March and early April were bad but rest of Q2 looks much better:

04/17 - Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention (PSV)

05/01 - Mortal Kombat (PSV)

05/29- Resistance

05/31 - Silent Hill: Book of Memories (PSV)

06/12 - Gravity Rush (PSV)

end of June - LBP

Thats a sexy little lineup right there. 

Not really. Disgea, Silent Hill and Gravity Rush will all struggle to reach 500k, or anything like it. 

Mortal Kombat will hit 500k, maybe.

LBP and Resistance will probably reach 7-800k.

Nothing will boost sales for more than a week, and even then, maybe only by a couple k.

 

The Vita NEEDS a system seller. There isn't one yet. And none of those look as though they will be.

I was talking about what I want to play. And LBP, resistance and MK should all be million sellers.

While I'd love to see such sales I think that's way too much.

Disgaea is niche with cult following so probably around 50k in USA

MK is big name but fightning games usually do terribly on handhelds so 50-100k for USA, maybe 250k WW.

Resistance should be around half of Uncharted ? So like 500k WW (lifetime)

Gravity Daze is a wild card here - it sold decently in Japan and has tons of hype + good opinions from importers but could be too artistic/unique for mass market so there's potential for great sales or flop like Folklore.

LBP should be big - not sure if it'll sell milion but should at least push a few systems.

 

Also it's interesting how biggest stuff comes at end of May, half of June, end of June - so all in time for Summer holidays - that should maximize the effect from them.
