| Immortal said: Some of your post is a bit confusing. The first and third paragraph seem to contradict each other, for one. You say that they're hitting different markets, therefore not competing, and yet their competition is good? Anyway, I'm not sure how the perceived success of the dedicated handheld gaming industry matters. As a Nintendo fanboy, I really only care about Nintendo's success and not so much about the industry in general. Besides, even if Vita is rejuvanated somehow and legs out 50m or so, short of a Tetris/Wii Sports/Nintendogs level breakthrough new game on the 3DS, the industry is gonna decline hugely anyway, meaning that the console doomsayers are gonna have a hell of a lot of ammo regardless. I'm also a bit confused about why this would be bad for third parties. In general, third parties have done better financially when there is a single dominating console so that they can focus on it alone. We're all aware of how so many gaming companies have been struggling this generation, in spite of the three main home consoles being far closer to each other in sales than usual. I'm sorry if I'm not understanding your point properly, but I really don't get how the Vita's possible death would in any real way be bad for me if I'm a Nintendo fanboy. |
Yeah, you've got me there in a few places. Like I said, I'm not very good at articulating my thoughts... Either way, although I have no interest in buying a Vita and haven't owned a non-Nintendo console since the Genesis, I'm rooting for the Vita. I'm having a hard time explaining why.
