Agree. The upcoming games cater to an audience that already own a Vita. Unless a new IP (or smaller game) surprises and as you say revitalizes the system, I don't think any game would be able to move a lot of hardware. Except of course if Vita got a mainline entry in Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest or Yo-kai Watch as the far majority of those audiences still haven't bougth a Vita. But with Nintendo's lock on these 3 this gen, that probably won't happen.

Though looking at the Japanese top 10 best selling PSP games, there are other system selling games still lacking from Vita's library.


 

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a new Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts game for Vita though.

TGS will be interesting in that it'll show us what Sony intends to do with their handheld division. A no show is also useful information

Metal Gear is a dream. lol With Konami taking out Kojima-san.
Vita have World of Final fantasy (Could sell well and could be the new KH ) and DQB. 
I agree with monster hunter but its kinda too late for that but you never know. TGS is around the corner. 
The Problem with it is the 3DS is having the big game and having some of the big game is mulit-plat with the PS4 or the PS3.

Bold: As you say, one of Vita's problems is that it is sharing its biggest games with PS3/PS4 and I doubt anything but exclusives (and preferable mainline games) would move a lot of hardware at this point.

But you're right. Even though it's not exclusive to Vita World of Final Fantasy does have potential.

Thats the thing, the vita's greatest strenght is also vita's greatest downfall I feel. It shares way too many games with console more people have and the exclusive list gets thinner and thinner, namely recently.

Yeah. I agree.

Another problem is of course its lack of future system sellers (exclusive or not) that would cater to people that still haven't bought a Vita. A mainline Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, Yo-kai Watch or Metal Gear Solid would fill this role but that's most likely not going to happen at this point.

Vita still receives some interesting games but those aren't expanding its audience.

Oh for those wondering:

[WII] Metroid: Other M (Nintendo) - 45.398 / NEW
[WII] Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Nintendo) - 32,388 / NEW
[NDS] Metroid Prime hunters (Nintendo) - 32467 / New

Metroid Federation force is almost 1/10th of what Metroid normally is in Japan.

Its probably going to be something simular in the US or EU.

People that where expecting Federation Force to flop where probably correct.

The "slim" is comeing soon, so they probably cut back on production and stock of older models.

That and everyone knows its about to get a huge price cut, and a new model or two, so they re saveing their $ instead.

Ah I see, thanks. Haven't been following gaming news for a while and ps4 used to be above 20k almost all weeks so I was kinda surprised

Vita vs. COMG Japan Sales Comparison

Kerotan on 05 September 2016

Good second week for BEASTERIA and good first week for king of fighters.

Hardware sales have plummeted. Retailer stock running dry. Great to see. One more low week and we can start the hype!!

Still though, despite the serious stock issues, the PS4 remained the top selling home console. Probably will lose that battle this week though.
