I mean, look at its exclusives list: 1 - Assassin's creed (Spin-off) 2 - Gravity Rush (New IP, and it did well for the system) 3 - LittlebigPlanet 4 - Lumines 5 - Killzone 6 - Ragnarok Odyssey 7 - Soul Sacrifice 8 - Tearaway (soon) 9 - Uncharted (Spin-off) 10 - Unit 13 11 - Wipeout Then it has the ports and upgrades: 1 - Disgaea 3 (Niche) 2 - Dragon's Crown 3 - Mortal kombat 4 - Persona 4 (Did well for the system) 5 - Rayman Origins and soon LEgends (Origins much delayed port) 6 - Playstation All-Stars (New IP) 7 - Sly cooper As well as a tonne of indies. Like, a TONNE!. SO MANY INDIES! Its biggest strength is also its greatest weakness: its exclusives list is GOOD, but most of its releases are ports of PS3 games and indies. It really is a great system, I have almost 30 games for it already not including the downloads, but I admit that its future outside of Killzone and TearAway doesn't look good. Ah well, it's been worth the money to me. |
I just listed some things to help show why sales aren't as good as the 3DS. The 3DS has the advantage of having access to much bigger IP's (much of which are already established and didn't have to be created on an already low userbase) and relies less on ports.
