Simplicity and easy access to new players. That's what 2d marios are good for. I found multiplayer hilarious fun with friends tpugh.

Also i wouldnt say the effect would be the same, galxy 2 and 3dland arent that far away in sales, and 3d land hasnt been that long in the market.

Galaxy 1 has double the sales, but anyway 3D land came out after the 3DS had a larger install base. Uncharted GA was a launch title.

Never had an opportunity to play with friends, guess it'd be fun but I hear bad things about the bumping eachother. The orignal 2D marios were not for the learning challenged though, it was here's our game, run jump and have fun. New SMB was a tutorial you couldn't turn off with small bits of fun in between.

what are you waffling on about?

Galaxy1 has been 4 years on sale, 3dland already is at half of that without even one year completed, and 3ds larger instal base was achieved with the function of 3dland and pricecut, 3d land was a system seller.

Also most games then were more respectful to the gamers inteligence compared to this gen, but i see your point. Yet i found NSMBW gamplay enjoyable even with he constant "tutorial", it was too easy tough and music wasnt as cool as other marios, thats my grip with it.

Yeah, Galaxy is old now. What i mean though is the 3DS had more units out there when that launched than the VIta does right now. If a new big Sony IP came out this month, say God of War as a good example, and it was a bundle, it'd sell pretty well, crazy if it was with a price drop. To go back to percentages for fun the percentage of Uncharted GA owning Vita users is about the same as 3D Land owning 3DS users. SW sales show that the average 3DS owner has bought 2 games, while Vita is still only at 1.3 games. It's really early to tell much of anything.

I understand your point but also 3dland was a system seller, have it been a launch title, while not selling what it did now, might have made 3d sales a lot better, big userbase or not, because the Mario name is still strong, even more than uncharted or even GoW. And while porcentages are a way to see things, they are misleading if comparing both games since its obvious which has sold more. I think GA sales are good,maybe better if i knew psn numbers, but compared to mario is still far behind saleswise, quality wise...would be another story.

And i think it its to early to say anything about vita's sofware and hardware sales future too, but not to say anything about its current situation, and right now that one isnt good.

Sony should get original exclusives instead of games FROM the ps3.

It's #6 seller in Japan for SW, 70k but I saw an article saying it was 100k which could move it up the ranks. If I wasn't determined to get my Vita at launch so I could have it before vacation and get the 8gb and Super Stardust Delta, Gravity Rush would be the system seller for me. Aside from Uncharted, Gravity Rush is where it's at for must have titles.

Gravity rush, escape plan and unit 13 says hi.

Vindicated!! "but also because it [3DS] offers stronger IPs." and "Monster Hunter seems to be tied to the Nintendo 3DS at the moment, so Sony's next best bets..."

Totally align with my analysis of where...

HANG ON A MINUTE!!!!

There's no way a real analyst ever looks at anything other than USA performance. For them USA = the world. So an analyst who talks about Monster Hunter isn't a professional analyst... probably not even a real analysts. More like some sort of astute gaming fan who likes to rub Sony's nose in it at every opportunity.

Oh no, I've been Rol'd again.
