Since that has nothing to do with the thread:

Gee, I entered VG charts in 2010 - just visited past that.

Was amazed at the first week of MH 3rd. Had really a very faint idea of the existence -and importance - of MH before that. Started really admiring from afar not the just the game but the phenom it was in japan - until I really understood why it happened. The game never came over. 3G was announced - became a hype wait.

BTW, read a few posts before. Since you weren't exactly very polite with me here, I won't find it for you, around first page or so. But I said "the day Vita gets MH is the day I get a vita". Can be before or after that or never, but this is a certain day, as it'll put the system back on track.

No vic, the problem (not withholding the fact that soul sacrifice is shaping up to be a new monster hunter which you dont care about) is that similarly to this thread, and how it actually DOES apply, is that you dont care about the great games that vita has or is getting. Youre just interested in games the vita doesnt have.

Actually I'm interested in support, as I believe it goes hand to hand with sales.

Do you think I like 3DS current western sales (hate them) or 3DS initial sales - I bought mine last december - when price cut + Mario made its miracles, MHs were announced and 3DS had an epic TGS (they announced DQ support there too) - without even being on TGS.

See the differences here? Exclusives (really important ones), exclusives (big ones) + great TGS + price cut = sales surge = support

Hmm, where have I "haven't" seen this before. Oh yeah, on the system that had an underwhelming TGS, not big games (really important ones? pff!), no price cut and now expects support?

BTW, one thing I really dislike in games is blood. Really! One of the few games I slightly badmouthed here once was God of War (on the Warren Spector's despising such games thread). Very rare for me to say bad things about games. While I think SS is the best thing sony has made for the vita so far (did you even read the thread?) I'm still on the fence because of those initial concept arts - like that horrible pic with the guy pulling off his own spine thruogh his mouth, I won't even look to post here -  and general "grotesque" feel of the game. So stop telling me what games I wan't or not without well, knowing. And I'm also skeptical about its capacity to put Vita back on track - releasing it this holidays, like everyone was imagining would have helped a lot

You have a lot of standards vic.
Vita is just not the system for you.
What else don't you like?
Jrpgs?

I see these kinds of threads on 4chan all the time and its not only lame, it's bias.
people start threads saying "give me a recommendation for psp that isn't a third person game, or rpg."
They pretend, as you do, that your requisites (citing this thread) are fair and balanced.
The problem is that these people account their own preferences as a metric for success as you do.

As I've proposed, many consoles don't rely or reuire big third party games early in their lifetime. People don't often buy consoles based on third party. They buy based on library, which is your first mistaken assumption regarding success.

Ps3 didnt. 360 didnt. Wii didnt.
in truth, vita has a good lineup coming out, but it doesnt meet your metrics. That's the problem. You're not a part of their target audience. To someone like me, their lineup is great and it doesnt matter who makes it.

Your second problem, is your assumption that a lack of third party games slated for q3 means sony is doing poorly with the vita, notwithstanding that most of those big games were pushed up to q2 instead.
Your next mistake is assuming that third party non exclusives not being announced at this time for q3 means that none will release, period. It further ignores that sony first party and ports are stacked in those months.
In two months, this thread might not even be factually true anymore. It's a very time sensitive thread.

There's a lot of problems in this thread, but it's not qith things i've been saying, it's with assumptions you've been making that in some cases haven't even been historically true.

OMG, Why do you guys bother? Vic sees what he wants to see!!! Let him make up any crazy criteria and ignore all the support he wants with them. There's no point in arguing.

So the Vita doesn't have virtually any third party exclusives for next year? Which means its up to Sony to support the Vita next year. *shivers*

Oh and let me just respond to your point of "i got a ds in december after mario and a huge tgs and mh".
A first party game, a nonexclusive third party game (also going to be on wiiu) and a pricedrop. I can do this all day vic.

It's funny, cause PSP was made of third party exclusives. So, Portables do, as they don't share as much games as especially 360 and PS3 (not even close to that, too. You know how I feel no love at all about the wii, and how Nintendo first party fills as the important exclusives quota and how it was a revolution to gaming habits.

Well, ok. Ok, lets use more examples, while PSP was selling great in japan,  almost ready to receive its most imporant game (MH - which was announced 1 year before actually making to the stores), beating the DS merciless in third party support (DS biggest TP game was something like Dig-dug, not kidding!), Vita is breaking a new low in sales (right this week - almost end year) and ready to receive as its biggest game a port of a PSP game about japanese girls in bikinis while facing a very strong 3DS - and you think a system doesn't need big exclusive games? Well, let me think the opposite, all right?

My point is, that situation can't maintain itself like that.

I know you can. It won't make it right though.

1 - First party game that helps the system - in the end that's the whole point. Games that will take Vita out of the hole, but since sony first party is not known to be able to do that, I used third party - the exception is soul sacrifice, which we don't know yet.

2 - Exclusive for 1 year (not timed, as no one knew about the Wii U Version). Not really exclusive too, as it's more or less a tri updated game.  But there's also MH4 announcement, but you forgot, right? DQ games too. Did you know - DQ spin-off sold more than all vita games combined in japan, at least till 1 month ago or so. But it's still an ok situation right?

3 - Price drop? So? I never said it's bad. In fact that would help vita a lot. But it needs to happen. And since it's almost sure it happens in the second semester, as 95% price cuts do, it's not stated in the OP - as written there with all the words

Big games take a while to get ready too. This was supposed to be vita's time of harvest not plantation.

It will be interesting to see how this all develops over the holiday season.
