Assassins Creed launched and sold 100k units which is amazing for a game on a platform of 3million users, far from a "flop" and as for call of duty that will have little to no impact on the japanese market anyway, no one would ever expect an fps to change anything for a system in japan, it isn't their thing.

I specifically remember most of the third party 3ds games outselling that greatly even when it was doing so poorly. Maybe for a 3 million user base that would be an accomplishment but isn't the vita supposed to be aimed at the people who go out of their way to buy stuff like ac? How can 3ds games be outselling vita games like that even when it was doing so bad? Might sound pretty sarcastic here, but I thought sony systems were supposed to be safer for third parties.
