when you think about how good the DC was this is really good news for Sony, the PSV might even outsell the N64 and gamecube


I think you missed the part when 

 

PSV worldwide sales = DC japan ONLY sales. 

PSV is better because it's selling worldwide unlike the dreamcast which mean Sony is winning over Sega, also the PSV is already the second best selling handheld this gen which isn't a small feat.


I sure hope this is meant for sarcasm rather than spin; as it is quite a pathetic spin IMHO.

If the Vita dies now, we'll never stop hearing about how it was the greatest handheld of all time.

The Vita will become the Kurt Cobain of video game systems lol.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I always thought MHP4 would come to the Vita after they announced MH4 for 3DS. But with such a small userbase, I wonder if Capcom will even bother anymore.

Not to mention spreading the base over both consoles.  Would be best to just keep it on 3DS now that they moved the base over with MH3G.  But you never know...

The same could've been said about Resident Evil 4 though, and this is Capcom too.

In RE4's situation, it made sense because Capcom was going from a small userbase to the behemoth that was the PS2.  It just made economic sense.

From 3DS to Vita is going in the opposite direction.  I think there'll be some kind of spinoff (there was one announced/released already, IIRC) or rerelease (MHP3rd HD).  But hey, stranger things have happened.  I'm not saying it's impossible, just unlikely.

I'm not talking about the PS2 port, since MH4 hasn't even released you can't compare to that yet anyways.

I was saying that for MH to go to Vita would be like how RE4 went to cube after the series thrived on the PS.

Keep hatin on vita when black ops declassified drops and more cross play games come out the vita will sell. Funny how you mention the dreamcast. I remember the guy at "eltronic boutique" back in the day telling me it was going to kill PS2. I laughed so hard in that guys face saying bro you serious. He was like oh ya its gonna kill ps2 you'll see. We all know the rest lol. What people dont realize is sony is an institution in gaming its worldwide. We will see what happens when christmas rolls around and then talk Vita sales. You mean to tell me when a COD game drops on a handheld like Vita no one will buy it? Theres alot of people who sit at there jobs and kids who play online on the road etc. To play a real Killzone game (not psp version) and a COD game has never been done before on a handheld. Let declassified drop and then we will see how sales are then.

Okay, so you laugh in a guy's face who predicts stronger DC sales to PS2 sales, and then call OP out on posting actual figures on the sales situation of the Vita while equating it to DC performance? How glorious.

I witnessed that scene 10 years ago... The guy you laughed so hard at was so devastated he commited suicide soon after that.

He would be 14 now :(



Maybe Microsoft should take advantage of the weak hand-held market and jump in. Just kidding but on a serious note I'm still holding off on a Vita until i get a Final Fantasy game or something similar that can push me to buy it.
