Can the Sony Vita resist the 3DS storm?

People love to see some successful memory cards.

Considering their cost, and the fact that if you want to save the %10 off retail (or whatever) downloading your games, you will need a few of these, people will surely be encouraged to get in early and spend their money now for savings down the track.

Since Monster Hunter effectively kept PSP relevant to the mainstream Japanese gamer (and one of the few PsP titles with genuinely impressive sales) - all Sony needs is for Capcom to cancel Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS, bring it out on Vita instead, a few exclusive Dragon Quests and new Final Fantasies, get Layton over on PsV , and everything will be rosy for the Vita. Oh yeah - and a smoothly functioning online MP COD experience for USA/UK territories and Gran Turismo fro Europe (because that is the biggest franchise of all time in Europe) - and they'll get those numbers on par with 3DS. And maybe a price drop.

On topic though - if the above happens - they absolutely will see the 3DStorm through.

Whoa whoa whoa...

So for Sony to succeed and for everything to be rosy for the Vita, this is what needs to happen:

- Capcom to cancel Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS and put it on Vita

- A few exclusives

- Get Layton on the Vita

- and a price drop.

 

I guess the 3DS is safe afterall....
