1 word: Call of Duty. It's going to be one of the Vita's many twenty-million sellers. |
Ohhohoho, how quaint. COD will NEVER be more than a 2-3 million-seller on the Vita, because handhelds aren't suited for long, online bursts or for FPS gaming.
Let's put it this way. If you're going to buy COD, you're buying it for the online really. And the online will always be stronger on the consoles. Not only this, but you'll be playing for lengthy periods of time, so the battery power might easily die. So you play at home instead, but if you do that, why not play it on you PSWii60/ PC, where you'll get a superior game with a stronger online community?
In addition, if you do buy the PSV version, it's so you can play it on the move, so you'll need the 3G model. But, even then, the 3G isn't quick enough, nor do you have enough of it, to play online. So the Vita version will be the weakest version, with no strengths of its own. So it won't sell.
Expecting the Vita version to sell much more than all of the handheld FPS games on any system put together is a tall order, and it won't boost sales for a long time, if at all. Hoping so is a callous assumption based more on hope than fact.
(As an FYI, very, very few games breach 10 mil, let alone 20. I don't believe there's yet a game on the PS3 to have reached half of the figure you think will include 'many games', so don't expect much on that front)
OT: Your prediction sounds crazier now than ever, I'm afraid.
