Youkai Watch is doing so well it's starting to piss me off.

Me too. I just don't understand the fascination. However, to be honest, I never will.

The Japanese PS branch usually has a pretty good grasp of whats in demand, yet they still overlooked this one :|. Damn, they could have pushed and extra 40-50k units :|

Dividing by zero twice(40+) is Pokemon level  in the COMG points name chart :v



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

TBF, most of the Huge vita games do. This is made by Sony right? (i mean 1st party) Its most likely for 2 reasons they didn't bundle it....

1. Profits: Without heavy bundling they get the full amount instead (i could be totally off, so this example may be wrong lmao!)

2. New IP: Usually New franchises never get bundled aside from HW launches. Also Sony doesn't know from the beginning if this game would turn out big.

Only Vita game that i can think of that was huge in japan tat was new ip + bundled was Soul Sacrifice. GE2+Toukiden+FFX+etc were al already well established franchises!

I dont think the amount of money won without bundle is enough to compensate +20-30k in hardware sales, it''s jsut they didnt believe in this game as much as in Soul Sacrifice ( well me neither, i never thought this game would go so far), and now it's doing even better than SS, not a smart move

TBF on sony's part, then if they did do it they would have to bundle every big game, which also means less profits for them just for an extra 10k-25k Vita's sold.

Yes they bundled SS but they were desperate at the time. They had the price cut+SS release during last years March!

You cant expect them to bundle every big game, thats not how business works. Nintendo doesn't do every game bundles as well, though they are desperate to sell wiiu's. (I mean look at $330 MK8 bundle for example in price).

Diving by zero twice still sounds cooler!

Toukiden was an established IP?!

(He asks, knowing full well the answer to that question :P)
