Wait, so you're saying it's better to have 2 shovelware/3rd party/late port/indie types of games than 39?

But if you're saying that's true for all of Vita's games or even most of them you'd be horribly wrong. Just look at the list. Not a lot of late 3rd party ports: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6983986

I've never heard about any of those games besides digimon.

I wouldn't brag about it.

You're not Japanese either. I had never heard about either WiiU games there so they are automatically worthless because I am not well informed?

Ironically, this is a result of Nintendo doing what everyone said Nintendo should be doing. If they had just gone the way they did with Wii, I doubt we'd be discussing about the lack of game releases.

The Wii's drought of game releases was just as bad......

Narrow minded view that ignores all external factors. It's Sony's fault that Vita has no first party support.

Its Nintendo's job to sell 3rd parties on their console. Being underpowered, harder to port to and having rubbish sales isnt going to sell anyone on developing for WiiU.

Did everyone say Nintendo should not try to get 3rd parties and did everyone say they should release an underpowered (compared to PS4X1) console with a tablet controller? I must've missed the memo

I'm sure 3DS games will sell more in Japan than Vita games.

Youkai Watch + Pokémon + Monster Hunter > entire software sales of Vita in Japan.

Quality is obviously more important than quantity.

So you're claiming that Youkai Watch, Pokemon, and Monster Hunter sell more because they're that much better than everything else?

Youkai Watch was made popular by it's anime, and Pokemon + MH are big name IPs that will sell well on any platform. These titles are similar to GTA, Dragon Quest, or Call of Duty. Massive brand power that will pump out millions regardless of the quality of the game  (especially relative to the other games in its genre).

Too bad this thread is about upcoming games. But hey, call me if you need to discuss more about sales of the titles. Meanwhile, I and others in this thread will continue to discuss how many games Vita is getting (39) until March. Games you don't recognize at all yet you can somehow categorize them easily. Information is power, my friend, and you need more of it.

They sell well because people like them... They all get solid review scores.

Monster Hunter and Youkai Watch are coming to 3DS in the West next year and there will probably be a pokémon game as well next year.

Yeah, information is power lol.

The Vita list simply isn't impressive imo.

It is. Good sales increase chances of localisation.
