I think everybody in their right mind agrees that the PS Vitas launch line up was way better than the 3DS's but the 3DS had no competitor so it got away with it. Vitas launch line up was good but the follow up was and is extremely poor. Two retail games in the next 3 months in europe.

About Metacritic scores, I have stopped to care about them since I own the 3DS since it feels like there is a certain hate towards the device from certain sites that are supposed to be neutral. Lately there are always some hipster websites that need to fall out of line in a really obvious way. Look at Kingdom hearts. The reviews gravitate around a solid 80 and then there is this one hate bomb dropping a 40. Same with Mario Kart 7, Kid Icarus and Destructoid. I can tell you that NSMB2 will struggle to stay at 80%.


The good and bad thing about metacritic is the "neutal" sites giving bad scores, all three companies have these (Gravity rush countering your Kingdom Hearts) so it kind of evens out

and as for the two retail games for the next three months?

 

2. Madden NFL 13
3. Ragnarok Odyssey
4. FIFA Soccer 13
5. Silent Hill: Book of Memories
7. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz
8. Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
9. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
10. Assassin's Creed III: Liberation
11. Persona 4: Golden
12. LEGO The Lord of the Rings
13. Need for Speed Most Wanted (Criterion)

(ignore the numbering)

out of those 3,9,10 and 11 will move some units so it's not too bleak as people make out.

Please take notice how I dropped the little word "europe" in there.

 

Madden NFL 2013 - Even if it comes here in europe, american football is not very popular in europe. It wouldnt make a difference if this was a Bratz! girls game.

Silent Hill 31th October - more than 3 months away

NfS, ACL, PSABR, Zero Escape, Monkey ball - all more than 3 months away

FIFA and LBP are the two games I was talking about, releasing at the end of september, which is still about 2 months away. Those two games will sell like crazy and move some units in europe because people will be starved to get sth on their vita.

 

Edit: forgot Ragnarok and LotR LEGO. Ragnarok has no european release if I remember correctly and LEGO is due in early october but it's on literally everything, so not really relevant.



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.

Around the Network

PSV has had one of the biggest launch line ups in game history, there is no comparison.



Vita had a better launch line up. 250 is a really tough price point for a hand held though. They need better bundles with a higher capacity memory card included considering they are far more expensive than buying a SD card. I see the system price and the price of memory holding it back (mainly the system price).



taking in count your list
the 3DS wins easily imo



@ Chandler ... why .... why are you only counting europe?

and for the longer than 3 months... it's 3 months and 1 week  -_- all the games I listed are coming in under 3 months 1 week

Anywho we digress! the title at large is the launch window - not the future (which I believe can be discussed properly when TGS has concluded)

It don't think so. And a 4.4 Points better score means next to nothing.

The Vita had one big first party launch-game with "Uncharted", the 3DS only had an Ocarina Port, but if you like Beat'em Ups the 3DS had the better games. If you like Racer the 3DS had a good one with Ridge Racer. If you like Strategy-Games the 3DS had a good one with Shadow Wars. If you like Shooter the Vita had Uncharted and a Metal Gear Port, etc.

But it is useless to talk about the past. At the moment everybody agrees that the 3DS has the better games and that the Vita must show something this holiday season or the Vita will be another of the many gaming devices that failed on the market.



I don't agree with reviews since they don't agree with my view. So, I prefer to use the sales total to rate the games.



LOL metricscores are useless as a lot of reviewers are already bias against Nintendo.

The scores don't matter, it is what people like.



 

 

I thought from the title this would account for every game that was released for both systems. :(
Vita had the better launch selection for sure, but even then a lot were just dumb downed ports which are lesser games in my eyes. Compare overall libraries now and it is easy to see that alongside being over 100 dollars cheaper (when accounting for an additional 4 gb memory card), which is the most logical purchase atm.
