Izo on 23 June 2012

In Japan it will probably be a Monster Hunter title of some sort.

The vita could have already had a great library of games but Sony keep f**king it up and giving there ip's to poor developers, Resistances could have been a great game, Mod Nation Racer shipping without multiplayer is a big mind fuck. Sony need to get some of the top devs on the vita because because giving there ip's to crap devs isn't helping

what is the reason of that Gravity Grush is the best PSVita game now.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I wouldn't be so certain. The 3DS has MH3G and MH4 coming (likely) at the end of this year, yet to Vita version has even been hinted at. I'd say 2014 at the earliest for any MH game on the Vita.

There is no "one" game. Metal Gear Solid 4 didn't propel the PS3 to its current sales position. It got there through a well-rounded library of games and a series of price drops/remodels. Its perceived value changed over the course of the generation. As far as games that could boost sales, Call of Duty might help. Sony needs to convince the general market that the Vita has a good amount of value. This means price drops, lots of AAA titles, and plenty of extra features. One game will never achieve all of that.

Don't entirely agree. Outside of Japan I think you're pretty much right. But outside Japan PSV is selling at a fairly sustainable 50% of 3DS. In Japan Vita is performing terribly against 3DS, and I think there is THE game that could bring popularity to Vita. Unfortunately that would be a MHP Vita exclusive title, which I don't think is gonna happen.

Interesting many of the posts in this thread are mentioning games that will not do much, or anything, for PSV in Japan.

I agree, Japan's the real issue for the Vita, but when NSMB2 and the 3DSXL launch in the same week, I think the Vita will be in even more trouble. Then it'll need something serious to help it, be it one massive game (like FFXV in Japan, or Gran Turismo), or a large library of games.

A Proper GT game and not the one they made for the PSP. That would help it alot in EU, somewhat in US, and a little bit in Japan.

Final Fantasy X would help it in Japan, a little bit in both EU and NA.

Anyways, Sony is never about "THE GAME" but more about "THE GAMES".

It may be the best game out on the Vita, no-one's denying that (admittadly, it has little competition). But it's no gonna help sales in the long-run. It had one slight boost of around 10k this week because of Gravity Rush, which isn't too bad. But it needs more, otherwise it'll return to the DOMED sales next week or the week after.
