Yes i do.  This was dubbed as Vita's savior.  It has done nothing for the vita. it is currently a 410k and this is during the holiday season.  That is not good at all.  Someone brought up the attach ratio, but that attach ratio will have a huge decline as time goes on which was ignored in previous posts.  Call of Duty games sell above 20 million copies and this game is pegged to be a big title for the vita but cant even manage 1 million during the holiday season is an embarrassment to the company themselves.  The only good thing going for this game is 410k is more than what it deserved.  It sold strictly off of Call of Duty's brand name alone.

It would be impossible for this game to sell 1 million units during the holiday considering the Vita hasn't even sold 4 million units. That's over a 25% attach ratio!

Also, the game stopped being dubbed as the Vita's savior/big title once people realized who the developer was and that they developed the game in 5 months. The hope for this game dropped weeks before release.

The attach ratio is probably going to hover in 7-10% range until next year which is great for any game.


410k for a new title in the holiday season .  No it should of managed at least 700k.  Liberation outsold this game by 200k which released in a similar time frame.  That is what successful looks like on the vita.  now 400k and a 33 metacritic.  Like i said, it's attatch ratio will drop hard if the vita ever takes off.  If it continues to put up mediocre sells then sure it will hover aroun 7-10% but if the vita ever takes off then you are looking at a much lower number.
