Forums - Gaming - 3DS or Vita. Which one will take Japan?

Degausser on 16 September 2011

People seem to put too much focus on exsisting franchises / games as what can be the driving software, when in truth all systems which are successfully normally do so off back the back of new IP's (or exsisting IP's that 'explode') that offer new, unique experiences or become megahits for whatever reason... Off the top of my head:

Wii - Wii Sports, Wii Fit
PS3 / 360 - Call of Duty
PSP - Monster Hunter
DS - Brain Training, Nintendogs
PS2 - Grand Theft Auto
Xbox - Halo
PS1 - Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo

Yes it's important to look at what franchises are on what system, but it ignores the fact that both the 3DS and PSV, if they're to be as successful as their predecessors, will have new games come through which in 6 years time when their next iterations come out will then make these lists of games that'll drive sales.
