Yeah, but the only diff is that Sony can't handle a system w/o 3rd party support... Unlike Nintendo, Sony doesn't have franchises to fill the holes left by 3rd parties...

Although Sony does have strong franchises like Gran Turismo, Uncharted, God of War and LittleBigPlanet. 4 very strong franchises, but I do agree that Nintendo has more recognizable characters.

But that comes from slapping their characters on absolutely everything that possibly was going to be seen. Mario has been the biggest whore in gaming. Been everywhere.

Too big posts :D

Well, let's say this

Post 1: DS was a disruptor and had first party games that changed the game in ways even the best Monster hunter game couldn't. Stop playing semantics here - you know pretty well I said third party games in this thread because Vita would benefit more from a, let's say, exclusive Final Fantasy, than a Killzone. So unless you can prove me Sly Cooper can be a 23 million seller like Nintendogs was, I'll stick naming the games Vita needs the most "third party", ok? Either way, it's pretty obvious it's "big games".

Post 2: Ok, Vita is okey dokey. That explains how it's selling astonishingly low. Lowest week in japan. Incredibly low in US. Rumors/evidence (still undecided) of being overtracked. Missing forecasts like a maniac - november 1st will be third time - and I don't think it'll be the charm! Well, I gave a personal theory, at least. And not just that, as that theory is not to explain past sales, but to try to predict what's next, and that is, continuation of the status quo.

More spin and strawmen.

1. So you said third party simply because third parties have bigger name games?!? Wow. I am very surprised you just said that. But it's just as interesting to note that in this very paragraph, you are now shifting along your OP. It's not third party games, guys. He just meant BIG games.

2. Okey dokey? Who said that? Not I. What I am saying is that your specific timeframe and metrics don't qualify as anything I'd call scientific. The truth is I've been waiting SPECIFICALLY for that time, because there are 4 or 5 games I want to get and need to decide between. This is why I'm saying your metric is wrong, because I know there are some potentially big games in there...it's just that none of them fit your prescribed metric. I don't think you CAN predict the future with a metric like that.

What you CAN say, and what I WILL agree with, is that Vita needs more games. It has SOME games coming out, but it's going to need a lot more, a truckload more, and it's going to need big games, and a pricecut.

The difference between my assessment and yours? Mine doesn't warrant a thread to get myself attention.

How can people read tone from written text???

I am angry at you!

You say angry, but I would imagine that maybe you are just being sacastic? Maybe just combative? You could be actually be very happy and not angry. Lol. (although I'm not laughing out loud)

Why are you trying to read the tone when you're said you can't read tone?

To prove it isn't possible.

No. It's not not possible. You clearly read that I may or may not be angry.

Except what's under discussion here isn't 3rd party support, but specifically single console exclusive (not sony exclusive), non expanded port, 3rd party games appearing specifically post christmas, during really one of the slowdowns of the year during which few exclusives, if any, ever are announced or released.

Only Mario (and some of the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom) have been in a lot of games. Can't think of any other Nintendo character that have been in so many games of different genres.

OP does have a point though, Sony doesn't seem to be supporting Vita very much. No AAA game developer is making games for it, its all B-teams or F-teams like Nihilistic O_O


Guirrella Games, MediaMolecule, Project Siren and Japan Studio aren't B-teams.

I am not going to get into a long winded debate or discussion of Nintendo placing their characters everywhere they can fit them.

TV shows, movies, console, handheld, arcades, board games, trading cards, McDonalds toy deals, Panasonic CD-i, plush toys/dolls, and many, many more other product placement.

No. It's not not possible. You clearly read that I may or may not be angry.

But couldn't tell whether you were or not. Therefore, not able to read the tone in typed words.

@Tridrakious

That doesn't change anything! Mario not only means fun, but also quality and dedication! I don't see anything wrong if it's done the way Nintendo does it w Mario. I'm having a blast w NSMB2 and I can't wait for NSMBU!!!
