Oh, GrumpyDog is back! You are just wrong and I think we can leave it at that.

Yes, it is the international verion of the game. The game will also include Eternal calm and The last mission.

The sales of CoD:BOD and the fact that KZ:M is by far the best selling 2013 Vita game in the West beg to differ.

You must be kidding.

- It was bundled in Europe, but the bundled sales AREN'T included in the VGC numbers, cause these are just download codes.

- BF sales - every single game that can compete with KZ:M in sales got even bigger pricecuts. KZ:M is actually more expensive now than it was day 1, which I think is just crazy.

- Adding the qualifier of a whole year (so more than half of Vita's life!) is pushing something? Just lol.

- The same goes for "in the West" - because it's a game typically for the Western crowd and can't count on sales in Japan. But ok - there were just three games this year that sold better if you include Japan, all of them were hunting games. Still, not a single Vita hunting game ever came even close to the sales of the other competitive online FPS on Vita - CoD. If anything, that would imply that hunting games and fps shooters are equally important genres, surely not that fps games aren't suited for it or are a bad fit.

So you are obviously just nitpicking to try and defend your flawed argument.

The sales numbers are low not because there is something wrong with this game. Tearaway did even worse and it's a perfect fit for a handheld, all other games did worse as well. The problem is that Sony is totally neglecting Vita and p*ssing on it in the West - this has to be said. They have released just 2 games for the West this year and they came at the very end of the year, so people who picked Vita up last Christmas just got bored with it and no longer care, just like Sony doesn't seem to care. The total lack of games for long months just killed any momentum Vita has created last year with ACIII:L and CoD and these consoles are just collecting dust at this point. You need at least one noteworthy game a month to keep people interested and this can't be just an indie game.

The bottom line is - not a single other game did better, so your argument deserves only to be thrown in a trashcan.

dood news ppl

Based koei!

Do the figures for Killzone: Mercenaries include download or are they physical only?

I ask this because it was shown that, in Japan, this game got the higher download ratio. The dowloads accounted for about one third of the total sales (about 33%)... If this is true in the West as well, and if the salesfigures don't include digital, the true sales should not only be higher that those, but MUCH higher (let's say from 140,00 units to 210,000).

Sorry for beeing super absent in the last couple of days.

I´m super busy right now, I write my exams on the 13th and have to learn this (almost) comically huge amount of cell biology-stuff right now.

Playing Guacamelee and Metal Gear Solid 2 on the Vita is probably the only thing that keeps me sane.

I love it, the display is fantastic, the analogue sticks need some time to get used to them (when you are coming from a 3DS) but are good to.

Glorious handheld masterrace.

Physical only,Vgchartz doesn't account for digital sales.

Hopefully both Tearaway and Killzone mercenary sold good digitally.

No it's not, what you said in first post was wrong.

I'm downloading P4G but my Vita won't stay in sleep mode for some reason...
