If it was doom and gloom, it wouldn't be saying things like:

"Contrary to speculation around the industry, the PlayStation Vita isn't dead in the water."

"Let's not forget that it's only been released in one territory that represents well under 20 percent of the worldwide gaming market."

"The Vita's launch lineup in North America is outrageously impressive..."

What the article does discuss, is the disadvantages the Vita has at the moment, both with regards to marketing, pricing and competition. It's a relevant subject, seeing as the Vita has infact put up disappointing sales. But the article also says that it's still early days, and nothing can be said for certain from these numbers.

We can agree that it's not a complete analysis, and to get the full picture we'd all have to wait some time, but it's an analysis none the less. And frankly, I agree with much of what is concluded. Requiring expensive memory cards for people to play certain games is not a good idea, when the system itself is already a pricey product, and a bundle with a 4 GB memory card would solve that issue completely. Marketing should be coming closer to launch though, so I don't see a big issue in that.

you make it sound as if those statements by default not make it a doom article or something. It's still a panic driven mumbo jumbo. the mere fact none of these articles look in depth at the Jp situation is almost shocking...almost. The device is still LAUNCHING for crying out loud. Marketing push should be aimed primarily on the holiday season not in March. As Sony have said the first year is all about the core gamers, really no need for too much marketing for them.

let me rephrase then, a poor analysis. One that you might expect from Patchy. State some obvious beaten to death issues, no in depth analysis, throw in some rambling about how no one struck up a convo about the psv and bam! IGN presents..an article!

Don't get me wrong, the article is filled with sensationalism, but it brings up some relevant subjects none the less. The way Sony is handling memory cards, for example, feels like it's trying to hide the real cost of the device from the consumer, while breaking promises that could easily have been fulfilled. 

If the article is supposed to be a way of finding the factors keeping the Vita from being succesful, it is indeed quite poor and practically irrelevant. But if it's supposed to be a way of communicating to Sony what kind of improvements consumers would like in the Vita package, it's much more relevant.


but that's the problem here...the fact that customers are not happy with mem card prices is common knowledge and have been mentioned in dozens of mainstream articles now. But the article brings nothing new to the table. Not in content nor in thinking. The article TSA did was much better at least compared to this, that article was bascially saying hold your horses for a sec! which is absolutely true. I have yet to find one single mainstream article that discusses the Jp situation properly, not a single one. I was actually thinking of doing a detailed thread here on the matter but the way some are coming out en mass to bash the device with snarky and spiteful comments made me change my mind.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the situation is rosy...but it's not dire either. The gen is just starting and if anyone is capable of a comeback..that would be Sony. History has shown that much at least.

I guess I'm a little tired of all these articles you know...

some new (relatively lol) info time

Info on the now axed ZOMBIE Mode for Wipeout 2048

During development of Wipeout 2048, Sony’s Liverpool studio prototyped a new mode for the game, called “Zombie”. This unfortunately had to be cut from the game. In Zombie mode, you would play against “evil” vehicles that try to destroy your ship. Here’s concept art for one of these ships:

Think of Zombie mode as a survival race. When the race began, you’d alone on the track, but soon enough, the zombie racers would show up and begin to ram into you. While you would receive weapons to defend yourself with, eventually the zombies would blow you up, so the goal was to try and survive as long as you could.

 

More and more ships would show up, the longer you’d survive. Eventually, you would face a zombie mothership. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, Zombie mode had to be cut from the game, but  Studio Liverpool hint that it isn’t “completely” dead, which likely means we’ll see it revived as DLC at some point.

 

Zombie mode wasn’t the only new mode Liverpool were testing. Other modes were being prototyped as well, but didn’t make it into the game either. The modes that are in the game — aside from regular races — are: Head to Head, Speed Lap, Zone Mode, Time Trial and Combat. Each one has its own separate online leaderboard.

new game for psv incoming

"The creator of Disaster Report 4, Kazuma Kujo, may have suffered a small setback when his game was canceled following the earthquake in Japan last year. But it hasn't turned him off of game development for good: he reports via Twitter that his new studio at developer Granzella is hard at work on a new title for both the PS3 and the PS Vita.

Kujo says that the game will be downloadable, though the PSP isn't planned to be supported at this time. It's a completely original IP, he says, but wouldn't tell Twitter followers in what genre it would be.

Granzella is working on at least two titles for the PS3 and the Vita, and this is presumably one of them. Kujo also says he'd like to make a war strategy game at some point, similar to the old R-Type Tactics games, and that he knows followers are looking for a Steambot Chronicles sequel in the future as well. Let's just hope production for all of these goes a little smoother than last time."

http://www.vandal.net/noticia/64011/monster-hunter-podria-llegar-a-mediados-de-ano-a-ps-vita-segun-nikkei/ Is on Spanish so use Google translator or directly Chrome to translate it..

It Says that nikkey says that a Monster hunter game for Vite would come mid this year... it seems plain rumor but a game in developing or a presentation on the E3 arround that time could be possible...

I'm With You... if this title: "Is A Perfect Storm Sinking the PlayStation Vita?" it's not for trolling of create fanboy wars, what's it?

 

On the other Way... http://www.siliconera.com/2011/12/26/can-you-defeat-king-of-orcs-and-king-of-giants-in-ragnarok-odyssey/

This title Ragnarok odissey looks very good, it come to Japan Feb,2 and it have GameArts seal of Quality or i hope so... I liked Grandia II... Slowly the Vita will be filled with games I think that it needs are some atractive Packs like: PSVita +4gb MC for the same 250$ that the WiFi version cost... I'm sure that most of people are going to buy 8gb or more MC so a 4GB MC as Gift would be great... the System would be ready to go since you bougth it...
