| Chark said: OP, it sounds like they might also benefit from the decline of smartphone and tablets. There will be a point where these devices are more standard then sensational. Lower end smartphones are starting to become rather practical and in a couple years time things can change. Once the majority of users get used to having smartphones, and the affordability levels change further, they will be more apt to purchase dedicated gaming systems. The PS4's future is looking rather bright and the Vita will serve as a strong compliment to it. I think in 4 years it will be a different market for Vita and it will finish out respectably. |
hmmm.. disagree.. I think the smartphone/tablet market will continue to grow but more importantly it will change the precieved value of games.. Sure in the next few years the Vita will a cheap device but the games won't.. I don't see consumers switch from their smartphone/tablet gaming because of that.. the precieved value of a game in the eyes of the consumer has dropped.. there is no reason to switch from a device that gives you .99 cents games to one with 40+ dollars.. especially when heavy hitters like Madden, Fifa, licensed game like Spongebob, the Simpsons, Iron Man 3 and other popular franchises are releasing on Smartphones/tablets.. I won't be suprised of the digital games for the 3DS and Vita will go down in price a lot to battle that after more and more popular franchises releases on Smartphones/tablets..
Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)
