Right now Vita owners are really hardcore Playstation fans or gamers who just love Japanese games. Therefore, that's one of the reasons the Vita is selling so bad in the west, especially in the US. Western consumers prefer generic shooters (Call of Duty, Battlefield, Titanfall), action games (Assassin's Creed, Infamous), sandboxes (GTA, Saints Raw) wrpg's (Skyrim, Mass Effect, Dragon Age), and so on. Vita has, I think, just a couple of them, so I don't really think that right now it's attractive enough to the self proclamed "hardcore gamers." |
Oh man, would I be happy if Vita got such games!! I mean, I fail to find time to play the games I already have, but this is EXACTLY what I want to get in the future. I want a GTA, InFamous, I want a TES game, a Witcher game, I hope the next Borderlands comes our way as well, I'd love to play Diablo III, etc.
Also I think that one problem Vita has is that the games come is such limited numbers. When I go to the shops, there are almost only the same old games available - Uncharted, Lego Batman, Rayman, etc. All old games. If all the new releases actually hit the stores in reasonable numbers, that would draw people's attention.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
