With Gamescom just a few days away we will hopefully see som new announcements for Vita games, maybe even some new IPs. So I decided to take a look at how the PSVita's current new IPs have performed compared to one another.

Looking at the graph above it's clear that Soul Sacrifice far and away had the biggest opening of the 3 and has kept that pace since release. Gravity Rush had the 2nd biggest opening but quickly plateaued untill it's release in the west. That leaves Unit 13 bringing up the rear despite launching worldwide first week campared to Soul Sacrifice and Gravity Rush which both launched first in Japan only.

Even though Soul Sacrifice has only been out for just over 20 weeks it has pasted both Unit 13 and Gravity rush in totally sales despite both being out for more than a year! The battle between the bottom two however is much more heated with both games trading spots 4 times since release. As of now Gravity Rush has cemented itself in 2nd place over Unit 13. The most interesting aspect to the 3 IPs sales is how close their sales are as of now.

I wish Gravity Daze sold more. Amazing, amazing game.

I'm at this time the only one thinking Freedom Wars will have more sales than Tearaway, It is actually more appealing to me than Freedom Wars right now, but the Tearaway won't sell much in Japan not more than LBP anyways, so I guess this will be why FW will take the lead even if Tearaway will have more in west.

PSVita has a niche userbase. Freedom wars will sell more than Tearaway first year. Tearaway will do best on the long run tough.

Gravity Rush lost its tail because of PS+. While that's good for the sake of a sequel, it hurts the totals now. Otherwise, I think it would be much higher.

Unit 13 got almost no advertising. I don't think it has a future as a franchise because of that, which might be why it hasn't been on PS+ yet.

Because of all the hunter games on the Vita, I'm not entirely sure Soul Sacrifice has a future, either. If it does, I think the next one needs to expand its scope to be more social like the others.

Yes, it did however the future of this franchise is in the bucket cause the dev  went bust. 

Maybe, but Sony could still bring it back if they wanted.  It's their IP.  That would surprise me a lot, however.
