The masterplan from certain Japanese publishers to support the least popular mainstream systems in Japan for their Japan-centric games seem to bear some well deserved fruits. lol

Considering they gave the 360 a lot of titles exclusivity at least at launch means it's very hard to disagree with this. Short term economics. Take a pay off up front and don't give a shit about the long term effects.
@Kresnik. I wouldn't call 200-300k amazing. For certain titles that can be considered amazing but overall I'd consider a minimum of 500k.
Titles like mgs5, DQH, pokemon, Yokai, monster hunter, gta, FF, P5 dragon quest, minecraft, Splatoon, mario etc etc do what I'd call amazing numbers for Japan.
Expecting Toukiden to sell in this "amazing" bracket if it was vita only is ridiculous. I know he wants to push his they want everyone from psv to ps4 theory but this just isn't right.

Because we all know PS3 has the same ratio as PS4. And SE never even said that .... so yeah.

Go back and read Vena's post that you were replying to again. Not once does he say the game should be Vita-exclusive, only that Vita should've been more of a focus since that's where the market is. You're the one projecting Vita-only onto what he was saying.
In addition, I don't know why you're throwing figures like 500k and words like "amazing" around, lol. The post you're replying to didn't say any of that. The only thing I can see to go on was Blowoverking saying he thought the game would be "huge" after the first game was successful, but since the first game managed to sell 242k on Vita, I don't know why you're suggesting they'd more than double their sales with the sequel.
Toukiden 2 selling 300k on Vita for example, while not huge in comparative terms to the biggest IP's in Japan, would be a huge game forthe console (only 4 games have officially sold more than that amount by my count), which I assume is what he's referring to.
So uh, speaking of Toukiden...

If he bothered replying he could correct the assumption I made.
I don't think if they focused on the Vita's version sales would drastically increase. it didn't stop the vita version of dragon quest heroes selling very well compared to the ps4 version.

Those persona 4 numbers are the original's on PS2? Vita numbers, don't you have it for comparison?
thanks for the effort!
Whats every1 thinkkng for P5 fw in sales? Pre orders are looking good. I kno some were worried about being too close to ffxv but doesnt look like that matters (well not for legs lol)

For some strange reason, people have very high expectations from P5. The franchise sure got bigger compared to the P3/P4 days but i don't think it can hit the numbers most people want to see (500k).
