Who cares? It's the same weird, John Lucas style triumphalism we got during the Wii's peak. Which is great if you play sales instead of games. But the 3DS is strangely lacking in third party Japanese games vs. the DS, while the Vita hasn't really suffered as much as you'd expect. I suspect that smartphones are eating the 3DS' lunch moreso than they are the Vita's.

We've seen time and again that the Vita punches above its weight in software sales and that install base sizes don't really matter. There's no game that has flopped on the Vita that would have sold well on the 3DS, and there's no game that has done well on the 3DS that couldn't have done comparable numbers on the Vita. The same people who get off on laughing at the Vita are also the first to grump every time a new game is announced for the Vita and insist that it's just further proof that all third parties are in a conspiracy to "get Nintendo" at the expense of their own business. Motherfuckers be crazy.


haha well said!

thanks everyone :D I was starting to get a bit annoyed with some comments/threads here ...just got a urge to respond in kind with similar threads (and god knows that would be easy as hell) but decided against it. Good to see everyone's opinion on it :D 

 

On a different note: 

In Akiba's trip 2 they have included over 130 shops from Akihabara!

At least once in my life I want to visit this place 


There is another thread about Vita needs help in NA/Europe and the "No games", especially in comparison to the mighty 3DS thing started creeping in again.

So I said I was fed up of the myth and that Vita had enjoyed more critically acclaimed releases in 2013 than the Vita to which I was told, I'm entitled to an opinion, but a more critically acclaimed release schedule was just "wrong". So I decided to do a bit of digging and the results were more slanted in Vita's favour than I anticipated...
