I'm sure tearaway will do fine, relative to it's platform and budget.
I buy everything retail, if possible. I even imported a Japanese copy of Dokuro because it was completely in English. If there's a retail version, I'll buy it over digital every time.

Who the fuck buys Vita titles at retail? you might as well rely on NPD to give you iOS sales numbers, for all the good it will do.

I plan to get it when I buy a Vita, but I'm hesitant to buy it now because it might be a PS+ deal by the time I have Vita.
Such is the flaw with PS+, and Sony dropping prices so quick. I just got Ni No Kuni for $10 and it hasn't even been out a year.
does the 14k include psstore sales as well? Cause i think majority of vita users would download their games.
Is it the kind of game that could be brought to PS4?
Keep in mind 14k US retail only. 60% of Vita sales are digital. Also Vita is doing the worst in NA, it's merely doing kinda bad in EU and it's actually doing ok in JP.
It's probably over 100k WW which is still not good but I doubt anybody at Sony are committing sudoku over this. The Vita is reportedly profitable, after all. At least it's not a money loser like the Wii U.
Do you think it spites me? It does not. Instead, it makes you look like a child and you hurt only yourself. I have no investment in the sales - I do not own Sony stock and do not know anybody at Media Molecule - only enough care about my fellow gamers to try to convince them to experience it.
I find it amusing that you thought this was something worth posting though.
I am doing that also. Tearaway deserved so much better.
Not to be a troll, but does anyone think part of its low sales are partially due to the "I'll wait for it to be a PS + freebie?" mindframe? When it was announced the game had a pretty short completion time I saw a lot of people say something to that extent or at least wait on a price drop.
To be fair, your title says you're depressed about this. You seem emotionally invested in this game.
$90 for a 32GB memory card.
No. Never.
Vita needs like 10-15 first party games of this quality for me to be convinced to take the plunge. Proselytize all you want, I'd rather save that money on getting a PS4.
Amirox hyperbole
does it know no bounds
The gaming industry of 2013 in a nutshell:
Tearaway - 14,000
Super Mario 3D World - 215,000 (digital & physical combined)
Call of Duty: Ghosts (shoot guys with swearing pre-teens and they die and then you die and then they die some more and it's the same game you've played 4-5 times before with recycled cutscenes and now dogs in 720p) - 6.5 million

Surely the figure is far greater than 14k.Wasn't it made with a small team and a low budget?
Sure, the sales are poor - but I wonder what the target was to make a profit.
I do...Do people with Vita's actually buy games at retail?
I haven't bought a single retail game on it since I got one and I am normally pretty anti download.
That copy of LBP has been in it for around a year now
Should I feel bad that I played it for 10 minutes and got bored?
I asked for this for Christmas, kinda feel bad I didn't just buy it. They did release it around the same time as Zelda and Mario after all.

Maybe if it was on PS4 and they market it, then it wouldn't.

Pristine_Condition said:Not saying I won't check out Tearaway if I ever get a Vita, but Amirox's passionate opinions about games and gameplay would have more sway with me if he hadn't spent the last three years hating on Uncharted.
The game looks amazing.
I'm glad it's going to be profitable due to it being made by an eight person team.

How many people did it take to develop the game? Hopefully it ends up still be financially a net positive. Really good game, and I would like to see this imaginative approach pop up on the PS4. Much better game than LBP.
