I know! Another damn price cut! I personally think that a GTA game ( among other things) could really help the Vita. I mean it worked pretty well for the PSP!

Agree, but IMVHO the best Sony could hope for is that once it hits some still unknown sales milestone, Capcom announce the first true, new and full-fledged Monster Hunter for it. Not just an old port or a spin-off. Otherwise, Sony should develop its own first or second party new IP that exploit the same addictive psychological mechanisms Monster Hunter and Pokémon do.
 

They are :p

 

Pokémon = Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth

 

Monster Hunter = Freedom Wars


@Digimon: LOL a true Pokémon killer indeed!   

@Freedom Wars: Well, who knows? Currently it still is a big maybe. But to become a new MH being good won't be enough, it'll need to have the charisma of a great series and to be highly addictive like Pkémon and MH, with this addictiveness cleverly exploited with a carefully calculated title release pace. And obviously very good marketing. Easy, innit?

Well this has been an NPD for the ages. Despite the fact that it failed to raise the X1 over the PS4 I have to be impressed with Titanfall sales. An online only game achieving more than a 1 in 3 attach ratio in its first month on sale is astounding. 



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

don't know if it was said, and i'm late to the party. But looking at the numbers almost wonder IF VGC gets some of the numbers as Xbox and they put them to XB1 instead of 360. the #60 was under tracked and the XB1 over tracked.



Typical NPD month... I told you guys that March was not set in a stone because PS4 have a lot more demand than Xbone even in US.



BTW Prediction League Results Out.

Pretty much as you'd expect this month, though the difference between PS4 and XOne surprised me. Also, low low Vita numbers make me sad



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Somebody know when it's the next NPD ?? Waiting for it.



May 8th i think, it's the second Thursday that month. If not, then the 15th.



Was gonna to ask thx
