I get Vita ads all over the internet now. Not got TV so dunno about that, albeit I saw some Vita ads for the Lego games a while ago.
Once the iPhone app store begin to mature (about 2008) in North America it was basically over for the PSP and subsequently the Vita.
Nintendo lives on the strength of their core brands (Mario, Pokemon, etc.) and the kids who need a handheld market.
There is no other handheld market in the West. Period.

Now to see if they work. I know the 360 is pretty dominant in the UK compared to the PS3, if I recall, but how do the handhelds tend to sell there otherwise? Is it a Sony or Nintendo zone?

I remember the PSP being pretty big here, but that just might be out of the people I know. We need numbers really.

Because that also used Passion Pit (Sleepyhead) and they're one of the best bands ever, along with one of the best IP's made in a long time, it was just so full of win! I wonder if Sony could afford to cut the price of the Vita by just £20/$30 and bundle a memory card too (Even if it's only a 4/8GB), since surely they're making TONS off those memory card prices... I also think more colours would help too, I'd love to see red and blue Vita's, I imagine they'd look pretty, lol. They also need to hurry up and get some of their other big hitting franchises onto the console too by next Christmas, I'm thinking a new God of War (No idea when it'd be set... maybe a spin off where you play as Deimos?) and a new Gran Turismo (Although at the rate Polyphony Digital work, I reckon this won't be out until 2014-2015 lol), and maybe pester some third parties into making exclusives, such as Rockstar making a Grand Theft Auto: San Adreas Stories or something, or just set in a new location altogether, and we definitely need to see Final Fantasy Type-0 released on the Vita, I mean, Square Enix trademarked it in the EU... why would they do that if they weren't planning on releasing it here? (Something else too, I want to see Ragnarok Odyssey come to the EU, but money wise it probably isn't worth it for them...) Although the Vita is doing pretty bad at the moment, I reckon it'll pick up eventually, although I doubt it'll sell as well as the PSP, which, compared to the DS wasn't too great, but if you don't look at them as competitors, it did extremely well, but yeah, I don't see the Vita selling as much for some reason, but I guess I can't make that assumption until atleast 2-3 years into its lifespan... |
yeah agree with you on the mem card thing, just make it like the original and have a psv value pack, not sure if you got these really anywhere else in the world but yeah they had the basics you needed to get started with a psp back when it launched so you knew you weren't going to have to buy anything else immediately outside of the price on the box to get playing games.

Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive
Cut the price to $199 with a 4 GB memory card. I would buy one in a heartbeat.

I understand it's a profit center, but you're now sacrificing long-term sustainability for short-term profit--this is almost never a good business plan, and if the PSP should has taught you anything, PSV can survive on just Japan...if you give it a fighting chance by pulling the plug on its older, well-heeled-but-doddering-and-squandering-the-family-fortune, brother. 2. Get some big names on the system, pronto--2013 for God Eater 2 and Gundam, both of which will be on PSP and PS3 respectively, is *not* the way to go but, well, let's be honest: that's all you really have to work with. 3. Cut the price and make damn sure you schedule your big releases one on top of the other to generate some actual momentum and not propagate the slow, N64-in-Japan, semi-death spiral its in now. North America: 1. It's over. Pull the plug. (Really. It's over. There is no coming back from the disaster in NA. The 3DS got there first, and even it's not setting the world on fire--there is no room for a distant second this time and, even if there was, the 3DS is, against the laws of reality, occupying that slot already.) Europe: 1. I'm an American--what's this Europe thing again? |
On Japan:
That's a pretty sensible plan. Japan has been PSPs lifesblood. Lots of great exclusives and all kinds of RPGs, I figure if they just kill the PSP then devs can move onto Vita and start moving units.
On Merrkuh:
Yeah, its looking that way, I might pick one up if they decide to liquidate, but until the price drops I am not touching it.
On Europeland:
Ah, yes, Europe, well, at one point it was this place with the Pope, a guy named Napoleon, and Little Ceasars pretty much ran things. Now they are all broke except for Germany, who is running the show. Which is funny because they lost two wars trying to take over Europe and now its being handed to them by Art Lovers, People who for some reason speak Mexican, and Dudes who used to touch boys. Oh, and there's Italy, where they run their country like a soap opera, bad politics, good pasta. Oh, and they have these islands off of their west coast where people speak American with wierd accents.
