Vita is not vital(lol) for the enjoyment of PS4 WiiU is not vital for the enjoyment of Amiibos(will be a base for 3ds too) Ps4 came when vita was alreadly very low Amiibo will came when Wiiu will be pretty low Psvita as acessory was a aftertough Amiibos is a aftertough Sony really tried to convience that psvita as acessory could be pretty cool(but we know that is not enough to justify a brand new purchase of >100USD) Nintendo really want to convince that amiibo can be a game changer experience(but we know that is not enough to justify a brand new purchase of >200USD). The most similar situation: PS4 in no way put a end to the biggers problems with Psvita, neither amiibo with WiiU. I see that the main objective with PS4 was not push PSVita, and nintendo said that amiibo was a way to push WiiU, but is anyone convinced by that declaration? |
I would argue that the Amiibo's will have an effect on Wii U sales. How much? Too hard to say! I don't understand the vita comparison with the amiibo's. Th vita as an accessory to the ps4 didn't help sales because: 1. The price point as an accessory 2. Outside the close gaming community - the feature wasn't advertised heavily.
The Amiibo's have many things going for it!
1. Price point
2. shelf space
3. character brand
4. accompanied with a massive game in super smash bros
5. A strong marketing by Nintendo (almost a given at this point)
6. The wide appeal of toys
