Top 10 PlayStation Vita JRPGs (First Three Years)

Ten ways to skin a dragon. If there's a single genre that stands out on the Vita, it's JRPGs. On this day three years ago, the PlayStation Vita was widely released in North America and I wrote this list to mark the occasion. So, slip into some comfortable cosplay and enjoy this look back at ten incredibly fantastical stories of slaying demons and saving the world.

Persona 4 Golden is now the best selling Persona game with approximately 860.000 copies sold.

it probably is, but it would still be interesting to see the real numbers considering thoes dont include digital sales. the psp ones were avalible digital, and then re-released on vita (bought P3p twice;phys+digi), as well as the PS2 games being re-released on the PSN store. also bought P4G twice. got sick of physical and went all digital with my vita. too many little games to carry around and/or lose track of. i dont mind swapping discs bc they are in the same room, but my vita was never near my collection so it was always a pain.

Protagonist3717d ago (Edited 3717d ago )

I initially posted the same, but after reading the comments from the users of vgcharts, it seems that it includes the digital sales. I am not absolutely sure though, because as you probably know, there are various opinions about vgcharts, and that is why I wrote "approximately". I am however confident that Persona 4 Golden is the best selling Persona game by now, and it will probably be close to 1.000.000, as Persona 5 is about to be released.

true. maybe, but it seems way off, only a half a million P3:P games sold in japan?? there were a lot of psps sold there. and same with P3 and P4, less than a million WW even when ps2 was in its Prime?? doesnt make much sense in my eyes but maybe im missing something. they dont like it as mich as i thought they did?? more importantly: they dont like it as much as Me?? i account for 100k of thoes sales alone ;).

Protagonist3717d ago (Edited 3717d ago )

I´m one of those who´s been hyping the series since 2009, and/but those JP numbers seem to correct. Truth is, the series has always been niche, but due to the PSP and the "free acces" to P3P, might be a part of the "new" gained popularity for the series, which again might be bigger, than sales actually show.

I´ve bought P1, P2, P3: FES, P3P retail and digital and also P4G. I have been keeping track with the sales for years, and I can tell you that the numbers seem to be correct.

I think P4G already passed the 1 million mark. Atlus just didn't as excited as other VG companies on announcing sales for their games.

4 is my favorite Persona so I’m hyped for a remake. I’ve played Golden a few times and the original a couple times so I’m ready for the remake

P4 Golden literally justified the VITA at the time (incredibly slick on that OLED display as well... huge memories for me). P4 on PS2 was awesome (I played it on my BC ps3 at the time) but Golden elevated it, again- that screen and the intimate feel of playing it on a handheld made it feel way less dated.... I love that game. That and Ys memories of Celceta, Killzone and some of the other incredible games made the VITA intensely memorable even if mostly due to the name (same fate as the Wii U) nobody knew what it was initially and it went by the wayside (idiots blame the cards but literally nobody but a few loud people on forums cared about the cards, mostly because they were hoping to pirate, one small cheap card held tons of games- it was never a problem)

Damn straight it did, I bought it on a whim when I was in a Gamestop one day and saw it on sale. I played the shit outta that game. Another one was Zero escape: Virtues Last Reward. If it was just for those 2 games, the console was worth it.
