad sales for Persona. That's a shame.

 

[stilgar]

Wii
Vita
PS2

Still hangin' there, good old buddies. You earned it. Except one of you.

 

[Megadragon15]

Vita with a positive bump. That momentum.

 

[Miles X]

Wonder how much lower sales are going to get over the summer.

 

[lazybones18]

Vita went up!

....by seven....

*cough*

 

[mclem]

3DS 45,752
Vita 6,347

Touch and go for a while, but 3DS *just* scrapes past 6M on MC in the same week that Vita strolls past 700k. Looks like we need to find another meaningless metric to track now.


As seems to be my obligatory post in these threads lately: GOOOO Fire Emblem!

 

[Dead Prince]

wow I remember when we thought Vita would hold at 10k and we were laughing. This is a damn shame

And sony thought it was a #gamechanger. The only game changer is the game changing system.

 

[pramath]

Kid Icarus holding on very well. Gogo Sakurai

 

[KillGore]

come on Wii!

 

[slaughterking]

The PSP will go below 10k next week if it continues like that.

 

[jman2050]

My Little Vita Can't Be This Dead

 

[duckroll]

Those Persona 2 EP sales aren't good news for Soul Hackers at all. I think we might be seeing the divide between the shrinking group of old-school faithful Atlus fans, and those who only care for the newer generation of Persona.

 

[liger05]

Damn Vita still under 7k.

Persona 2 not great. I aint convinced persona 4 is going to do help the vita too much.

 

[Man God]

I think we've finally seen the beginning of the end of the Playstation Portable.

 

[Anustart]

Vita needs another Game Heaven to get that boost it needs.

 

[Fabrik]

Fire Emblem: awakening indeed.
Vita: no comment.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I'm always amazed at Pokemon's sales. I keep forgetting how much it really sells...

My Little Vita Can't Be This Dead

Heh.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Wow, poor Vita. Let's hope E3 brings some exciting game announcements and it sells better! Also, great 3DS sales, nice to see it doing so well. And those Persona sales seem low, what a shame.

wat

Maybe in anticipation for BW2?

My Little Vita Can't Be This Dead

Almost lost it.

 

[mclem]

Will Wii Sports Resort scrape past a million before the release of the Wii U? Before the end of the year? Not at all?

Delightful to see Harvest Moon still chugging away in the high teens.

 

[airmangataosenai]

Huh Pokemon got a small bump. People getting ready for B2/W2?

I doubt it's so much that the game was bumped up, more that this week is just so low we're seeing software we normally don't see that continues selling under the radar.

 

[slaughterking]

Damn Vita still under 7k.

Persona 2 not great. I aint convinced persona 4 is going to do help the vita too much.

I wont help the Vita at all, but it'll still sell absolutely fine.

 

[Krev]

My Little Vita Can't Be This Dead

It's so dumb and obvious, but...I laughed.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Looks like PSP's over. Hardware's spiraling and games are universally underperforming.

PS3 is getting close to the dreaded 10k too.

 

[Miles X]

01./00. [PSP] My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute Portable Can't Be Continuing # <ADV> (Bandai Namco Games)

I'm going to give that title the benefit of the doubt ...

 

[Cwarrior]

01./00. [PSP] My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute Portable Can't Be Continuing # <ADV> (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.05.17} (¥6.280) - 53.175 / NEW

WHAT IS THIS!? I Don't even...

The title sounds so wrong and creepy.

 

[Smellycat]

Japan plays the weirdest games.

 

[zero_suit]

Vita...

 

[zroid]

LOL for a second there, I thought the "Xbox" sold 360,825 units

Spoiler

only for a second!

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Fire Emblem dropped only 10%... I couldn't be happier!

 

[jman2050]

Also looks like FE is on its way to skating past 500k eventually

 

[zroid]

The title sounds so wrong and creepy.

We went over this in a previous thread -- it's not nearly as creepy as it sounds. The English title is very misleading.

 

[electroplankton]

Those Persona 2 EP sales aren't good news for Soul Hackers at all. I think we might be seeing the divide between the shrinking group of old-school faithful Atlus fans, and those who only care for the newer generation of Persona.

True, but you must also consider that Devil Summoner is a bit less popular than Persona nowadays.

 

[duckroll]

I warned you guys about how he was going to ship a buggy and unfinished product! I wonder if patches are going to take forever for this thread...
