| spemanig said: Yeah, because that worked so well for the PSP Go. What the Vita needs to do is stop catering to hardened hardcore gamers. Seriously. Stop making home console type games for it. Well, correction. They don't need to stop that. They need to start making and advertising more games that appeal to the mass market FIRST. No real average person goes "Oh gee, you know what I really want to play on the go? Killzone." Sure, there's a niche market there, but what they really need to do is make games like that stupid an totally copied Sony dogs game. Or LBP. Make games that make sense on a hand held FIRST. Then spew out the hardcore crap people with just buy on their PS4 later. Seriously. Release a Spyro exclusive game under the "Skylanders" brand. Make a Sly Cooper for the thing. Make a Crash Bandicoot game for it. Minecraft is a good start. Maybe a music rhythm game. Maybe a sim. There's a common thread amongst this, right. MARKET IT TO KIDS AND CASUALS!!! Seriously. Stop trying to cater a handheld to jaded gamers who will never care about it. Make games that cater to kids and casuals FIRST. Then when it's selling well, you can pad the library with hardcore edgy titles that the 1m people who buy handhelds for that crap will enjoy. And what ever that killer app is, they need to advertise the hell out of it. But they won't do that. They'll continue to think that Killzone or Uncharted will sell it. Only god knows why. That's why it will fail. People think Nintendo's out of touch? At least they know their audience. I don't want the Vita to fail, but seriously it has no chance. Especially not with the new 2DS now releasing at $70 less on the same day as the second most powerful video game franchise of all time. |
