The platform needs to differentiate, and it needs to really exploit its advantages. That means Sony should be looking towards non linear expansive gaming experiences. If you are to spend four hundred or so dollars on the Vita, Card, and a game. That games need to have serious staying power, and they need to be of a quality that cannot be found anywhere outside of consoles. I suppose what I am saying is the game the Vita needs are titles in the Elder Scrolls series, Fallout series, or Mass Effect series. Those are experiences your not finding on other portable devices, and their shear size, and quantity of content give them a severely long play life. Anything large open world would be very attractive in the market. I really think that is where Sony should be placing serious emphasis. Get the games on the platform that others are not able to match when it comes to scope. |
Sounds like a good strategy for a console game killer app.
Sounds like a terrible strategy for a portable game killer app.
The Vita needs portable-specific games that appeal to huge segments of the market, not experiences which are demonstrably better in every way that counts on consoles. Positioning the Vita as a console stand-in will only lead to ruin.
