So we count ports and multiplatforms now as games? I thought that in VGChartz, if it isn't exclusive and only on retail version, it isn't worth mentioning!


HTF are they not GAMES??? Total garbage. I guess all those games on on 360 and ps3 that are multiplatform are not games eithyer? Some people like being able to plat them on a portable.


It's really simple.  If I already have a system capable of playing Rayman Legends, why am I going to buy a Vita so I can play Rayman Legends?  Or Final Fantasy X HD, or Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, or PSASBR, and so on so forth.

The XBox 360 situation is way different.  Both consoles launched within a year of eachother.  So, when people were making the choice of what to buy, they likely didn't have either.  So, if I wanted to play Modern Warfare 4 I had to buy either a PS3 or an XBox 360.  From there, I'd look at exclusives or features I wanted.

The Vita on the other hand is came out something like 7 years after the 360 and 6 years after the PS3.  Most people in the Vita's target audience will have one of those two consoles.  If I have a PS3, why should I shell out 200-250 bucks to play games that I could already play?  If the portability is really that big of a factor to you, then buy a Vita, but for me, and many others judging by sales figures, that isn't the case.

What about who don't have a ps3?

If people want exclusive new ip why they don't buy Gravity Rush and  Soul Sacrifice.

The problem is most people who would be interested in the Vita do have a PS3, or at least a 360 which has a lot of the games. And if they don't have a PS3 they could buy one just about the same price (250 as opposed to 250 plus a memory card) if portability is not a big deal to them.  If portablility is a big deal to them, then you have the 3DS with a better library.  There are some people who are  better off with a Vita than a PS3, XBox 360, or 3DS, but that's a rather small amount of people.

I want some proof to believe this.


Uhhhhh... you want some proof to belief what?  That people interested in the Vita are GAMERS and that they probably have purchased a GAME onsole in the last 7 years?  That the 3DS has a better library?  That the PS3 has a better library?  That the PS3 is $250 and around the same price as the Vita?  If you need evidence for any of these things, just look to common sense and you'll have your answer.  Or better yet, look at the Vita's sales figures, and you'll see clearly that its library is not appealing.
