Lawl Look Professor, the reality is that the Vita emerges from a very difficult situation on Sony's part. The question they must have asked themselves is "What are we doing wrong?", and "What is Nintendo doing right?". With a goddamned console way weaker than the PSP, and 2D games, the DS managed to wipe the table clean. Seriously, it's to make one scratch his head very hard! But, now they are trying to go upstream. Is it too late? Was it too late when Nintendo wanted to reclaim the general hobbyist crowd during the PS2 era. The sad answer is: Yes. :( Sorry for the gloom! But! At least they are trying for God sakes! |
Well, you're right and you're wrong.
They aren't necessarily moving upstream, that's just a natural movement from one gen to the next.
Rather, they are trying to counterattack by moving downstream into the apps market, but, the vita isn't a phone, so it kinda feels like a half hearted attempt. Like I said in the OP, someone walks by a sign and just sees it as a video game. A successful expanded product like Nintendo's is one that offers something else and then sneaks gaming into your hands.
Like tons of people bought a wii for wii fit, and then also bought some party games. Knaw mean?
