Vita isn't going anywhere. Software support is great now an will only get better, plus psp and ps1 games and ps2 hd collections. It got more games than you could shake a stick at. Don't be fooled by the haters.


Sorry, but what does this even mean in this thread?

This is a thread showing historical data.  Whats your problem with it?


It was a responding to someone and because i was on my iphone i couldn't quote him. I have no problem with the thread, I only have a problem when people think the vita is going away and theres no games.

I probably missed something, but why does it stop at week 40? 3DS is further along than that now...

The Vita is doing Time Trial and is racing against the ghost data of PSP, DS and 3DS.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Heh, great analogy

Too bad there's no items in time trial... vita could use a mushroom.

Vita needs all the mushrooms production of one year.

Call of Duty, AC are mushrooms you could say. Good or bad, we'll know in a few months!

Yeah, they could be either mushrooms or a useless banana peel.

Or maybe a Lightning Bolt that will shrink all other competitors

Wow DS was lagging behind PSP pace?! Amazing stuff!



PSP was a beast - it was made to obliterate the competition.
DS literally had zero third party support. Nobody put their chips on it.

I think he is just referring to the large amount of hate the system is getting, could easily have nothing to do with this thread so don't be so defensive. You must admit you are very critical of the system yourself though so maybe it isn't any wonder why you responded to this post like that.

As for what Mmmfishtacos is trying to say is that despite slow sales the system is receiving a lot of support from 1st party and some support from 3rd parties is trickeling in. Aside from some big names like EA, Activiison, and Ubisoft Japanese publishers will start appearing soon after having waited out to release PSP games, ideally they would have supported Vita earlier but they are very tight with their money. Once they show support Vita will do very well in Japan.

The system is making money for Sony and consoles like that are revenue sources that they will want to keep around so they will keep putting out 1st party titles and 3rd parties will jump aboard aswell. Having low sales in the start of its lifecycle is a poor reason to not purchase one, very self fulfilling. A system doesn't need to be the number one selling system in order to be successful or supported by publishers.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Show me a single post (just one) where I am critical of the system... the actual system, not its sales or how Sony is handling it?

While you are searching you will see posts where I praised its launch line up as one of the best ever, I also think the hardware is excellent. 

 

 

By system I don't just mean the hardware and games. You seem very quick to dismissing the system because of its sales and will often jump into conversation to twist a knife in it by mentioning the low sales. If you like the console you should probably try harder not to sting it so much. It might not matter on this small scale but if you choose to argue the good qualities of the system you could encourage sales, even by a little. Rather your comments tend to be viewed as a reason not to get the system, wether that is your intention or not.

Side note, have you bought one yet?

3DS seems very similar to DS. Slow start but cut price had the same effect og touch generation games! And 3DS XL increase the speed... obviously we don't have to ignore the good games we have starting from  2011 last quarter...

Even with the increase, 3DS is selling a tiny amount compared to the big DS years, >30 million

Very true. The 3DS has already brought out the big guns the DS did. Now all that's left is the to see if the 3DS can continue the trend regardless, and what new phenomenon could make that come to be. Japanese games being ported over to the west, home console like western experiences coming to the 3DS? Both unlikely, but still only time will tell, and there could be something else.

In other words, the big guns of the DS are not the only ones in existence. There may be others. The other question is the how the market reacts to these offerings, and how the market trends work (some things work at some era, and the same things don't work in another).

Correct, nevertheless I'm looking more at the trend than at the maximum value reached; and imho we've to consider the effect of MH4 in Japan and what we could have when a new Pokemon 3DS will be ready...
