Hm, no. Sorry. The "implication" you're drawing isn't based on a logical train, it's a simple observation: no handheld console has ever lived or died based on Western support. PSP's library feels Western if you look at the top ten or twenty in any given Western territory, but that doesn't really give the whole picture either. Similarly, you're not going to get an accurate impression of the DS's software library movement from looking at the top 50 games.

I do want to point out that you claimed earlier in the topic that the Vita was receiving Western support, which the PSP apparently never got. I can only assume you have recanted that idea.

You have not presented anything indicating that " the amount of popularity in the west was proportional to the amount of popular western games". If anything, you've indicated exactly the opposite, obfuscated by handwaving away Nintendo games as being, well, Nintendo games.

And no, "It is primarily unsupported" is not a weak argument, it's a statement of fact. Western support - including franchises which already existed on the PSP - cannot reasonably be assumed to propel Vita above the PSP, which is the original statement I was replying to. That is the long and short of my statement - your assumptions have no concrete basis, and your argument does not either. Do not get so far off-track.

Lay off ma words or I'll flatten you.


The N-Gage proves otherwise on the bolded!


Well, you definitely got me based on that wording, but what I meant was "no handheld console has lived or died based on a lack of Western support"
