Software slightly lower than I expected (I predicted that it'd outsell Extend at 180k) but hardware is about what I figured it'd be . Not bad, especially since people here were predicting LTD for the game to be sub-150k.
Or they are the types who follow sales and know how these things go.
lol no one's eager.
We're just not blind.
I think he has a point though. I wont single anyone out, but some are very quick to comment on the negative stuff if something positive happends. Doesnt go just for Vita, but things in general.
Don't even need to follow sales to know what will happen next week and the weeks after.
Who's blind? I'm commenting on certain people that you can tell take glee from Vita's bad sales, that's all.
Yes, and some are very quick to comment on the positve.
Sorry if that seemed to be antagonistic. Many people have been saying the same thing in reguard to people simply stating the Vita has nothing to boost its hardware sales beyond middling.Who's blind? I'm commenting on certain people that you can tell take glee from Vita's bad sales, that's all.
How the hell is miku so popular? People would really buy a console for one game?

Does your avatar come with a Goemon one? If so, where can I find it? Thanks!![]()
I didnt say anything about fanboys. I just say that some are very quick to point out the negative when something positive happends, and that it doesnt go for just Vita, but other things in general as well. It's like "looks like there will be good weather today" and then someone say "there will be rain tomorrow". It might be true, but it is still focusing on the negative stuff. This example has nothing to do with fanboys, but the situation is the same. But yes, unfortunately it is SHOCKING NEWS because it happen very often :\ And personally, i much rather prefer to read positive comments about something when something positive happends.Yes, and some are very quick to comment on the positve.
SHOCKING NEWS: Media Create thread is littered with fanboys.
YsWhat's left for the rest of the year, just Soul Sacrifice?
Take it.
Ys
Soul Sacrifice
Maybe EDF
TGS may bring some announcements but there seems to be more PSP/3DS support there than Vita.

wtf ? sound like a troll :/
Seriously? One game does that with no other significant releases in near future? I'm expecting max ~15k for Vita hw next week, and returning back to 10k level in 2-4 weeks.DOGS AND CATS, LIVING TOGETHER- MASS HYSTERIA!
seriously, great performance for the vita. i think it'll stick around for a while now.
Zero no Kiseki Evolution?
This too. Forgot about the LOH VII remake.Zero no Kiseki Evolution?
First i must say sorry for forgetting to write "to me it feels like" in that quote. I edited my previous post with that now. That is the reason why i wont single anyone out because i'm just going by my own observations and how i read/understand it. Maybe i'm wrong about some of it, that is why i dont want to call anyone specific out right now. If i'm wondering about someone in particular, then i might ask them directly. I hope that people dont feel aggrevated by what i said. If they want to defend themselfs, that is fine by me, but i never called anyone out on it, and people also know what their own intentions are with what they are saying/writing.I think it would be better if you did. Those kinda posts honestly dont achieve much but to aggravate folks. Just call someone out if you are going to. At least then you don't have a bunch of replies from people defending their honor when you weren't even talking about them. Just making a blanket accusation to no one in particular is really just as bad.

This doesnt mean that there can be a discussion around things of course. Its fully possible to discuss what happend further on without it having to be seen as very negative.
I'm not mad, and i'm not mad at anyoneDon't be mad at people telling the truth. Be mad at Sony-sama, which sent the Vita to die.
Isn't it free to play for 30 days? However long it is I have to wonder if it'll hold gamer's attention long enough to get to the subscription period.

It is and it isn't. Take Ouendan's gameplay but instead of tapping the circle, you wait for 1 of 4 symbols symbol to fill the spot (O, X, triangle, square) and you press the correct button at the correct time. But just like Ouendan, the notes appear anywhere in the screen.
Hopefully that MH game is coming soon.
Pleased to see Devil Survivor do well.
I would say they have a preference to platforms more focused on an audiovisual experience given the nature of the games.
That just usually happens to be Sony.
Hopefully that MH game is coming soon.
I would say they have a preference for actually appealing looking characters in their games instead of SD Chibi characters. You may be forgetting that a popular series on an unpopular console can get people to buy the console just to play the game and then sell both back in a week for good % return. (See: Blue Dragon) If they'd have put this game on 3DS, it probably would've done a lot better than Mirai. PSP versions did very well and 3DS can easily do PSP visuals, so it's not like they needed HD for the handheld version, just the real characters.
AK48+Mii is going to do horribly next to the other AK48 games for the same reason. Most of the buyers of the game want to look at the girls, not the super-deformed Mii representations of them. Not sure what about Nintendo systems makes publisher go "Hey we got the really pretty girl game on this other system that sells well, so let's SD the girls into nearly unrecognizable forms on the Nintendo system and see if it sells as well!"
Edit:
I suppose the reasoning is to try to appeal these series to a higher % female audience by removing the focus on their looks, but when it seems like the primary appeal of the game is the looks of the girls, that would seem to be a kind of silly test to run.
They probably didn't do PS3 Miku before because they didn't really need to. PSP was beasting while Project Diva was on it, so why spend those resources elsewhere?If SEGA felt that the Arcade models would better serve the purpose of bringing Miku home, why haven't they create a Miku game for a home console (the Dreamy Theatre things are more like bonuses and not a game) until the prospects of a port from Vita arose? Haha. They may indeed want to reuse the arcade stuff in the future, but unless they're completely redoing Project Diva f for PS3 it seems they're not against reusing Vita stuff either.
I thought you expected the best series debut yet?Software slightly lower than I expected (I predicted that it'd outsell Extend at 180k) but hardware is about what I figured it'd be . Not bad, especially since people here were predicting LTD for the game to be sub-150k.
While I agree with your sentiment, you can still end up will less sales.
I mean, it's not like Tales of Vesperia is a vastly inferior game to Tales of Xillia, and the Xbox 360 can definitely put out ~PS3 visuals, but the sales are notably different.
There are also definitely a lot of JRPG fans on DS, but that didn't make the DS games sell through the roof either.
donny2112 said:Tales seems to have a strong history of doing better where the FF fanbase already is.
i'm expecting stuff from tgs. it should carry the vita into the middle of 2013 at least. if it's still selling 10k a week after a revision/price drop, then i think things will wrap up for it in early-mid 2014.
Yeah, can't wait to see MH4 bring the 3DS to monster highs. Will the game sell 3 million? 4 million? The sky's the limit
As for the Vita, I do hope it does well. It goes to show that putting games for your market sells.
Actually they don't really pay that much licensing in Japan unless they have the occasion huge non-Bandai property in the game, like Evangelion. Usually 80% of the anime used in SRW games are owned by Bandai, not just OGs. Oh the other hand, Sega doesn't own Miku at all. Yamaha does.
I think that MH4 has a very good chance to sell 4 million. 3DS is doing very well and MH4 is a brand new Monster Hunter portable game, first one since late 2010. I also think that there will be a 3DS bundle that isnt super limited, could boost sales even more.Yeah, can't wait to see MH4 bring the 3DS to monster highs. Will the game sell 3 million? 4 million?

FFVII prequel announced pre-launch was a big bonus to the PSP FF fanbase.
The games differ in gameplay too. I preferred the graphics (and songs, actually) in the 3DS demo but the gameplay in the Vita one. Just pointing it out to people who might not be aware of the difference in gameplay. 3DS has something like a clock shape where you input keys lined up around the clock in quick succession and the Vita one is a bit like EBA where the keys move in on different spots on the screen until you have to press them and it also has touch scratch actions (it doesn't matter where you touch the screen, sadly it doesn't support the backtouchpad).
More like, the adult otaku audience has the money to pay for a Vita.
Hopefully that MH game is coming soon.
Tales came out on DS after Final Fantasy III did however. Unless I'm mistaken, that game sold more than Crisis Core.
I may be reading too much into it, but my understanding was that one of the big draws of Tales games were the high-quality video portions. That would follow post-FFVII games in focus compared to pre-FFVII games. Not that the PSP Tales spinoffs/remakes did hugely better than the DS "mothership" iterations, but the fact that spinoffs/remakes did significantly better than "mothership" titles (even if they were generally panned) says something about the fanbases on each console. I just don't attribute the fanbase differences to being mainly a Sony vs. Nintendo thing.
If (huge if here) FFX HD exists, I totally expect SCE to get Square to make that a Vita timed exclusive. Might work in Square Enix's benefit rather than launching 2 SKUs that will compete against each other at the same time.
