PSV - 88,026 (+427%)

I like what I see there...1st edition bundles from last week. Hopefully this week is a lot better though since it is actually released. But 3DS wow @ those numbers lol...handheld gaming is dead though right? /s

GribbleGrunger5205d ago

agreed. those are numbers of pre-orders only in America! no European numbers and no Japanese centric games just yet. next weeks numbers should see a huge spike in sales. the trick will be to sustain a high average for the following weeks. looking very healthy though.

Solid_Snake375204d ago

im glad its doing well, but why are people still buying mw3?

360ICE5204d ago

@Solid_Snake37
Probably because they intend to play mw3.

SolidStoner5204d ago

360ICE

wow somebody still plays that game? its probobly China or India... or something.. :)

Consoldtobots5204d ago

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SITE STILL ALLOWS VGCHARTZ FAKE NUMBERS. WHAT A JOKE.

360ICE5204d ago

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER

CarlitoBrigante5204d ago

Agreed, FakeChartz is one of the worst sites out there, worst 360 and Nintendo fanboys, they always put PS3 numbers lower and later adjust when official numbers are out.

SilentNegotiator5204d ago (Edited 5204d ago )

Another game with an online pass takes first place. :/

And ps3 has gone back to selling the most in the HD console space now that the holidays of blobjillions of marketing dollars is over. Shocker.

Gamer19825204d ago

PSV will blow it away eventually its all around a better handheld and has everything that makes ipad etc.. a major seller. As for these stats seems PS3 and its games once again are taking the rest of the market by the reins. They have been for a long time now yet people still insist they are losing? Anybody actually seen sales for FF13-2 on 360? 350,000 worldwide on 360 and a massive 1.6 million on ps3. 360 a shooters console that factoid there proves it.

Wanna see next week how the PSV did. Wow those 3DS numbers are impressive. NINTENDO: "IT PRINTS MONEY HAHAHAHAHA!"

Half-Mafia5204d ago

Nintendo are not making any money on the 3DS after the price drop.

MySwordIsHeavenly5204d ago

Are you sure?!? It doesn't seem like a very expensive system to make...

Dakidog5204d ago

Are they really taking a loss on every system sold, is the 3d screen that expensive? I have a feeling they're still profiting on every system sold.

Half-Mafia5204d ago (Edited 5204d ago )

Also Iwata has took a 50% salary cut.

Dakidog5204d ago

Not taking Nintys word on that one lol, I could believe the Iwata bit though, he was under a lot of pressure to fix the situation.

Hint:

These are only the first edition bundles. Try harder.

TheGamingArt5205d ago (Edited 5205d ago )

I would like to also see the first real Vita sales! I mean, these numbers are for the early birds with the First Edition bundle (if that/maybe a bit earlier). As you can see, nothing is listed for EU either.

erasure2425204d ago

Even those numbers for the First Edition are VERY good IMO... The official release numbers should be very good...

Razongunz5205d ago

88k on the first edition bundle isnt bad at all.

and they only counted 3 days worth of sales aswell, which is nice seeing as this is US only and only a small portion decided on the first edition one.
looking forward to see this weeks sales seeing as it released worlwide this week.

GLOBAL Weekly Chart Week Ending 18th Feb 2012

Razongunz5205d ago

yes.. it says ENDING 18th feb.. the vita didnt release in EU or AU before 22nd. so the 88K only count from 15th-18th which is 3 days in ONLY US. how can it count sales Global when it didnt release Global before 22nd?

those 88k are ONLY First edition ones..and US is the only who got first edition.

the only way that these numbers was from EU and AU aswell is if someone imported it from US to EU or AU, which is HIGLY unlikely seeing it released in those 2 contintents only a week later.

i deeply apologise if i missed sometime or cmes out as a stupid tard here now, but when it says ENDING 18th doesnt that mean that they counted sales up until the 18th? and the vita didnt exist in EU at that time.. or in AU, so they could only have been able to count the US first edition. am i wrong? if so please explain.

ronin4life5204d ago

It is global, so Japan vita sales count.

LX-General-Kaos5204d ago

You seem to be getting bent out of shape on an excercism type of level over the sales of the Playstation Vita. There is no need to try to convince the world that the sales are higher then what they say on this chart. Everything will be perfectly ok.

If it is bothering you that much then you should take a look at the sales of the Nintendo 3DS. Those are some sales that will likely put a smile on your face as you see great people succeeding.

There are plenty of Nintendo exclusive games on the Nintendo 3DS that can and will cheer you up and provide a smile for that angry face. Nintendo took on the responsibility to make angry gamers like you smile and they will deliver.

Have yourself a good day sir and i hope you pick up your copy of Super Mario 3DS land before then end of the day.

Rated E for Everyone

Yangus5205d ago

PSV - 88,026 global?

its not ture...

Razongunz5204d ago (Edited 5204d ago )

its 88k in US only from feb 15th-18th the first global vita sales havent released yet

these 88k numbers are only counting first edition sold in the US only from 15th of feb to 18th.

Edit: it counts japan aswell, and that would be like 15k from japan so about 70k of those numbers are US first edition

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle28d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7727d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg33d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree33d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai33d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
