Should have known you would become desperate sooner or later. GTA hasn't even released for the 3DS nor MH so what are you comparing those titles to on the 3DS. Did Resident Evil 5 underperform on the 360 and PS3 becasue GTA4 outsold it so much. Thats what you are pretty much saying by comparing much less known core titles on 3DS to those juggernalts on the PSP. Alot of those other titles are Sony titles, which Ninty titles have done just as well on the 3DS. Anyways atleast you answered the question of what sells on handhelds. Thats all that matters not if core titles that don't even do that well on handhelds will sell. GTA and MH is all you got, which is on its way to the 3DS and GTA has yet to show up this gen.

You keep focusing on just a couple games. If I was just talking about GTA and MH I wouldn't have posted a list of 52 games. My point is there are a bunch of core games that sold over a million units on the PSP.

In case you don't recall, my argument was I don't believe the Vita or 3DS will be as successful at selling core games as last gen hand held consoles. It seems you now agree with me. Hence, I won this argument.

Nope not at all, you compared the lifetime sells of core games on the PSP to the first year sells of core games on the 3DS. Ninty makes core games as well whether you consider them core or not is irrelevant. The only major selling core games on PSP was GTA and MH and i have already responded to those.

Let me explain to you again. My original argument was I don't believe core audiences in the west care about handheld consoles. The list I posted is a fine example of how core sales declined on the PSP.

Forget MH and GTA. I'm more concerned that few handheld core games can achieve a million nowadays.
