I predict slow start for all three new gen consoles - mainstream is still happy with graphics of X360/PS3 so in this economic climate it will be hard to force them to buy into new $400+ machines.

You don’t like it when your favourite company sells well so they can keep on making games that you like?

You don’t have to be a fanboy to love a company that makes games that you love now do you?

You spelt Do0m3D wrong!

I think you’ve said Do0m3D more in one post than I have in every post i posted Do0m3D in. or at least I think so…

I’m sure Carl knows though

My comment was more in reference to the TC's comment that people are happy the Vita is doing poorly despite it being a good piece of tech. Sorry for the confusion.

I meant the 3DS and Vita :/

Then it's a good thing WIi U isn't depending on graphics to sell.

The industry needs a strong Vita and a strong 3DS. We need to support this handhelds people or we will end playing some very good mobile games and a lot of crappy mobile games. Support the one that you like the most. I will support both the Vita and the 3DS.

The market is YoY down, video games are DOOMED. XD lol

@sensebringer. I totally agree. You know, sometimes a player in the market gets cocky. It happened to Nintendo in the SNES days, the 3rd parties reacted and gave them a kick in the nuts. Sony did it at the end of the PS2 days (2006). The market gave them a kick in the nuts by not buying their flagship PS3 or their newcomer PSP for a good few years.

Now that everyone got a good serving of humble pie, I think everyone just needs to put their biases aside because in the end whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, however it happens.

@OP It's been done to the 3DS and look how it's doing. Don't you see the Vita's potential in the West? It only yet released in Japan, keep positive.

I like the vita but sony's business practices, frankly loss leading always strikes me a dishonest and monopolistic practice coupled with sony's tendency toward exaggerating their products performances
first sony intentionally allowed the perception of being nearly the ps3, but it isn't anywhere near it, more like an xbox with more space available for textures, uncharted is only running at about 5x the polygon count of resistance psp (oddly enough monster hunter tri g is running at 4x the count of monster hunter portable 3, polygon calculation don't seem to be hugely different between the vita and 3ds, supports the rumors that the 3ds has vector units on board and that the vita is further under clocked than assumed)
second they seem to have outright misled people about the amount of ram the machine has
http://www.ubmtechinsights.com/teardowns/sony-playstation-vita-teardown/
ram in 256 +128+128
128MB of ram embedded in the gpu seems unlikely so the 128MB is sure looks to be actually about of the 512 MB of main ram
lastly sony more or less did apple a huge favor in their design, the vita is probably going to be a good sight less powerful than the ipad3/phone5 when it ships with the exact same hardware but at higher clocks speeds and more ram, so effectively any playstation vita development translates to a iOS development and it will bring down manufacturing costs and increases processes maturity of sony's products, frankly it could easily be skew all sorts of perception and value when retail priced vita games begin hitting iOS for a fraction of the cost

just goes to show how clueless people like you are really. We talk about pretty much all the negative news about psv as well...most of the time days before people outside the thread do. I suggest you actually get a clue about what you are talking about before blabbering
