I am a Sony fan, but it is funny to read someone considers the vita saved just because one game released and pushed 40,000 units of hardware. Hatsune is not the game which will sell 20k every week till the end of the year. it won't move any hardware for a long term.
BUT it showed japanese people are willing to buy a vita for the games. so for now i am looking forward to TGS, because when it comes to japan, people over there need more games to be hyped.
when it comes to europe, its success clearly stands and falls with the price. i am reading comments an several news sites, and there are very much people who just say it is too expensive. the issue with "vita has no gaemz" is fixed, so now it is about the price. but that will take some time!
i don't think the vita will die. and that is realism. it's sales now are really embarrassing yes. but i think sony makes some good moves.
- PS+ coming to vita. (announced, they will deliver)
- SDK coming (beta running now)
- cross buy (already with sound shapes)
- cross play (awesome!)
- remote play (i don't care but others do)
- games (LBP, AC, COD, SS, ...)
So what else could sony do? i can't imagine. price is not for discussion, because this price IS OK for the hardware. mobile phones having the same specs are double the price (having more features, yes, but hardware is the same).
must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:
WiiU: Donkey Kong
XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse
