Call of Duty
Monster Hunter
GTA
Gran Turismo
FF X HD (will sell millions)

We need CoD for the West and FF X HD for Japan this year. Its urgent! A possible 50 bucks pricecut and itll be alright.



Around the Network

Gravity Rush now. The sales might be low so far, but it will catch on via word of mouth. THE game for the future, the next Gran Turismo.

Digital sales? much better? is that a joke?


Obviously it's not a joke. As strange as it sounds some people like to get games for $5 less with free DLC and extra bonuses. Even if digital sales are only 25% of the buyers it from PSN that's still a nice bonus.

 

But this thread isn't about sales...



Why is everybody thinking CoD will sell millions of Vitas?
It wont!



This year I very much doubt it as they have already killed it for themselves. Possibly next year?

Sadly, awesome games don't always make the best system sellers.  The mass market tends to buy into specific things (like Halo 4 and Call of Duty getting massive amounts of pre-orders).

God of War, Uncharted, Gran Turismo--all great series but I don't think any of them will "put asses in the seats" when it comes to selling the Vita. That franchise that will sell the Vita has yet to be created. Even all of the new IP's that Sony has pushed this gen aren't big enough yet. They still need to grow. Their best bet will be Battle Royal but I don't think that game is going to be huge, either--AND it's not exclusive to the Vita....

Didn't Mick Foley do just that?   Shifting viewers away from Monday Night Nitro to Monday Night Raw and thus win the "Monday Night Wars".  But anyways, each of those franchises alone wouldn't do it, but together they can.  I personally think the bigger problem is the lack of advertising in general;  Uncharted: Golden Abyss should have been marketed as the second coming of christ and Gravity Daze should be given the same treatment... and a Saturday morning cartoon.



Sony spent 50m $on Vita advertising, i think thats not the problem...
