- Holy shit, look at those Fire Emblem numbers!  GOD STATUS APPROVED!
- Vita down, 8K still
- 3DS hardware bump not as big as expected, but nice bump nonetheless
- 8 of top 10 are 3DS
- Kid Icarus has wings and KH3D still managing to stay relevant
- Dat holy trinity, again, Mario and Sonic Olympics in top 20.

[pointguard3]

impressive fire emblem showing and the 3DS dominates the top 10 with 8!!...will there be any game to save the vita in japan?

[senseinobaka]

Looks like japan domination of the 3DS is confirmed. Dem Fire Emblem numbers are crazy.

[AndrewDean84]

I can't imagine what the New Super Mario Bros. 2 numbers will be like?

[chakoo]

Dat Fire Emblem!!!

"8 of top 10 are 3DS"
I know gaf was going on about this but really it means jack shit when #2 is only 20k. Fark a Vita game could have came out and charted for a change. Actually many on gaf seem to ignore that vita has Surge Concerto out this week and that I think could give the vita a small hw boost.

Also I think capcom has a big secret they will be announcing soon. It makes little sense that the new MH puzzle game is for PSP, they're releasing their Summer show line-up on May 10th (same day as sony's media event) and it seems a certain vita update later this summer fixes a flaw that plagued Lords of Apocalypse.

[AndrewDean84]

8 of top 10 is still a feat, no matter how it's spun.

Not really. 10/10 is more of a feat.

8/10 has happen quite a few times in the past.

No shit 10/10 is more of a feat.  8/10 is still a great stat.

With NSMB2 and Mario Tennis coming 10/10 seems possible.

[LionFranco]

Personally, i'm just going to consider it a feat right now that the Vita is staying around 8k each week when almost nothing major has been released for it in like a month or more. I'm sure we will see some significant bumps once some high profile games are released...eventually.

[StephenO1683]

I like how KI has wings but you'll completely disregard any Sony first party title that doesn't chart in its opening month.  

8,2k is the new 10k.

[AndrewDean84]

I'm sorry the results bother you.

[StephenO1683]

Not bothered at all.  Just pointing out your stance.

[AndrewDean84]

That's I'm happy the best handheld game I have every played is continuing to sell?

[StephenO1683]

Yes.

[AndrewDean84]

Oh.  Ok.

[StephenO1683]

Yes.

[AndrewDean84]

Anyone here think the Wii will outsell the Vita in the next few weeks?

[LionFranco]

Possible...but doubtful.

What's coming out for Vita in May in Japan?

[LionFranco]

All i know is that some stuff better show up and soon, because as a diehard playstation fan, i'm actually concerned that the Vita will be dead in the water soon at this rate. And even though there is already enough between the Vita and my PSP games, and hopefully PSOne compatibility soon that i'll never run out of stuff to play, Sony really needs to FUCKING STEP IT UP, show us some kick ass shit that people will want to go back to their Vita, or buy a Vita, for.

I know there are announcement events coming up in early May, and of course E3, but there better be stuff that makes me , and turns me into a believer again, as i'm seriously disheartened by there being NO real info right now regarding future Vita game releases. I understand that it doesnt need as many games as the consoles do, but DAMN Sony, i bought this thing, and even though i did end up getting a free one from Sony, I WANT MY DAMNED MONEYS WORTH OUT OF IT!

Sorry...just venting some frustrations that have been building over the past few weeks.

[shady]

Lion, Vita will pick with some nice games real soon. There were a lot of good choices just two months ago, and launch periods almost always have down times in terms of new game releases. It was the same with the DS, the PSP, the 3DS... steady game stream will come we just have to be patient for a few more months. The Vita will probably do better than the PSP in the long run worldwide, but it will never be close to 3DS sales. Doesn't need to be though to survive, PSP survived for a long time with DS owning the market.

VVIIDDDEEOOOOOOGAMMMMEEEESSSSSS

[AndrewDean84]

No need to worry Lion.  The Vita is just dealing with the worst time every console/handheld has to deal with, the drought after launch.  I suspect to see a nice montage of future Vita games at the sony press conference.  I just hope games release in September-December.

[shady]

We all hope for more games in September-December for Vita.

[LionFranco]

I know, i'm just venting out of frustration, i know that Sony will bring the rain come E3, but i just expected there to be more info atleast beforehand. I'm loving my vita, and i definitely have not run out of things to play just from launch, but i just want the future to be bright, and while i dont expect it to compete with the 3DS saleswise, i want it to atleast surpass the PSP.

And since i havent really mentioned it yet...

on those Fire Emblem sales, I very much am looking forward to seeing it here. And what is this Code of Princess RPG, and what % chance above zero does it have of coming to the US? And do #16 & #20 in the list have a chance of coming to the US?

And do we know if the 3DS Harvest Moon that released recently has actually been announced for the US yet?

Nothing really. =( It might get a sales boost in early may because golden week is next week and VG sales tend to go up with people off from work/school.
http://en.wikipedia....en_Week_(Japan)

This week though this hits (it's sales show up in the numbers we get next week).
http://andriasang.co...concerto_video/

June will be better. We get Gundam, Monkey Ball, Metal Gear & Persona 4.

[StephenO1683]

May in the West should be better for Vita.  I know three games I am for sure buying for it before July.

Yup.  I'm renting three: Silent Hill, Gravity Rush and Resistance.

[StephenO1683]

I dismissed SH because some of the early previews have been less than stellar.  However a top down SH is interesting.

[Comet]

I want Fire Emblem sooooo badly

[pointguard3]

I need announcements for Vita Games, I need NHL, I need NBA 2K, I need Killzone, GTA and so on...

[AndrewDean84]

Maybe you'll get them at E3.  Maybe.

[pointguard3]

maybe...but what happened to the "we can port a game over in a week" talk and that all kinds of developers were lined up to work with this system, and we've heard absolutely nothing as of late!!!

[AndrewDean84]

You sound like you did back with the 3DS drought.

Name change, confirmed!  j/k

I haven't read anyone, besides maybe Sony, saying the Vita can have ports easily.  But, I think that the Vita could probably get ports easier, if games are being developed at the same time.  And right now isn't the time when devs show stuff off.  E3 is right around the corner.  Nintendo however does whatever the fuck they want and release information whenever they feel like, like the NSMB2 announcement, pre-E3.
