Namco Bandai just released a new batch of information, screenshots and artwork of the upcoming PS Vita exclusive Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, that will hit the Japanese shelves next year.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "A recent piece of news doing the rounds revealed the PlayStation Vita’s top 10 selling games in the United States of America, and it makes for some grim reading. While Uncharted: Golden Abyss rightfully tops the list, it only managed to shift a little more than 400k copies in the States, which is low by the series’ standards and paints a dire picture overall given that it's above all other AAA titles on the list, including Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, and Ki llzone Mercenary (although it’s worth noting that this top 10 doesn’t include any bundled software, otherwise Borderlands 2 would be at the top and Call of Duty at #2)."
I would think Uncharted Abyss and Killzone Mercenaries should be included in the list.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "the handheld was unable to attract certain types of software – western AAA development quickly evaporated, as did Sony’s own support, because there weren’t enough consoles out there for such titles to be profitable. But that doesn’t mean that every publisher failed to find success. Indeed, there are a number of franchises out there that have been able to appeal to the Vita’s niche and which have seen positive sales numbers and critical reception, leading to them becoming mainstays on the handheld.
It’s these series that I intend to examine in more depth this article – what they are, what entries we’ve seen, what success they’ve had, and what it’s meant for the console’s future. I’ll be using known sales figures where possible to back things up, hopefully demonstrating that the Vita has been a solid home for a number of great series despite its otherwise weak commercial performance on the market."
Save big on Resident Evil 7, Sword Art Online and other top titles as Amazon offers huge PS4 deals this week.
Needs a PS3/4 release
The game would be perfect as an rpg with online quest like monster hunter or even a full blown MMO as long as it wasn't subscription based.
namco bandai can you bring this instead dragon ball battle of z please.
I am happy with my Vita purchase so far and it's great to see more and more interesting titles! :]
