Forums - Sales Discussion - Vita owners are to blame for the Vita's current situation

I have the feeling there's a contradiction out there in this statement, but I can't find it.


I think you need to press for further testimony!

OT: Poor Vita, the only reason I see myself getting one is for Persona 4 Golden but that's one game so I will stick with the PS2 version

Rol would ignore my plea for further testimony though xD



So, it's Vita owners fault for not buying PSP games?



No, shops are to blame, in my home town at least. They have a dozen titles in and as soon as another title comes in they remove one of the older games. Anyone looking to buy a handheld will immediately think there's only a dozen games. This is one of the reason the now tired and entirely debunked meme 'Vita has no games' persists.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Whoa, that's a lot of text for a tro reactionary thread. This must have some extra meaning to bring out that much effort. I sense hidden emotions.

If you wanted Monster Hunter from Capcom, you should have bought more copies of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken.

Stretching your point a bit with most of those examples, but in essence I don't disagree with you (your 'parody' point, not the reason you made this thread).

I don't think there is a third party conspiracy to make the Vita fail, and I think Ubisoft, Activision, Konami have sound business reasons for not continuing their franchises on the Vita so I just can't be angry at them - I don't expect third parties to support platforms by default, that's not how being a third party works.



See Vita guys, this is how the WiiU guys are treated.


Well, you want something from EA ? You should have bought the 8month old , full price port of Mass Effect 3 when the other systems got the entire trilogy for less.



I've had a Vita since release.  I've only purchased four retail games (ACIII, R:BS, U13 & U:GA)  as most of the games on the Vita simply do not interest me.  I have all the current systems and only so much time.  The Vita's games simply have not been able to compete with the games for the other system for my time.  Rarely do I take my handheld systems out of the house as I tend to play them more at my desk, on the couch or in bed.  As for Call of Duty, that game got panned bad, and I've got COD BO2 on the Wii U, so I can just play it on the Game Pad when I fell like playing it away from the TV.

I've actually had my Vita up on Craig's List for a while since it just sits on my desk.  I sold three of my games and have the Vita, 16GB memory card, Resistance and a nice nerf case for it left.  Everything is in near perfect condition.  I have it listed for $140 in a metropolitan area of about 1 million people and have had zero interest in it.  On the other hand, I had a couple of 3DS systems that I put up as I have an XL now, and they sold within a couple of days at the same price.

I wouldn't blame Vita owners for the problems because they shouldn't have to buy games that they don't want just for the system to stay alive.  From my perspective, the Viat just hasn't been able to compete with the 3DS, smart phones and tablets let alone the home consoles and that's not the fault of current Vita owners.



Stop hating and start playing.

The shops aren't to blame.  Why should they waste retail space for something that doesn't sell?
