Forums - Gaming - RUMOUR PSVita to change name

Me and my little cousins call it the EPD (emergency play device). Whenever we are bored and have nothing to do we play allstars, modnation, or lbp. Ironically this is my babysitting device, but its also for my remote play :D

I'll buy it for remote play, unless I get VR first.

It should be "PS Mortis".

Why mortis? Mortis is the genitive of mors (=death) in Latin. psVITA is either nominative or ablative, so it can only be psMors or psMorte.

I know it's a joke, but still. As you can see I'm super fun at parties.

Well, it all depends on what kind of party.

Turn it into a phone and market it as PlayStation monobile with support for android apps but like Nintendo, the obvious is never an option for Sony.



Life to death. You might be on to something.

Low sales of life...but higher sales from death?

This might be genius.



Althought this is a troll thread, it brings a valid subject of discussion: How the Vita stands now with the PS4 release?
Well, I played a entire mission of METAL GEAR SOLID 5 yesterday lying in my bed with PSVita remote play, it was quite a nice experience and, althought sometimes the Remote Play doesn´t work that well, this is a neat function.
But, in the end, the Cross-Buy feature is much more appealing, afterwards I played Lone Survivor in my Vita for a while, which is a PSPlus free cross-buy game that also work on my PS3.
So, being able to play these indies in both consoles is a very interesting feature.
But, in the end, the Vita have to hold on his own, with it´s own games. In that department, it is ok, not great, but ok.

The thing is, if sony is selling each Vita with some profit, it is really fine, the handheld can hold on its own for 5, 7 years, like the PSP, with I still play from time to time, because of amazing RPGs like Star Ocean and Valkyria Chronicles.
But, if Sony is selling the thing at a loss, this is a very stupid strategy because the system will never be a hot item or anything. It will get to 20-25 million at most, but this is still ok, as long as the business model is healthy and, to be honest, very humble in the forecasts.

I like my Vita, I use it much more than my 3DS, mainly because Sony gives me free games on it. But, I bought 5 games on my Vita (Fifa, Uncharted, LBP, Persona 4, Silent Hill) and only 3 on my 3DS, so, giving out games paid off, because made me love the handheld enough to also buy some interesting stuff.

So, keep the name VITA but do no lower the price, instead, keep it at a level that Sony can have profit on each unit, and then, let the games do the talk. Step by step, RPG by RPG, the library will get as sexy and awesome as the PSP´s library was (and still very much is).



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
