Forums - Sony - Will PS Vita Have Any Exclusive Games Sell 5mil+ Lifetime? If So Name Which Games!

Mummelmann on 07 November 2013

No, it will never have a 5 million seller. Even a 3 million seller would shock me. Not only will it lack the required userbase, it will also lack the developer support and interest to get such an important title.
No developer is going to give a potential hit exclusively away to a practically non-existant platform for charity in the hopes that it might pick up.

Just like the other thread 

 

Exactly how the title says, will there be any games that sell over 5mil lifetime thats an Exclusive on PSV? Yes? Name it, and post how much you think it would sell lifetime!!!

 

So you expect 5 million plus games from Vita, but 10 million from the WiiU? While the PS Vita has more systems sold and it will stay like that will as far as we can see at the moment?


The thing is software sales not hardware. WiiU Has a much better chance of selling a game for 10mil than Vita has of a 5mil only cuz of franchises. Unless you think i should switch WiiU number to 5mil? 

Well you are right in what you mean. I mean Mario has much higher attach ratio sales. Still 10 million is virtually impossible. What game has the power to sell to more than 40% of the userbase?

you do know that the WiiU isn't staying at 3 million lifetime right?

Did i say that? I said i don't see it surpassing 20 million by much. Which is why i was talking about sales of more than 40% of the userbase.

to be fair Smash could be the game, a small chance, and Mario 3D World. But how knows?

doesn't NSMBU have an attach ratio of way over 50% (same as NintendoLand) anyway i agree, as of now it looks impossible but there is still a chance (even if its a 0.1%)

The only chance is if sales go up hugely from PS4 release and Vita TV, and they make an exclusive Pokemon or GTA game, so in other words, NO. Based on sales of Golden Abyss and Killzone: Mercenary, God of War and Ratchet and Clank wouldn't be enough to do it.  I am amazed at the KZ numbers.  It seems hard to believe they could be that low.  It is a great game too.

Depends if somebody at Sony actually gets the note that Vita is one of their consoles.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

ah sorry, little mistake on my part, still though, NSMBU is owned by more than half of the WiiU's userbase.

That's quite a feat indeed, although maybe it has been bundled somewhere or something, i'm not sure!
