When vita bombs horribly will lack of marketing be blamed?

I think that will be cows excuse but I dunno how true it is. Anytime im in the car i get those stupid "buy a box at taco bell to win a vita" ads...stupid annoying ads but they are marketing this pos you cant deny.

Besides Taco bell haven't seen or heard of any form of marketing for it just saw commercial from a 3ds/vita threat and it was 8seconds long and sucked.

Cows tried that with PS3 exclusives, then shut up when Flopsistance 3 bombed even though it was advertised like hell.

Lack of consumer interest doesn't = lack of marketing. But we'll see how cows react. :lol:

You are going to have to define "bomb." Supposedly, the PSP "bombed" too and look at how many of those were sold.

iPhone.

No.

$249+ , February release , and how things went for PSP the last few years will be the main culprits. It's probably better to go with a softer launch now , then pick it up when the first pricecut happens (combined with the holiday and bigger 3rd party names).

Trolling isn't fun anymore on here, there's no effort involved to make it funny or entertaining.

And Vita will be fine, people were saying the same about the 3DS (I'm guilty as well, but I was joking) give it time and it will be ok.

Well you can't deny that it's a huge factor. I actually think if they advertised they can decent launch sales like they did in Japan, but at this rate you can walk into a store Day 1 and not expect any lines.Eponique

yeah i haven't seen a single thing about the vita anywhere besides on gaming sites and those are news stories not ads. Sony really is messing up because many people do not even know it exists. Me and a group of friends were talking and mentioned that it was coming out in a week and they had no clue what so ever. giant ad campaigns are mighty expensive though maybe that's why their holding back or maybe they are waiting for the launch to come even closer.

Cows will certainly blame the marketing.But to be honest if you have a garbage product it is very difficult to market it.3DS is easy for Nintendo because of the 3D hype and Nintendos popular top quality first party games.

The real problem with Vita is that it simply not an attractive product,as it contains watered-down console games,which you can play on consoles which are cheaper and contain higher quality games.

Third party is also responsible as they left Sony towards Nintendo with games like Resident Evil Revelations,Monster Hunter 3 and 4,Kingdom Hearts,MGS etc are now more or less 3DS games.

No real innovation again by Sony and copying Nintendo with the touch screen wont pay off just like the PS Move didnt pay off to fight the Wii.

Cows also can blame themselves that they also prefer third party games over Sonys first party.They hype them on the internet but in real life no one buys them and you get flops like Resistance 3 and other games which struggle to sell 1-2 millions units like Littlebigplanet,Killzone,Mototstorm,Ratchet etc.

I am really looking forward to the damage control cows will present after the 2. and 3. week sales of the Vita in the west.

If anythings to be blamed for me not buying the Vita it would have be the lack of compelling interesting titles. I couldn't care less about another Uncharted game. I've played the exact same thing 3 times already. Gravity Rush seems like the only care worthy game on it at the moment.. But I'm not buying a handheld console at that price for one single game.

no one is trolling here.You probably thought the PSP GO and the Dreamcast fill be fine and ok too if we gave them a little bit of time.Look where they are now as some of the biggest failures and disasters in gaming history.Better start saving money for the 3DS.

R3 didn't really get that much tho, compared to uncharted 3 which had about 2 months of NFL commercials, EPSN commercials and all of october with the subway beta deal. I only saw about 1 week of R3 commercials and that was at 11pm on comedy central :lol:

"When"? Why not "if"?Ravensmash

Because it has bombed in Japan already and thus the"When" is a much more likelier outcome then the"if" outcome

well you probably also think that it is too early to call the Dreamcast and the PSP GO a failure.Lets give Dreamcast and PSP Go also a little bit time so we can give them both the right judgement about their performance and outcome.

Nah it'll definitely be because of how poor PSP did. I still wanna get it though, there's a lot of potential in the system, even if no one else sees it.

We all know it's inevitable. Most of the threads like this one are just locked every time.

remember when GT5 flopped.....lets see how bad the vita does.cause i dont think many cows will stand for the vita they will let it die

Lack of marketing, and a gazillion other things to go with it. Vita has shown so far that it has all the ingredients for a disaster.

That could be spot on too.

Even if they threw $200 million to advertise the Vita I still doubt many would buy it simply because there's so much competition in the marketplace today, and Sony doesn't have the software to sell the Vita.

Anyway, as for the OP. I think it will be blamed, and it deserves it.

Have you seen any commercials for the Vita that aren't Taco Bell? Go around and ask peole, does anyone know what a Vita is? I walked into a nearby GameCraze and asked about this, the public awareness for this thing is ROCK BOTTOM. This thing launches in what, a week? Seriously, the **** is Sony doing?

From what I can tell the Vita hardware itself is still excellent, regardless of Sony's retarded marketing team. I will still be getting one [still don't know if I'm going to be a launch buyer; college courses], but the closer and closer this thing gets, the more critical the situation looks.
