| Justagamer said: If they stick to vita, it wouldn't have made it into the top20. It's at #6, along with 12 other 3ds games in the top20... If it sold 15k on 3ds for launch, it would sell that lifetime on vita. Why limit yourself to a maximum number of sales on vita, that would be the minimum sales on 3ds? 13 top 20 games is amazing, regardless of your personal disdain against the 3ds.... |
While I'm not agreeing with Ryuzaki's sentiment, the underlined sentences just aren't true at all. When you're selling such a small amount of copies, maximum userbase doesn't mean squat, and there'a absolutely no guarantee that the games would've sold better on 3DS.
Since Magi sold ~15k FW, that's even in the ballpark of the other 3DS/Vita examples that show this isn't true:
Conception 2 - 19k FW Vita; 5k FW 3DS.
Exstetra - 11k FW Vita; 3k FW 3DS.
Even a sequel to a DS-exclusive title which went multi-plat with PSV and 3DS only managed 9k vs. 6k on Vita (Zero Escape).
While I don't think either of you are correct here (the game would've bombed regardless on what it came out on just because it isn't a desirable product by the looks of things); making sweeping statements like that about software sales (I assume) based on userbases is pretty much just flat out wrong when we're talking about such niche titles.
