Soul Sacrifice bomba as expected. Serves you right Sony, you should have made Gravity Daze 2 instead!

Wait, what? They made a new ip, which seems to have a great niche following. Sales sure are terrible, but it was a great move. Now the lack of marketing and the psvita's current condition is another thing. At this point, I'd be surprised if most stores even stocked the game. I'm sure a new Gravity Rush would have done just as bad, if not worse.

Whilst I disagree with what he's saying, Sony creating a niche IP isn't what the Vita needs right now. It needs something massive, and releasing a game in their more popular franchises which isn't an FPS rather than throwing out new IPs all the time would help the Vita no end. These "niche" games make the system more appealing for the very select few and does nothing for the long term success of the system.

Good point. I fully agree with you in terms of strategy, but as a consumer I'm more than glad that they made this game. I also think that it has helped vita hd sales in Japan, which is something. I believe that if they put some more effort in the sequel, it might turn out to a very successful ip in Japan. In the west, I've no idea what they can do any more, but surely a gt6 prologue (exclusive) and a god of war spin off would probably be a good move.
