| eFKac said: Well it's pure guesswork, but I think that with a post price cut Vita this holiday, some people would buy a Vita for an exclusive AC, or a exclusive AC, KZ, UC, LBP combo. Now AC is out of the equation. One of the very few 3rd party exclusives of a popular Western series, that also was of decent quality. Vita doesn't have much going to warrant a purchase for it for a gamer that is not interested in big Japanese franchises but rather big Western franchises. Of course majority of those interested in AC already bought a Vita for Liberation, we don't know if all of them. This also is a pretty bad precedent, now some gamers may wait until they will buy a Vita for a 3rd party exclusive (if there will be any) cause there is a chance that they follow the Liberation path and end up on bigger consoles with improved graphics and/or some other additions. |
The bigger problem for the Vita is, now that Killzone is out, there is nothing forthcoming for that audience anyway. And people who prefer those kinds of games tend to be vocally hostile to handhelds in the first place because of graphical specs, so they have always been kind of a lost cause. It's very unlikely that there are appreciable numbers of people who know or care that Liberation is coming to XBLA/PSN and who now won't buy a Vita because of it.
