Retro City Rampage is the top selling PSN game on the PlayStation Vita in the United States (at least in terms of downloads from the Store) but it’s still nowhere to be seen in Europe, the silence somewhat deafening on that one.
The news comes via a duo of sales charts, the first one from SCEA, and the second from SCEE.
Over the pond, the Vita chart might be topped by that glorious slice of 8-bit nostalgia, but otherwise it’s pretty much business as usual, with Assassin’s Creed Liberation in second place, followed by LittleBigPlanet PS Vita in third. Ragnarok Odyssey and New Little King’s Story make up the next couple, with Plants vs. Zombies in fifth.
Here, it’s similar, apart from the game at the top, of course. Liberation is in first place, LBP second, MotorStorm is in third place with Doctor Who and NFS Most Wanted making up the rest.
Quite why Retro City Rampage still isn’t out here is anyone’s guess. “Once we have word from the devs that we can share we’ll be sure to let you know,” said SCEE’s Jawad Ashraf yesterday. “I’m not able to provide details,” he added.

*sighs and goes through a folder of SCEE rants to use* Ah this one should fit. *ahem*
SCEE, if you were a shop on the high street, you would have closed down years ago as delaying content for “localisation and QA” reasons is just poor seeing as you delayed Trine 2 due to QA issues despite the actual developer telling everyone that the US and the EU versions are the same. You also delayed TWD without any explaination and dare i mention CS:GO?
Not to mention the poor communication between you and publishers. Such as Castlevania being annouced for the store by Konami only for you to tell us it’s not going to be thus increasing the 5 freaking year delay. I’ve seen entire new Ips get developed and have a sequel in the same amount of time. With the delay of Retro City Rampage, you have just proven once again you are incompetent and/or don’t understand what communication is.
If they keep it up with the PS4, i can see people abandoning Sony as putting up with SCEE for 2 consoles may be the breaking point for some gamers. The rest of this rant is delayed due to QA issues(Read:Somebody stole my cup of tea).

Well I could rant for hours over this but nothing ever seems to change. TSA should do an article on it with Sony and some developers to see why they can’t at least manage what Microsoft do.
Ironically the only thing that makes it ok is that I have loads of PSN games I need to get through to keep me busy.
