One of the many knocks that vita haters place on the system is that somehow having the same game on the PS3 will someone hinder/dilute its ability to sell.  Im here to say that notion is slowly going away, at least for Japan.  Even though the pattern has been going on for at least two years, the recent release of the Last of Us has reminded me that the days of high profile games causing increases in PS3 sales are over in Japan.  Meanwhile, medicore games are causing big shifts in weekly vita numbers as the handheld continues to build its library.

PS3/V versions of games will sell higher than if either was sold alone and 2013 will be the last year in which PS3 equivelants of games released for both systems will sell more.  2014 will usher in with publishers will moving to a Vita version only and if they decide to publish for both, the Vita version will sell more.

Also all the games below will be system sellers for the vita despite other versions:

Toukiden

Dragons Crown

Final Fantasy X/X-2

Super Heroine Chronicle

J Stars Victory Vs.

God Eater 2
