i also want you to think about this IP thing and Vita not having a system seller. the so called system seller is a myth cause there's no guarantee the game will sell the system, cause if thats the case GC would have sold better cause of Mario who has been a system seller in the 3rd 4th and 7th gens right along with Wii sports being the bigger seller of the 2.

system sellers come from nowhere and are all about appeal and you can't say not one Vita(or 3DS)game isn't appealing to some. every game has the potential to sell and fail a system no matter how popular it is.

the 3ds can have external chargers as well, plus the option to replace the battery exist, third party support is moot as both have a whole lot announced. post the price and the op will either add it to the pro or con

plus I can't fathom that the new pinabll hall of fame won't come to both, plus the 3ds supposedly has contra which is the only other game I care about anyway. i'm almost positive it will

only the first block of comments is real lol

anyway I bet they'll end up just like the psp and ds,  hopefully with a whole lot less piracy. dito but i think the sells will be closer not that it matters.

Maybe better wording could be "big name third party exclusive(s)"? You can't ignore that something like Monster Hunter 3G and MH4 as not being big games for the system, barring they are actually exclusive (for the time being, they are).

agreed but theres still no guarantee MH4  or Monster Hunter 3G will be system sellers. you understand my point right?

 



Let's look at some sales figures of systems before Monster Hunter releases in Japan (since MH is really big over there).

Monster Hunter Tri (released on August 1, 2009)
Wii the week before release - 23k
Wii the week during release - 94k
Wii the week after release - ~47k

Monster Hunter Frontier Online (released on June 24, 2010)
360 the week before - ~2k
360 the week during release - 17k
360 the week after release - 7.6k

Monster Hunter Freedom 3 (released on December 1, 2010)
PSP the week before - ~76k
PSP the week during release - ~328k
PSP the week after - 152k

I think it's pretty safe to say (I checked to see if any other big releases were released during those weeks, but didn't find anything concrete) that Monster Hunter moves systems in Japan, at least.

lol i'm not disputing the sells. never mind your missing the point just forget about it.

I understand that there's no guarantee that they will be system sellers or not, but if a game can get a dead system, like the 360 in Japan, to sell more than 8 times its normal week, there's going to be high speculation that it will push people to buy the 3DS. agreed

If that's not your point, then what is?

ok i must have missed something in your last quote, and yes that was my point i'll look at  your previous quote again.

ok i see the sells more then doubled we're good and thanks for the reply and being so cool.

Is that a third party solution? I guess I'm always wary of third party peripherals for anything, especially after going through some bad PS1/2 third party memory cards.

I still think I wouldn't list a third party accessory for a system as a PRO or CON, because we know that third parties make all kinds of accessories/peripherals for systems.



MasterVG71782 on 28 September 2011

Let me rephrase what I said now. Third party accessories/peripherals aren't a PRO unless there are a lot of reviews/word about it being very good/reliable (I'm thinking maybe 50 reviews or so). Unless it's something that everyone needs to own, then it wouldn't be listed.



MasterVG71782 on 04 October 2011

Added the PRO of an unlimited 3G data plan for the Vita for Japan. I would think that there would be unlimited data plans for the US, but we still don't have details yet on anything for the Vita outside of Japan.

Since I prefer RPG its Vita for me. Beside, 3DS has blockbusters, but in total, only a handful. I prefer more good game over a handful of blockbusters. Particularly considering those blockbusters (see all mario and zelda title), doesnt interest me. With that said, even if they would be of interest to me, I still would prefer more good game over a handful of blockbusters.

I feel much the same at this point in time.

Personally, I am very excited for the Vita's game line up. They have a lot of RPGs in the works and have a good mix of action, fighting, strategy, and racing games lined up.

I am trying hard to like my 3DS, but I still only have one game for it; I have scoured the game library for something to buy thus far, but even the best of what is on the market is money better spent on regular DS or PSP games.

I feel like I am waiting for 3 Blockbuster 3DS games to be followed by a long game drought, much like it was on the Wii.

Mario Land 3D, Mario Kart 7, and Paper Mario 3D all look fun.

Perhaps someone could point me to some upcoming 3DS games that could compliment those?

I actually sold my cosmo black 3DS a month after release lol. I might buy another one later on though, depending on RPGs. I did re-purchase a Wii just for Xenoblade. But like you said, outside of Nintendo IP, the future isnt so green for the 3DS. Luckily for Nintendo, their usual IPs and monster hunter will be more then enough to make 3DS an enormous success in Japan, but not in my book.
