Forums - Gaming Discussion - [Kotaku]In Japan, Vita has more upcoming games than any other console.

and how many of those are indie games nobody cares about ,remakes/inferior ports or games that will never arrive in the west?



Around the Network

So, what's the news?

Vita always gets a lot of games in Japan, most are niche titles that barely sell, same goes for the titles that release on PSP recently, sales for the system ain't increasing.

3DS doesn't get the same kind of niche support, less games, yet games that sell way more, I mean probably 10 of those games will outsell all PSV games coming these months, the charts will look the same, 3DS takes top spots with some PS3 and now PS4 fulfilling the top while Vita floods the bottom of the chart as its always been.

WiiU is dead, we all knew this, getting less games than a system released 10 years ago is really no surprise at this point.

I'm more interested on how PS4 performs, wonder how many of those 22 games are also on PS3.



Man there really is a LOT of hate on Vita from Nintendo fans.

The funny part being, they're pretty much using a reworded argument that they complain PlayStation/Xbox gamers use against Nintendo software.

Vita has a very set audience in Japan, the games coming to it will make money based on the expectations set. Increased power will certainly be a factor, I know if I was a developer I'd want to work with more horsepower.

There is also the other aspect, Vita owners are a lot more active in buying software than usual with a system. 3DS owners know more what they bought the console for and seem to stick to that, hence the insane sales figures for select franchises. However the niche stuff, the Vita versions seem to perform on par or better than they do on 3DS when there is a dual format release.

This constant trashing anything coming to Vita is really getting tiresome on this forum now though. It's a great system with some fantastic games. I'd say it's a much better system in every way than the 3DS, for my gaming tastes but I'm not going to poopoo the 3DS at every opportunity like a lot of people constantly do to Vita. Come on guys, you've had some great years for software, you're better than this.

Kotaku is a train-wreck

For giving us the facts or is this unrelated to the thread?

dammit you just had to make me click the link! thread title is misleading. it should say just until march

Well you'd probably get a similar outcome if you just used 2015. Still, it's good to limit yourself to March because most games releasing after that don't have a set release date yet.

Oh come on, you're smarter than that. The business model of internet "churnalism" is just to get site hits with trolling headlines, the news value is secondary to the hook that gets people to click the link.

So...how would you compare upcoming games in Japan?

Isn't it obvious?

3DS and Wii U have the most software because the PS3/4 and Vita just have ports, shovelware and indies. But it's not fair that Nintendo doesn't get that even though I didn't want it anyway.

It's kind of funny that one of the two wii u games is a multiplat.
