Forums - Sony - Sony’s Holiday Lineup Won’t Be Enough to Save Vita

I think it'll be fine apart from those 3 titles theres also Ragnarok Odyssey, Persona 4, Silent Hill: Book of Memories and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz that look interesting enough.

Monster Hunter in Japan. ;)

I still believe this will happen and that it will save the system there.


Me too. But that was something that was supposed to have happened a long time ago not in the best scenario in the spring of 2014 for a remake/hd version (MH4 will be milked until its first holiday (2013) for sure)! And people are happy with Shuhei Yoshida - he is stalling Vita a lot, imo, especially in this market.

Sony and vita will pay a very steep price for having a terrible year in japan. It's the easiest market to save, but it gets harder by the day. User base means a lot, and 3DS will grow tenfold this holiday and then the bomb will be dropped with MH4 in march. Seriously... the gap when vita launched was 3.3 million. It'll be almost 10 million by years end - and that's not a 27 million agains 17 million like DS/PSP... this will be 11,3 million against 1,3.

Seriously, what a lousy job.



Vita will do fine. Of course it will be no match for the 3DS but that is to be expected.

Sure, you can play Black Ops, Assassin's Creed 3, and PSASBR on the PS3, but can you take your PS3 on the bus/train to work/school, or squeeze in a game during lunch break, or at the bus stop? Portability it the key here; never before have such experiences been available on the go.


Hmm could of sworn I saw you bashing the Vita just for that exact reason o.O

Also....Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation isnt the same as Assassin's Creed 3, saying its a console experience is the same argument as saying Mario Kart 7/DS is the same as Mario Kart Wii or NSMB-Wii is the same as NSMB1/2. PSABR I agree and Black Ops is just l0l.

I don't remember doing that; I may criticise the Vita's current performance but I'm more positive than most regarding its future.

AC3 and Black Ops on Vita may not be quite on  par with their console counterparts, but they still look to be well above and beyond, say, the PSP versions of those franchises, so they're the closer to a true portable (current gen) console experience than ever before.

Been saying this forever - Nobody cares for consoles games on a handheld when you can just play them on PS3. Software created for Vita is the Key. If you own a PS3 or even 360 Vita is currently pointless *for people who are retarded and think all the thing offers is console ports...*

how about you actually buy one and play it before making baseless statements like that


Speaking of Retarded! who would buy a 250 dollar console ...hell anything that xxpensive just to try it? There is nothing baseless in my comment at all.

I don't Know... people who like to play games regardless its procedences or publisher... AH! And Nintendo 3DS embassadors! Only those retards would buy a 250$ console...

It's doing poorly so far, yes, but the PS3 also got off to a crappy start, and now look at it, it's a beast. Comebacks are possible. I don't expect Vita to outsell the 3DS or anything, but it certainly won't drop off the market without selling 20 million, like some have predicted.

Call of dutty in PSP sold in a bit over 5000 first week in usa and COD Desclassified had 12k.

sry to ask but what 12k does Declassified have ?
Also since the PSP has a much higher userbase, plus the fact that it was the only COD game on the system gave it decent legs. Something that most likely won't happen with Declassified.
First week sales aren't everything.


I think he's talking about pre-orders.

Edit: beaten

mh okay I was looking at the latest pre-order chart and couldn't find it so I was not sure where the number was coming from.


@small44

It will only have legs if: the game is at least decent and the Vita sells much more units than it does now.

As I said. It will be insanely hard to have comparable legs as the PSP CoD game above.

But even Assasin Creed Bloodline was a bad game but it`s sold well



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

Yeah that doesn't make you initial statement more likely though since it's tracking below Call of Duty PSP.

I Sometimes don't understande.. People complain if the games on portable aren't like on home consoles... and now complain about being too much home console like games?!... And Like someone stated above.. Best Games on 3DS are too much different from it's consoles counterpart.. Resident Evi, MArio etc., Monster Hunter (this game was originally a PS2 game), Kindome Hearts, and ETC...

And succes on PSP games like GTA series and Final Fantasy and recently Resident Evil on 3DS and all those marios etc games, proves that near Home console experiences on portable sells well.. Vita I think just now need more is promotion and marketing... and less DOOM articles... is like game journalist's hobby is to talk DOOM about Vita and SONY recently... Seriously... (And a Price Drop on those f*ck*ng expensive MemCards!)

And You can't say the console is 250$ when is already heavily bundle with games and 4gb memcards for the same price.. Madden13, Assasin's creed, LBP, and later: PASBR, COD:BOD, NFS:MW.. in Japan with Every body's golf and Hatsune Miku Project Diva...
