Sony's PS Vita is about to fail 3DS was F.O.A

Too bad phones don't have any buttons.

what F.O.A?

The Android market is a bit overrated, tbh. Gaming on Android smartphones is still quite a bit behind the streamlined experience on iPhones. Big games on iPhone, like FF Tactics, Shantae, Scribblenauts, Ace Attorney, Infinity Blade, Chaos Rings, etc. are also easier to identify and get more attention. On top of that, App Store games often get the best deals.

I would actually take PSN/XBL over the Android market, not the App Store though.

One of the many features, that will lead to the gaming consoles demises, is the great feature of the touch UI that phones have, over handelds. Most people prefer the touch UI, over Sony's buttons.Method214

why would someone want to play a 3d animated world with a touch when they could be using sticks and buttons.

Well, at least it's a change from "LOL 3DS SUCKS NINTENDO HATE" topics.

Here we go, smart phones can do alot of things, but providing a compelling gaming experience is not one of them, even a portable experience

Yeah right, when the best you have is angry birds the competition has nothing to worry about.

[QUOTE="Method214"] The upcoming smartphones for 2012, will already be more powerful than consoles,

They're not more powerful than current gen consoles

and heck the google nexus prime is already capable of native 720p, somethings consoles cant do.

It can display at 720p, yes, but it can't play mordern games at that resolution. Just like PS3/360 can display at 1080p, but can't play all games at 1080p

The app store for iphone and the android marketplace is already miles ahead of PSN and XBL, aswell has having better DD games, lower costs, for better games, whos going to be buying a console, when the next gen nvidia kal el quad core smart phones hit the market early next year?

Better games is subjective (I'm guessing pretty much everyone here would agree that that's absolutely wrong though), and IMO the appstores don't have nearly as many quality games

(4) cores, over 1gb of ram, and a better geforce graphics card/ALU. Sony better step it up and start with their next gen phone, it was a bad move on their part to try and compete in the hand held space with just a gaming console, if they want to have any chance of being a company in the near future, they better focus more on a next gen phone, that can play sony games downloaded from their app store via DD for cheaper prices.

The gpu in phones aren't as powerful as the ones in consoles (likewise with the cpus). Sony has already released a 'next gen' phone (xperia play). And they are trying to make a robust store in the DD market for the vita.

I mean, some people will be buying games like uncharted for $40......but most will be buying better games like Infinity Blade 2 for $5 Bad move again Sony, it's like they're purposely sabotaging themselves.

Again, bad/good, that's subjective (I'm guessing pretty much everyone here would agree that that's absolutely wrong though), but a major thing phones are missing, aside from worse graphics, is buttons. It seems like you just got it out for handhelds.

you can't be serious

Yeah right, when the best you have is angry birds the competition has nothing to worry about.

I had to laugh with phone ppl complaining about having to go through tons of shovelware to find good games.

Sure some ppl like phone gaming but without controls and longer games I'm not intrested

Gaming on a phone? Hahaha, no....

...smartphones :lol:

I just laughed, am still laughing and will laugh some more. I will come back to tell TC when I have stopped laughing.

Who in their right mind will pick an on-rails game over Uncharted?

You need to read the original post. Infinity blade is an on rails game.

Play what you want, but i will stick with my consoles and handhelds with actual controllers instead of fumbling around, smearing my fingers all over the phone screen just trying to pull off a simple move. Touch controls might have some cool limited uses in Vita games, with capacitive front and back touch controls, but they will be well supported by standard button and analog controls too, which is why Vita WINS.

Play your little touch screen games all you like but I prefer deeper, more traditional handheld games thanks anyways.

Dude have you seen the games on the App Store? Not even the Wii can compete with that much shovelware, and I don't care if it costs .99 cents, it's still crap! (can you use that word or do I have to censor it??Please don't ban me!!)

I don't need a quad core phone to play angrybirds.

I do need a platform to play jrpgs and action adventure games... especially with buttons.

If there's something that Sony has already proven by shooting themselves in the foot before is that high graphical power =/= good sales, if Vita's games are good the console will sell.

face it, some people just enjoy gaming on a dedicated "gaming" system. I personally don't want to game on a phone. By the way, phones are nowhere near as powerful as consoles or PCs.

a BIG LOL bro, the only game i could play on my Evo 4g that i actually like is imobsters and its so simple, i tried many gameloft games and they sucked just because of the ui controlls, if i could actually play them with buttons it would be a different story.

F.O.A?

Ahahahahahaha, no. I love my iPod Touch, and Game Dev Story is one of the greatest handheld games I have ever played, but no, just no. A touch only interface is too limited to support a full fledged complex game.charizard1605

And they released it all for $5. That's crazy! Meanwhile Nintendo asks the same price for Gameboy ports. There is something seriously wrong with one of these two pricing models -- either handheld's, or iOS's, but I find myself liking iOS's a whole lot more. Physical buttons just are not worth the kind of premium being charged on some of these games.

Kairosoft makes great games for mobile. Apart ftom them, there isn't many games that i find overly great on mobile.

oh I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you talking about how cool smart phones are over The Legend of Zelda.

Doesn't matter consoles are entertainment devices, I will be sticking with my console and my control not with these mobile phones.
