Any other daggers you'd like to stick in the Vita's chest?
So this is why, shame, i feel this list is incomplete, it is one of the most popular game on it.
Somewhat better then the very poor physical sales, not saying they did great at all. Just guessing.
As sad as it is to say, so do I, lol...
It says in the OP that Sony provides digital salesThey likely did somewhat better digitally which the NPD doesn't track, these are only physical card sales.
Oh my bad lol

My bad, I thought they were like Nintendo and didn't.
I guarantee you that if the Vita got more ports of console shooters, they'd dominate this list as well.
It is pretty crazy how much of the first party library came to PS+. I think the only big game that didn't was Soul Sacrifice Delta.PS Plus offerings sold me a Vita and kept the games coming. I think I've bought maybe 3 games for Vita ever. Not a good thing but as a customer experience I can't complain.
I see Atlus also isn't included but is Sega?Nintendo and Bethesda are the only big publishers that have joined the DLP at this point. Hopefully we'll get there sooner rather than later.
But man, what does it say about how dead an IP Resistance was at that point when it couldn't crack the top 10 despite releasing pretty close to the launch of the system?
I mean, this really isn't that crazy considering that the Wii U had a few million sellers under its belt by the end, but yeah, 2012 wasn't a great year to launch hardware.I promise I'll stop after this one.
Vita software in the US was so bad that the top 5 Wii U games sold more than every single Vita game combined (Packaged Software comp only)

The Vita Curse is unsparing, and even though Dreams is shaping up, I still have a pang of worry for Media Molecule just because of Tearaway debuting on Vita. Prove me wrong, Sony!And people wonder why Sony stopped supporting it with big games and GG Cambridge died.
Any chance we could get a list of everyone participating in the DLP? I hope Nintendo, Sega and Bethesda all join up soon.
You're gonna give some people an attack with that comparison.
I wonder if there's a hard cutoff point for sales on that list, too, though for very different reasons. Piracy on the PSP was damn near mainstream.

I made the same mistake, Mat himself came in here and said they are. Which is even more terrifying.Persona 4 Golden would be much higher on the list if digital sales were included. Otherwise it's not surprising, Vita is very niche.
That's only North America but I imagine the rest of the world isn't much better and Japan's top 10 sell list would be radically different then this one lolYikes! Those are some LOW sales! 400k for the highest selling game on the device?!
Yeah, no way Sony tries their hand at a handheld again. Those figures are brutal!
Persona 4 is Atlus (Sega) game. It doesn't include digital sales (like that asterisk on the chart shows).I made the same mistake, Mat himself came in here and said they are. Which is even more terrifying.
While PSP was in no way software selling monster (outside of DS no handheld is) its software sales were not as bad people sometimes think. For first few years in US it was actually above 3DS when it comes to sales of retail sw (I remember seeing comparison in one older NPD thread)
They bought them on PS3 instead, simple as that. Had P4G been released on PS3 as well, it wouldn't even show up here.I'm genuinely surprised at the lack of FFX remake or Metal Gear Solid remakes. Both were excellent.
