So you think that all those titles you mentioned will explode Vita sales, while those games are also on another system. You last comment is more positive than it actually is, because the next best platform is the last platform too.


Well,yeah... explode Vita sales in relation to what they've been (12k).  And yes even though most are multiplatform, I specified Toukiden because that title is a new IP and multiplatform (PSP, huge userbase) yet provided a strong boost to vita's sales. The top 3 games I mentioned are all likely to perform better then Toukiden and will likely be mere weeks from each other. So if the Vita is currently selling around -17k whilst selling 33k on the week of the week of Toukidens release, I don't see why you won't expect some impressive sales this winter where the system will have a superior line up compared to this quarter.

Also your last statement is untrue as developers also have the option to release games on the PS3, PSP and Wii U. By years end the Vita will likely be the 2nd best option next to the 3DS.


Can you define explode? I want to know how much you think those sales would be. 

I think that God Eater and FFX will outsell Toukiden by 2x and 1.5x amd Jversus will have sales on par or less (isn't it a fighting game?).

To your last statement again, I understand where you're coming from now. I usually group handhelds at its side and home consoles at its side.

Well these were my predictions I posted in a different thread.

September- 90k
October-140k 
November-210k 
December-300k
Total: 740k (6x improvement over last Q4)

Just to put that into perspective, at the same period in their lives each of these consoles sold:

wii: 800k
PSP:1.6m
DS: 2.3m 
3DS: 2.5m


In context my predicted sales are good for a successful platform (only 60k difference from the wii in the same period), but far from its potental as a handheld in Japan.
