LTD sales

And the game keeps on rolling!

Platinum was a remake. B/W2 is a sequel. Totally different, you can't compare the two.

Coming from the guy who just one hour ago used a sales comparison between a mainline game and a spinoff (1) as justification for why the 3DS isn't attracting gamers.

Btw, the Vita userbase is mostly casual as well, because no single game sold to the majority of the installed base (2).

(1) I don't see how Revelations is a spin-off (aren't the "mainline" episodes already different from each other?), but I'm not familiar with Resident Evil so I must be wrong. Btw Racoon City also outsold Revelations, and the reviews were even worse than RE6.

(2) Vita doesn't have Mario games annihilating the competition.
