Hopefully it does well, and then I'll pick it up it up in a year or so once the library builds up.

Those don't even include digital download sales!! It makes sense that Vita is doing better in the West, the games are aimed at our market.

If fifa wasn't the top in the UK, something would have been terribly wrong.

Yah, the PS Vita pretty much went head-to-head with zero new high-profile releases.

Well, this is the first set of concrete results (despite the lack of numbers) we've got from the Vita's launch, and they look good so far.

i highly doubt just because their is a drought of games that people would go out and buy a 250-300 dollar handheld just to play fifa. so that has nothing to do with it.

To claim that they are top of the charts suggests they have outsold everything else. The point was that they didnt have to try hard, as no high profile games were released in the week.

So while what you say is true, its not as impressive as if other big titles were launched at the same time.

Where did I say that people bought a PS Vita due to a game drought?

come on man, you don´t need to generalize :?.

Some people do, others don´t.

Some like to talk about sales in general without crap behind it, others don´t.

Besides I haven´t seen (as for now) no fanboyish sales related post in this thread

I wasn't just talking about this thread, but in general. Everyone on SW does it. But why people feel the need to come into a sales thread (and its often the same people) and over and over again reply and each time say they don't care about sales is beyond me, but then throw a little a party when its good news and sales matter. Not saying its everyone obviously, but you know it happens time and time again.

I looked in the PSN store and I personally would never pay that much for a handheld game. Guess there are a lot of people that are willing to or maybe the price is lower in the UK ?

Who do you see celebrating in this thread?. Of course sales matter at this point in Vita's life, it it's launch is anything like Japan's I doubt it's going to get any serious 3rd party support in the coming years.

According to Edge only 18% of those who bought a Vita in the UK bought FIFA with it. Sounds like a very slow week.

unless they magically have information regarding digital sales "which the game is cheaper if you go that route" then we can't really say if its a slow start or not

But the money saved from downloading games on PSN and more will have to go to memory cards anyway. If I were buying a Vita I'd settle with a 4GB card and physical copies of games.

All things point to a slow week. If the Vita did well and sold 100k units, that still would only be 18k physical copies of FIFA.

hm, didn't see this coming, honestly. Its good news I guess. I wonder when we'll see some actual numbers, I'm pretty curious if this does any better than it did in Japan.

There's nothing new that really came out last week, PLUS any game that did come out would have been released on the Friday whereas the Vita was released on the Wednesday, so yeah, we shall see.

But over time that $5 savings will add up especially as memory cards get cheaper. I use memory cards for music and video so I wanted a big one even if I don't buy games digitally. I was going to get ninja gaiden that way but sony support didn't know it was on psn already when I called them before buying vita. I didn't want to get home to find out ninja gaiden wasn't on psn.

26k for Uncharted and 16k for FIFA. Dayum, I thought NA was slow nowadays but it seems video games are doomed in Britain :lol:
