Anything....good? Little Deviants was the biggest disappointment IMO, Hot shots Golf is shovelware. Uncharted is the only good game on PSV, and Resistance coming out will be game #2.
Well, you made the point that Sony could announce a lot of first party games at E3 to boost PSV sales and I said they already released many. Now you say that almost all of them suck, so why again would a lot of E3 announcements help?
It always confuses me a little bit when people argue against their own points.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV (360+PS3) would outsell SSBB. I was wrong.
It would be incredibly stupid of Nintendo to buy Monster Hunter 4 exclusivity only to allow some other MH game to be made for the PSV, so I wouldn't hold my breath. Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid are up for grabs though, so maybe Sony can convince Square-Enix or Konami to make a big exclusive for a system that will take a long time to hit the two million mark in Japan.
I think Sony is willing to pay even more than Nintendo for this game. MH is no longer an investment for Sony, it's a strategical decision. They should pay what they can to have it, no matter how much money will be lost. Even Nintendo can't cover the price a desperate company is willing to pay for something it needs.
Don't think Sony can do that. Over the last couple years Sony has been seriously loosing money. They don't have the leisure to throw cash around like Microsoft.
Not going to be that way for long.
Their money troubles are getting much better with the inflating yen. Sony has said that they lose 6B yen for every 1 yen gain against the dollar. In the last month, it's dropped 6.4 yen. That's nearly 40B yen ie, 300 million dollars straight profit that Sony has made in a single month, if their statement was accurate.
RolStoppable said: The PSP launched in the last week of March in America, so it's not a perfectly alligned launch like in Japan. This doesn't matter right now, but eventually it will become a little bit skewed (when PSP enters its first holiday while the PSV has still one slow month ahead of it).
What makes matters worse for the PSV is that you can't even make a chalkboard for it. There aren't many big/semibig games announced for it right now.

Even if they aren't I'm sure they can sell the 3DS at $170 for a long long while, in a couple years with a redesign and lower production costs, they will profit. Also I refuse to believe Mario Kart and Super Mario aren't raking in the millions....
Just by looking at their financial results and projections
Don't be silly, pezus. Financial reports mean nothing. The 3DS clearly sells well and so do its big games like Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7, so Nintendo is swimming in money.
Thank you so much for making this thread kowenicki. I had the exact same frustrations as you where in that news post there were so many people who had simply looked at the graph and gone ''Oh well Vita is actually doing amazing'' and were ignoring the differences in launch times.
Of course as others pointed out at some point you will have to add notes about timing differences with large sale periods. However in the long run it will average out. Keep the thread updated! You can do it!
I think the most worrying thing so far is that despite launching MUCH bigger in Japan the Vita is already considerably behind the PSP after 3 months and it's weekly sales are also lower. Whereas in America and Europe the vita has even launched much lower than the PSP and we will have to see how following weeks go.
Does illustrate quite nicely just how much hype there was for the PSP with Sony coming off the highs of the PS1 and PS2, with people hoping it would be a portable PS2. In contrast the Vita is launching at a time when Sony are in a much weaker market position.
Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.
So what is this graphs about? Showing how they launched respectively against each other?
Is the global combining all three?
..because...the other graphs were a timed alignment based on the actual time it's been out. It seems, you've instead shrunk the difference between the global launches. So, whereas the other graph shows that psv is doing better AT THE MOMENT, yours is showing that comparitively OVER TIME it is doing worse....
Which makes the point of the thread is that a person can make a graph showing anything depending on their agendas.
