Sounds like it's not as much of a game as the RPG. More like an idol sim or something? Could be a portable companion for the main series.

Compile Heart gonna Compile Heart.

Dont look to be a bad game list, but they lack exclusive jrpgs for me... Sony make me some Wild Arms, Arc the Lad, Legend of Legaia or Legendo of Dragoon for Vita everyone will buy this device with a smile in the face. Or put some money in the hands of Atlus and we can have our Persona 5 exclusive for Vita !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knowing the sales of many of those franchises in Japan, you're greatly over stating their ability to sell platforms.

Soul Sacrifice releases this week right?

March 7th. Surprised Sony didn't put more 0s on the check for the game they are banking Vita's future on.

Famitsu isn't want they used to be. Every major or hype game seems to get a good to great score from them.

They've always been like that.

No, they haven't. The chart shows how many games have received a Platinum (35+) score over the years. http://geimin.net/da/db/cross_review/index.php

Things are certainly different now, even if the difference is simply a good score becoming cheaper and cheaper as time went by. =P

If Tales of Hearts R and Soul Sacrifice can't save the Vita in Japan, then I don't know what can.

I think the Vita will get at least a 7k boost when they come out.
I hope it's a 20k+ increase though!

Are they kidding ?!

I recuse to believe that a remake of a not to good rpg from ds era have better score than Soul Sacrifice with awesome art style...

Hearts was the good one on DS, you might be thinking Tempest or Innocence.

I need my Diva F now

Can't really argue with this. The game just fwlt soulless to me. I mean, it has all the makings of a great game , but it felt like the glue to hold it all together was applied wrong. If that makes any sense.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

Let's say the truth: nothing can save Vita. Nintendo give the deathblow to Vita with Monster Hunter and the new Pokemon XY.
Maybe he sells of Wild Arms are low, but they costs to make a new game are low to. Plus the game isnt made by a first party studio, but from MediaVision a third party.

Anyway, if a new Wild Arms sells 300.000 copies Sony can make some profit i think.

The only thing that i dont understand is how a Million seller like Ar the Lad died in Nippon...

A new Wild Arms wouldn't sell 300k in Japan, especially on Vita. RPGs aren't cheap to make either. If they were we'd see a lot more of them.

The last Arc The Lad game was terrible and barely sold anything. The previous game sold around 130,000 copies over there (as per Media Create). It died because people lost interest after the PS1 generation, I guess, and the games just weren't very good.

That's awesome for Soul Sacrifice! Revive the vita!
