What do you mean?  None of the Tales of games have been localized so we can't look at those sales.  

Actually all the games he listed except MGS HD Collection outsold Resistance Burning Skies, even if you only look at NA sales.

RDR Vita. Don't care how much it costs. Make it happen Sony.

Well considering all PS4 games can be streamed to Vita what you described would only work for the next couple years and considering this would take time to actually accomplish there really is no point in even trying imo.  When the PS3 is gone there will be no more multiplatform games released on the Vita so the only games coming will be either made by Sony, Japanese games getting localized or western third parties, which I think will be very rare.  Sony should be making connections with these Japanese developers for localizations now because in the near future that is gonna be all Sony has besides their own games.

Why would we be looking at NA only? Really did Disgaea 3, Persona 4 and Ragnarok sell over 240k copies like Resistance did? And remember not to count Japan sales, cause we're talking about the purpose of localisation.

Because Ragnarok did not release in Europe or was not tracked on VGC so its not fair to compare Resistance NA+Europe sales to Ragnorak's only NA sales.  All those games outsold Resistance in NA and with the exception of Ragnorak, they outsold NA+Europe sales.  Also its not fair to bring up Disgaea 3 since it was sold on the PS3 years before it released on the Vita and yet it still managed to sell 100k+ sales in NA+Europe.

Yeah probably you're right. That's why I am saying for a couple of months now that Vita is FUBAR in the West. Remote Play might help shift a few consoles plus I think Sony will try to get a few exclusives for the Vita from western developers, when the PS4 establishes itself but it's already too late imo. 

It's already labeled as having no games, being overpriced, with expensive memory cards. Smartphones will shortly have games that will be crappy to play but better looking and for ten bucks tops, which is what people care for.

Like another user said, I think you're overestimating JRPGs like Tales of, and other niche games too much. I highly doubt those games would sell much better over here. The Vita needs more Western focused games.

Yeah the situation overall is very unfair for the Vita, or is it? I'm on mobile so it's hard to check numbers all the time but I'm pretty sure you're wrong or cherry picking, not counting Rest of the World numbers etc. Maybe Ragnarok wasn't released in Europe cause publisher thought there is no market for it? 

Anyway Resistance is just a placeholder, don't fixate on it. I just wanted to point out how you manipulated by choosing Persona 4 to validate your opinion, saying it's 4th seller on the Vita, while no Japanese game (iirc) with sales outside of Japan only would be in Vita's top ten.

@Bold - BS! Vita has a constant flow of games - just check how many games are released in October and November. The problem is that these games are middle tier games, not big time games that draw a lot of attention and can sell loads of hardware. Japanese games? Yeah... Wouldn't do much, really. With a few exceptions, I don't want Japanese games all that much. Sony should bring over the best titles and the jRPGs, it would obviously be nice, but it's just an extra. I want Western games. Most Western gamers want Western games. The problem is Sony was stupid to support PS3 in 2013 instead of Vita.

Every single platform needs a year in which it gets at least 8-10 AAA big time mindblowing 1st party games + a couple of AAA 3rd party games. Every single one. PS3 needed that, 3DS needed that, Wii U needs that (and is getting it right now starting with Zelda: WW HD) and Vita is no different. It needs a lot of love in a short period of time. It needs to get an exclusive God of War, a Naughty Dog game, Infamous, Gran Turismo, another Killzone (they have the engine and assets, use them to make another game), a Patapon, 2-3 Sony 1st party RPGs (they have the IPs - Rogue Galaxy, Dark Cloud, Legend of Dragoon, etc., they can make a new one as well), maybe a Heavenly Sword 2 and a Twisted Metal (they got the engine from the PS3 - just port it and make a game) plus 2-3 new games coupled with a bunch of big 3rd party games like Bioshock Vita, MGS V spin-off, an exclusive FF game, Persona 5, Morrowind HD, another exclusive Assassin's Creed, maybe a Soul's game and GTAV: San Andreas Story and... you have a saved console. Obviously though, it all has to be released in a single year, 15 months maximum. One punch after another, so that people see they are missing out big time if they ignore the Vita. Cause as it is now, an average gamer in the West sees a big game every 5-6 months. Not much really to get excited about.

This is pretty much what Sony needs to deliver to save the Vita. It's not like it's something unique or different from other platforms. Every single platform needs such a treatment, there is no way around it, Nintendo is doing it right now with the Wii U. Can you imagine Vita not selling after getting so many games in one year? And when it starts to sell - third parties will flock to it, bacause they will see a viable market there. They will even in the West, because developing for Vita is cheaper than developing for PS3, let alone PS4! Still, the burden is on Sony to make it happen.

So to sum up - one simple thing Vita needs is 8-10 major 1st party AAA games in one year coupled with GTAV: San Andreas Stories. And for bloody hell just kill the PS3 1st party support...
