Forums - Sony - Do you think Vita had nothing to show at E3?

I hope not but the problem is that Vita might of not even got noticed if they did show anything much new. It's not an excuse in future events though, if you want people to make the most of the Playstation you need to convince them to buy Vita , you already convinced most people to buy PS4. Prove the doom sayers wrong at Gamescom and TGS.



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

I'm on mobile, and the quote tree is already huge.

It depends. If I'm reading what he said right. He meant Vita lacked system sellers at launch even though it had a relatively strong launch, especially in terms of quantity. The same case as with the Wii U. It was named the strongest launch ever by Nintendo fans. 2D Mario and Nintendo Land, plus strong third party titles. A lot of people had their doubts. They were proven right, cause even if your game is a system seller on paper (NSMB) and your system constantly sells less than 30k units a week, it means it failed as a system seller.

Maybe the sentence of small audience doesn't fit for Wii U, as the usual Nintendo bets, are popular, with high attach rates.

And as for the second paragraph we shall see soon. I expect Wii U to be a moderate flop overall. The sentence about blaming Nintendo only is a perfect fit. Having 2 not very development demanding games for launch, then a couple of minor games down the road (the fact the New Super Luigi U goes retail is a joke if you ask me) until Pikmin 3 comes out, plus more platformers, hd rehash of an old game and a karting game for holidays, that's just weak and Nintendo is to blame, especially considering that Wii didn't get a lot of support in the recent years and the same was true about 3DS, hence the huge emergency price cut, only then Nintendo stepped up their game with software for 3DS.

And noone should blame 3rd parties when they don't support a console that has the weakest momentum out of the gate since Dreamcast or worse. And it's only Nintendo's duty to get them on board, even if by moneyhatting (like with Sega and Platinium, that's a start) especially since Nintendo had a single most profitable generation ever from 2005 till 2010 with Wii and DS in full force, they made freaking mountains of dollars, that it seems they don't want to invest. I don't see moneyhatting 3rd parties on a global scale, I don't see opening new studios.
Also people are not to blame when they either choose consoles close in specs, with better libraries and cheaper, or when they will choose next-gen consoles, with a promise of a quantum leap in terms of advancement and a lot of variety thanks to full 3rd party support.

I expect a rocky holiday for the Wii U. The next-gen consoles will be in full force as well as their respective marketing machines. And I don't think Wii U's holiday line up can really compare to those even though it's one year on the market. That plus the excitement of something really new launching. Shortages can turn out to be a friend and we will most probably see them, cause the demand is big, for both consoles. We'll see if I will be proven right.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

But sadly they don't look like "big" games looking at them, maybe 150-200k each. Is that what the Vita needs?


I think that line pretty much backs up the point Ajescent has been trying to make this whole thread :P



When the Vitas worldwide game  reveal was a free to play game then yes I do believe Sony had nothing to show.



Everything they showed was already announced.

My thoughts was pretty much this: With everyone so focus on ps4/X1, no one would really care about anything else.

Nintendo knew this, that's why they didn't turn up and I believed that no matter what Vita showed, it would still get a bad rep and sure enough as always the case, people are still saying Vita (had/has) no gaemz!

Maybe this might change your mind.


Nintendo wasn't there?  Which video game company had the largest display area at e3 this year?



Stop hating and start playing.

I obviously meant presentation wise.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

You obviously meant to continue spewing the lies we've been hearing for the past two months about Nintendo's E3 presence.

They were there, they were loud, they received just as much attention from the media as they have received in past years.

Were they overshadowed by the PS4 and Xbone? Somewhat. No more than was expected. No more than they would have been if their conference had been a live one instead of a pre-recorded one.

Hell, coming out of E3 (before today's Xbox 180), the Wii U had a great deal more support from gamers than the Xbone had.

Then In my opinion Nintendo won. They did not have all the bells and whistles like MS and Sony presentation, but at least they were on topic throught the entire 40 min presentation.



Irony: I've bought 8 retail Vita games but don't have Vita console... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
