With Gamescom just a few days away we will hopefully see som new announcements for Vita games, maybe even some new IPs. So I decided to take a look at how the PSVita's current new IPs have performed compared to one another.
Looking at the graph above it's clear that Soul Sacrifice far and away had the biggest opening of the 3 and has kept that pace since release. Gravity Rush had the 2nd biggest opening but quickly plateaued untill it's release in the west. That leaves Unit 13 bringing up the rear despite launching worldwide first week campared to Soul Sacrifice and Gravity Rush which both launched first in Japan only.
Even though Soul Sacrifice has only been out for just over 20 weeks it has pasted both Unit 13 and Gravity rush in totally sales despite both being out for more than a year! The battle between the bottom two however is much more heated with both games trading spots 4 times since release. As of now Gravity Rush has cemented itself in 2nd place over Unit 13. The most interesting aspect to the 3 IPs sales is how close their sales are as of now.
