| Immortal said: I think the actual games matter more than "developers are working on it". Even if Naughty Dog and Polyphony are apparently doing something Also, the situation with the third parties is something that could potentially happen with the PS4; all the main third parties are on board, but even their best games are still selling like crap. I don't necessarily think it will, but I don't see why it won't. |
I think you're missing the point about third parties. When Capcom commit new franchises to the PS4's reveal event; it's a bit different to announcing they are porting two of their underperforming fighting games to Vita, far too late to make an impact. Heck, even Square-Enix announcing "we are bringing Final Fantasy to PS4" is better than Vita had: "Here is Army Corps of Hell, a game which no-one asked for and we won't bother to advertise. cy@" edit: but I'll hold judgement on that one, actually, since I forgot they announced Final Fantasy X HD for Vita as well.
And you're right in the sense that Vita getting God of War/Uncharted/Gran Turismo won't do anything like as much as those franchises will do on PS4. Which is, again, another reason why PS4 isn't remotely in the same situation as Vita. Sony have long-running, decent selling franchises associated with home consoles which they can and will bring to PS4. They never established any handheld franchises during the PSP's life, so the best they can do for Vita is apply their home console franchises to the handheld market and hope that some of them do "alright".
