| MikeRox said: Well, they can't afford to continue seriously over-estimating the sales for Vita. It'll destroy developer confidence in their future figures, particularly for any PS4 projections. Their best bet is to go with a worst case scenario. Then if a price drop and the odd significant release does boost sales, revise upwards. Makes far more positive news than the other way around. Even 3DS having lowered projected sales earlier in it's like led to all the DOOMED crap for it. At the moment, the key part for Vita is sustaining relatively healthy softwaresales. With PS3/PSV dual releases being known to sell better on Vita, they must be pushing some seriously impressive software to hardware ratios. Generally handheld consoles have awful attach rates. |
I sure hope you're right about this, Mike.
I've come to live with the fact that Vita is never going to be a mainstream system. I'm enjoying the indie push on it. But I still want to see some 'home console experiences' on it in the future and my first thought when seeing the 5 million prediction was "I wonder if Golden Abyss 2 & Gravity Rush 2 are the last full retail titles we'll see from Sony on the Vita".
Tough times. I have high expectations for E3 that I suspect will probably not be met.
