I figured Type-O would have boosted the PSP slightly more than that. Maybe ~40K. I guess Japan is ready for the Vita.

Oh 3DS. You're so confusing. Incidentally, I think this is the best the Wii has done in a while.

IMO, the 3DS sales we are seeing right now are "inertial" and tied to DS software (SW), not 3DS SW.

That is dangerous for Ninty, they need SW ASAP, otherwise 3DS may be stomped by PSV.

But don't read me wrong, I believe the 3DS library will be very strong by the holidays and expect a pretty sizeable jump in HW sales. What I would have to see by myself is the balance of 3rd-party support in the coming years (with PSV already launched).

All in all Type-0 sales aren't bad. Could they be better? Of course. However if SE decides to release the game over here in the west I believe it could hit the 2M mark easily.

Well hopefully if Square isn't stupid. Why did my vote go down? It's not like i was lying. Dissidia bombed in the west because of piracy. It would be no different or type-0. God people are sensative.

Terrible sales for a delayed game. This should have been a Vita launch title and it would have sold bucket amounts. Dumb Square-Enix (Biggest Fail this gen is SE)

Eh...the PSP has one of the best ecosystems in Japan for game platforms at the moment. There's no reason why it would've sold a lot better on the Vita. We don't even know how popular the Vita will be to begin with. This is the potential for Type-0 apparently.
