It's a hunting game made by the guys who make musou games, haha.
Definitely a surprise to see it selling so well.

Less than a million to go before 3DS catches up with Wii LTD hardware sales.
A new ip= big game?Oh I'm not serious, I'm glad that both are selling well, i dont just see the "OMG VITA IS ALIVVEEEEEE!!!" kind of response when we already know that it will happen each time a big game like that comes out for Vita
I'm surprised it did better than Soul Sacrifice, that looked much more interesting. God Eater 2 should do amazing.
While I still think a lot of the Vita optimism is somewhat unwarranted, I do think it is fair to say that 3rd parties can have success on the platform with the right game and the right marketing, which is something I frankly didn't think we would ever be able to say.

As far as I've been following them, the first page of Media Create threads are dedicated to dumb reactions. Might as well enjoy them.
They should have done a "HD edition" for PC instead for XSEED to localize. Would have outsold this one by a factor of 10 in the first steam sale.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
If you combine the PSV and PSP sales of Toukiden, they almost match up with Soul Sacrifice's LTD.
I'm really curious how FFX HD will perform on Vita. My guess is 200k+?

Nice rise for Vita.
All it needs is a steady stream.
Toukiden is coming to the west

Should have been 1000 Yen e-shop release

Not too surprised; it's closer gameplay wise to a monhan and the theme is probably more palatable to a general audience.
It's a hunting game in feudal Japan by Omega Force (the Musou people).
The Vita version is also high effort (Vita left, PSP right):
But yes definitely hunting action:

Came out last March and reached around 100k+ (includes DD sales) I believe.
XSEED baulk at the localisation for these games. Regardless, I would like to see their games on PC too.
As for the sales results here, I don't know what to expect, the price is comparatively cheaper too.
For Vita Dragon's Crown comes out 7/25, (though it is multi with PS3. Unless I am missing a release that is about it for dated stuff.
Wii U has Pikmin 3 and NSL U on 7/13. W101 is in August, though I doubt it will be a big seller, and Wind Waker HD is 9/26.

Toukiden is a big game now?
Vita was in life support some months away, to the point of people defending that Sony should discontinue it. So if you enjoy your Vita and you know that Japan will probably be the main source of its catalogue, you appreciate the good news because it means more support for a system you like. You don't need to be a "Sony fanboy" for that.
Third parties making good sales on Vita means more third parties support, is not that hard to see.

Wow, Vita with a nice sales explosion.
It depends. Toukiden wasn't considered a major release when the first demo came out a few months ago.
The only obvious Vita 100k+ FW sellers at the moment are God Eater 2 and FFX/X-2 and these don't have a date.

It has already released for some time in Japan iirc, and also fared quite decently by the way.

Very, very interested in seeing this. I didn't expect Toukiden to do this good, opening above Soul Sacrifice while also being out on PSP, that's quite impressive (for Vita standards
)New Atelier opened up with less, hmmm. Maybe it'll do better in the long run.
Monster Hunter made by Musou guys.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Vita has really solidified its market. Didn't think Toukiden would do THAT well. I guess Vita just has a very pro-active game buying userbase. The best to have.
Everything else got a bump too. WiiU because they showed some TV ads again?

Great Toukiden sales. Hoh.
Btw, this is a better comparison shot between the Vita and PSP versions. Vita version looks great, and the game is a blast thus far.

If Toukiden was vita exclusive, it would have outsold soul sacrifice. I really like the tone of the game but does anyone feel like Sony kinda messed up by making it so dark and gritty? It really limited it's appeal IMO.

It's like they're almost completely different games.
I don't know how Omega Force managed to have a native res game as a launch title and then release this but no one else can.
This year has actually been ok. It is a ton of multi platform stuff, but still some decent releases.

Huh, would not have expected Toukiden Vita to outsell the PSP version, let alone by almost 2:1. Guess that bodes well for GE2 whenever (if it ever?) it finally releases.

Sony should just keep pumping in the JPN support. The dedicated Western audience likes those games too.
Just wanted to come in and lol at the thought of Dave being ashamed.
Have you ever blushed?
Er... and... great Vita numbers. Who knew that software releases + price cut = sales?
They'd have to update the graphics again by the time XSEED get around to translating it.
