I don't beleive the Killzone Mercenary numbers that are on VGC, especially in NA. VGChartz has sucked ass at tracking Vita games lately (The Walking Dead, Jak Collection, Rayman Legends) and I think Killzone is the latest to suffered.

Interesting facts about Killzone Mercenary's USA numbers:
- USA FW sales were ~6k higher than UK FW sales. UK second week sales were 1k higher than USA second week sales.
- USA FW sales were ~3k higher than Japan FW sales. Japan second week sales were 2k higher than USA second week sales.
- Muramasa sold 1k more FW than Killzone.
- Dragon's Crown sold nearly 2x more FW than Killzone.
Either Vita's fanbase in the USA is incredibly niche and hates mainstream titles, or there's something massively wrong about Killzone's numbers.

Indeed, I find that really troubling for the future of the system. Dunno what they can do to change PS Vita's fate on western markets, perhaps PS Vita TV will help a little bit but I'm not sure. |
Vita TV won't save Vita. I know exactly what Vita needs! Exclusive GTA, MGS, TES, AC, FF and Witcher all released in 2014. Top that with GT6, a new CoD and a game from Bend, Naughty Dog and Santa Monica and boom! You have a saved console. Cause let's face it - these were the games we were expecting to get on Vita in the first place.
Additionally I've been thinking some time ago, maybe Sony could pay for a game like Mafia? Saints Row? Sleeping Dogs? And my ultimate dream would be Starcraft: Ghost on Vita, but they would have to shell out some serious cash to pull this one off.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

@Noctis: Nice! I guess this is the announcement of the new vita title that they talked about last week. I read that when he joined Idea Factory, he might have brought along some of the talent that worked under him before as well. |
It says:
"The lunchbox evolved, windup doll evolved, nails evolved, purikura (kind of photobooth) evolved, PS Vita also evolved!
It become/became like this!"

It's a very bizarre situation. Maybe people are more likely to buy it digitally?

haha nice. Thanks for the explanation. It actually makes sense once you know what the hell they were actually saying
On a different note I'm looking at the Mighty No.9 KS campaign and like I said..as crazy as it was to even think so, this might actually hit the vita stretch goal. Well over the PS3/XBone goal and 20 hours left to go. Should be a close one

Hey guys.
Been a while since I last posted, work has been hectic. Three things of note.
1. Muramasa. I must say....this is the first game I bought for my Vita that I have actually been dissappointed with :(. I am just not having much fun with it. Maybe it has something to do with all the attacks basically being relegated to a single button. Enemies come at you so fast I just end up mashing it. Luckily I only payed like 20 for it.
2. Oddly enough, having WAY more fun with Little King's Story.
3. How is Killzone:Mercs? I want it but I am very low on funds. I have the game reserved but still havent picked it up yet. Gauging what I will have the money to buy before year's end. This, Valhalla Knights 3, Ys: Celceta, Beyond, or Tales of Xillia

100k to go in 18 hours, i think we might just make it =D

Closer to $200k. But at the rate it's going up it should make it.
