PSVita actually sells fairly well when it comes to digital sales. While most do not rate a title after buying it (And you can only rate IF you buy it digital), the game does have 3,500 rates in the US store. So in the US we can think of maybe 5-10k more on the sales at least for the US and maybe the same or more in EU.

Even if not, Uncharted would still be boasting a 25% or higher attach rate, which is pretty damn good if you ask me, especially considering not only did it have 25+ other titles to compete with at launch, but also costed $10-$20 more than all other titles. To think what it could be at if it didn't launch at a ridiculous price of $50, but rather $40 like everything else.

Perhaps. But Uncharted was there at launch, and that's the difference. It was also the must-have title at launch, so it's a different thing. Have a look at sales of a game released at launch for past systems; they always do better because there's less choice. 

People went out to buy a PSV for Uncharted. It's doubtful the same will happen for LBP, at least, not as much.

 

Look at the post below yours for another opinion. Hoping for million-sellers at this point when an incredibly popular launch title can't do it is asking too much. The install base is just too low.

I absolutely agree, but there is no guarantee that these titles won't continue to sell as the install base grows. It is definitely possible that as the Vita grows, so will these titles. I remember when Uncharted 1 on PS3 started off super slow (Like 30k or so first week), but as the install base grew and word of mouth as well, the titles sales grew along with it.

People who might buy the Vita for Mortal Kombat or even Gravity Rush may pick up Uncharted along the way and vice versa.

 

Also do not forget that Vita hasn't had a holiday season in the US yet. One could expect by years end for many of these titles to be million sellers, especially Uncharted. Holiday 2007 is when Uncharted 1 really began to boost up, which caused it to go from a 30k week 1 title to the 4m+ seller it is today.

Nothing is set in stone yet.
