Forums - Sales Discussion - PS Vita to be the number one selling console/handheld in the new gen

Depends on if Nintendo manages to fuck up their 2D Mario, and pokemon, and Capcom fucks up Monster Hunter 4 all at once.

Otherwise this will most likely be a repeat of PS2 vs Xbox, Vita being Xbox.

If you count out third party bias out of the equation of course. And Vita using off the shelf parts that will come down in price quickly.


HUH? Peopel make like PSP bombed its near 80 million and still selling. It's a lotm more complicated then that, Sony has more software suppoirt day 1, and you know third paqrty exclusives are coming.

PSP was poorly launched and was poor for years yet managed 80 million, its not that far fetched with the right software. But laugh away, time will tell.


Actually PSP was decently launched, namely in Japan. Japanese market is key, and Vita isn't doing well, in that market. Not saying sales are a good measure of quality, but I will say right now to think Vita will be number one is laughable, based on everything we know RIGHT NOW!

people didnt think the ps1 would outsell N either, never say never. The vita has the chops to do it. Its an amazing device thats getting great word of mouth.

They could with Home Consoles, they can't with HandHelds. That is the only problem for them.


They can't? Thats totally false, anything can happen, Nontendo is beatable like they were in the console market.  It's not impossible at all.



You're back! Cool!

To early to say yet.

So that means Badgenome is Jewish Mother? Just when I thought this day could not get any more stranger. 



 

Monster Hunter and Resident Evil are firmly established on the 3DS.

Theatrhyhtm and Bravely Default indicate that Square Enix will support the 3DS at least as much as a FFX port suggests they'll support the Vita.

There is no reason to believe Call of Duty will be as big on the Vita as on the 360, especially when the PC and Wii incarnations of the game do modestly in comparison.

Gran Turismo was not that big a hit on the PSP, and there is little reason to believe a Vita version will do much better. And the game hasn't even been announced yet, so that will be late in the Vita's life.

Fifa was never that big on the PSP. Once again, why would things change?

The early reports of the 3DS causing headaches disappeared when people actually started playing the system. .

Games like Resident Evil: Revelations prove the 3DS has graphics comfortably ahead of what 7th gen handhelds can offer.

Vita ports are possible now. But what about in two years, when the consoles are all replaced? Suddenly, ports aren't very easy anymore.

Nintendo has done alright with new IPs on the 3DS. Pushmo was a major hit, and games like Steel Diver, Rolling Western, and Kid Icarus prove that they're willing to go in relatively new directions.

In short, I think you're completely wrong and your reasoning is unsound.

But it's nice to see you.

What I said has a side of joking/sarcasm to it. It is near impossible, Nintendo just knows the HH Market that well.

It's pretty clear... Sony got their foot in the door and established market share., and are much betetr positioned the long haul. The vita is also incredibly easy to work on for developers, and PSN integration will help move units.
