Media Create Sales: Week 8, 2012 (Feb 20 - Feb 26)

Pretty awful PS VIta sales.

No new software, so the Vita drop isn't surprising. EDIT: Oh, apparently Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus and Reality Fighters - although hardly big sellers.

Not sub-10K yet. Sad that that's the most positive thing one can say about it right now.

The only things in the near future that might slow or temporarily reverse the decline are FIFA, and Pro Baseball Spirits.

Surprised Naruto and Asura's Wrath managed to move hardware as much as they did.

EDIT2: Wow at Love Plus w/w decline... o.O

Vita is doing bad ..... apparantly JPN hates vita but I have to admit there is almost no JPN oriented game at all but sooner or alter this will change.

Has the numbers for the rest of the world been released yet? or am I weeks too early? All the Vita needs is a few big named games and it's off.

It's the One Piece hype for the PS3. That game is gonna debut big. I expect 500k+.Eponique

Future not so bright for the Vita :(

Not really the games that could sell a system ... not like monster hunter or Mario games .... but Vita will pick up.

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]Such a boneheaded move by Nintendo.

I like to play Harvest Moon in Japanese. I like to play certain games in Japanese. And there will inevitably be unlocalized games.

People were able to get past the PSP, but I guess that meant they weren't buying the games, which I would do. Maybe when they revise it, I'll dump the NA one with my copy of Revelations and replace it with a Japanese copy.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] There are no mods and hacks for the 3DS yet. What's worse is that a firmware update will almost certainly render any hacks useless (or end up bricking your system). What Japan game did you want?charizard1605

I own Shiawase no Uta (no time limit for caves in the JP ver!), and this looks kind of like it.

Lol, don't bet on it. I believe that region locking is likely a deal made with publishers. I don't think the hardware companies care all that much.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Ah, yes, Harvest Moon. Haven't played it since the Gamecube one, and I'm hearing really good things about this one. Maybe a future firmware update will remove region locking. I hope.charizard1605

Probably wait till I buy a JP 3DS. Not like I would enjoy a time consuming game like Harvest Moon as much as I was younger anyways.

Nintendo clearly smell blood in the water, lol.

As if the 3DS lineup for the upcoming months wasn't enough, Nintendo just announced new MH and SM3DL bundles, a new color(cobalt blue) aswell as a Fire Emblem bundle with limited edition 3DS. new color releasing March 22nd alongside Kid Icarus *pictures* That FE 3DS is hot. Japan gets all the good stuff yet again while the rest of the world suffer, not fair Nintendo.laus_basic

That Fire Emblem 3DS is the sexiest handheld I've ever seen.

I'll be surprised if the 3DS doesn't a billion and one units in March. This is too good to pass up. There's already the MGS bundle and the KH3 bundles.

Fire Emblem bundle is hawt!

[QUOTE="hakanakumono"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] The only upside I can see with region locking is that it perhaps, just maybe, *might* make piracy a little harder, and I'm not sure on that one either. So are you going to hold off on buying this till you have a JP 3DS, or will you just buy the localization? :Pcharizard1605

I can obsess over animal crossing hardcore for a while before i lose interest and am consumed by weeds.

Also, outside of the god-smack amazing Fire Emblem bundle, I'd put the Kingdom Hearts bundle as my second favourite. It looks very... classical :P It could do without the logo though
