Assassin's Creed III: Liberation sales nearing 600,000

Shame about the lack of multiplayer but this looks like a good game at least!

Good, it was one of the key franchise to attrack developers, too bad call of duty didn't work, I hope kill zone will be the first awesome fps for the vita and that sony releases a god fo war game

Good to hear.  I got the bundle for Christmas but the vita was broken and gamestop was out when I took it back so they just gave me a vita and game separately.  It is not as good as the main games but very impressive for a vita title and I am glad I have it.  

And still full of bugs... Thanks Ubisoft.

Great News ! It is a decent game and I hope it will attract other developers to this great little system.

Glad to hear the vita is getting some sales.

I love my Vita, and not enough people give the system the credit it deserves. It's a fantastic little system, its just too bad Sony seem to do nothing to help it. 

People come on this site and rag on the Vita all day. The handheld is fantastic on so many levels and there are many underrated games and ports that would never had been playable on a portable system before. This just shows that gamers who have a Vita have money. Mature gaming handheld can do well and games like this Sly, LBP, Gravity Rush and Uncharted can sell well on this platform as long as people know that they are their and review sites admit that the handheld does have quality games and not try and hurt the system with biases unnecessarily and hold the system to unreasonable standards. 

And had it been on a console to be played in HD and not some tiny little screen, like games should be, the sales would be double that.

im very dissapointed in my vita, however ill admit along with uncharted this is a great game on the move, or when your sat on that plane for hours, a very nice time waster. Though hurry up sony with some more please......

So anyway, there HAS to be SOME games worth playing on the Vita...*turns to the other games on this console...*

That's excellent for any game in general, but especially for the Vita. 

If those 600,000 sales were of the White PSvita then that is pretty good. Even though I have I vita already. I strongly considered this bundle. Just the get the Crystal Ice PSvita. Still 600,000 is a good number for a PSvita game. In only a short time. since the end of October.

Great! Vita is an excellent console and needs successes like that. I hope they launch another AC this year.

games devoid of proper story are not fun at all 

i don't see any reason to own AC liberation besides to kill a bunch of hours 

That must be everyone who owns a Vita in America.

Nice to see the Vita is a commercially viable platform, even at such low sales numbers.

Good game, not a masterpiece but a solid and fun experience, and very impressive from a handheld-technical standpoint

I've played through the bulk of this game and I really don't understand why it's elicited such a "meh" from gamers, especially compared to ACIII. The fact that you can play a real Assassin's Creed game on a portable system (and not a watered-down bore like AC: Bloodlines) is pretty incredible, and the game is distinctive and fun. I actually wish some of the ideas from it (such as the personas,which have some potential!) had made their way into ACIII. Also, ACIII: Liberation isn't nearly as dull in the initial hours since it gets you through the tutorial missions rather quickly. And, I see the lack of a Desmond-type character a major plus since that means no awful platforming sequences or ridiculous framing devices.

My only major gripes with the game are the lack of true multiplayer and the iffy integration of touch controls that make some actions (like picking pockets) way harder than they need to be. Otherwise, I think it's one of the Vita's better titles. 

Good for them. It is indeed nice to see some positive Vita news instead of the usual crap that ends up on here. Funny thing is, the PSP kind of went through the same growing pains but it eventually took off. I think the Vita is truly a very good system. It just needs some more good games and a price drop to really get it rolling. It would be nice to see some more developers take a chance on the system which in turn would push sales. Also, I think Sony needs to push more of their own franchises onto the Vita. For example, how about a new Jak game, a new Ratchet and Clank, God of War, Syphon Filter, Twisted Metal, or even a sequel to Uncharted. The potential is there they just have to take advantage of it.

Kinda sad to see a Vita game like this selling so well when Vita games that actually are great don't sell nearly as well. I have my doubts LBP sold as well as this. I really didn't like Liberation. It was a big disappointment. Still, the fact it sold well might at least give other publishers incentive to make big games for Vita, so that's a plus.

Iimpressive...

about time vita got some love, all it needs is price cut it and in memory cards. of course more games

that's great for a console that sold 3Million only... it's probably shipped not sold though...

I only have it because I bought the bundle, but havn't gotten to it yet. Still nice to see any game selling well on the Vita.

I'm getting the Black COD Vita Bundle not a huge COD fan but I do like Black Ops and I already have Liberation since it's much cheaper to buy separate than COD. Also the Persona 4 skin looks a hell of a lot better on a Vita. 

I got AC bundled with my Vita - Haven't really played it though given all the content through Playstation Plus and the fact I have been glued to Persona 4: Golden

Glad to hear this for the sake of the Vita and the hopes that it means it will get some more attention from third party developers. That said, AC: Liberation is still a rather mediocre game.

If you don't know if it refers to shiped or sold games and don't know if the Vita Bundle is included, why write this?

that white vita looks sick, can't decide between white or blue

Decent game, horrible frame rate and jaggies. The Screenshots were misleading

I'm glad it sold decently,i bought my vita when the bundle got released i finished the game and enjoyed it.Only thing i hope they didn't add to the vita version was the multiplayer it was a waste of time.

Liberation was a good game. It just needed a better multiplayer like the consoles. The action is solid though and the game is impressive from a technical standpoint.

Ya that's not half-bad for the VIta, with only 4mil install base. That means it reach almost a quarter of every Vita owner. AAA console games that have install bases of 70mil aim for at least a million. So to have the Vita with 600K, very encouraging!

Almost the same as Resident Evil: Revelations (3DS), which released way earlier to a install base that's at least 3 times bigger than the Vita's.

No wonder many major publishers are bringing former Nintendo exclusives over (like Ninja Gaiden Razor's Edge and Rayman Legends, as well as RE: Revelation).
