IGN "PSVita destined to outsell the 3DS."

I think the Vita line up is coming around quite nicely.... Some of these no name games look really interesting, like Escape Plan, and sound shapes. They all make good use of the Vita controls. I think what sets the Vita and 3DS apart is simply the controls.... there is just more on the Vita, and that rear touchpad will allow devs to make unique games with good variety of controls. And it has the 2nd analog which should make it easier if a dev wants to make a console type port to the system. I'm personally rooting for the Vita :D

I think all handheld systems are in trouble as more poeple just want a phone and wallet in there pocket.

i don't get the people who are like "yea right vita has no chance" it's not the 3ds is actually selling well. last time i checked they had to lower the price. and to find the 3ds appealing, you must be a huge nintendo fan.

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"] Sure that's why UC2 got a 10, KZ3 is AAA, LBP is AAAA, Demon's Souls won GOTY and MGS4 got an 11. Oh wait? :?StrongDeadlift

More than one person writes every review there. Some kid reviewed kilzone 3, UC2 got a 9.5 ... And Chris Roper reviewed it who was a good journalist but he doesn't work there anymore.. LBP was AAA, Demon Souls got a 9.4, and MGS4 got a 10... Greg, and Colin are HUGE playstation fanboys... I have no issue with them saying the PSvita will succeed because I think it will as well.. But coming up with some biased, pseudo-intellectual nonsense that is based off of false assumptions is where they go wrong...

I can give a reason why the PSVita will succeed... ITS CALLED JAPAN... They will LOOSE THEIR **** when this comes out...Thats all they needed to say really, Like I don't understand where all this smart phone, 3DS sucks nonsense is coming from or how his ridiculous opinions are relevant to anything.. Like he says Nintendo's tired old series shouldn't worry Sony... Or really? Fine you can feel however you want about Nintendo's main running series but to deny that they are sales GIANTS is just being blind. Mario Kart Wii and New Super Mario Bros. both sold like 25+ million copies.. These articles they right are just so fanboyish it just drives me nuts.. They twist their opinions and basically talk down on the reader like we don't know what we are talking about and if we think differently we are wrong. Just the gall they have is unbelievable.

Their assumptions are not "false" they are every bit as sound as yours. They read the same internet WE do, they go to the same E3's WE do (or at least watch on the internet), they play the same console WE do. You know, since this is his JOB/living and everything.....that and the fact that hes had hands on experience with BOTH platforms.

But of course, because his perfectly sound opinion differs from your own, he must be "wrong", or "just doesnt understand" when chances are, they are more knowlegable on the subject than YOU are :roll:

Saying the 3DS isn't going to do well because the general public is tired of their franchises when Mario Kart Wii and New Super Mario Bros. just sold over 25 million copies each, the fact that Pokemon Black and White was a massive success, the fact that basically every other first party Nintendo game does very well sales wise is a false statement. Sorry. I understand he can have his own opinion but this is just blatant fanboyism. I don't care that he got to play the vita for 20 minutes at a show and I didn't.. He hasn't gotten the complete experience and he doesn't seem to know anything about how the public feels about Nintendo either. Just states how he feels which in the scope of things doesn't matter.. Maybe if the world was full of 7 billion people that thought exactly like him this would all be true but how he feels does not reflect how the public feels about Nitnendo nor does it mean that it is going to be a failure.

I have two silly questions to ask,maybe I'm the only one who does not know the answers to this,but when is the PSVita coming out,and if it is coming out soon,how come GS does not have an opition to click on to view new games and add ons.Just asking,sorry if the questions are dumb to some people.Thank You inadvance for your reply.

Ahh no its not a dumb question, it comes out next year february 22nd so it is not too far off and generally GS doesn't put those bars for the system until or right before they release, but if you want to talk with other people about the vita etc. I think they discuss it a lot in the psp forum section... They never made a fully 3DS channel either they just combined it with the DS, so you could look there for now if you want.

while I love my PSP and the Vita looks like it'll be even better, I doubt it'll outsell the 3DS. I think the Vita will be preferred in the gaming community, but the 3DS has a lot to offer as well as a much lower price. If the Wii has shown us anything it's lower price == more sales.

3ds has resident evil and monster hunter and can be brought for £120 brand new. Vita is going to be £230 according to Sony though i think it will be more by the time it comes to release

theirs 2 games vs............, price is better, games are better. thats all that matters.

I would laugh my ass off if the PSV outsold the 3DS.

I saw that. I loled a lot. :lol: $170 (3DS) is bound to sell more with no games than $250 (Vita) with more social features and no games.

bbkkristian

My prediction is Vita is going to fail.

Sure unless they keep porting games to the Vita from the 360 and Ps3 and not having more original titles and being in the same price point as the Ps3 and requires a Memory card that makes it more expensive then all of the other consoles in the market for digital download.

My prediction is Vita is going to fail.

Who knows? Well I'm sure IGN doesn't.

If Mario, Zelda, and the rest of the Nintendo family guarantee 3DS will win, then why didn't Gamecube or N64 automatically win 1st place in their respective gens?nervmeister

Because it didn't have a dvd player to watch movies.

Who cares? All that matters is the games being released for each system.

I can really disagree with that......it is clear that the PSVita it will outsell the 3DS.

* Front and back multitouch screens, motion sensors and Six Axis sensors

I'm trying to imagine someone using motion controls on a crowded train. I really don't see it working very well.
And in any case, the PSP had great tech too. It didn't help.

* multitouch 5-inch OLED display

That's...nice?

* Feel the full-on intensity of First Person Shooters with Dual Analog Sticks

I know that FPS games are all the rage now, but I'm still not convinced that they're well-suited to portable play.

* Blur the lines between entertainment and reality with breakthrough features such as front and back touch, motion sensors and augmented reality.

You already mentioned these. And the 3DS already did the whole 'augmented reality' thing.

* and the most important is that it have some very good games on start.....the 3DS it was have no game on start and even today the best that it have is just N64 remakes.

The 3DS still sold better than the DS at launch, despite having very few games. By the time the Vita hits the States, the 3DS will at least have a comparable lineup, and at any rate the 3DS will have many of the best-selling portable franchises of all time on it.

AtariKidX

None those points are even remotely conclusive.

Anyway, it could potentially outsell the 3DS, but I doubt it. The Vita is already a year behind with a higher price point and less top-selling handheld franchises.
Once Nintendo starts churning out 3DS-specific Pokemon games, the new Mario Kart game, Zeldas, Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter...and so on, well, it won't exactly flop in sales.

Psv has more titles announced that I'm intrested in than 3ds does after mons of being out, sooner or later N could loose a portable gen.

Playstation Vita has 2 analogs, better online system, and better games. Nuff said.Ikouze

3DS' "price point" advantage doesn't count for much since they only bumped it down because they were failing horribly.

Infinite_Access

Vita will be Sonys Dreamcast.Their only big game has become a 3DS exclusive now:Monster Hunter 4.Its almost like Microsoft losing Halo to Nintendo.If you have a PS3 or 360 you will feel cheated and robbed by Sony if you buy a Vita,as the games feel like watered-down ports of old(F.F. X) and dated consoles games.

Uncharted Golden Abyss is NOT made by Naughty Dog so we can declare it a flop already.If you are so eager to play Golden Abyss then you just need to wait a little bit,as Sony will try to compensate the deadly failure of the Vita by publishing Vita games on the PS3 very soon.Just wait a year or 2 after Vitas launch and you will be able to visit the graveyard where Vita will be buried.

3DS will have Mario 3DS Land,Mario Kart7,Zelda Ocarina,Paper Mario,Monster Hunter 4,Kid Icarus,Resident Evil,Smash Bros 3DS,Luigis Mansion 2,Advance Wars,Fire Emblem,Pokemon as part of its heavenly librarary(contains all genres top games:plattformers,rpgs,racer,strategy,action,adventure,fighters).If you have any self-respect as a gamer you are going to stay away from the Vita.It will have Littlebigplanet on it, the most childish game on a Sony plattform ever(Sackboy sounds like a sissy sexual innuendo) so it will be embarrasing and uncool if someone sees you playing a game made for infants and little girly girls,who love the colour pink and teletubbies.

Plus most people who are interested in the Vita are people who get easily deceived by advertisement and also think cheap mobile games are better than games offered on Sony and Microsofts consoles.Vita will be sooooo successful it will make Dreamcast look like a bigger succes than the PS2.

Sony has a much narrow market they're going after where as Nintendo has a broader market.

I don't know why anyone would think Vita would outsell the 3DS when they're both going after different markets, one that's smaller and narrow and one that's larger and wider. None of the things you mentioned matter much to the average person.Haziqonfire

Exactly. And that is why Nintendo will win. Again. Casuals always outweigh the hardcores. Always.

"The 3DS won't take the Vita out with n64 ports and Nintendos worn out series"

Yeah its going to take it out with fantastic software, and cheaper hardware, and a broader appeal thats what..

My god can they freaking fire Colin, I seriously hate that guy. I don't normally complain about journalists but this guy is the biggest fanboy I've ever seen.. he was a good guides writter but his opinions are horrible.

VendettaRed07

cheaper hardware??? its 250 dollars vs 3DS 170 dollars USD. lol.

**** both of them i'm getting a droid razr ****
