Damn.

If Tbone thinks you're being too harsh on Vita, it's time to listen.

Let's hope they can pull something similar with Minecraft.

I did find NPD interesting.

FFX/X2 HD on Vita has outsold Lightning Returns: FFXIII on 360 life to date. And that doesn't include digital purchases. And it's sales weren't massively behind LTD of the likes of Bravely Default considering the huge disparity in userbase and the fact that it's a re-release of a PS2 game that's also available on PS3.

It's a classic and a decent installment in the series (at least X). I'm not surprised that it'd see a decent to good sales rate considering such, and the Vita is/was starved, so you have owners with nothing to use the system on. Compare as such to the 3DS which, even while having a lack luster year of releases, has a massive library that can keep players from being starved.

What I'm more susprised by is the lack of legs on BDefault.

Year really like this .. Hope it can susbstain some of the momentum .

I guess it shows it actually could be salvageable in the West. Hopefully Vita can get at least one big title before it perishes.

Got some evidence to back up Vita owners are game starved whilst 3DS owners are overrun with software? Metacritic suggests the opposite is now the case despite being on the market for a shorter period. ;)

FFX/X2 is a port which was also released on PS3. So if Vita owners wanted Vita version, why wouldn't they want Vita versions of the other software (which is normally dismissed as irrelevant to the library due to also being available on other formats?). Vita owners have plenty of great games to play ^_^

Im about to buy the vita , add one to the june monthly sales:)

I don't believe I ever used the word "overrun". The Vita has a very large but niche filled library, just look on metacritic and start counting the anime-esc games. Its a niche console in how its being handled irregardless of the volume of games that are pumped out, which leads to a limited library for selection. That is all I meant (and is why I retired my Vita, the selection of games became boring or lacking).

As for FFX, consider that its the only avaiable FF game on the console. (Unless I missed one.) That would easily explain why people who, may or may not own a PS3, would buy it on the Vita. Its an RPG classic brand with a classic and good game. Why not?

It's got most pre FFX games via PSN. Just not in native resolution.

Fair enough if the Vita lineup doesn't do it for you. For the most part I'd never really been interested in a lot of these Japanese games until I actually started trying them. The main reason I like it so much is it's got a really solid lineup of racing games (my favourite genre) at near home console quality.

People really do get carried over meaningless bumps. Those are still very mediocre sales. The bump is mostly from the redesign and a bunch of existing Vita owners buying the new model to replace their old one, is Sony going to release a revision every month?

This thing will be back to sub 30k sales in North America next month.
