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.

Bit defensive there, gov? ;)

we do know this is a joke right? Its just a reverse of the Wii U 3rd party support thing. Its kind of funny, but the the thing is. Vita owners from what ive seen(and being one myself) never really complain too much about support.

Hell its only one group that has alot to say usually. I got enough games for Vita that im good for some time. tearaway is coming hell i havent even beaten Persona 4 yet

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.


people still mad at this?



More like the lack of Vita owners ... The majoriy of us do a great job on the sofware front.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


One day we will be reading an article titled "How Vita owners are responsible for the downfall and demise of Sony."

Everything is the fault of the people who bought the product, not the people who made it.

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.

Ignoring the purpose of the OP for the sake of discussion, I agree with you.  I might believe that there is potential in the Vita for the major western publishers, and I do, but I'm not going to rant and yell at them if they believe otherwise.  They run businesses, they have to maximize their profits and put their resources where they will see the most return.  The guys at the top, that's what they got hired to do.  I do not take that personally, nor do I think they're trying to push the Vita to fail.  I'm sure they'd love to see another market open up, they're just not willing to gamble heavily that it will.

Publishers in Japan I hold a bit more responsible, though.  They should have known that games would sell on the Vita.  It took the examples of several smaller developers doing quite well for themselves to illustrate that the Vita market is a good one and now the bigger fish are jumping on board.  The Japanese can be painfully conservative sometimes.  Still, they have to do what they think is best for themselves and I can't blame them for that.  I just wish that they would be a little less reactionary.

Of course, I also hold Sony accountable, as they, like Nintendo with the Wii U, assumed that third party support would be enough to keep things going during the first year.  It's clear that Sony cannot think that way with handhelds, just as Nintendo cannot think that way with home consoles.
