To All Doubting Vita's Future, 4 Words: PORTABLE....CALL...OF.... DUTY

Most COD players like it because of the online aspect. A gimped version on Vita is not going to sell like the console version.CanYouDiglt

5 words: Bros don't care about protables.

COD sales have been dwindling. PC COD players only buy 1 COD game and then never again. The people with a console will have no need for a portable COD cause portables are hardly ever used for their portabilityness and activision will be too greedy to mingle the console version with the handheld version. You'll have to pay for mappacks and services and the game seperately on all platforms.

When I decide to pick up a Vita it sure won't be for a CoD title.

Also, WTF people don't you realise its just as likely the 3DS gets COD at the same time as the Vita, plus with the Circle Pad Pro the 3DS will have a second analog slider and TWO more shoulder buttons than a Vita, which will be almost identical to the 360/PS3 controller layout.

The Vita will actually be missing the grenade buttons (the 3DS would too, without the CPP)

Please, after one COD failed on the PSP and the DS got 3-4 criticially acclaimed but underselling COD games, you'd think people would've learned by now

Response 1: "But they can port the COD on PS3 to PSV making it superior to the 3DS version?" My Response: Sure, they can. But they make COD for the Wii every year and every year it gets good reviews (except this year) whenever Treyarch does the porting, and the 3DS can more than handled Wii ports. If COD is going portable, its likely to iOS/Android before 3DS/PSV, and even then it will come out on both. The DS was a profitable platform for COD, so why on earth would you expect them not to make COD for the 3DS when it can handle Wii ports and will have a 15-20 million user base advantage on the Vita by the time Black Ops 2 rolls around in Nov 2012?

[QUOTE="PraetorianMan"]I think their is a COD game coming out for 3DS too, but I'm going to bet on two things: 1. The online support for the 3DS version is going to be very poor. 2. There is going to be good connectivity features or other incentives to own the PSV CoD in addition to the PS3 CoD title that year. and this is possible: 3. PSV and PS3 users will be able to play on the same servers. If 3 becomes true than the PSV may move a TON of units. As much as I don't like CoD, it can move hardware. GreySeal9

I don't really get the connection you're making here.

But anybody that wants to engage in a enormous lone community could just as easily do it on PS3 or 360. Sure, the online community is ample reason for people that all ready own Vitas to buy the game, but with alternative ways to access said community, I'm not sure why you think it will move a TON of units.

Some might not buy the Vita just because it has COD. Of course, there are always some that jump at anything with Call of Duty written on it, so let's wait and see.

I, for one, am not buying the Vita solely for COD. When COD comes out, though, I might look into it.

First off, there is still the chance the 3DS will see a COD game at some point. Because the 3DS is roughly equal to the Wii in terms of power, the means a 3DS version will have custom classes, ranks, kill streaks, mupitle modes of play, and will be equal to the Wii versions in terms of features and gameplay. Now I'm sure some of you will laugh at that statement, but lets keep a few things in mind. Black Ops and MW3 were very close to the HD versions in terms of features, maps, perks, and gameplay modes. The 3DS version may not be on the level of the Vita version, but if it can deliver the core features then it will do well.

People seem to forget that the Wii versions of COD have sold well and have a very active community online.

But I don't think COD alone will help the Vita. It will boost sales, but people seem to forget that the 3DS has been doing well in all regions thanks to Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, and Monster Hunter. COD will help, but I'm not even sure it could stand up to a 3DS Pokemon game.

COD's sales have not been record breaking off the HD twins. Other platforms like the Wii, DS, and PC have posted decent sales, but much of COD' success has come for the HD twins, especially the Xbox 360.

I'm sure COD will do well on the Vita, but I think its far from being the killer app that everyone wants. Monster Hunter has done better on portables, Mario Kart can do well on either consoles or handhelds. COD can sell on other platforms, but the bulk of its record setting sales have been on the HD twins.

But anybody that wants to engage in a enormous lone community could just as easily do it on PS3 or 360.

But the entire fanbase all ready has a machine to play the annual COD on. I don't see the incentive for them to buy an expensive handheld just to play a handheld version.

What makes you think that it's not gonna be on 3DS too?

Why would people buy a new handheld system for CoD when they can get it for their already purchased 3DS?

Developers should feel really guilty and im sure they do knowing they made a **** casual game just to be a millionaire instead of creating games they would want to play.

fifa looks just as good as the ps3 version...check out some youtube videos if yall haven't already. also it runs at 60fps as well. mlb the show devs have said their vita version will look very similar to the ps3 version as well, but more importantly, it will have all the same features. games like fifa, cod, madden, etc thses types of games will always keep the vita selling. as much as some might question why someone would want to play a slightly infurior mobile version when they have the console version, well i'll just use myslef as an example. i have never been a mobile gamer, i had a gameboy back in the days but never got a ds or psp. lately i've been playing madden 01 on my smartphone whenever i'm out and about. i am for sure going to get a vita to keep in the trunk of my car, to be able to play it when need be. i can't take my ps3 with me everywhere i go, but i can with the vita. sony has a store hey rented out for the next 3months here in san francisco where you can try the vita. i already love the thing and can't wait to play some games on that beautiful oled screen :o. the fact that wifi is almost everywhere now makes the system even more attractive as a portable ps3 online gaming device, imo.

The only way Call of Duty would sell a handheld is if the next installment of Call of Duty was ONLY for handhelds. But that is still doubtful. People enjoy geting their Call of Duty fix on a yearly basis, and if CoD Vita is a spinoff, or just the next CoD but also available on Vita, it will do nothing for Vita. It will only do SOMETHING (if anything) for the Vita if it is a Vita exclusive, or handheld excllusive. Otherwise, I highly doubt Call of Duty will make the Vita sell.

PSP got CoD 'spin offs' and DS had CoD games but were also available on 360, PC, PS3, and Wii, it did nothing for them.

"but call of duty sucks!".... Yeah perhaps it does perhaps it doesnt. It doesnt really matter cus call of duty moves sales. For those of you that missed the peice of news, vita has a call of duty game coming for it as we speak, one that will be a true shooter on the go with the online multiplayer to boot. U dont care? Well millions of call of duty fanboys and 13 year olds will. Keep in mind 3ds improved in japan, but its main boost was when it got monster hunter. Call of duty is the monster hunter of the west, and tho i love my 3ds, 3ds can not offer a real portable call of duty experience Whether u hate or love call of duty, know this. When Call of Duty Vita comes around, watch vita fly off shelves And ps, ps vita has SO many games being made for it right now, practically every third party besides like valve, bioware, and bethesda are putting men on vita projects as we speak. Believe me, if for some bazaar reason uncharted cant catch ur eye, something is surely coming soon that will

Call of Duty 4 already runs on my AcerIconia W500 tablet PC.

Recent Acer Iconia W500 has a faster AMD C-60 APU i.e. 276Mhz GPU to 400 Mhz GPU.
