Ok. So now that Star Fox is delayed to 2016, what is going to drive Wii U during Christmas? What lineup is there going to be to make it get ahead of Vita?

As lame as they are, AC Amiibo festival and Mario Tennis have more mainstream appeal than all Vita holiday games combined.

And of course, let´s not forguet about XCX.

WiiU is still going to sell 2 - 3 times more than Vita this holidays, as people buying a new console also look to the rest of the games there, not only the new ones, and Nintendo has almost the 60% of their sales on holiday season.


Don't compare Wii U's Christmas lineup to Vita's, cause that's not my point. What I wanna say is that you take it for granted, that Wii U will have yet another smashing Christmas. I ask the question - when you compare the baren wasteland that this year's Wii U lineup is to what it was every single Christmas before, what makes you think they will repeat their past results? Christmas with Smash and Christmas with nothing will give the same boost in sales? Really? I think this will be by far the worst Christmas period ever for the console, unless Nintendo finally cuts the price and makes some sick, sick bundles, but even that may not be enough. Especially since everything indicates a PS4 pricecut in the making.

On the other hand, Vita is set to keep on drifting in its own steady pace ;)



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Good for you, Zelda will still outsell all those games combined and it fully deserves too.

My post isn't argueing which console will outsell the other because they both sell like trash anyway. I'm saying that just because one console outsells the other it doesn't mean it's better, which is what some people here seem to think (the same people who will argue that the Vita has a better library than the 3DS mind you).

I'm also 100% sure that if some Wii U exclusives were Vita exclusives instead they'd be on your list now. Lol.

 

 

Vita... Vita just needs to keep on floating the way it is. It already has two games announced for 2016 that are potential 1+ mil sellers (DQ Builders and Minecraft: Story Mode) and another solid seller in World of FF. It'll be fine in 2016.

1) So you're saying people buy the Vita despite there not being any reason to? Yeah, some fans by anything made by a company. ;)

2) As for million sellers, Vita won't get any of them anymore.

3) Minecraft Stories is 2015.

4) Vita won't be fine in 2016 (and neither will Wii U).

1) Your opinion. I disagree with it.

2) What makes you think so? I am actually quite confident that a combo of Minecraft + Dragon Quest + exclusivity + being on a handheld + Japan = 1+ mil sales in Japan alone. The sales in the West would be decent as well just to add to it.

3) Ah, ok. It will sell very well in Japan nonetheless.

4) Vita will be fine in 2016. By fine I mean just like it was this year and pretty much previous year as well. Wii U won't be fine, cause it will be in a much, much worse situation than it was this year or the previous one. The upcoming games are really very meh in comparison to what it got in the past, there is more hype surrounding NX than everything connected to Wii U put together. Pricecuts are the only thing the console has left to offer, but we know Nintendo isn't interested in losing money on Wii U and we can't blame them.

I'm gonna repeat it, I totally expect Nintendo to release NX in 2016. Vita won't be discontinued before 2018.

The fact that this is still a question in Sept 2015 should tell you all that you need to know. But some people will keep lying to themselves

I love comments like these. They try so hard to ignore the countless predictions of what the Vita was suppose to do, but ofcourse you only want to focus on the WiiUs predictions. It only says alot about you.



I don't know and I don't really care which one wins.The Wii U and PS Vita are cool game systems regardless of their low sales imo.

Why do Sony fans always try to ignore what these games truly are? Its a Dragon Quest spinoff lol and these games aren't even exclusive. I love how desperate some of the Vita fans get. Instead of stating exactly what it is(Dragon Quest spinoff), you would rather try to paint the picture it is more than what it is(Dragon Quest mainline). Just saying Dragon Quest can be quite misleading and ofcourse Ninty fans could play the same game. WiiU is getting Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem, its gonna smoke Vita in Japan! Im gonna end with nobody cares what you totally expect, the fact that you are relying so much on NX ending WiiU says that you don't believe in Vita either.

I'm not sure you understood their point. It's not comparing it to a mainline dragon quest. It's comparing it to Minecraft which found a huge Vita audience in Japan despite not being exclusive. Dragon Quest builders appeals to the exact same audience so the Vita port could be a hit.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

does the vita have ps2 games to play games like the Maximo games or Klonoa 2, but if it only has PS1 games I prefer the psp that can play them at native resolution and has emulation.



It's like watching two fat people fall down the stairs

Such fierce and desperate fight, all for nought because you do not understand what you're talking about.

Mainly - what MikeRox said. This is not a DQ spin-off. This is an upgraded Minecraft with DQ flavour and RPG elements. And that's a massive difference. It will sell and PS3/PS4 versions won't steal much sales from this type of a game. Basically - it's a perfect game for a handheld, an upgraded close of a smashing hit with a very, very popular skin put on it. You are the one ignoring this.

NX killing Wii U and lack of a Vita replacement is the finishing argument to this discussion, not a sign of being unsure about Vita.
