Why do you guys in USA hate Vita so much?


Because it's library is lacking

 

Not in quality, not in numbers, and not in variety. 

 

It's lacking in awareness.

Vita had indies,niche japanese games and late ports.

for indies people prefer to play them on pc or smartphones,isn't indies more expensives on vita then pc and smartphones,as for niche japanese games they only attract a small audience that are fans of Japanese culture and for late ports people already bougth them on other consoles.



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

The funny thing is, those are the games that the Vita needed when Sony's western devs were still supporting it at the beginning of its life cycle.

Now the Vita has them, there is no western support even from Sony themselves. Sony never struck a good balance with the Vita.

It was western centric at launch that didn't have any middleware games to bridge the 1st party titles, then it became an indie platform without any western triple A support and now its a niche Japanese game device with indie ports and a microconsole child that nobody knows. lol!



What's are those type of game Vita needed

Sony did not. Western developers did.
Vita got a lot of show time in TGS and Sony just showed everyone it's doing what it can to make it keep alive in the West at the PSX event. Lot's of deals were made and showed for Vita there.

My bad, I only meant SCEA and all the studios that are part of it. Of course, we know SCEJ/A will continue to support it since its doing well in Japan and the advent of its launch in China.

In the Vita's case that's doing well. Not sure in Europe but its officially comatose in the US. lol!



Wait, do you mean that only 39k PSvita sold in the US? Since it released?
Or only this year? Or month?



Pocky Lover Boy!

Sony would need 10 or more AAA games exclusively on it to make it relevant again in USA.
As ND did with U GA, maybe they could try a TLOU spin-off with Vita. Having TLOU into your console have a huge weight
They did Ellie's DLC, maybe they could do one spin-off about Joel's past to Vita, something that happened in that 20 years that pass between game intro to the actual game.
I know people would want it outside of Vita, but it could be there for a year and then hit the consoles...

The fact is that they can't even try to make an AAA game there, because people WILL want it on PS4 if they do and they will have to port it.

Sony can release 1000 games on vita it won't sell well without 3rd party support
