| Darwinianevolution said: If I had to think of a reason for it, I'd say the people who is still playing on the Vita are pretty much guaranteed sales at this point. If you've used the system for this long chances are you are going to continue to use it until further notice, so the sales of each installment are probably nearly the same every time. It's not a big reason, obviously games are going to sell better on much bigger and more active platforms, but it's at least a very safe bet. |
And why should the sales of each new installment be nearly the same every time?
Are the tastes of every still active Vita gamer the same?
Do they buy every new Vita game... no matter the quality or the genre or the price?
Doesn't it matter if they also have a Switch and play on both devices?
Will Vita players who also have a Switch prefer to buy the Vita version, although the Switch version offers a higher resolution, often better performance/effects, a better battery life (for less demanding games also running on Vita) and even a proper TV mode?
Less demanding third party games Switch also are often on sale, while Vita game sales haven't been for a long time... in most cases you get the better Switch version also cheaper than the Vita version. So the Switch version should be a no brainer for owners of both Vita and Switch.
