A Kingdom Hearts remake selling very well, Square Enix should feel ashamed for not releasing an original KH game for the PS3, instead they focused on Lightning...

People are forgetting that the bulk of Vita sales are digital.

Remember, all Vita games are digital.


well lets say half of them are digital. That makes 28k-30k FW, It released on a Tuesday i think.

I was expecting around 30k first week in US so if its around that with digital then that sounds about right. I still havent even brought it and im a huge KZ fan, there is just way to many games coming out atm.

KZ mercenary low retail software sales are not what i'm surprised cause i believe there are lots of Vita owners buying it in digital, i'm a always digital Vita games owner too, but what surprise me is the low Vita hardware sales even after the price cut in US...

Yeah, Looks like Sony played dumb focusing on the US with the Vita when they should have been focusing on Japan the whole time.

You guys seriously expecting 50% in digital sales?

60% of purchases included indie and dlable software as well not to mention DLC.

how do you base that? Is through ranking sales? Also if it did, wtf happen with vita sales, it didn't move at all! Europe doing a tad better though

I use a highly scientific formula:

 

(No. of reviews on the PAL store + No. of reviews on the US PSN store) * 25

= 1981 * 25

= 49,525

For digital only titles, I multiply by 50.
