Is that good? Hopefully, if so good for them. I am one of the people who bought it.

Still playing it.

Studio-YaMi4093d ago

Lots of Vita owners buy digital copies of Vita games,obviously these are just the numbers for the physical ones,I think all is good.

himdeel4093d ago

All of the games on my Vita are digital copies. Im only limited by the 32 gig card. Wish there was a 96 gig card.

xyyyr4093d ago

Europe release still to come as well, pity it is digital release only but thats better than not coming at all.

shammgod4093d ago

Exactly. Shipping 250K is excellent when I would say half of the vita owners buy digital. I bought this digital.

Aceman184092d ago

How is it ? If I ever get a Vita, it's one of the games that interest me.

profgerbik4092d ago (Edited 4092d ago )

It is a lot of fun I would recommend to pick it up but with Soul Sacrifice and DOA 5+ coming to the Vita next month and April I would hold off.

I mean if you have the money to blow it is a good monster hunting game to add to the collection but if you are tight on money and planned on getting anything else soon I would just be patient.

As much as I love it I just probably won't play it much once Soul Sacrifice is out.

Knushwood Butt4092d ago

It's good for Japan, yes.

Generally speaking, anything over 100K is considered a hit, so 250K physical only is very good for a game like this.

Studio-YaMi4093d ago (Edited 4093d ago )

Combined with the digital purchases (lots of PS Vita owners buy their games digital)I think the game has done really good considering the install base,good job !

And the game deserves even more,it's a great game,I jump into it from time to time just doing missions and fighting huge bosses :D !

CommonSenseGamer4093d ago

Got numbers?
I have never purchased a full retail game of PSN (or marketplace) as they cost more than getting them on disc!

DarkHeroZX4092d ago

lol they cost about the same. The reason disc are seemingly cheaper is because of used prices, and the retailer's ability to change the price at any time while games listed on PSN aren't as flexible. Buying vita games on PSN is actually 10% cheaper than buying physical plus the speed of the micro card is faster then the physical cart. And backing your digital games on your PC and PS3 is easy so you don't have to completely re-download the game all over again to make space for other games.

Studio-YaMi4092d ago

it's common sense(no pun intended) that when you see such a large demand for 32GB cards for PSVita you'll know how many people actually buy their games digitally.

I only have 3 games that are hard copies and over 10 titles that are digital copies,I just bought a new 32GB card for the games coming later this year.

Don't have official numbers though,sorry ..

SirBradders4093d ago

Wheres my fucking european version!!!!

Tapani4093d ago

It's having sex with the Japanese version!

MasterCornholio4093d ago

Not bad given the install base.

oONinjavitiSOo4093d ago

Good numbers for an awesome game! I really like the fact that they are making several action rpgs for the vita! Soul sacrifice, toukiden, pso2, and gods eater 2 just to name a few. Keep them coming sony!

Vita Means Life - A Retrospective (2011-2019)

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "With the sad but expected news that Sony is finally discontinuing production of PlayStation Vita hardware worldwide (combined with the earlier news that cartridge production was stopping in the west), it marks what will likely be the final chapter in the extraordinary journey for this little handheld that could. Despite its own creator rapidly withdrawing development support, third-parties cancelling projects left and right, and more internet negativity than I've ever seen for a console, it just kept trucking on - delivering a brilliant gaming experience for anyone willing to give it a shot.

So in light of this news I wanted to deliver a brief retrospective to what has become my favourite gaming machine ever, looking back at all the things it has done so well throughout its life, alongside a short look at what its final year might hold from here. While it's sad to see the Vita finally reaching the end of its life, there have been so many brilliant experiences along the way that I want to celebrate these here - and I know I've (personally) got many more years of enjoyment to come thanks to my backlog too!"

Ten brilliant Vita games no one told you about

Digitally Downloaded writes: "This week we're going to have a look at that console that everyone claims lacks games. That's right, the PlayStation Vita. The sad reality for those naysayers is that it doesn't lack games at all. In fact, the Vita has some truly entertaining games that were release to little or no fanfare thanks to the console's utter lack of visibility in the market.

So, if you haven't got a Vita yet, consider the ten games we've listed below. You might not even realise these are available on the console, but if you pick one up and grab these games to go with it, you'll quickly realise just how good the Vita can really be."

Oh hell no I know ragnarok odyssey is not in this list lol
To each their own but I seriously hated that game

Nerdmaster3990d ago

Yeah, I was really disappointed with Ragnarok Odyssey.

sherimae24133990d ago

i need to get that atelier totori plus, ASAP! because starting next month to october ill be buying a lot of new release vita games, that i might forget this
i wish there is a retail for this game :(

Ult iMate3990d ago

I really liked Totori. It's so cute and funny. And has great replayability.

Cam9773990d ago

Get this:

It's a new indie game that is available on PS Mobile. Sorry, this is all I could find of the game on Youtube.

Furthermore, I'd advise you check out "LONE SURVIVOR" when it's out which is yet another survival horror Indie game.
I can't wait to see what's in store for the Vita at E3 2013!

Smokingunz3990d ago

I don't agree with this list! This author has bad taste. The only good game on this list is Silent Hill Book Of Memories! Now that is an awesome game.a game worth buying indeed.
