A day or two ago, I'd have said "Yes." But today, after reviewing the upcoming lineup, I'm not so sure, at least in the West.

Looking over the release schedule for the rest of 2012, we have:

August: Madden
September: Fifa, LittleBigPlanet
October: Assassin's Creed
November: PSASBR, Call of Duty

Plus a new Ratchett and Clank at an unknown date. That's 7 big games, if not system sellers. It certainly beats the 3DS's Paper Mario/Layton combo.

Honestly, I think the real worry should be towards Japan. I mean, let's look at their release calendar.

August: Hatsune Miku
September Onwards: Various Western games

That's going to be competing with Bravely Default, Fantasy Life, Project X Zone, Paper Mario, and potentially Animal Crossing, a HUGE game.



TL;DR Not yet in the West, possibly in Japan unless some great immediate announcements come out at the TGS.

Exactly my opinion!

I'll add that Japan needs a good plan. The west at least has one - if it's going to fail or succeed it's another story. And it sucks, cause it's been out in japan for 9 months already.

There is probably a plan in place for Japan already.

I'm digging up some old announcements, and have to admit there are some upcoming Vita games that can appeal to Japanese gamers. Final Fantasy X HD, Soul Sacrifice, and PSASBR can all be big hits. They just need release dates!
