Any word on what the used Vita situation is right now?
After BD and others I remember many 360s being sold back, and I´m interested if people kept their Vitas after the Miku bump.

 

[Kouriozan]

Nice to hear about Taiko, Wii U will certainly get one next year
And hopefully they'll localize them this time... Who am I kidding >.<

 

[Chris1964]

I'll be missing for an hour. If someone else wants to start the thread he can do it.

Such a truly unexpected drop for the Vita.

[Mpl90]

Everything dropped this week. This is one of the slowest periods of the year for Japan, right?

PSV - 11,382

After learning that last week most of the sales was because of the bundle it was expected.

 

[Takao]

Vita, and Diva f drops worse than I had anticipated, but not entirely surprising I suppose.

 

[Kouriozan]

Ah Lost Heroes sold twice better on 3DS too.

 

[Principate]

Anything below 15k should be considered dead, or at least very close to it. It's not exactly a health system amount of sales.

It's probably due to that bonus for the 3DS SKU: a Famicom game, IIRC.

 

[Vinnk]

Any word on what the used Vita situation is right now?

Plentiful. Mostly mint in box and a much better value than buying a new Vita. I think a lot of otaku gamers (not the mainstream) sold their first Vitas in preparation for the Miku bundle. Also it's easy to get a used Personal 4 on the cheap.

At least this was the situation last week. I haven't been to any stores this week. Baby on the way, lots to do.

3DS is only non dead system

 

[jonno394]

3DS is only non dead system

That's not that shocking though, Wii U will bring life to the market though.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Nintendo better delivers with WiiU - the market is waiting for some new blood. Time to establish some momentum for a home console again.

[Tratorn]

Well, ~25k of the ~50k vitas last week were from the diva f-bundle, so a big drop was more than likely.
But I was still expecting 18-20k, so its not good of course. :/

 

[liger05]

The Vita just cannot gain any momentum at all.

Atlus and Marvelous should be more than happy with both titles selling + 100k. At least thats what i would expect.

 

[Kenka]

What are these horribly low numbers ? Software sales ?

 

[stilgar]

So what's the opinion on Dragon Quest X ? Bomba ? Impossible to decide before Wii U version ? Growing legs?

Thx Vinnk! Always nice to hear from you. All the best for you, the missus and the little ones.

Its not a bomb as I believe it has already outsold FFXI. According to gaffers with the game the servers are still very well populated. The Wii U release and expansion plans will be interesting to watch but what will really determine the success of the game now are subscriptions.

 

[Alexios]

Lost Heroes numbers in line with that series or lower? Weird it sold more on 3DS.

There's probably a bigger fan base for first person dungeon crawlers on 3DS, plus the PSP version was announced later.
