This Week In Sales: Mario Kart 7 And Monster Hunter 3G Stand Strong

Sales slowed down across the board last week, coming out of the holidays in Japan. Mario Kart 7 held onto the top spot for another week, while Monster Hunter 3G inched closer to selling out of the million copies that Capcom shipped.

 

The only new item that charted during the week was The Idolm@ster Anime & G4U: Vol. 3. Meanwhile, PlayStation Vita sales dipped to sub-50k for its third week on the market.

 

Konami’s recent trio of PSP games that failed to chart in the top-20 during Christmas week had an opportunity to make an appearance last week. Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 in particular, has sold very well, at 157,000 copies. We now have some insight into PowerPro Baseball 2011 Ketteiban and Frontier Gate sales, too.

 

The top-20 software sales chart for the week was as follows:

    Tri G should hit one million next week, and great to see 3D Land still selling strong. Things overall for the 3DS should die down a little for a few weeks. Then big releases like Resident Evil, New Love Plus, and Tekken should get the numbers back up. Vita is in need of a Popular Japanese Game like right now. Love Golf, and Uncharted were ranked in the 27 to 30 range. Selling some where around 10,000 to 7000 copies each. If you use the fact that the number 20th game sold 15,000 as  a starting point.

    Vita sales in JPN and headlines make me legit cry and weep before bed. I dont understand how such an empowered console can not be busting these charts. Dont people understand the graphical power it has and the experiences that only it can deliver?! Why.

    Hopefully Sony understands that they ought to reveal their line of upcoming titles for the platform for 2012 soon and are quickly securing and continuing to secure third party support for the platform. Though I guess thats not an issue in JPN since Vita will sell more than the consoles anyway and all the parties seem signed on to support handhelds for the foreseeable future.

    Sales will get interesting once the platform hits the Western world. 

    Microsoft ought to be evaluating how they should proceed in the next gen with JPN or just decide to get out of the JPN market, since even in the holiday season, they are missing from the sales charts and missing consistently week after week.

    • James Beatty

      “I dont understand how such an empowered console can not be busting these charts. Dont people understand the graphical power it has and the experiences that only it can deliver?” 
      Graphics aren’t everything ;)
      ….but i’m sure sales will pick up eventually. It won’t sell as well as the 3DS, but it should share some of the success the PSP had. 

    • aoihana

      It appears not everyone is swayed by graphical prowess, at least not in Japan, apparently. ┐(‘~`;)┌

      I agree, Sony really needs to show me why I really want a Vita, and their 3rd party support would be a good start. (^v^)

      Sales will get interesting once the platform hits the Western world. 

      The sales will indeed get interesting, for better or for worse.

      I don’t think Microsoft holds much of a presence in Japan, at least compared to Sony, but it’s definitely there. I, too wonder what Microsoft will do differently in the future, if not abandon their ventures in the Japanese market completely.

      One thing is certain: They’ve got to be more aggressive. (◕‿◕✿)

      • Solomon_Kano

        MS is practically non-existent in Japan at this point.

        • http://twitter.com/Xander_VJ David García Abril

          Yeap.

          A friend recently went to Tokyo and told me it’s VERY HARD to find 360 games at all in “normal” stores. And even in specialized stores are pretty scarce.

          • Solomon_Kano

            That’s pretty crazy. Wonder how MS will do next gen — if they even give Japan another go.

      • malek86

        They were pretty aggressive during 2006-2008. Still didn’t help much. Maybe they gave in too quickly, but then, I guess it’s not easy to convince the publishers to keep supporting your console when it’s just not selling.

        But it did sell more than the first Xbox. Baby steps, baby steps. Maybe. Or maybe they should just give up.

      • Hendra Susanto

        True enough. Japanese (I think) cares more about the gameplay rather than graphics.

    • http://twitter.com/ifarah12 Gren

       A system can have the best graphics ever but it’s not going to sell without any great games.

  • James Beatty

    I’m surprised mario kart is out selling monster hunter. Isn’t MH supposed to be like the biggest thing out there? Both are doing much better than i expected, and i expected them to sell pretty well so this is good news :) Nintendo has been doing really well the last couple of months, and i think they deserved it. This year has been hard on them but at least they where able to turn everything around.:P

    • http://tristsantithesis.tumblr.com/ Tsunayoshi Sawada

      I do not think even Capcom expects a port of a Wii game to outsell a fresh new entry of Mario Kart.

    • malek86

      Well, on the PSP it was. But not all games necessarily translate as the same when they move between platforms.

      While they might be sometimes overlapping, I think it’s safe to say that the 3DS and PSP audiences are not quite the same. Otherwise, the PSP wouldn’t still be selling so much.

      I’m more surprised at the sales of Just Dance. Is Japan too catching the dance fever?

      • James Beatty

        MH sell on any platform, but it does sell on better on portables. I said i was surprised by how well mario kart was selling, not on how poorly monster hunter was. I didn’t know mario kart was so popular in japan, but i did know that MH is. I also realistically didn’t expect what is essentially a port of the wii game on a console with a fraction of the install base of the PSP to out sell the last big MH title that came out for the PSP. I’m sure MH will continue to be big on the 3DS, and i’m willing to bet that it will become bigger, well, if the 3DS continues to “blow up” in sales like it has been doing since september. :P

        • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

          3G isn’t outselling the last big MH title on PSP by a long shot. Portable 3rd is the best-selling game in the series so far. It took Capcom years to get to that stage by building the PSP Monster Hunter community up with other games.

          4 -might- have a chance of outdoing Portable 3rd, but it depends on a number of factors, I think.

          • James Beatty

            Yeah, that’s what i said :P But yeah, the install base of the 3DS is just a fraction of what the PSP had when portable 3rd came out. To expect other wise with a wii port/expansion on a handheld that hasn’t even been out for a year is very un realistic :P

  • darkraiders

    Vita sales once again dropped it’s sad really i was expecting something like this but it’s just sad to see it happen for real.

  • Solomon_Kano

    I saw a rumor on IGN that there’s a MH slated for Vita in the year’s second half. That should give it a boost. It desperately needs one and that’s a waaaaays away, so I hope Sony has something major lined up between now and June. Then they need to blow the door off the hinges at E3, otherwise they’re in MAJOR trouble. I’d like for the 3DS and Vita to be successful, so they need to hop to it.

    Anywho, it’s nice to still see Tri G, MK7, and 3D Land still in the top 5. The 3DS got a real nice boost there, and it’s nice to see that they’re still doing well.

    I wish Frontier Gate was doing better though, it looked awesome. I wonder how it rose those 6 spots though?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Christopher-Carmona/100000347329518 Christopher Carmona

      Those rumors are spreading like wild fire all over the Internet. Monster Hunter will find its way to the Vita eventually. 

      • Solomon_Kano

        I figure it will, but I saw it earlier so I figured I’d mention.

    • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

      We initially ran that rumour, too, but took it down because we discovered it wasn’t actually much of a rumour. Just speculation by Nikkei Trendy magazine.

      Ah, as for Frontier Gate, it was likely pushed down during Christmas week by all the popular, older titles making a comeback, as well as new releases. Now that the holidays are over, and there were hardly any new releases last week, Frontier Gate has more of a chance to “shine”.

      • Solomon_Kano

        Oh ok. I’m going to need IGN to stop posting rumors as “reports” then.

        That’s good that Frontier Gate is getting it’s chance now that the holidays are over then. Hopefully it’ll stick around. 20 is an easy spot to lose.

    • James Beatty

      It was just speculation. Just like somebody saying that they think the new Halo will come out next year. They have no inside source to back that info up, it’s just a guess. 

      • Solomon_Kano

        Ah. Well, that’s unfortunate. Would’ve been nice if IGN said that. They just said it’s reported to be coming to the Vita later in the year, as if it were happening for fact.

        • James Beatty

          There was an article on here that Ishaan had to take down. There is a MH game coming to the vita, but it’s just a port of the PSP game being played at a  higher resolution and with dual analog sticks that it showing off backwards compatibility with on the vita with PSP games. 

          • Solomon_Kano

            That’s actually just the PSN version of Portable 3rd playing on Vita, not a port.

          • James Beatty

            That’s kind of what i meant, but i guess port isn’t the correct word for it :P

          • darkraiders

            I might have heard wrong then i was sure Capcom said last year they had intention to release a HD version of MH3RD on both the PS3 and Vita.

    • darkraiders

      MH4 will be released on the 3DS this already have been confirmed by capcom.
      So if the rumor are true it would probably be a spin-off, a port or MH5 but if it’s MH5 we won’t see it on the Vita before a few years.

      • Solomon_Kano

        I doubt they’d alternate numbers like that, so Vita’s first MH will probably be a port of MH4. Was it ever stated to be exclusive? If not, they might just come out at the same time. That’s unlikely though.

        • darkraiders

          No Vita first MH will be be a port of MH3RD but this isn’t a rumor Capcom already confirmed that a long time ago.

          And Nintendo said they have secured MH4 to be exclusive to the 3DS but it’s possible it’s only a timed exclusive.

          • Solomon_Kano

            As I said to James Beatty, that’s not a port. There is no MH on Vita, that’s just MHP3rd’s PSN version. It’s playable on Vita via backwards compatibility.

          • Solomon_Kano

            Yea, you probably just got it mixed up. They used Portable 3rd’s PSN version to demonstrate how you could use dual analog with some PSP games and the little graphical bump they get from running on Vita. The PS3 saw MHP3rdHD last fall.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jeremiah-Velasquez/100001627819376 Jeremiah Velasquez

      Once CAPCOM/SONY announce/release a MH game for the Vita..

      NINTENDO/GAMEFREAK will definitely counter attack by announcing/releasing POKEMON GRAY(Whatever)..
      I’m so excited right now.. O.o

      • Solomon_Kano

        Counterattack. Lol. Thinking of it like a battle does make things more exciting. I don’t think Nintendo would save the next Pokemon game to counter a franchise they already have though.

      • Michael Vincent

        I think it will be Capcom/Nintendo counterattack announcing a separate MH title (again) similar to that to the Vita. And then Capcom/Sony’s Monster Hunter will suffer because the 3DS is priced lower, plus 3D etc. Lol. just kidding. :)

  • Brandonmkii

    Raged when I saw Ritsuko on the thumbnail. Felt much better to see Yukiho in the article.

  • D K

    If you ask me the Vita’s biggest problem isn’t the 3DS, it’s the PSP.  The PSP is still in the peak of its popularity in Japan and still has a ton of games slated for it.  There just isn’t the demand for a new system yet.  Ironically Sony may have rushed the new system out in Japan due to the PSP’s floundering in the west.  If Japan was the only market I think they would have waited longer and let the PSP run its course.

    Or, in longer form:
    http://www.ign.com/blogs/kevadu/2012/01/05/in-japan-the-vitas-biggest-competition-may-be-the-psp/

    • http://tristsantithesis.tumblr.com/ Tsunayoshi Sawada

      I dont really see it as a problem, it takes awhile for something new to overcome current competition as it is building word of mouth. 3DS managed to outpace PSP sometimes and now has sealed the deal on that and the DS. I imagine PS Vita will too once its upcoming games are revealed and its out of this period of huge competition due to end of the year purchasing.

      Its odd to make conclusions on videogame sales during a holiday period.

      • D K

        It’s true that the holiday period may make things weird, but even so if you compare DS sales post 3DS release to PSP sales post Vita release it’s night and day.  The PSP sold over 100,000 units the week after the Vita came out while DS sales were under 10,000 units in the same timeframe after the 3DS release.  In fact, DS sales actually dipped significantly *before* the 3DS came out in anticipation of the new hardware.  After all, why buy a DS when it’s successor is only a few weeks away?  But ther’s not even a hint of that in the PSP sales data.  PSP sales don’t appear to have been affected by the Vita’s release *at all*.

        • http://tristsantithesis.tumblr.com/ Tsunayoshi Sawada

          But why would PSP sales dip in the holiday period? What titles were out for PSP before and around the launch versus the DS, I dont recall there being as many high profile DS titles then as this season has had for PSP.

          • D K

            It’s not just about total sales but also relative sales.  Yeah everything is up during the holiday period, but the Vita was beaten by the PSP in sales in its *second week*, and now again in the third week.  The 3DS has *never* been beaten by the DS since it launched.  In fact DS sales post 3DS release are pretty negligible, which is what you usually expect after a new hardware platform has launched.

          • http://tristsantithesis.tumblr.com/ Tsunayoshi Sawada

            Quite sure there was a week other than the week 3DS sold 4K that DS family outsold it. However, your statement isnt all that true if we look to America where it took months for 3DS to finally outsell DS for a month. 

    • Solomon_Kano

      Yea, I’d have to agree. While the 3DS is looming over the Vita, the PSP will forever be a thorn in its side if they can’t get the kind of support it still commands.

      It was a real dilemma that Sony had to deal with though. It was either they leave a dead PSP in the west with piracy running all over it and lacking support or introduce a new system while Japan wasn’t ready to leave its predecessor. Kinda happened with the PS2 and PS3 at first, too (though for different reasons).

      They need to convince those PSP devs to move on to Vita if they want to get that support. Ideally both would coexist, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to work at present so they need to get some key franchises to rollover to Vita. Nintendo already kinda killed the MH thing (it’ll still be a big deal when it comes to Vita, but not as big now), so they need some other key Japanese franchises to make the move.

    • Hendra Susanto

      Couldn’t agree more. For Japanese, I think the most important thing of a portable system is the gameplay and mobility (especially an RPG). If they prefer prettier graphics, they’ll go for PS3/Xbox360. I’ll say what I think about these 2 handhelds and their successors.

      PSP – PS Vita

      PSP for them is more than sufficient enough. Decent (almost PS2-like) graphics and decent gameplay are all they need in a game. What does PSVita bring to table for them? Much prettier graphics (almost PS3-like) and slightly better design (almost the same though). Do they really need them for a handheld system? Not really I think. Heck, in terms of graphics, PSP are even comparable to (better than?) 3DS.

      The problem is PSP lost popularity in Western while it’s still quite stable in Japan (still selling 30-50% as much as the new 3DS) and Sony were confused what to do. I still think they should’ve waited for huge titles like Persona or Final Fantasy or Monster Hunter to be launch titles. Then 3DS will have a good competition.

      DS – 3DS

      I’ll keep this short. Who’s thinking DS graphics are good? Even the 2D games sometimes look bad, and the prettiest games on DS are only comparable to average looking games on PSP. So yeah, when a new updated and better looking system with 3D gimmick was released AND key titles like Mario were released, Japanese started to ignore DS and go for 3DS. Different from PSP, DS just didn’t have anything to offer anymore

      • kuro_chan666

        3DS graphics are better than PSPs, and 3D makes it look even better.
        The best title that will show the difference would be New Love Plus, since the demo’s available(in Japan), though, 3D is unavailable, but the graphics are amazing.
        You can compare it to any game on PSP, and it will still be better. 
        Well, that’s to be expected, considering 3DS is a new gen handheld.

        • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

          Wait, New LovePlus doesn’t have 3D? I never knew that. Not that it personally matters to me, but I did wonder how they would make it work with 3D, since the original LovePlus makes you hold the DS “tate”-style.

          • kuro_chan666

            No, the game will have 3D, just the demo doesn’t allow you to use it. It’s turned off in the demo by default, but it will be available in the full game.
            And New Love Plus doesn’t need 3DS to be held as a book, due to all those gyroscopic sensors and all, you can hold it however you want, and the game will adjust itself for how you hold it.

          • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

            Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

          • James Beatty

            Yeah, i found that cool. The 3DS’s 3D works in different ways. I believe i heard that this game uses a simmilar style of 3D that mario kart uses since if you move the 3DS you won’t lose the 3D effect. 

        • Hendra Susanto

          yeah, that’s why i said it’s still comparable because PSP still doesn’t look so bad right while pretty DS games look, well, err… adequate ? I remember Unchainblades Rexx, a PSP and 3DS RPG and looking at the screenshots, there’s no way to tell the difference. 

          Of course it helps immensely that Nintendo simply abandon DS ever since sales of 3DS improved. They probably told the developers to develop on 3DS rather than DS just because they can. The same way can’t be said about Sony because PSP still has strong followers in Japan.

          Of course launch titles. 3DS looked to flop initially because of the weak launch titles, but once Mario, Zelda and now Monster Hunter, the sales picked up dramatically (of course, the 30% price drop helps too!)

          • kuro_chan666

            Man, you forget the features. And 3DS’s feature is 3D, which can’t be adequately seen on a screenshot, and it adds a great deal of a difference, I must say. MonHun3G on 3DS without 3D looks still better than any MonHun on PSP, but with 3D turned on, it looks tremendously better.
            DS was mostly meant for 2D games, probably, which don’t really require any uber-graphics, it’s just that some companies decided to make 3D games for it, and it wasn’t such a bad idea, since they still made them looking decent, though inferior to even PSP’s ones.

          • Joanna

            Unchainblades isn’t really a fair comparison just as Lord of Apocalypse isn’t a fair comparison for the Vita’s power relative to the PSP/3DS. These games were made with the PSP in mind so the graphics have to be doable on the PSP. Unchainblades in particular is a really niche title so I bet the 3DS version was a straight port (with 3D added), hence the graphics being exactly the same. If you want to compare graphics take the Resident Evil game and Type-0 (both are one of the best looking games on each system). Clearly RE looks loads better.

            **Side note: I own both as well and both are great systems (as is the DS), but it’s pretty easy to notice that the 3DS is better graphically.

    • D K

      To further illustrate this point I made some graphs of launch-period weekly sales for both the 3DS and Vita (I like making graphs):

      http://www.ign.com/blogs/kevadu/2012/01/05/3ds-and-vita-launch-sales-comparison

      • James Beatty

        woah, nice graph. 

  • Guest

    Get used to see the vita like this for a long time, until they release a couple of really strong titles.

    • Luna Kazemaru

      I can agree with this the Vita just doesn’t have much out yet.

      • kuro_chan666

        more like – who knows when it’ll have any strong titles. Doubt even FFX remake(which is for a pretty wide circle) will make it more popular or make it sell well.
        As of now, Vita is of no interest to those who want normal games, not remakes or whatever.

        • James Beatty

          FF X is probably the only game i’m interested that has been confirmed for the vita, but i still have the original version and FFX “HD” makes it sound like an HD port rather than an remake. I believe the game is also going to come to the ps3, so i really don’t need to buy a vita for any game i’m remotely interested in since most vita games are in some shape or form available on the ps3. 

          • http://tristsantithesis.tumblr.com/ Tsunayoshi Sawada

            Most vita games are on the PS3? Thats not accurate. Of the 20 or so launch titles in JPN only ~5 have ps3 ports, 4 if we remove D3R which is a modified port with tons more content than D3 on PS3.

          • James Beatty

            “Most games are from franchises that already exist on platforms such as PS3? Seems like a safe bet to do that when releasing a game on handhelds, see Nintendo releasing games in franchises that already exists swiftly”
            In a way, that might be true in some cases but i haven’t played a REAL paper mario game since the gamecube, i haven’t played a fire emblem game since the gameboy advance, I have never played a Kid icarus game, I haven’t played a good star fox game since the n64, I haven’t played animal crossing since the gamecube, super mario 3d land is very different from any mario game every made, and I would say that Zelda oot 3D is the one that would most fall under the category i said, but i do hold fond memories of that game and i haven’t played it since the free gamecube bundle i received years ago. I also bought the system for games like paper mario, kingdom hearts, and revelations since those are games i really like and they all look like the best installments of their own series to date. (and i’m “hungry” for a survival horror RE game, not that RE 5 bull) As for the vita game, i played all those games about less than a year ago, i don’t feel the need to buy a system for those games and by looking at the sales, a lot of people would agree.

          • James Beatty

            Ok, that might seem a little harsh the way i said it. What i meant, at least from my point of view, is that there aren’t a lot of interesting games on the vita that aren’t similar to a ps3 game. They all look like watered down version of games that i already own, and i don’t think that’s why i would purchase a handheld. I already have both LBP games on the ps3 and the one on the psp, same goes with modnation racers and the vita version seem to be exactly the same just on a tinier screen and with a touch interface. As for UC, i played and loved the 2nd one, but by the 3rd one the series started feeling a little stale to me(it was focusing too much on cutscenes) and the vita one looks pretty bad when compared to the console counter part, and it isn’t even made by the same guys. Probably the most interesting game that has nothing in common with a ps3 sony title is gravity daze, but it doesn’t seem good enough for me to warrant a purchase. I’ll pick one up if it gets a really good KH title, or something along those lines, but until then the vita is too expensive and it doesn’t have enough original and good titles announced for it to warrant a purchase from me.

            @google-813eeb877e3afcbf4a9402dd1a2d8c4f:disqus Most games are from franchises that already exist on platforms such as PS3? Seems like a safe bet to do that when releasing a game on handhelds, see Nintendo releasing games in franchises that already exists swiftly. Kingdom Hearts also already exists on other platforms and would be similar to others…

            It’s the same problem the psp had: mini-versions of games you already own in a home console, or that eventually got ported to said home console. That sony is repeating the exact same mistake is truly beyond belief, you would think they would have learned something by this point about not making yet another expensive console with a weak series of launch titles.

    It is ironic that the PSP is doing better than the Vita. Of course, I have no problem with this because I still have tons of PSP (and DS) games to beat. :)

    this is weird, I saw on another site that the 3ds actually sold 197.952  this past week in Japan, and here it says it was only 109,463… weird

      Ah, I mis-pasted the 3DS number for the week. Thanks for pointing that out. It is indeed 197,952.

    I think the amusing part (And people aren’t aware of this in most cases) Is that Idolmaster G4U can ONLY be purchased with the Blu Ray disc of that particular episode.

    In short, it’s effectively a collector’s edition item, which in turn makes the fact it broke in the top 20 a bit… amusing, to say the least.

      The two previous G4U releases (also bundled with anime episodes) didn’t break 10k nor enter the Top 20.

      I honestly didn’t think Idolmaster was the kind of franchise that gets affected by the holidays, but apparently it is.

        Yeah, I know, I have the other two, and technically didn’t contribute to the 3rd (my sale of G4U3 was executed two days ago, so it fell outside that period).

        Bear in mind the Anime did just wrap up, so it could be a bit of that I suppose.

        There’s nothing (from my knowledge yet) that would indicate a spike – I think. Unless the Vampire Girl costume was in that volume, in which case… I’m not that surprised. I’ll have to check though.
