Ubisoft said they are happy with the sale of Assasin Creed Liberation so how the hell you said none of the games sold well Call of duty is a really bad game with a small budget i'm sure Activision got a good amount of income.
Fifa 2013 would be a million sellers if it was not the same game as Fifa Soccer same for Fifa 2014
Late port will not save vita but spin off can save it and i'm tired to hear about games better suited on handheld and other better suited on console Uncharted is console like game,lbp is better suited to handheld but Uncharted outsold lbp by a lot.

I didnt say Ubisoft were unhappy though? My point was that none of the software sales on the PSV really encourages third parties to invest heavily in the platform. So ubisoft wanted 600k sales..whose to say that number brings in a profit? What if that was just enough to break even? Selling 900k units on an expected 600k doesnt really entice Ubisoft to go out an build a AAA PSV exclusive. They will probably just make another spin off and again that wont really save the vita. I dont see how you can say that? I mean what evidence do you have to back up that claim?
And also the fact that Activision released a subpar game for their premium franchise on the PSV says it all really. They already dont have any confidence in the platform. They clearly not willing to invest in the PSV. And whether the PSV cod was a bad game or a low budget game those sales wont entice them to invest heavily in the PSV. I think you have too much faith in the reasonable expectations of Activision :P
As for your Fifa comment...do you really think casual Fifa fans know that a game is rehashed? Look at COD? Hell even Fifa on the PS3 was practically unchanged until FIFA 14!
As for your last comment..theres nothing really for you to back it up. Sony has tried home console games on a handheld and quite frankly it doesnt sell well. It didnt sell well on the PSP and it doesnt sell well on the PSV.

Do you think a editors will be happy if it's game are profitable,i will be happy if they release another spin off,i think it's you who should proove that Assasin Creed Liberation is not profitable.
How could a editors don't have confidence in a platform when they don't make any effort,Call of duty Black ops 2 sold 0.21 million is 4 ime less then psv one do you think a game who sold 0.21 will generate more income then a game who sold 0.8 million.If action didn't make another Vita call of duty because of bad sale why they make another call of duty on wii u when the first sold horribly.
Yes fifa fans now the games is rehashed i don't think they are so much stupid i not a fans of soccer games but i think Fifa 2014 have better graphics some new move etc cod games should have new maps,a new story better multiplayer.
Sony try handheld game on vita and it sold a lot worst then their console game on vita,Uncharted is a console like game and it's a millions sellers ,Tearaway is a handheld like game and it can't even sold a half millions.

I wasnt asking you to prove that Ubisoft made a profit. I was simply saying that we dont know what the margins were with the 900k sales. Ubisoft could have meant anything with the expected 600k. Il ask this again...do you think Ubisoft will increase their investment in the PSV based on the sales of liberation? Because i seriously doubt it.
Other than that I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying third parties wont publish games on the PSV im saying they wont invest in the platform in any significant way.
Until games start selling well third parties wont increase their investment. The problem is they need to make good games in order for them to sell...its a bad cycle and thats why console manufacturers need to lead the way when it comes to showing the viabiliy of the console. Sony has failed to do that.
And really Fifa fans have been buying EVERY fifa on the PS3 since Fifa06! The game didnt really change much up until 2014! I've played every one of them!

I don't understand what you mean by increasing their investment if they make game they will surely increase their investement.

Well like you said not much effort was put into the PSV by western third party publishers. As a result their games havent sold well. Because their games havent sold well and the system in general hasnt sold well...they wont be investing in the platform beyond what they are already doing. What are they currently doing?
- porting console games
- releasing spin offs (some good some bad)
- some devs not supporting at all
Theres nothing enticing the publishers to put in more effort/more money into the platform. New AAA IP's tailor made for the system! Nope none of that. AAA spin off titles! Nope not much of that either.
That is what i mean by "won't increase their investment". Activision probably wont be releasing an amazing AAA COD on the PSV anytime soon. Or what about a new IP FPS made specifically for the Vita? EA probably wont release a ground up PSV centric AAA Fifa or any sports game for that matter. Ubisoft will probably just release liberation 2 with the same scope as the first. And so on etc.
Third parties will probably just keep doing what they doing. This wont help the system any more than it already has/hasnt.
