PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I am sorry, but you are wrong. 

Then again, this thread is about the Vita and it's future, not what IP's Nintendo have made.

This is a Vita thread, why start this? But congratulations, this thread will now fly high! Woo-hoo!

 

(and I'm already sorry for adding it to my VGChartz Buddy)

So Gravity Rush and Soul Sacrifice are not unique and all first party nintendo games are unique!!!

Even LBP is more unique then Mario.

Did I say they weren't? No. 

And Nintendo First-Party games are unique because you can't get them on any other console. Soooo, they are indeed unique.

Now let us get over this Nintendo Comparison.

Yes they have. They just haven't been that succesful (excluding wii sports and wii fit) with them as Mario.

PSVita does have unique games. They just don't seem to have caught on with the market as well as some would have hoped.

People say psvita should have system unique new IP to succeed but it's seem it's not true ,bestsellers games in PSP are spin off not new unique IP it's the same thing for vita.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise

That list is actually pretty decent. I get the feeling more games will be revealed soon enough.

 that 8month period where the 3DS literally had no games worth buying other than OoT get to you.


But even in the period after launch with only a few new games, the 3DS has much higher sales than the Vita.

The Vita hard- and software sales are way to low to return costs for good games and that is the whole problem. If this doesn't change soon the Vita has no future.


I was purely referring to its library. You stating the 3DS sold well with a poor library only makes the average videogame consumer look like an individual that isn't interested in videogames, which I don't approve of but seems to generally be the case as of late.

If all the Vitas heavy hitters come out including whatever is announced at Gamescom and TGS and sales don't improve then sure it'll be a failure, but to claim its dead or dying as of now is extremely premature. The attach rate for the likes of Uncharted and and P4G and smaller niche titles like Ragnarok Odyssey and Disgaea 3 show that the device can move software despite such a small install base, so I doubt developers will pull out of making games for the thing, which is the only issue owners should be concerned about.

I think this week in Media Create a 3DS/PSV multiplat actually sold more on the Vita by 100 units, i'm pretty sure developers take note of these occurrences so I wouldn't worry too greatly about the Vitas immediate future.

I would argue the high attach rate lies in the fact that people are starved to get something to play on the vita. At least thats the case with me. I have 4 retail games right now and I would only own 2 if I would go by personal appeal only. I wanted my purchase to be justified and bought for example Unit 13 and MGS HD despite the fact that I'm not really into shooters and that I already own Snake Eater 3D. Also about Time Travelers, I can imagine that this game is pretty far down the list of "must have" games for the 3DS when you can buy monster hunter or pokemon instead. On the Vita, the game might be more attractive due to a lesser amount of high quality games.



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.
