A simple google search seems to result in this being heavily posted throughout many forums and was not call B.S (which usually false statements get called out pretty quick). It was apparently a tweet to a response about Vita not selling as much as 3DS in it's first week or something along those lines. 

The video where he states PSP2 being DOA doesn't suprise me. The man has flip flopped more that Mitt Romney.


I did the research, the problem is that i couldnt find the original tweet. Besides, sounds like that tweet came before the 3ds price cut and then someone just quoted several months later.

Thank you Patcher, I was worried about Vita, what a relief Vita isn't doomed. Sad for 3DS though.

I believe one of the articles stated it was his response to a tweet about the 3DS selling more first week vs PSV. However there are no links now so it makes it hard to determine when exactly it was posted but due to it being a topic on a fair amount of sites, if it was inaccurate at that time I'm sure someone would have called it out. He also could have deleted the tweet. I found quite a few gaps in his tweeting history.

his opinions can flip flop like obamacare. it must be nice being an analysts, kind of like a meteorologist where you can get it wrong and still keep your job.

to each his own, its obvious at this rate, but then again if some think wiiu can be successful why cant vita? besides fanboy brain damage?

Sounds logical. From a hardware perspective 3DS does a lot of stuff a smartphone doesn't yet(double screen, 3D, resistive touchscreen). The Vita however relies heavily on its hardware power and its touchscreen as main features. Features todays smartphones have already eclipsed. Aside from the buttons and the underused back touch pad it has nothing to offer compared to better equipped and more versatile smartphones.

From a hardware perspective, 3DS brings nothing to the table at all and would have been DOA once Vita came out. However it has software people wanted to play and so they bought one anyway once the price was right.

Double Screen... DS had that so no compelling reason to upgrade.

3D has been done on smartphones, it bombed so they stopped doing it (LG Optima 3D or whatever it was called).

Resistive Touchscreen is an outdated technology. That smartphones phased out from 2007 onwards in favour of multitouch.

Dual Screen is perfectly possible on a smartphone. They'd just need to have a black bar between the top half and bottom half of the screen. Why you'd want to do that know... well you wouldn't hence they don't for the most part. You would also get much higher clarity of image on any mid-tier smartphone. The 2DS only has 1 screen. They've just put a plastic mould across it to split it up.

The 3DS offers nothing from a hardware perspective that would explain it's success. It is purely that people want to play Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Zelda and Mario games on it.

The Vita hasn't delivered any software that has appealed in this way, which is why it hasn't sold as well.

Mobile gaming is eating out of a big chunk of potential buyers for both systems. However the 3DS has provided a more compelling argument for purchase regardless so far.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

You claim it's fake yet you don't provide the link? Was covered in quite a few forums and I didn't see anyone calling it fake.
