I think Sony will do what they can for the Vita.

But keep in mind that Sony's first priority will be and should be the PS4. Secondly, third party games haven't done well on the PSV so we probably wont see too many third party AAA titles announced for it.

So i guess in the end it will seem as if Sony are ignoring the PSV but in reality they can only do so much.

Call of duty and Assasin Creed does well other 3rd party game are just late port or remake ,EA is the worst  3rd party on vita they had  release the  same games 3 time fifa soccer,fifa2013 and fifa 2014 are the same game


I'm pretty sure COD didnt do as well as Activision would have liked. Same goes for AC with Ubisoft.

The reasons why third party games havent done well on PSV is pretty much irrelevant at this point. The games havent sold well and the system hasnt sold well, therefore they wont support it as best they can. We will probably continue seeing late/crappy ports and inferior home console spin offs.

In order for Sony to get the PSV going again they are going to need to get software that sells well and also moves hardware. This will entice other devs to put more effort in and have a bigger presence on the console.

I think Sony will ignore it by introducing software no one wants. Vita tried to replace the smartphone, but couldn't.

i think thats why drive club is coming out on PS4 so Sony/PD can make GT for Vita. Makes sense to me.

That would be too good to be truth. I still think GT Vita will be released after GT7, as the latter probably will spend some years in development so they can know how to push the PS4 to its limits and deliver a masterpiece of a racing game to it. The Vita version will probably be like the PSP version, released only merely to fill the console´s GT gap. 


or we could be looking at a promotion for cross play/remote connectivity.


Being able to play GT7 via remote play would be cool but standalone GT game for Vita would be even better. I don´t own a PS4 atm anyway xP.

me either but i will when the price is right.

The vita cod is not made by Activision and is a bad games it does well for a console with a such low install base,Ubisoft said they are happy with Assasin Creed Liberations sales.

Psvita sale are so low because 3rd party has not support ,spin off would be enougth to save vita,i think Assasin Creed and cod are the only spin off games all the rest are late port.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Not too sure what your point is here :?

No vita game has sold really well. None. Not 1 game. This doesnt entice publishers to give full support for the console. Spin offs and ports wont save the Vita. They need software that is specific to the console and specific to the handheld gaming experience.

Also activision is still the publisher of the Vita Cod.

Ubisoft said they are happy with the sale of  Assasin Creed Liberation so how the hell you said none of the games sold well Call of duty is a really bad game with a small budget i'm sure Activision got a good amount of income.

Fifa 2013 would be a million sellers if it was not the same game as Fifa Soccer same for Fifa 2014

Late port will not save vita but spin off can save it and i'm tired to hear about games better suited on handheld and other better suited on console Uncharted is console like game,lbp is better suited to handheld but Uncharted outsold lbp by a lot.

Sony does not care about the Vita. They've made that perfectly clear. The Vita is now a Playstation Now device.


How do you explain  Japan Studio  creating more games for Vita than PS4 or PS3 if sony doesnt care ?

They care about gamers , a game doesnt need to be a big system seller.


How do you explain the almost total lack of advertising, the lack of stage presence at big events like E3, the general lack of software for the console (Killzone and Tearaway being pretty much the only big titles to come solely from Sony), and the overall lack of concern.  Look how Nintendo reacted to the 3DS's struggles, then look at Sony's reaction to the Vita.  Sony simply doesn't seem invested in the console's future. 

It's factually wrong, sony is invested in the console's futur, a console is meant to play games, good amount of games coming in 2014, they make games for it and ask fo games to 3rd party, so they are invested.


I'm talking about games support, only important thing for a gamer and you talk about advertising...

I dont think Nintendo is a good example seeing how they react to the Wii U's struggles, they dont support it more than Sony support Vita in fact when you look at 2014 ( and they have much less 3rd party support coming )



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

well in 2012 Sony's E3 Slogan was "PS3 fuck yeah!.. umm whats a Vita?"
in 2013 Sony's E3 slogan was "PS4! fucks yeah baby!! its sooo good we dont have any other gaming machine to support!"

so yeah, they will probably be like the past 2 years.



Considering I just got my Vita, I sure hope to see some serious support for it from Sony at E3, but unfortunately I fear they will once again give it minimal focus like last year's E3.

Many games on Vita sold well if you really look at the sales and compare them to to the equivalent on PSP( Ys Celceta, Persona for example) , in fact, Japan games sell pretty well on Vita, even new IPs like Gravity Rush ( sold more than any other new ip on PSP ) and Soul Sacrifice so it's wrong.


Obviously, little games will have little games sales, middle games will have middle games sales, big games will sell like big games ( uncharted sold 1M, good attach rate for a game given for free) and low budget games will have low budget sales ( COD, assassin's creed, both were low budget but they had great sales, almost 900k for ac vita ( ubisoft said they were happy with 600k) and for a smartphone game, COD sold very well ).


Japanese publishers understood that games sell well on Vita, this is why it's getting more and more support.

MH would obviously sell like hot cakes on it.
