I just wanna take all these cards and throw them in the air and bath in them.

The Vita version just had a higher sell-through with a (obviously) lower shipment.
Either way Nintendo has said they will make sales figures for download sales public, so we should see them in relation to mc sales in some shape or form.

I loved the second one in terms of song choice, but they are basically the same, with the third one characterized by a bigger RPG mode.

So it's already that time of the year in Japan. Time flies by.

And like that, the Vita is back to being beaten by the PSP and only having 1 game in the top 30.

I don't think so, but Nintendo said they plan to disclose their digital sales, I think.
Well, the game as a whole did so bad compared to last year that the Vita version being so low isn't the biggest problem.
Oh well. 3DS SKU, here we come.
I'm glad to see RF4 doing well, RF3 was really well received and being outsold already is amazing
A funny coincidence, Media Creates Vita sales lastweek/thisweek is almost the exact opposite of Famitsu's
Check the song lists for each game on the taikotime blog to decide. Personally I'd go with the second one just because it has Linda Linda

Wow, great opening for RF4. I was curious about how it would do.
3DS HW still holding on strong with the imminent release of the LL. Next week's numbers should be really interesting.
No Time Travelers at all? The PSP one just released...wow...
Jikkyou took a hit it seems from last year. Konami needs to release 3DS versions again. Of this as well as Pro Yakyuu Spirits.

That seems like one excessive use of store space, especially for cards. But then again, it's Mario.

L5 can't catch a break with Ni no Kuni. That game seems destined to flop no matter how many times they rerelease it.
I know that it was over-distributed and was subject to a price drop, but I think that the firts original version did really well.
I really think that it was a big mistake to aim it at PS3 demographic, honestly
(Note: at least in Japan. Maybe it will sell well on PS3 oversea)

It shouldnt be any problems tracking those cards because they are scanned at the register. If Media Create, Famitsu and Dengeki does it, that is another question.
In the picture above, how many cards are there on each shelf? I cant tell if it is 10 or 50. Looks like a lot though.

That doesn't invalidate his statement
The game struggles with slowdowns on Vita. Porting that to 3DS would be watching a Power Point presentation.

That thing is not LKS 2.

I'd say a 95% chance.

PSP/PSV numbers this and last week: looks like PSP stole 2k from Vita.
According to Konami it is the sequel to New Little King's Story, and it is developed by Marvelous.
It's not a sequel though, it's a reimagining of the first game.
LKS2 will not happen, and without Kimura it never should.

NSMB2 has many things going for it, but i wrote 95% because of the 2 days sales period + digital download copies might not be counted. I'd be surprised if it doesnt outsell it, but i didnt "dare" to say 100%
To be fair the revision's not a straight replacement, more an alternative option. That said I'd expect a little tailoff beforehand.

Megabomba. The last time PowerPros was this low 1st week, Konami dumped the platforms entirely (PS2/Wii) for greener pastures (PSP/PS3). Can we expect 2013 on 3DS/WiiU?
Also, platform debuts for the series:
[PS2] Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 7 (142,152)
[GC] Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 9 (36,063)
[Wii] Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball Wii (46,280)
[PSP] Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2010 (114,949)
[PS3] Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2010 (53,339)
[PSV] Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2012 (14,669)

Konami lied, it's a remake.
It's also developed by the AQi side though I believe, not MMV.
Didn't someone say the All-in-One release would push NNK over Xenoblade and TLS?L5 can't catch a break with Ni no Kuni. That game seems destined to flop no matter how many times they rerelease it.
At E3 Konami straight up said it was a sequel. Maybe in the localization stage they fixed the slowdown and made it a sequel, haha.
Anyways, Shinjiri posted this yesterday:
JAPAN VITA PSN STORE TOP 10 (July 16-23)
1. Pawapuro 2012 (119/4.68)
2. Time Travelers (251 /4.42)
3. Assault Gunners (568/4.66)
4. Persona 4 Golden (2.295/4.95)
5. MGS HD (470/4.75)
6. Dokuro (207/4.87)
7. Resistance: Burning Skies (169/4.26)
8. Gundam Seed Battle Destiny (719/4.58)
9. MGS 3 HD (29/4.79)
10. Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational (2.526/4.48)
(Number of rates / Rate score)
I don't remember the exact numbers, but the PS3 version fell waaay short of expectations. There's no way it broke even. Its LTD at launch price was probably close to 100k, and I think they ended up selling more but only after relegating it to the bargain bin.
The DS version on the other hand, that sold pretty well.
I really hope it succeeds overseas. Namco seems to be pushing it relatively hard, with Ninostarter and all that.

Do retailers pay for pre-paid/download cards upfront like they do for any other good? Or do they only pay once a card gets activated during checkout?
