Forums - Sony - Sony: Dedicated Fans Keeping Vita from Getting Shelved

foodfather on 26 September 2013

Very confused by the reception of the Vita. I knew it was going to bomb but so many people seem to like. it. One of my friends hardly plays on his PS3, he prefers playing on the Vita for some reason.

How to Make friends In Dark Souls 3

Because they can play video games more

Honestly though for the Vita to be great it needs a redesign and those nubs fixed.

It's only been out a year, and will be linked with the PS4. Seems a bit early to me.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

I use my Vita everyday before going to bed. I might not always play games, but its a great device. I have been using it for skype aswell as i play DW8 and other games on PS3 with a friend and talk to him through the Vita with no need for any sort of headset. All this while sitting in the couch.

There are some pretty fun games aswell and the PSP digital games are incredibly cheap. If you missed something or didnt buy a PSP it perfect. All games go for around 7 euros. Vita games go from 15 to 35 euros. Its alot cheaper on the long term compared to the 3DS.

If I wanted FF4 the complete collection on the Vita, would I be able to get it for 7 euros?

Nevermind, I found it here at 19.99$.


If you were keeping an eye out, they usually have discounts for squeenix games. Its been going for 9.99 a couple of times.

In January, they had a great Final Fantasy sale: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/01/21/huge-final-fantasy-sale-starts-on-playstation-store-this-week/

Probably it won't be the last.

Europe isnt that far in the shitter where you cant find good deals on quality 3DS games.

 

The eshop is a bit hefty though.

 

Amazon is one of the places to get the best deals.

Look at this:

Lugis mansion: 32 pounds

Paper mario: 30 pounds

Mario kart 7: 31.95 pounds

Castlevania LoS MoF: 28.99 pounds

Etrian Odyssey IV: 32.65 pounds

Pokemon X/Y: 32.97 pounds

RE:Revelations: 26.49 pounds

 

Lets compare to Vita shall we:

Soul sacrifice: 32 pounds (released at 26 though and its a rare find now)

Persona 4 golden: 28.52 pounds

Killzone mercenary: 27.50 pounds

Tearaway: 19.99 pounds

Dead or Alive 5 +: 18.19 pounds

Sly cooper: 19.99 pounds

Uncharted golden Abyss: 18.45 pounds

 

Its pretty clear wich system is gonna cost you more in the long term. 3DS games hardly drop in price or are released at a much high price point.



Dr.EisDrachenJaeger on 26 September 2013

I've seen better sales in Germany mate^
But eallly 32gb cards for 80+ euros ? No thanks.

Shet I cant even find the vita anymore .

Vita's success is dependent on PS4 rp now, Not on the vocalness of fans. These guys are slicker than politicians lately. At least he recognises sony fan's strength is their ability to hype stuff. I haven't played my Vita in months.

Listening to dedicated fans is never a good idea. Nintendo learned that lesson the hard way with Gamecube. The die hard fans loved it, said it was great, while the average consumer was turned off. The dedicated fans are the ones that will buy it regardless in fact they already have. Its the people not buying it that they need to listen to.
