| Andrespetmonkey said: I would say there seems to be more cross-over between the ninty handheld and mobile audience. I don't know if I'd go as far as to say the majority, but a lot of DS owners could be classified as casual, and the mobile market is made up almost exclusively of casual gamers, whereas Sony handhelds target core gamers - a market that I don't think has shrunk, of if it has, definitely not to the extent that would cause Vita to do so badly. I see the correlation, but I don't agree on the cause. The mobile market is getting bigger, but not big and encompassing enough to make Vita so irrelevant - it's the lack of compelling software doing that, mostly. |
You could be right, I don't know much about markets and all.
But, from my perspective, the Vita has a pretty good library and price. While the library/price may not be amazing, it definitely warrants more sales than what it's currently getting. And then when you look at the PSP, which didn't launch to a much better library than the Vita, you have to assume that there's another factor that effects the Vita. You cold argue that the Playstation brand has diminished. While that is true, I don't believe that it has diminished so much that the result is the sales of the Vita. There must be some other, more important factor.
Whatever the reason is, it'll become more clear in a few months I think. Until then, I have my beliefs.
