NiKKoM on 27 January 2014

needs at least 2 more scantily cladded underage female characters to achieve that... I believe in you Sony DLC!

Well by the time the game comes out the install base will be closer to 8 million.

Also games have legs so just a year after release that's like only 1/11 Vita owners buying it.

Im going against the grain and going to say it will make it. Depending it the game is sold and as good as it looks.

That's a tall order for a new IP.

I don't think any Monster Hunter clone ever made it close to 1m. This seems a little absurd.

Well, yeah.  Freedom Wars + Freedom Wars G/Burst/Ace/Delta/Xtreme Legends might make it to a million if they're lucky, but God Eater is still ~300k away from reaching that mark and that was by far and a way the biggest success story so far.  

It's nice to have big expectations, but it's even nicer to have realistic expectations.

I'd love for the game to sell 1m; I just see it being an incredible uphill struggle given the userbase and the fact that only one game has made it so far.

We're just a couple months to have 3 million sellers on Vita http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/43/playstation-vita/

 

Maybe 5until the next year *-* If we're lucky enough

I really doubt it will ever happen, but at least this could mean that Sony is aiming to make this game on a big IP. Bundles, animes, mangas, marketing, they are probably preparing to give it a big push. At least I think they are, I mean, hopefully they are not expecting the game to sell based on consumer word alone (mouth to mouth marketing).


I want bundles, ANIMES (MAINLY *-*), mangas and marketing for Gravity Rush and Soul Sacrifice too! They have such cool story and characters!

I can see anime happening, it's a nice way to bring attention to the game and create a universe around the IP. Go call ta guvernah!

Having seen a few comments on GAF, I'm going to chalk this one down to mistranslation. I think he's saying that he wants to grow the IP into a series which will sell millions. Not that this specific game will hit the 1m mark.

Well... it might get to 300-400k in Japan alone if they get into it... but unless they have fixed the woes of Monster Hunter gameplay (repetitiveness), then there is no chance the game will sell very well in the west.

I am really tired of MH structure on portable games. Japanese might like it, but its completely unviable in the west. Not only that but it only served to hurt other series where that kind of design splashed into (Metal gear solid peacewalker and Valkyria Chronicles 2 come to mind).

I say no to repetitive design. Just stop it, it doesnt make your game better. Sometimes, less is more.
