I wonder what they mean when they say that Little King's Story "hasn't sold particulary well", specially given that the game wasn't a blockbuster on Wii or Vita.

In any case, it¡s good news for PC gamers that will be able to play those games on their platform of choice, and for publishers because their potential market will also increase.


According to Steam Spy - it sold less than 2,000 copies since its release early August.

Assuming VGC's numbers are right  - thats about 298,000 copies less than the Wii version :P

 

But not sure if VGC's numbers are right but PSV didnt sell that much either.

Its just a poor niche title that was hurt by lack of marketing and the typical bad launch.

I'm sure the sales will go up once the game is discounted and all issues are over.

I wouldn't trust Vita sales numbers because they don't count digital sales, and they are very important for the Vita.



Please excuse my bad English.

The tracking for this particular game on Vita with VGChartz is absolutely absymal anyway.  0 sales tracked for the year it came out.  I know VGC has a margin of error, but still :P

 Plus I wouldn't call the Boku series niche really https://gaminggamma.com/2016/05/27/xseed-has-highest-sales-on-record-thanks-to-story-of-seasons-and-senran-kagura/

You do realise that artcle mentions Senran Kagura which is specifically cited as one of the 'niche' games in the OP, right? :P

Besides, that's just all the more reason it's time for the series to come to Steam.

(By the way, nothing to do with you personally, but that quote from the producer is just awful.  He wants to make sure everyone enjoys the game but he's unsure whether he wants to put it on PC because he doesn't think that's where kids play.  Uhh, what?)

Which one are you referring to?

Story of Seasons?

Yep.
