Do those PSV NPD numbers count bundles?

I'd guess not, since Assassin's Creed & Call of Duty aren't even close to the numbers here and those two were heavily bundled in the USA.

In which case, even better. Madden should also be higher than the numbers there.

As far as I know, bundles and digital not included. Surprisingly strong sales for some of the games they've listed.

Would explain why Nintendo are the publisher of the newest one in the West.

NPD doesn't bount bundles, so yes, both AC, CoD, and Madden are higher than shown.

Gonna sound strange, but I hope we hear about what Tarsier are up to at Gamescom. It'll have been less than a year since LBP Vita so I'm not expecting anything major; but they were making City of Metronome before that so it's possible we'll see that again. Or maybe something completely different.

I really like what they did with LBP - it was outsourcing done right by Sony. And we know what Double Eleven are up to these days (lots of indie porting) so it'd be nice to hear from Tarsier too.

Sad about Soul Sacrifice, however other sales are actually pretty good as they don't count digital nor bundles. Thanks.

A new Mass Effect trilogy unique to the Vita could do magic.

New Yakuza game announced; no platforms as of yet.

I know the chances of it being for Vita are probably low, but Nagoshi did mention that there was a version for Vita in the works.

More details coming in Famitsu on the 22nd in any case.

There's still a few of those Vita games revealed in their financial update to be announced so you never know.

Release schedule is starting to bunch up in the run up to Christmas like it did last year. You get Rayman followed a week later by KillZone, then 3 weeks after that back to back releases of FIFA 14, Invizimals, Dragons Crown a week's gap then Batman then Tearaway a couple of weeks later.

Marketing is going to be the biggest problem, these games will come out, but if the October rumour for PS4 is true, they're going to get completely muted by the hype around that. Unless Sony are clever and include the Vita stuff in their PS4 adverts.

I suspect that an eventual Yakuza game for Vita would be Yakuza 1 + 2 HD.
This is already out in Japan, but hasn't been localized.
