zorg1000 said: PSP was a handheld that sold over 80 million, Vita will be lucky to sell 1/5 of that hence why people expect it to get a substantially shorter life. Nobody is saying Vita doesn't have good games, just that it lacks big games that will have a meaningful impact on hardware sales. Who's trashing it? If anything the whole point of this thread was to trash on the Wii U using "facts" to make it seem like Vita is better. |
I understand that, however software sales have been pitiful outside Japan for most of it's life (especially once it was hacked) and other than the odd XSEED digital release and FIFA, it hasn't really had any releases at all in the West since 2011 (hell Square didn't even deem it worth translating FF Type 0 for it sale have been that bad for the latter half of it's life). But still clung on until last year. It's the viability of releasing software on the platform that determines it's viability.
Btw, not sure if you're aware, but the Vita already has software announced for release in 2016.
Plenty of people say the Vita doesn't have good games on here. I created a thread last year sharing some of the games I was enjoying (many exclusives) and even that was trashed because they didn't count for one reason or another. Thats the reason Vita owners call the software "No gaemz" now too.
The thread was created by the OP to state based on the shipping figures etc, they didn't think the Wii U will ever catch up to the Vita. That's not trashing the Wii U on a sales discussion site. There are plenty more threads saying the Wii U will annihilate the Vita. The initial predictions being that Wii U would be ahead of Vita by Q1 or Q1 2013.
