I agree that developers refusing to get involved (and Sony's failure to incentivise them to do so) is harming Vita and that some big profile titles would of course be helpful. However, what I was getting at is that the market may well have changed and people may not care about console gaming on handhelds any more I suspect that PSP was helped by the novelty not only of a portable PlayStation but the novelty of having games like GTA and MGS in your pocket - having had a console that can do that, it may be that people are waiting for something new again. This isn't the only example - I'd argue that WiiU's failure is because it isn't as innovative as Wii, and in offering the same as PSP but better, Sony may have missed a change in the market. I think therefore that Sony need to look very closely at the existing fanbase when choosing their next big games - a look in this thread shows you that many Vita fans are JRPG fans, as shown by the sales of Persona 4 Golden (830k by my calculations). Therefore I suspect a big Final Fantasy would do better than another Uncharted or Killzone type game. Vita's lineup has already shown some ability to attract such fans and building on that to attract more people like that would be easy than building a new audience from scratch with big AAA games which may not even make all that much of an impact |
I see any reason why the market changed,smartphone gamers are peoples who never played video game before smartphone became popular.
The audience of the Sony handheld are people who want to play popular playstation games on handheld and the sales of games on psp prove that best selling games on psp and psv are console type games,did you see how many people was angry because the silent hill game on vita was different from silent hill game on console.
Where do you thing psp audience goes to home console then why they didn't buy a ps3 instead of a psp why they would change their idea or do you think their goes to smartphone, i doubt they goes to smartphone because AAA games are better in handheld due to graphics and smartphone lack true button.
I think the reason why psp audience didn't buy a vita is because tens of ip was on psp and they are not on vita.
I'm sure a Final fantasy game will sell more then Uncharted because final fantasy is popular worldwide unlike Uncharted.
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
