Will the launch of PSV affect PS3 sales in Japan?

well now as you see even you noticed what they were talking about. Uncharted psv has some truly amazing graphics so it's obvious they talk about it..the series in general is known for it. and the impressive graphics are the first things anyone would notice when playing that demo..because that's the first thing you see when you start it. and Not all demos, mainly uncharted demo. they were talking non stop about mnr, lbp, sound shapes and their gameplay innovations. they were talking about those somewhat smaller titles since a week before E3 actually started even. For example wipeout and voice command integration was talked about in detail.

Social connectivity stuff came strong especially around GC time..I guess that's around the time when they started to finalize them. You can find yourself various interviews, presentations and vids on the subject by Sony. During E3 they showed off AR capabilities to the media a lot! So no graphics are not their main focus in marketing the device, it's just a part of many things.

again not all games announced are multiplat. There are quite a few games that are exclusive to the system and are unique. No need to be picky on what you mention, as I said there is a big range in play here.so when you say all you say the types are the same it's a rather misinformed generalization as I pointed out.

It won't affect ps3 sales..even if it does it will be very small. The main point to consider here are the markets they are catering to and they are not the same at all. simple as that.

I do remember a lot of talk about gameplay and controller interface. So are you trying to tell me that PSV will be a unique system, instead of simply a portable playstation? Gameplay innovations are great, but I still don't see that much variation between PSV and PS3 games.

Still even if the PSV plays differently from the PS3, they both cost $250. So to Japanese gamers buying a new PS3 console, wouldn't some of them purchase a PSV instead? This is why I brought the subject up. If they both cost $250, have similar graphics, and the PSV has a more sophisticated controller, won't that entice new console buyers to get a PSV instead of a PS3? I understand PS3 has a strong library, but PSV will have more new IP's coming in.

 

Question, did PSP's release hurt PS2 sales in Japan?
