cusman said: Ragnarok Odyssey sort of like a Monster Hunter game isn't it? Isn't LittleBigPlanet Vita a good answer to Mario? PS-Vita already has it's Super Smash Bros or closest equivalent in PS All-Stars Battle Royale while the 3DS equivalent is 1-2+ years out. I suppose there isn't any Mario Kart equivalent, but the moment Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed ends up on Vita wouldn't that be an equivalent? |
No. There are no equivalents to those games.
You cannot counter a Mario game with a similar game and expect it to draw consumers away. It's Mario.
You cannot counter Mario Kart with Sonic Racing and say they are equal. It's Mario Kart.
A popular IP like Mario Kart, Monster Hunter or Animal Crossing will sell based on the name of the game even before you factor in how good it is.
