There is no denying the PS Vita has recorded its lowest weekly sales yet but is that anything to worry about?
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
Uncover secrets, defeat challenging bosses, and upgrade your arsenal in these exciting Metroidvania titles on the PlayStation Vita.
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher PQube and Tokyo-based (Japan) video games publisher and developer Acquire, today announced with great delight and excitement that "Class of Heroes 1 & 2: Complete Edition", is coming to PC (Steam) and consoles (PS5 and the Nintendo Switch) on April 26th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It's obviously one of two things... Either the pricepoint is too high for getting a Vita with a memory card, so Japanese are holding off... Or, it's the fact that there are very few games that appeal to Japanese on the market for Vita right now. Most of the games at launch were geared toward westerners.
So I guess what I'm saying is... Wait for some great JRPGs and this will solve both problems because a higher price will be justifiable to them once something like Monster Hunter hits for example.
Can we revisit the Vita's Success or lack of success in a year after release. Because if it has a sales boom towards the end of the year, then we will see articles of all the journalists jumping on the bandwagon.
Besides the 360 has had terrible sales in Japan its entire lifetime yet its a very successful console.....so lets all be patient
The number one reason is cost and unfortunately the competition from Tablets and Cell Phones are also a factor to consider.
When the price point lowers and more desirable games come out that the Japanese market like that are mostly not ports, you will see sales rise significantly.
But he landscape for mobile gaming has change forever with the rise of these "smartphones" and Tablets.
Everything is fine,not need price cut and many AAA titles.
Its very good sales.
"in reference to comments above" for fuck sake, tablets and phones have nothing to do with the lack of success of the vita in japan. the problem is there is hardly any games on the vita that appeal to the japanese market....... what is so hard for these people to understand that. look at the 3ds and psp neither of them are a phone or tablet but both of them sell well in japan because they "HAVE" games that appeal to japan.
