Bolded: Let's just say that you're right (although you've done nothing specifically to demonstrate you are) about handheld games being designed differently The group of people who will refuse to play handheld games for that reason are very smal, because the difference, if it does exist, is very small. Most people who aren't interested in handhelds feel that way because of the hardware, not the software. They'd rather play on a big screen with a controller. Just as handheld only gamers prefer handhelds because of portability and immediacy. When I said anything, I meant anything in terms of game hardware. Sorry if that wasn't clear. But I would disagree somewhat with you here as well. Software pre-orders usually predict the overall success for software much better than hardware pre-orders predict hardware success, yes. But hardware pre-orders still give a good idea of short-term success for consoles. |
I'll respond to your last statement first and mention the fact that this thread is about "saving the PS Vita" which is in no way a short term goal.
Now, as for the first point, the paranthesis goes just as much to me as it does to you. Just claiming something is a certain way doesn't mean it's true. You can say most people think this and that, but without hard data it's just speculation. So I think here's a good point to end the argument since I don't think we can find reliable hard data on this issue.
