Considering Vita is evaporating from the West even more quickly than the WiiU they may drop the Vita version - or focus exclusively on it? |
| cycycychris said: It's a shame that they might have to cancel it, but I can understand why. but at the same time, the port is already funded by the fans, so in my opinion, they should do a poll of the Wii U survey system selectors and see there opinion on making this version into the NX, since they are the ones paying for the port. Makes me wonder the future of the Vita version. Since the system is dead in the west and barely hanging up there in Japan. It will surely be discontinued in most area in the west in 2017 making the market a bit slim for it also... But I guess one thing going for it is that it won't have a replacement, but the available audience to buy it on Vita all depends on what type of support it will get through it final days. |
It's a strange one. We know Wii U is going to be all but discontinued by March 2017 seeing their shipment forecast for this upcoming year; the number of games scheduled for release beyond April 2017 and the scheduled release window of the NX. Vita, we just don't know - I suspect the system will be alive well beyond March 2017 in Japan; but the west is another story, I don't think there's been any 'official' discontinuation notice but equally there's very little stock left around as it is.
The other issue is successors - WiiU has one that it's logical to move to; Vita has none, so who knows where that audience will move.
With that said, if the WiiU version goes, I am 99% certain that the Vita version will be canned as well. Either you support legacy systems or you don't; I don't think one will get special treatment when the other doesn't.
