Seems like they don't really create for Nintendo's consoles?


Well they did make Star Ocean the first one for the SNES back in the 1990s.

Than they went towards Playstation throughtout the late 1990s and early 2000s, but developmental costs were too much I'm guessing which is why most of their games went multiplatform though not sure why Infinite Undiscovery went exclusive, I heard it did terrible in terms of sales , possibly due to the game not being popular in the xbox console in Japan mostly ;x.

Their a pretty decent third party group though.

Running off of Holiday/Birthday/If I'm Lucky Money I can't buy more than a Home Console and HH Console each generation, so that's really one of the reasons I'm a Nintendo Zombie, I don't mind Sony but... I hate Microsoft Thanks for the info.


Get Valkyrie Profile Convenant of the Plume for the NDS

You might like it, it plays like FFTactics from what I heard, havent played it myself yet but I do have it somewhere in my large ds collection lol.

Thank you for taking your time with suggesting me that game! But, I'm really trying to focus on 3DS games right now because I really lacked with games for my NDS bacause, again, all I kept was Pokemon and I played then traded in all the other games. Stupid young me D:

Guys, this is the media create thread. Go talk about your fancies in a private room :S

Wasnt really a argument ;p

 

But to keep on topic!

Shame that Ace Combat didnt do so well on the 3DS, wonder what happened? Thought the series was popular in Japan.

Super Robot Wars dominating #1 spot, man PSP's been getting alot of RPGs, I wish they would come out in the west :(

Oops I really didn't mean to write that XD I meant convorsations... FAIL!

To be fair though, I only saw a few people claim that the Vita had a chance to beat the 3DS in sales- I imagine that most people expected a similar 3DS/Vita marketshare cut as we saw with DS/PSP

Not really. The general consensus among Sony fans pre-Vita launch seemed to be that the Vita wouldn't beat the 3DS, but garner higher marketshare than the PSP. Something along the lines of a 55/45 split instead of 67/33 or whatever it is for the DS and PSP.


i'll fess up that i predicted that pre-launch.  but in my defense that was also before monster hunter tri-G and 4 was announcement for 3DS.  huuuge blow to sony.  obviously only software can save the vita now ... wonder if we'll ever see that killer game for vita.  now i love sony's first party but there is no denying that their first party doesn't sell as well as nintendo's or MS's.   ... bleak days ahead my friend.

I still think it's too early to say that. First 4 weeks rellied on launch lineup which wasn't well received in J.

This week Wipeout 2048 is launching

on next week Tales of Innocence and Sumioni

two weeks from now - Ragnarok Odysey

If this doesn't help weekly sales we well have to sound Doom alarm ;)

well you might as well start sounding the alarm now then ... while all of those are 'good' games none i'd call 'killer'.  nintendo has mario and mario kart on the 3DS and likely some off the wall break out coming soon like brain age was for the DS.  what will sony bring now that monster hunter is gone (and it's still gone even if 4 is multiplat)?     COD might be a killer app (i have my doubts) but that will only be in the west even if it is.

At this point of life of a console nearly everything should be generating some sales interest. And by sales interest i mean keeping it at 15-20k and not dropping to 4 digits numbers.

Meh, he summed it up good, but it's a sad reality of the site. Did it occur to you I was aware of what he was saying? I was just saying it was lame...

Who's to say that users don't learn? The lesson from past years is "enjoy while it lasts".

So if we are looking at a situation where dedicated gaming handhelds are apparently in a battle with smartphones and hardcore gamers need to sell the current machines (3DS, Vita) as much as possible to stop Apple and others, then maybe now is the time that Sony plays the role of the wounded soldier on the battlefield who tells his buddy Nintendo to leave him behind, because otherwise they will both die.

And what interest would Sony have in this ?

- more profits for Nintendo = more resources to fuel console war

- more sales of dedicated Nintendo handheld = less sales of Sony smartphones and sony software on android market

 

Of course there's also a question of how attractive would 3DS as only handheld be to core gamer to win him over tablets/smartphones

Can we just sound the Doom Alarm now and if everything works out shut it off later? Is more fun to see the people running and screaming because "the end is here", that just waiting for the apocalypsis to come. ;)

People are saying just wait for killer software for the ps vita.
They think Sony is a charitable organization? They haven't made any profits for a few years now, and you want them you ride out another war?
It better show good sales for the western market or its really dead. It can't just bleed money like the ps3 did.
Quarter after quarter, they can't keep showing the red.

Exactly, and I seriously doubt the VITA will be huge in America even with all our CoD Fans. They would most likely not want to play on a handheld.
