The painting is on the wall, software sales have never been great on PSV and it saw a steep decline even starting from such a modest level. How exactly do you expect good software sales going forward when even PSV hardware sales reached sub 9k units per week levels now? But it´s not just hardware, as we have seen according low software sales at the same time as well. Even a well marketed World of Final Fantasy looks to have barely sold 50k units first week on PSV.
About Atelier, it´s not like recent YSO predictions look very promising, they have the next PSV entry at sub 25k. The Rorona comparison is also nonsensical, that´s like comparing FF tactics to the main series, completely different games besides lose story connections.

Yeah, you are winding me up lol, I see it now.
Never mind! I shall not rise to this bait!

No, I´m not. I just look at the actual situation and available data, the trends are quite obvious. I just chose not to simply ignore them. While you chose not to explain how the the notable decline in PSV hardware sales won´t affect PSVs software sales.

Look I will say it again. Vita did not originate the idea. NEC did with TurboExpress. SEGA was second with SEGA Nomad these were both Console/Handheld Hybrids and Nomad could hook up to the TV. Sony tried but it was clunky. Switch is the first time I have seen the idea done well. The tech is viable and will probably have a decent price. I LOVE my Vita so not hating on anything. Switch has yes killed Vita in Japan,no doubting that. Sony does nothing but kill it December 2017 or early 2018. Vita still has momentum in Japan and that will carry it a little longer.
Sony should be more worried about PS4 in Japan. Think about this. Switch will likely have Dragon Quest,Monster Hunter,Yokai Watch,Pokemon and Shin Megami Tensei series plus possibly Dynasty Warriors if Nobunga is already coming to it. Switch will likely dominate Japan with PS4 in a distant 2nd. |
Really don't think you can say that remote play was very clunky considering how well it worked.
As far as PS4 comparison, I'd be shocked that a console would be able to outsell a handheld. That would be absolutely disasterious for Switch if it wasn't able to push past PS4.

PS4 is outselling PSV quite handily in 2016 hardware sales In Japan. PS4 looks like to be heading towards selling 2 times the ytd amount of PSV by the end of this year. Currently sales are at PSV 650k against 1.100k for PS4 this year. There´s nothing too shocking about it anymore since it´s happening in front of our eyes. About Switch, there just aren´t many informations about it besides, its concept, so it´s really hard to make strong predictions, besides the obvious thing that it will become the best selling system in 2017 in Japan, despite an atleast 2-3 months headstart nex year for its currently known competitors.
