@fluky-nintendy - Well Nintendo's next handheld will likely have graphics superior to Vita. Nintendo is great as making certain types of games that Sony isn't very good at and vice versa.

@GdaTyler - Uncharted is a more visually polished game than Killzone: Mercenary. But both look great for Vita's limited hardware.

I just finished this game recently, not as good I hoped. The story solid and gameplay feels like a PS3 Uncharted game, but the touchscreen features were poor and the missions became tedious. I'd only recommend this to people that need an excuse to play more Uncharted.

4.1 M Vitas sold, ~ 1 M Uncharted games sold (assuming download sales), so about a 25 %
adoption rate. That's probably among the higher adoption rates for this excellent game. So the only way to sell more is to drop the price of the Vita. Take the financial hit to sell the units. Oh, and add a way for the vita to download and play Android games from Google Play. What is Sony doing with the Ratchet and Clank game? Might want to dehire the senior decision maker(s) for the Vita, and get some folks more in touch with the North American, European, and Japanese Gamers' wants. The Vita is lovely, capable hardware that can run, for example, a *good* Call of Duty game. Why was it not made?

It would make no sense to count PS+ downloads because those arent buys, they are rentals. When you stop paying the sub or the service comes down, you lose acess to the game. So, it makes sense not to count those here.

Prior to being put on PS+, this game was tracking at ~10k sales a week. After it got put on plus, it was averaging around ~7k sales a week. Over the holidays it rose back up to ~20k a week and last week it did ~30k. Shouldn't be too long before it reaches a million. I wouldn't imagine it'll go too far past that mark, though.

This game should have hit the 1m mark months ago.....there's nothing like this on the 3DS or on smartphones. Games like this are what makes Vita unique, the game should have been promoted more and should have been bundled. Maybe they'll bundle it as promo for the next Uncharted Vita? Would be great if every single Vita owner got to play this game, I would bet most would like it.

It would have to sell more than 2.8 million to be the best-selling game this studio has ever made, italo. If you counted Sony Bend as separate from Eidetic since they changed their name (but they're exactly the same studio), then it's easily going to beat Resistance: Retribution's 800k, yes :P

Well it's not so much that the uncharted series is huge over there, like if you look at the 3 games on the ps3 this has sold close enough to their numbers when the ps3 has almost 30x the amount of hardware out there, it's just a case of of the games available on the psvita atm this is the crown jewel of games to have.

At JacOb: Be a a little bit realistic. This game wont sell anywhere near 6 millions.
Right now the userbase of the vita is very small. But when the vita sells more than this game sell also more. I think with Christmas boost and blck friday this game has ahigh chance of selling 1-1.5 M by end of the year ( depends how well the vita sell and by how much this game is bundled) Lifetime this game has a chance of selling 2-3 millions.
But if they make a Golden Abyss 2 ( which will happen, i have no doubt about it) than this sequel should do much better. Maybe 4-5 Millions.

Take your fanboyism somewhere else. U3 wasn't bundled any more than Gears 3 was.
Any U3 bundles you find out there are left overs from the holiday shipments. They're going for $355 on Amazon through other retailers. Why? They were limited and aren't getting any more.
Message | Report
tontus posted 09/03/2012, 04:08
Oh come on dsage01, U3 was bundled an insane amount and was being sold at near enough bargain bin prices a couple of weeks after launch, it's still being bundled now ffs, without all the bundling do you really think it would have sold near to 3.3m in 10 weeks? No way, more like 2-2.5m. And it still isn't a huge seller compared to games like Gears 3, Skyrim (360), BF3 (360) etc., which didn't need mass bundling to be huge 5m+ sellers. And being more front-loaded at £40/$60 is better than having long legs at £20/$40 or less like the Uncharted games. Golden Abyss will sell 1m+ at retail by the end of 2012, but don't forget to consider digital distribution.

@fluky-nintendy - Well Nintendo's next handheld will likely have graphics superior to Vita. Nintendo is great as making certain types of games that Sony isn't very good at and vice versa.

@GdaTyler - Uncharted is a more visually polished game than Killzone: Mercenary. But both look great for Vita's limited hardware.

I just finished this game recently, not as good I hoped. The story solid and gameplay feels like a PS3 Uncharted game, but the touchscreen features were poor and the missions became tedious. I'd only recommend this to people that need an excuse to play more Uncharted.
