PSP was even destroying DS in its 1st year on market...just putting it out there. And then what happened to DS? Where is now?

So you expect Nintendo to make games for the PSV? Sure, why not.

No, better. I expect Activision to make games for PSV. IW/Treyarch, to be more precise

Those games don't have the HD twin trends on the Vita, so what is your expectation?

Look who's at the bottom of that list.


First off, PSP's multiplayer abilities were poor at best. Not to mention it was almost impossible to play a propper FPS game on a PSP. Easy fluid controlls and multiplayer are 2 top reasons why COD is so popular. PSP lacks both. VITA lacks nether with upgraded multiplayer and both analog sticks

Second, even if we pretend that piracy on PSP wasnt insanely high due to CF, all those released COD titles were of medicore quality at best when compared of those like COD4 and BO or any other COD game

COD only started getting huge in 2009 with the release of MW2, (COD4 sales were excelent, but nothing to write home about) and that was after COD franchise and almost all other mainstream developers moved passed by PSP, as you can see from your own chart...All CODs that sold 10m+ were released in or after 2009
