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%.

The good and bad thing about metacritic is the "neutal" sites giving bad scores, all three companies have these (Gravity rush countering your Kingdom Hearts) so it kind of evens out

and as for the two retail games for the next three months?

 

2. Madden NFL 13

3. Ragnarok Odyssey

4. FIFA Soccer 13

5. Silent Hill: Book of Memories

7. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz

8. Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

9. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

10. Assassin's Creed III: Liberation

11. Persona 4: Golden

12. LEGO The Lord of the Rings

13. Need for Speed Most Wanted (Criterion)

(ignore the numbering)

out of those 3,9,10 and 11 will move some units so it's not too bleak as people make out.

Please take notice how I dropped the little word "europe" in there.

 

Madden NFL 2013 - Even if it comes here in europe, american football is not very popular in europe. It wouldnt make a difference if this was a Bratz! girls game.

Silent Hill 31th October - more than 3 months away

NfS, ACL, PSABR, Zero Escape, Monkey ball - all more than 3 months away

FIFA and LBP are the two games I was talking about, releasing at the end of september, which is still about 2 months away. Those two games will sell like crazy and move some units in europe because people will be starved to get sth on their vita.

 

Edit: forgot Ragnarok and LotR LEGO. Ragnarok has no european release if I remember correctly and LEGO is due in early october but it's on literally everything, so not really relevant.
