It's sad to see such an awesome device perform like this.


psone - 33mhz - 102million units
n64 - 94mhz - 32m
saturn - dual core 30mhz - 9m
----------------------------------------------
ps2 - 333mhz - 155m
xbox - 750mhz - 24m
gamecube - 485mhz - 21m
----------------------------------------------
ps3 - 7 core 3ghz cell - 64m
xbox - tri core 3.2ghz - 67m
wii - 749mhz - 97m

even in handhelds power =/= sales

psp - dual core 333 mhz - 71m
DS - 66mhz+33mhz - 151m

 

The most powerful machine I don't think in the history of console wars has never came out on top sales and profits wise. it's very odd that companys havn't figured it out yet that more mhz just doesn't right up equal more games, gamers or sales on their systems.

Tis a bit sad considing how absolutely incredible the psp was compared to the DS but I think the homebrew community made more use of the psps' power than any developer ever did.


I'm aware of the pattern. I'm fine with the Vita not being number 1. I never expected it to be. If this gen played out like PSP/DS only even more in favor of Nintendo, I would be fine with that. But it sucks that it's doing so much worse than that. Also, when I say awesome device I don't mean just hardware. The system actually has an awesome library for those that want deep games as well as the short burst pick up and play fans. Access to a lot of the PSP's library and soon a decent chunk of the PSOne's library. It has an awesome feature set. It's an all around great device but sadly consumers just don't want it.


What pickup and play games are available?  If they exist I'm not aware of them, that's how bad the marketing of the Vita has been.  Consumers cannot make buying decisions if you don't inform them.  This has been one of the worst managed releases in memory, it literally has no buzz...


Sound Shapes
Super Stardust Delta
Escape Plan
Little Deviants
Lumines Electronic Symphony
Modnation Racers
A number of Fighting games
Rayman Origins
Tales from Space
WipeOut
Some smaller 1-3$ games in the store that I ignore. 


From this list I have Lumines and Super Stardust Delta I mean they are so absolutely beautiful to look at on the psvs screen, I had the first 2 lumines games on the psp and outside of the odd reshuffle thing they bought in I would say if you like music puzzle games lumines alone could be a system seller for you, you also got an amazing version of Touch my Katamari which has loads of stages where its just 2-3 mins of rolling up a town into a ball, but yeah.... look at these games on the sales charts and I think they are both around the 30k mark, it's pathetic that there is nothing about any vita game outside of Dude Raider portable, that is truely a sit infront of a huge TV game, it does not lend itself very well to portable play, IMO dear me the most important 3 letters in my post :D IMO! I'm sure if you hate music games and quirky japan games then Lumines and Katamari would prolly make you smack your vita off a wall and if you're into raiding dudes then you'd get loads outta Uncharted.

Thanks, will have a look
