PS3 still definitely has legs in it. It has a large collection of great games, plays blu-rays etc. With a good price drop, they can capture more sales from casual purchasers looking for a new toy to entertain the kids(but don't want to drop $400 for a PS4-X1). The PS3 has been holding a 50-60k baseline for a while without a price drop and any new significant games. I think it still has a good two years in it. The Vita on the other hand... I don't know what went wrong there. They have the library. Killzone, Wipeout, Uncharted, Injustice, MvC3, Minecraft, Gravity Rush, LBP, Metal Gear collection etc.It perplexes me when people say the Vita games are all indies/portswhen the 3DS's main draws are basically ports of old gams(Ocarina of time) or ports of Wii U games(Smash Bros/Mario Kart). Is Pokemon that big of a system seller? |
Well OOT is a port. But mario kart and smash are not ports, they are different games in the same series. And saying that those three are the main draw really downplays the the library on the 3ds... People would rather play console games on a big screen comfortably on a couch, as a vita owner I have no need for downgraded ports.
And yes pokemon is that big of a system seller, it can almost singlehandedly prop up a handheld, just ask Sony.

Fair call on Mario Kart and Smash being different games of the same series but then Killzone Mercenary and Uncharted GA are also considered different games of the same series rather than ports per se.

IMO most of Sonys IPs just don't have the pull Nintendos do. They lose a bit of spectacle too which is more of a selling point with sonys IPs. Uncharted is about over the top set pieces, preferably viewed on a big screen with surround sound.
