" I have a question for you, why should i get these games on the Vita instead of my phone? No reason. " Yet, there could very well be a reason to get them on the PSVita since people complained first hand that the orig. PSP did not have dual analog control's and the PSVita does, instead of simply making tousch screen control's simulated on the PSVita Sony's PSVita really does have physical touch screen and analog control right with them! on the system. PSVita could get DLC first before the other smartphones, and also the fact that that the PSVita has the larger screen over many of the smartphones anyway, maybe not the best resolution over smartphones but , the PSVita's screen is clear, and large and good for Games played on the system sofar. "Vita needs games that are exclusive to it for it to sell, and needs to have a lower price point. Wether Sony facilitates the porting of mobile games doesnt really make a difference without those 2 points beeing fulfilled." Exclusives to sell? was that not the claim by many about any system? its the Games no matter what that makes a system , not just a single exclusive here and there, the point is support. As for price once again that's with anything some will wait, and some will just not buy the system no matter what anyway. All you can do is keep support coming and see if that get's consumer's to buy. which is exactly what Sony did with the PS3, and they had a very big cut into their market share, loss in profit, and their companies consumer view took a hammering about How many consumer's see's Sony's viability in the market. And with all that Sony is still doing thing's to try to please consumer's, many say not enough , but again Sony is atleast trying to do so. with making moves on Playstaation + games per month, buy once get one free, and buy on Playstation Mobile play on any playstation Mobile certified device. that atleast shows they are doing something atleast to make their platforms more viable in the game's market space. And once again that will mean diddly squat for some people, but you cannot please everyone , and no matter what sometimes you cannot please a person no matter what you do. that's just the breaks, and all you can do is try. |
Again, you make the point that Sony is fine and is doing good stuff as a company. I agree with you that PSN rocks, i love all the deals i got on my PSP for it. But, it doesnt solve the problem we have here: The vita is not selling.
Support means 3rd party exclusive releases on the system. You know things like you have on the 3DS on the form of resident evil revelations, Kingdom hearts 3D, theatrythmn, etc. Possible ease to port phone games does nothing to help sell the system.
Ok tell you what, what Sony is really bad at is Marketing and product development. The Vita is a terrible product in marketing terms. It is a great system tech wise, but it presents nothing unique. If a product has nothing unique the consumer wont get it over another product with similar offer and uniqueness 3DS (games + 3D), Tablets (games + ease of work), and phones (games+phone on a small package). Vita only has the back touch screen wich has very limited use (only the tear game has tapped into it) and games, wich at this time are lacking. Result, the consumer doesnt want the system. Consequence, developers will stop releasing games for it cause its not profitable.
