I like this guy far more than Patcher.

It's a surprise to read a correct analisys from an analyst. So surprising I could imagine that's a fake... Or there's a world where Patcher is a plumber.

A nice plan for Sony to sell lots of Vita's by an anal lyst such as myself

1 - Open the system to pirates. Not just simply open, butt make Vita a Vietnamese crack whore for them.

2 - Sell buttloads of hardware for doing that. Reach at least PS2 levels.

3 - Since PSN sales are secret, tell everyone it's selling millio... no BILLIONS of software every week. We'll never know, those assholes!

Vita badass!

3Dass is doomed!

I hate to agree with the guy but....it makes perfect sense. After checking the references, I have to say the argument seems pretty sound.

"Sony's pool of proven big IPs is small"

youch, doesn't seem like there's anything they can do, they already losing money on vita so no price drops for a while

Vita is the first Sony system I will definitely not buy. Well, unless it can secure a great FF6, 7, or 8 remake.

"The PSV is in direct competition with the 3DS and so far Nintendo's handheld is unsurprisingly the better choice. Not just because it has been out for almost a year longer and thus has more games, but also because it offers stronger IPs."

OPINION. I'll take Uncharted over Mario any day. I am a Sony fan after all.

"And if you own neither a PS3 or PSV yet, the PS3 is obviously by far the better choice."

OPINION. Some people prefer to play on a portable.(Japanese gamers especially). Some people don't have an HDTV and some people don't want to share their console. PSV is the perfect personal entertainment system Great alternative to PS3 once it gets more games.

"Additionally, pretty much all of the currently highly successful Western IPs are better suited to the big screen as well, so the same problem applies."
OPINION! This is what the PSV is trying to change. They are trying to replicate that home console experience on a portable.

"There was a possibility that CoD might not only have been negatively impacted by being yet another epic game on a small screen, but also by a lack of communication. Nobody would wear a headset in public and scream curses into the microphone"

-Doesn't a PSV have a microphone built in? You don't need a headset....Plus didn't he just say that most portable gaming is done at home?

QFE. (Toke the words right out of my mouth.)

Didn't I spell it correctly?

No, it's not. Do not try to confuse me. I took a quick glance at the wall post you made before I toke a sip of my water so I know.
