I'm curious with your first week sales of this game.
Let me be happy for this split moment.
That FFX Vita for the time being is outselling the PS3 version.
I think it will depend on how many Vitas the release of FFX/X-2 moves on the last week of December.
Also, glad to see the superior version of GE2 tracking steadily above the PSP one.
Yep, but the PS3 version does not have a discount on Amazon. Still, it was pretty close when both were offered at the same price.
How many Vitas are you expecting? More than 100k?
You'd hope the Vita version would be selling more than the PSP one.
As for FFX helping the Vita sell more, if it weren't for that P&D coming along, it would of had a chance. But we'll see how it goes. I have hope. P&D could end up being the blunder of the century and everyone will somehow flock to the Vita.
Quite possible, but definitely not certain. People are quick to forget just how awful PS3 sales were for the first 2.5 years. The PS3 actually sold a good deal worse in 2008 (the WiiU's 2014) than it did in 2007. It sold less than 1M for all of 2008.
To be fair, the WiiU has done a terrific job of matching (and even exceeding) the PS3 is terms of pure shitosity when it comes to sales, but if Nintendo can manage even a fairly moderate uptick in the baseline (still a big if) with stuff like Mario Kart/Smash Bros (if it even makes it out in 2014 - ha ha)., potential price drop, possible new SKU (maybe even sans U pad) - then PS3's 2008 isn't out of reach for the WiiU in 2014 by any stretch. The PS3 had a really awful 2008.

and then in 2015 its officially over
that's interesting though, the PS3 started off that terribly in Japan?
(at least it gave us the "PS3 has no games" meme, good times)
Being week 52 i expect more. But if somebody thinks Vita will sell more in December than Wii U, this person is dreaming.

I also hope mobile gaming spontaneously collapses in the west and revitalizes the 3DS
we all have our dreams x(

3ds, about to bumb dramatically
What are the chances of the 2DS releasing next year?
What are the chances of the 2DS releasing next year?
okay
Just to be clear, I meant the Vita selling enough to be the 2nd best selling console during the holidays. Nothing will even come close to the 3DS in the same period. But the Wii U did quite well last holiday and now has even more strong games. On the other hand, Vita will have its first holiday with a strong release iirc.
But thinking about it and considering past Wii U sales, I think Wii U has a much better chance of being the second best selling console, if only for the Nintendo holiday bump.
Lol no. I expect around 35k - 50k Vitas sold during that week. Perhaps a bit more considering the FF bundle but that's it.
We both share the same dream. It's a damn shame that even a Nintendo handheld is struggling in the west.
One day there will be a dedicated gaming handheld resurgence in the west. And that day it will be glorious. And I think only Nintendo can somehow do that.

honest question, what did i say was wrong? 3DS just got a big game release and is probably going to have good sales this week, im kinda confused here :/
Either you're trying to say you were being sarcastic or you are under the impression the bombing is a good thing.

you dont know the definition of bomb

i totally meant bump, just spelled it wrong. :/

oh my bad then lol
Oh ok, and to expand on your 2DS comment, I do see it being released next year.
Which would be great for me. As seeing Nintendo won't get rid of region lock anytime soon, a Japanese 2DS would be perfect for me since it would be cheap and I can catch up on all the games that will never be localized.

Mario & Sonic has just re-entered the Amazon Top 100 for the first time.
Outside -> #98 during launch day -> Outside -> #98 earlier today -> #95 now

Yup, totally waiting on a Japanese 2DS to play import games on.
Will probably still end up costing me $200 with import fees and taxes :lol

The Wii U actually seems poised to have a good holiday in Japan unlike in the rest of the world.

Uh....hasn't is already sold 500k. Probably 550k with digital. Namco recently said that they have shipped 600k. It could definitely become the best selling God Eater game.
200k+ throughout December is what I would call a decent to sub par holiday. PS3 managed 183k on its second holiday for instance.
Hoppechan: Tsukutte! Asonde! Punipuni Town!! has shipped over 100,000 http://www.4gamer.net/games/202/G020237/20131216031/
Cute game power!
Edit: and Card Fight!! Vanguard: Lock On Victory!! coming this Summer.

This is quite possibly the most insane prediction I've ever seen on this board. Last year at this point in time the Vita only sold 10k and this year it's at 28-29k depending on the tracker, and on top of that you're predicting that not only will it only go up 6-7k units at the height of the holiday season, but also with a Limited Edition Final Fantasy model launching as well.
To be fair, that FFX Vita might just be the ugliest Vita has ever been:
Is that a sticker?

MY EYES!
Wait, am I insane beause it's too high or too low with my prediction?
From most posts so far, isn't it more than that? I predict around 700k-800k if I intepreted it right.
Outside of UK, I don't think we can already say it's not going to have a good holiday in others countries. I think it could do ok numbers in France and Germany, and something decent (I mean relatively decent) in the US.
I just said 'oh my god' out aloud. Spooky!

Actually I didn't remember that PS3 had such an awful second year. Still after Smash bros and Mario kart are released I just don't see how NIntendo can push hardware sales of WiiU for the remaining year. Maybe like you said that if it gest higher baseline from those releases it could still beat PS3 for the next year. Year after that there is no hope though. PS3 had decent increase in 2009.
WiiU sold 220k in November in US. Those are Dreamcast like numbers. It will not have ''decent'' holiday in US.

You' ve done more crazy predictions than this.

Are you honestly still talking about Miku after all this time? Again: my suggestion that it could have the best opening of the series wasn't just retail, but taking into account the popularity of the bundle (I don't know if that is counted in it's totals on MC), and the expansion of the digital market from PSP to Vita which has significantly boosted certain games.
If it's about Monster Hunter then that game is tracking behind it's predecessor by over 1.2 million units at retail. It's obviously closer when you add in digital, but apparently you like to be selective about when that counts.
Everyone gets stuff wrong sometimes of course but my track record is actually pretty good on predictions.
It's Christmas magic! #BELIEVE
Don't make me search for every bit of what you' ve said. Some of your last predictions I see are these:
MH4 will underperform massivelly
Lighting Returns goes for a 300k first day
WII U will have a 100k December
But you have a good track record.
Magicpaint
Member
Yeah but some don't like to admit it
You constantly harped on about MH4 underperforming and how much of a mistake it was to be on 3DS for example. You were way off the mark there, it's okay to admit it.airmangataosenai
Member
Relative to it's predecessor it has underperformed. Again it's closer with the digital sales but at minimum it's tracking what? 700k behind 3rd? That's a pretty large amount.
And yes my predictions are good. I came in second out of over 130 people in last month's NPD.
The point is that any time I enter this thread he'e on my ass about it. For instance with Lightning Returns it probably did what? 220-250k first day depending on the tracker (I was basing it off the provided percentages and how the previous game sold under the assumption they wouldn't ship day one less than they sold week 1 for the previous game)? I wasn't right but it isn't as if I was off by a ridiculous amount either. If my worst predictions are around 35% off the mark then that's actually pretty good.
