Do you really think that is what is going to save the Vita MDJ? If it needs saving at all.
Well there is my Vita thread that says pre orders are lacking, which I got from a source. The Vita's pre-orders are lacking! Is this going to be a problem for Sony?
We have this thread that says. Can Sony Vita resists the 3DS storm?
This says that the Vita will be the bomb! We have this thread saying that the vita will not be what they said it would be right when the system came out in Japan. Sony Backtracks, Says Only One Account Per Vita Here was the lie that tried to get you to spend a ton of money on memory cards PSVita supports multiple PSN Accounts per system, but only if you have multiple memory cards. This seems to support part of your claim here. New stats show Mobile gaming is slaughtering handheld consoles!
This shows that sony does not want to be late with the PS4, were they late with the Vita? Sony Doesn't Want to be Late with PS4
And finally here is something that could show that everything here is wrong from Seece PS Vita Shipments could top 700k (Japan) FW
I think it is hard to tell where the Vita will land at this point. I agree that core gamers will go out and buy this handheld, but after that it will have to have a wider appeal to the masses to survive. But with that being said, other than Mario and Monster Hunter in Japan does the 3DS even have that going for it yet? |
It's all about what you're looking for. I may be crazy for saying this, but the memebers of this site search for news which makes us journalist, and we report what we find wether we agree with it, or not. Those threads are pure speculation with the exception of Seece's which is merely an unknown factor considering the key word in the title is could, and we have no idea.
Sure Vita is trapped between smart phones and 3ds, but what we don't know yet is how well Vita will do until it's (today) released. i think it has a very good chance of selling 10-15m by 2012 yr. end, and to 17-20m by Sonys fiscal yr. end.
The only real difference is the feature set, which I think Vita has more than any smartphone, and Vita is capable of the type of gaming that touch screen phones are, giving dev.'s the ability to make on screen buttons for the device makes Vita a more fleable challenger to smart phones than the 3ds. And if you like skype! Vita has that to, so in some respects it's also a phone.
So, with Vita's full list of features, Vita is capable of doing it all, and can go to war with 3ds, and the best smart phones on the market, having only the problems presented to it by the market, as with any handheld, smart phone, and mobile device.
