Forums - Sony - Golden Abyss sells 330,000 globally.

Not surprising that it's the best selling VITA game in the west, and I'd say well deserved, I'm really enjoying it. It looks lovely, plays wonderfully, it's well-written and has the funniest dialogue out of all the games in my opinion, the mechanics mostly work well though the shooting can feel a little stiff at times, but this problem is taken care of by using gyroscope aiming, which works surprisingly well. It lacks the set-pieces and N-dog touch of the PS3 games, but it's still a brilliant game, especially if you're already an Uncharted fan as it gives us some more of Drakes backstory. It's well worth the buy :)

EDIT: If this were to include digital sales, the real number is probably over 400k, maybe even 500k.

How much do you think this will do globally? (lifetime)

What do those of you who have played it think of it? 



Around the Network

It's an obvious million seller. It may even reach 5 million someday. It will ultimately not be as well remembered as the console iterations though.



I really enjoy it. I platinumed it last night. Sony Bend should be proud of what they did because for once a second-hand dev didn't ruin a franchise.



When it's all said and done I'm expecting around 4-5 million in sales. It's a brilliant game. I hope there's more Uncharted coming to the Vita.



Fantastic game and these sales are great!



Around the Network

When I said this game would do 3 million lifetime people were laughing at me, now there are people predicting 4-5 million.

"Do not underestimate the power of PlayStation" from an early PS1 commercial lol :)



This game will do well life time, I guess around 3 million, maybe 4 with bundling.



I'm guessing it will do about 2.5m.

Maybe 3-4mill if the Uncharted brand on Vita becomes stronger

Possibly 4-5mill if the Vita takes off.

Maybe it could reach 5-6m if Sony bundles this game.

Add in extra sales for Digital downloads and we're looking at a potential 8-10mill seller here, easy.

And that's only the first game. Future titles could trump this easily, selling 15-20m each.

We could be looking at the next Pokemon here, if not bigger.

I think you being too harsh on Uncharted, it is already 1.44 million* and will be beating that 2.5m by sometime next month, as 60% of the users bought the game day 1, it most likely is at 120% now, because some users bought the awesomenly priced digital copy as well as the retail. 

*Sony has sold 1.2 million Vitas, and 120% sale rate of Uncharted is 1.44 million!
