Part of me thinks that since the PS3 is picking up in sales the past few years, the PS fans got some of their confidence back from the glory PS2 days.
But then here's the Vita, the one piece of hardware that's holding back the PS fans from true greatness. This isn't about games, this is about bragging rights. As long as Vita struggles, they can't say with 100% confidence that Sony is a God again. |
PSP never did well even when the real God of gaming (PS2) was the market leader. Home and portable are entirely different monsters. Look at Nintendo. They lost home console market with N64 and Gamecube but their handhelds remained dominant in those years.

Yet here we are. PSP did great for a first timer. Totally different then the numbers Vita is pulling in.
|
yeah here we are because you brought it up. I keep the handheld and home console market completely separate. Why you would think that Vita not doing well would tarnish PS3 sales in the slightest is beyond me.

Vita resources impact console resources, like you said. Sounds more intertwined then you like to admit.

I was talking about how sony's first party studios could get stretched thin that's completely different than the sales of one impacting your brand name or being indicative of how strong the other is. Like I said Nintendo was dominant in handhelds even when they sucked in home console sales. Sony sucked in handhelds when they were dominating home consoles. The two are unrelated sales wise but resource wise yes they are related obviously because MM and GG are making Vita games (although they are also working on other projects apparently).
