| Zlejedi said: 3rd parties will have the same reason to not support 3DS as they did with Wii - Nintendo itself. Nintendo will take a huge part of market itself as they always do which means rest of companies will have to compete in crowded space against 3rd party behemoths like Resident or Monster Hunter. Add to that barely existing digital market and easy porting from consoles to PSV and chances are western devs and smaller japanise companies will choose Vita instead of 3DS. People think that Japan is the key to handheld success. It was in past gens because west didn't care about handhelds as they were inferior to consoles. Vita now opens possibilities of handheld which can fully accept solutions from home console market. Also in DS vs PSP - DS had a huge advantage of battery life few times longer than PSP which people many time quoted as a reason to choose DS. That advantage is gone. |
Then how come the Nintendo DS and Gameboy sold oh so many millions upon millions of consoles in those markets? The DS sold more in both America and Europe than any other 7th gen console.
