I know you can. It won't make it right though. 1 - First party game that helps the system - in the end that's the whole point. Games that will take Vita out of the hole, but since sony first party is not known to be able to do that, I used third party - the exception is soul sacrifice, which we don't know yet. 2 - Exclusive for 1 year (not timed, as no one knew about the Wii U Version). Not really exclusive too, as it's more or less a tri updated game. But there's also MH4 announcement, but you forgot, right? DQ games too. Did you know - DQ spin-off sold more than all vita games combined in japan, at least till 1 month ago or so. But it's still an ok situation right? 3 - Price drop? So? I never said it's bad. In fact that would help vita a lot. But it needs to happen. And since it's almost sure it happens in the second semester, as 95% price cuts do, it's not stated in the OP - as written there with all the words Big games take a while to get ready too. This was supposed to be vita's time of harvest not plantation. |
1. If software that SONY launched isn't appealing to you, that doesn't mean that it isn't appealing to anyone else. SONY's 1st part line-up was great thus far, and more amazing games are coming. Because if SONY's 1st party line-up simply doesn't move consoles, than almost 70 million PS3 user bought it to play Call of Duty on it.
2. You want to talk numbers? Why not. 7,8 million 3DS's vs 1 million Vita's. Since the market shares are "so similar", sales numbers are really compareable. Let's look at attcahment rates. 900000 DQ copies/ 7,8 million consoles = 11,5%, So every tenth 3DS owner in Japan bought DQ. 230000 Persona 4 copies / 1 million consoles = 23% So every fifth Vita owner bought Persona 4. (DQ and Persona being highest selling JRPGS only released in Japan thus far).
You should streighten your facts. Since DQ is at 0,9 million and Vita sales are at 2,04 million. And honestly I don't think that during the past month or so, 1,14 million Vita games were sold in Japan.
3. Why? Is Vita too expensive for you? Even with price drop you would still find something to troll about. And SONY's obvious strategy is bundles, ergo more value for money. So I don't see price cut coming too soon, and honestly I don't think that system needs a price cut. Memory on other hand... But that's another story.
Big games take a while to prepare. That's true. GoW Chains of Olympus launched in 2008, Daxter in 2006, Crisis Core in 2008... and PSP? End of 2004. You see my point? This is Vita's 1st year.
