It will get a price cut before the Holidays for sure. That will lift sales but still not to respectable levels. Assassin's Creed (forgot the subtitle) and COD Declassified will do almost nothing as both honestly look bad. COD especially looks absolutely horrible.
Not that it matters because as people alreay have said so many times, not many gamers are interested in having the PS3 experience on a handheld, as evident by the excellent handheld version of Uncharted - it sold well, but it's not a Mario or Zelda that truly pushes units.
Vita is not dead, it will hang in there and be supported for a few more years but it will always be seen as a failure. The writings are on the wall. I don't need the upcoming Holiday season to make that statement. |
I dont think at this point there is any franchise out there that will sell in the same level of Super Mario or Pokemon with the price tag of $39.99+ no matter if they are a pure portable game or a console based game. Not even GTA anymore.
AC3L looks pretty good but I do agree with CoD looking so bad, it looks like the Wii Port of CoD Black Ops lol.

Yeah, using Mario and Zelda as hard to reach examples was a little too obvious.
What I simply wanted to say was that despite Uncharted Vita being a great version of console Uncharted, getting great reviews, it doesn't seem to have conquered the mind space of gamers. Gamers don't crave Uncharted Vita so much that it justifies a purchase of a $300 handheld (the cheapest one costs that much with the memory card, doesn't it?), it's just a small part of the equation.
I can just look at myself. I am a HD gamer first and foremost. I adore Assassin's Creed and Bioshock but I have zero interest in playing them on a handheld. So when I bought a handheld a few months ago I obviously chose the 3DS, because it gives me an experience I can't get on my PS3 (so far Kid Icarus and the Zelda remake and I will get the golden coin Mario when it comes out).
