Sony forecast only 5 million Vita and PSP unit sales in FY14

Hardware sales yes but I didn't mention hardware in the bolded bit, you said "most Vita titles are not selling well at all" I provided confirmed cases where Vita version has outsold rivals and of developers expressing satisfaction of sales.

PSABR under-performed on PS3 as well so it's quite clear there wasn't the market for that title. How about my other examples? Please show me developers/publishers stating they were disappointed with how their Vita titles performed?

Retro City Rampage's developer is making new Vita games because his Vita port outsold every other console version of the game (even the PC ver if you base it on revenue).

Compile Heart were originally only making 1 title, have now decided to make further ones.

Sega have announced they are releasing 5 more Vita titles this year.

Guacamelee Vita outsold PS3 version by a considerable margin. Remember your "hard figures" on Vita don't include digital sales which are incredibly strong on Vita compared with other systems as a percentage of total software sales.

I just can't find any evidence whatsoever to back up your claim about Vita software sales. Remember it was UBISOFT not some random VGchartz forum poster who said they were satisfied with AC3: Liberation's sales. They have sold over 600,000 units, somehow I don't think Amazon's tally came anywhere near that with the black friday bundles.

EA's Vita titles selling better than their 3DS and Wii U counterparts. They're not indie games.

They might not be home console COD/Tomb Raider/GTA sales. But developers budget accordingly and are clearly making money out of their Vita software releases. It's looking pretty clear that Vita owners are a lot more active in their software purchasing though. I'd love to see proper software to hardware ratios.

I don't think Vita owners are starving for some games. There is far too much software for any serious gamer to keep up with. Maybe it's lacking the shovelware that other formats are flooded with. But you know, if it lets a hidden gem shine or a much smaller fish get some time in the limelight, I'm all for it.
