Forums - Sales - Global HW & SW UP! 5th May 2012

Honestly Sony should just drop the price, I doubt the PS Vita is helping sony get out of the whole there in. Maybe a Final Fantasy game on vita (other than FF X) i would buy a vita if they announced a new FF game on it but thats just me.

People are underestimating the Vita too hard. Obviously Sony will do something about it to make it bounce back up.

I don't expect Vita to beat 3DS, but I expect it to do well and be profitable for Sony (as well as keeping handheld marketshare from Nintendo like PSP did), which is all that matters - leading means nothing if one doesn't make $$$$$.

It's funny to see people going like "the VITA is just fine, just look at the 3DS" when a lot of people where saying "OMG the 3DS is thez doomz" when it was a a better position that VITA is rite now....

Funny


Who said that?

Speaking for myself, I never expected a Sony handheld to outsell a Nintendo handheld, especially not after the Nintendo one has been settled into the market.

I'll admit I did.  Of course, that was back when they were going to be competing at the same price point.  Nintendo knew it was going to be much stiffer competition had they kept it $250, hence the early price cut.  Sure it cost them them a loss, but it also ensures that the 3DS will remain #1.

You cany say E3 isnt gonna save Vita, everyone said the same for 3DS 1 year ago and now its almost at 20M so shut up.


1. price cut

2. the Vita is already a long way behind where even the 3DS was

3. dont tell people to shut up.


1. Vita won't get a price cut if Sony wants to be profitable.

2.  Of course it is. It's up against a Nintendo handheld. It will never catch up but it will pick up steam after E3.

3. Freedom of Speech. Ever heard of it?

 first guy says "shut up", second says he shouldn't say this and the third says it's freedom of speech to say someone he shouldn't use his freedom of speech.

THAT IS JUST AWESOME


:D

@Argh_College The best PSP game I ever played(and was interested in) was Birth By Sleep. Other games don't suit it for me. If I was to buy a PSP now, then most of the retail games would be gone(mostly because I shop at Gamestop and Walmart). And I don't know about buying stuff of the PSN because some of the "best" games are not there, espeically Birth By Sleep.

there is almost no games over here selling for Psp, not even much for Vita.


Vita is still new, so yeah, games aren't exactly flying off the shelf since hardware isn't either.

What good would that do?  Just bring Sony more into the red.
There's no point in getting people to buy the Vita if they're not going to buy any games.

So screw the price cut. What Vita needs is games.

It would help them sale systems for starters, and i agree it does need more games but what use is more games if they don't sale?

When Xbox 3602 came out there were alot of Call of Duty 2 on shelf and alot of bundles with the game aswell, i bought one of those actually.



Meh week overall, horrible for PSV and DS, but very good instead for 3DS, pushed by insane sales in Japan, where it outsells everything else combined.
