Both port games from console though so I don't see them as any different in that regard. The difference is more in the types of console games they port. Sony does more shooters. While nintendo does more platformers. Which are probably more suited for portable but not in my interest. I want console games on the move because I play games more than just at home and I only play shooters, hack n slash and racing which are sony's strengths My vita games Assassins Creed Liberation Cod Declassified Need for speed Ninja gaiden 1-2 Resistance Burning skies Unit 13 Uncharted golden abyss( I will get when it gets a little cheaper) Upcoming I will get God of war collection Killzone Mercenary The walking dead 3ds games I would want Need for speed Resident evil revelations Splinter cell chose theory spider man the edge of time I don't see any upcoming games I would want. As you can tell 3ds is not better for everyone and vita has way more games for me.p4s2p0

So 3DS games don't interest you, that's understandable. But I hope you can see that ports like The Walking Dead, God of War, Need for Speed and Ninja Gaiden and absolute trash like Resistance Burning Skies and COD Declassified don't push anyone to buying a Vita...

The only interesting games I see are Killzone Mercenary, Assassin's Creed and Uncharted. And that's simply not enough to drop all that money on a Vita.

Oh and Gravity Rush, that looks really fun as well.

[QUOTE="rjdofu"]

[QUOTE="blackace"] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Say it isn't so Sony!! PSVita sales are through the roof. (sarcasm at it's finest). Seriously though. I want the PSVita to succeed because it's a decent handheld. I've seen and played it, and I want one. We need a lower price on the hardware and memory cards, and a lot more quality exclusive games. Right now it's heading in the same direction as the Wii U.blackace

The Wii U, at least we know it will do well once other big titles hit the market next year. Can't say the same for the Vita, when there's no system seller in sight. Not to mention Sony's attitude towards the system is stink.

Well, a lot of the BIG Wii U titles are coming out this fall and winter. New Super Luigi U - 8/25 Zelda: The Wind Waker - 12/31 Rayman Legends - 9/3 Scibblenauts: Unmasked - 9/24 The Wonderful 101 - 9/15 DKC: Tropical Freeze - TBA Super Mario 3D World - TBA How well the system sells after these are launched will be critical.

None of those will move system though.

Hardware will only take you so far, the Vita is proof of this.

at least they're admitting it, not like Nintendo and their "please understand"silversix_
Sony is not known for admitting things and instead they usually circle around it.

i think 4 shoulder buttons is what i should have said...

anyway...with the games they got coming and the 199 price along with the new features i mentioned might make it take off.

But in doing so, they would leave every current Vita owner in the dust. Severing your userbase in half like that would just end up making matters worse.

nothing i mentioned changes any gameplay at all..

lcd screen is same as oled. just less sharp..

clickable analogs can be mapped...extra shoulder buttons can be mapped. sd card doesnt change anything either.

i mean... some ps4 games will be remote played with a vita...its just a matter of mapping the buttons.

I suppose, but if they can be mapped, then I see no need to do such a radical hardware revision. The Vita and its memory cards need a price drop as well as more compelling software. A hardware revision should be the last thing on Sony's mind.

He forgot Mario Kart...That WILL move system and then some! Mario kart Wii this gen: 30 million sold and counting. If Nintendo does a bundle, I'm looking at Nintendo making a killing this Christmas due to XBone pricing themsleves out of the competition and PS4 running out of stock, especially if the Wii U gets a $50 price drop.

I'll put it to you this way: Lifetime Vita sales: ~5 million units worldwide Lifetime 3DS sales: 33 million units worldwide I'd say the 3DS is doing a teensy bit better.

Ya the only possible system sellers out of those would have been cod(if made by a good dev) )and god of war(original like the 2 on psp). Otherwise socom and gran turismo could be if vita can make it long enough for sony to make them. 3rd party wise we need psp's highest seller gta.

Its all about the games people. Hardware is a great start, but its not even 40% of the main picture. People have phones, Ipads and all that other shit to watch movies, tv and internet on, so the Vita isn't worth it. Esp. When it doesn't have any games compared to the 3DS. The thing is pumping out gold every month at a decent price.

They've been bundling Playstation 2 and 3 sales numbers for a while, too. I'm not sure why, though. It seems like the PS3 would be doing very well, with the converts wanting to get caught up on stories to prepare for the PS4 and all...
