Has any Vita games a million seller yet?

It's almost impossible to get near to a 50% attach rate without bundles. The game with most sales is Golden Abyss, vgchartz has it at 670K, a great number in a reduced user base. It's probable that the real number is near half a million, but still is a great attach rate.

Confirmed end of JUNE

PSP sold more than twice as many units as Vita managed during Sony's most recent financial quarter, new data shows.
The contrasting performances of the two handheld systems were revealed today when Sony confirmed to CVG that worldwide Vita sales stood at 2.2 million units as of June 30, 2012.
The figure was originally provided to website PlayFront by PlayStation Germany's Uwe Bassendowski, although the article didn't specify a cut-off date for the sales.
Prior to the confirmation of 2.2 million Vita sales, the system's last publicly announced sales total was 1.8 million as of the end of Sony's financial year which concluded March 31.
The new calculations means that the PS Vita sold about 400,000 units worldwide during April, May and June.
When combined with separate Sony data, it shows that the PSP is outselling Vita globally by a ratio greater than 2:1.
In August, Sony told investors that combined Vita and PSP sales reached 1.4 million units during the three months in question. Therefore PSP accounted for about one million of the total, or 71 per cent of Sony's handheld unit sales.
In a new interview with CVG, PlayStation Europe CEO Jim Ryan said "we still have a significant PSP business in many markets, which is something that tends to be forgotten".
Earlier this month Sony Computer Entertainment UK boss Fergal Gara said the company "would love" to be selling more Vitas, while SCEA chief Jack Tretton labelled Vita sales "acceptable".
Yet Sony still has high hopes for its acclaimed handheld. Ryan told CVG that a strong Christmas line-up, complete with Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified and Assassin's Creed Liberation, is expected to reinvigorate the retail performance of the new device.

Wow, thanks man. I didn't know you can do a list of top sellers on the Game Datebase. I was comparing the top Vita and 3DS top sellers and the top 11 of the 3DS outsold the #1 seller which is Golden Abyss, and Sony should be concerned. Sony needs a miracle like a Mario Miracle which pretty much saved the 3DS. You think the COD for Vita will save the day? I thought it will but when I saw the trailer...it was bleh :p . Very disappointing! They need to get Crash Bandicot back and make a HD remake of it lol jk, but they should! Then, I'll buy a Vita!

Problem is, Sony doesn't own Crash anymore. I think Activision does nowadays.

So I guess we won't be seeing Crash In All Stars then?

Don't count on this. About the only signs from what little information's been doled out so far are flashing red warning lights.
Based on the amount of uncomfortable silence and general lack of available knowledge regarding the title, currently it's looking like about the only thing the game will have going for it is the CoD franchise tie.
I'm curious to see how many copies it sells in the opening weeks anyway, but I'm expecting to see plenty of mediocre to negative reviews for the title.

As I said, it's N4G's embassy. Funny there has been no mention of the numbers there at all. |
I made sure it was mentioned. And I paid for it. Do I get a cookie? :)

As you say, the truth is more or less in the middle. Vita isn't dead per se, but Sony needs a miracle to keep it alive. Nowadays it's in life support.
