because so far I am not convinced it will perform otherwise.  Almost Everything they've shown and talked sounds just like the same PR and content they have promoted the vita with.


Its called not being a handheld. Sony is much better at selling hardware than they are at convincing the general public that they should buy a handheld. Sony was the first to make the gaming console into a media hub and the Playstation took off ever since.

Because Sony is the most successful home console maker of all time. 

ps1 + ps2 + ps3 destroy nes, snes, n64, gc and wii. And that's with a decade less time and fewer consoles. The PS2 outsold the wii gc and n64 combined. Your only hope is that the ps4 is priced over $399. It's already game over for the wii u. People that bought the wii aren't going to be fooled again. 

What does nes, snes, n64, gc, and wii have to do with anything.

 

The topic is about PSV and PS4.  I just re-read the topic again to make sure and he did not mention anything besides those two systems.


Works like this.

Sony= Console > Portable

Nintend= Portable > Console.

This is how its always been check the sales. Nintendos portables have always been their moneymaker whilst the consoles have been the money maker for Sony.

1. All Sony studios or all big Sony studios are developing games for it.
2. Third party support.
3. It's a PS console.

The success of the PS1/2/3. The PS4 is expected to follow in the foot steps pf its predecessors and once again become a 100 million hardware seller, be the market leader and have a 10 year life plan.

Because it's a console and it will get a ton of 3rd party support. Also, Sony's consoles sell better than their handhelds.

The ps3 hasn't yet passeed the PSP so that is up for debate. You're only as good as your last console, game, song, anything really. Agree with the 3rd party support. It will do better than the Vita, How could it not.

They lost market share from ps2-ps3. That point is moot. The ps3 is no where near 100 million yet and the ps4 and 720 will destroy the sales of the ps3. Look at the Wii right now.

It will do better than Vita. Sony has a much better reputation with home consoles than portables, though it has been tranished somewhat with the PS3. We will see to what extent with the PS4. One thing Sony has in its favor is its cinema style games fit much better with a home console than on a small handheld screen. Its games are meant to be played on a large HD set with surround sound and in long sessions. Handheld gaming doesn't really mix with any of these qualities, which is part of the reason Vita is performing so badly. It is theater-style gaming on a pocket device. Though I think PS4 is going to come with its own issues, the main one being price. While I think PS4 will out perform Vita, it won't be by as great a margin as most people assume.

a well established fan base and a well established level of 3rd party support.


This does not make any sense  its not out yet it has no fanbase  it is a different thing as a PS3 so you cant just say its the same fanbase.   And there is no well established 3rd party support yet     its on its way but its not there yet.

Just to let you know   there was Vita third party support  COD etc   and then they "gave up".  And just rushed out the games  so they dont waste any more money in developing it   thats why the games ended up shitty.
