| Chandler said: I think everybody in their right mind agrees that the PS Vitas launch line up was way better than the 3DS's but the 3DS had no competitor so it got away with it. Vitas launch line up was good but the follow up was and is extremely poor. Two retail games in the next 3 months in europe. About Metacritic scores, I have stopped to care about them since I own the 3DS since it feels like there is a certain hate towards the device from certain sites that are supposed to be neutral. Lately there are always some hipster websites that need to fall out of line in a really obvious way. Look at Kingdom hearts. The reviews gravitate around a solid 80 and then there is this one hate bomb dropping a 40. Same with Mario Kart 7, Kid Icarus and Destructoid. I can tell you that NSMB2 will struggle to stay at 80%. |
This. Also, knowing this Sony should have learned from 3DS lackluster lineup. They should have known a second analog was not enough to sell the system, nor is the cross-platform play (well, this may remain yet to be seen). It also did not help that Nintendo cut 3DS' price, and unlike Nintendo, unfortunately, with Vita's R&D along with proprietary Memory Card Sony could not easily adjust to the system's current predicament. It's a shame actually. Vita deserves more attention that it does now. I expect Sony to unleash a great amount of information before or once Wii U release as a counter.
EDIT: I apologize. I meant 'not'
