Media Create Sales: Week 8, 2013 (Feb 18 - Feb 24)
 
I teased this in last weeks thread. Both a tribute to the late great #Paul Bearer (WWE Legend) and the PSVita's (temporary) rise from the coffin ashes:

Vita ended up right in the middle of the 40k 'doomed' and 80k 'reborn'. What does that make it? I don't know what to think!
 
14./08. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Best Price!) <ACT> (Capcom) {2012.11.15} (¥3.800) - 9.177 / 244.642 (+12%)

Yay!
3DS is really looking like PSP when it comes to Monster Hunter.
 
Those seem like pretty low numbers for Phantasy Star Online 2. There IS a downloadable F2P option, right?

edit: how does Layton compare to previous entries?

edit2: or better yet, please show me how to look myself. "give a man a fish etc." Isn't someone keeping a public database?

Wii U did better than I expected by apparently stabilizing at 10k. I thought it would continue to fall (there wasn't any release this week right?). I meant that's probably the same level as the weekly sales in Europe and the US :p

Vita and even Wii U rise, what a weird ass week

Looking forward to see how SS will perform

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Animal Crossing > your favorite game !!
RIP Layton !!
Bamco earning that DBZ money !!!
NSMB, MK7 and MH3U on 3DS rising... not bad, not bad at all.

Now the question that will linger the next couple of weeks is whether Vita is back from the dead or back for the dead.
 
Vita did pretty well. People really like anime boobies and slightly cheaper handheld consoles. We'll see how Soul Sacrifice does next week, too.

What are the Layton numbers like in context? I understand the series has been on a downward trend since the original, but does this beat the last one (which was a launch game iirc)?
 
130k for Layton good or bad? The last one sold 119k at the 3DS launch.

Imo, not very good. It did slightly better than the 5th one, which was a launch game. And worse than the spin-off with Phoenix Wright. That said, I believe Layton games are pretty cheap to produce. But Level-5 has to find a new breakthrough hit as soon as possible.

This came out of the blue.

This week and SS should be interesting. :D

I love Layton, but Layton vs AA left me with a bad taste with the series, and fulfilledy need for a Layton game at the same time.

I'll buy this one, but it's third or fourth down the list.

Happy Vita did this well, and happy the Wii I is above 10k.

Edit: Hot Shots must be due to the bundle worth about 36,000 being priced at 20,000.

So and so numbers for Dinasty and Layton. Very solid numbers instead for Dragon Ball and Senran Kagura.
So and so numbers for Vita considering price cut and colors and games.
Surprised by Wii U hold.

When and what is the next big release for the Wii U in Japan?

I wish Vita would do those kinda number on a weekly basis (hell, even monthly would be better at the moment).

I truly hope Layton as it is gets shelved for good after this game. The brand can continue in other forms using the character, the themes, and the art style, but it's pretty clear this cow is getting milked dry.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
That's a pretty underwhelming result IMO. The 2 most significant releases since August, first price drop, and you really don't get a huge number.
