NoCtiS_NoX said: PS4 has a shortage currently. It's clear that they are discontinuing the OPS4. Clear out the stock and release a new model. As for Vita, It needs a new type of game that will revitalize it. This niche games has done it's part already or a price cut (afaik there's isn't one yet). For 3DS. it will sell again when Pokemon Sun and Moon is out and I think it will be the last push for the system For Hatsune Miku. It's a bomb alright. Nice 2nd week and hold for Tales. |
Agree. The upcoming games cater to an audience that already own a Vita. Unless a new IP (or smaller game) surprises and as you say revitalizes the system, I don't think any game would be able to move a lot of hardware. Except of course if Vita got a mainline entry in Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest or Yo-kai Watch as the far majority of those audiences still haven't bougth a Vita. But with Nintendo's lock on these 3 this gen, that probably won't happen.
Though looking at the Japanese top 10 best selling PSP games, there are other system selling games still lacking from Vita's library.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a new Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts game for Vita though.
TGS will be interesting in that it'll show us what Sony intends to do with their handheld division. A no show is also useful information
