With a bunch of new software on the way it looks like Nintendo really might have turned the sinking ship around. Good for them, makes you wonder though what this means for Vita. It appears pretty clear the market isn't in any rush to support $250 portables..... Strong debut for Deus Ex, should sell over a million on the 360 and hopefully on the PS3 as well. Really hope they make a direct sequel to it cause the game is fantstic. Nice seeing Uncharted 2 get a boost and Infamous 2's boost is due to the PS3 bundle. |
Couldn't it be that the market isn't in any rush to support $250 portables with shitty launch titles for multiple months? Considering that the Vita seems set to have possibly the greatest launch lineup for a console ever, I feel like going by the terrible launch of the 3DS is insufficient. I'm tired of people saying Vita has no chance because 3DS couldn't do it. The 3DS launch was miserably handled. You can't write off a strategy until someone attempts it and attempts it well.
Sorry, had to vent a little.
