Great video, but this guy (is it you?) put Vita selling 4 million, he's the one predicting the future here!

lol I thought it was Turkish who made the thread


and lol no!

Im fine with 40€ games
the problem is that many games are 45 and even 50€

Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty coming to Vita in the next couple of weeks. LittleBigPlanet is out so is Uncharted and a bunch of other games. There's also a Bioshock game promised for the system.

Anyway I think what OP fails to see is that Vita owners love Japanese games just as much(if not more) than western games. Look at Gravity Rush. Got great reception from fans and critics. Look at pre-orders....that Persona game is doing extremely well. Much better than Assassin's Creed.

Can the Vita start outselling the 3DS? I say its impossible in Japan. Possible in the West but still unlikely.

Dunno, those games will not be that big in the U.S imo (specially AC with it's console counterpart), but there are some interesting tittles in the horizon, we just have to wait and see. I do agree that most PSP owners bought the system because of Japanese style games, so if those type of games don't come to the west (and heck even in Japan with lack of support) then we won't see big sales (at least software based) anytime soon.

Honestly, I highly doubt the Vita will be able to pass the 3DS sales in the west even, because I know WAYYYYY too many people who just LOVE Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon. Mario is already out for the 3DS and pushed it out of its "doomed" state when it first came out. Zelda was promised to come out for the 3DS (and the OoT 3D remake also increased sales by a lot). Pokemon will always have its place on the handheld game, and the 3DS one has yet to come. The West also loves Super Smash Bros, and that will have its place on the 3DS as well. I'm not seeing as much "promising" titles for the Vita that will contribute as much to sales. Recently, people HAVE been talking about the 3DS more.

So B-team spinoffs of popular franchises, then. LBP and Uncharted are pretty good examples of why that just isn't going to work.

They are $60-$68 in AUS for top 3rd party and all 1st party games. Considering our dollar is worth more than the US we are getting majorly ripped off. If there was no region locking, retailers would probbaly drop the prices to compete.

That's nice, and sucks to be you.

$40 bucks is still generally too much. Congrats on winning the pissing contest by getting even more jobbed, though, since that seems to be what you're going for.

No way. The Vita will be lucky if it can even come close to PSP sales levels in the West. 3DS will pick up steam during the holidays and the next time there's a price drop for it here in the West.

Remember... the original DS launched at a modest $129.99, and stayed around that price point for the duration of its life. When 3DS launched it was just as expensive as the Vita, and had hardly any compelling games other than 3D remakes of old N64 games. As soon as Nintendo finally gets around to launching the next generation of Pokemon games on the 3DS, it's game over for Sony and the Vita.
