Will The PS4 Save The PlayStation Vita?

The PlayStation Vits isn’t doing so well right now in terms of sales. The handheld console by Sony is getting close to two years of being on the market and it has yet to hit the initial run of sales. With the release of the PlayStation 4 being only a few months away, could the launch of the PlayStation 4 be what the PlayStation Vita need to start selling? Join us in this GVN Discussion in the comments below.

Sony needs to have a very oriented psvita gamescon show

iamnsuperman3925d ago

I don't think they do. Nintendo has proven that you don't need to show this stuff on a conference. If they just merely mention X,Y and Z titles are coming to the Vita and show of the remote play thing that is fine. The problem is Sony need to concentrate on a PS4 launch right now. I wouldn't mind if they came out with a direct style show and said this is what is coming to the vit and then showed off the games

Blastoise3925d ago

And hopefully we see something good at Tokyo game show too.

*cough* Persona 5 *cough*

Timesplitter143925d ago

I'd much rather have them focus on the PS4

NexGen3925d ago

Well, if remote play pans out like it's sounding that it will, I am also getting a vita to accompany my ps4.

RioKing3925d ago

Exactly. When I have my PS4, I will have my Vita :D

Vita should be able to save its self.

Timesplitter143925d ago

agreed. If it absolutely needs to live off another console to survive, then it will never really be saved

ritsuka6663925d ago

Becoming a companion to the Playstation 4 is not enough to move Vita units en masse, not enough to encourage developer support, and not enough to save the system.

iamnsuperman3925d ago (Edited 3925d ago )

I agree and I am not sure why Sony do not release a bundle with PS4 and Vita for maybe $50 to $100 more than the One. I know they will take a loss on both systems but just by getting them out there they could recuperate that loss through games.

Also by doing this they could push Microsoft out. People have the choice of going for a PS4 which is $100 less than the One or going for a PS4 with Vita that cost $50 to $100 more than the One (if it is $100 more then they are only losing $50 off a standalone Vita). This would make their competitor's Kinect addition less attractive. It doesn't have to be a permanent thing but a limited one year thing

LOGICWINS3925d ago

Mark my words. If there is ever a PS4/Vita bundle, Sony will take that loss and make it $499 to directly compete with the One.

IanVanCheese3925d ago

There is no way they can afford to make that kind of a loss, at least nowhere near launch.

Don't get me wrong I'd love it to happen but I can't see it.

LOGICWINS3925d ago

^^People said the same thing about the PS4.

TongkatAli3925d ago

You said Project J was going to be a 3DS exclusive. Developer support you say ?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

Look at dat 3DS support, spin spin spin this.

NYC_Gamer3925d ago

The PSV needs software and more developer support

LOGICWINS3925d ago

And that won't happen unless it gets more consumer support. Its a chicken and egg scenario. People won't buy Vita if it doesnt have enough software and software makers wont make games for it unless enough people buy the console.

FullMetalTech3925d ago

It wont save it but it will help push it. They really need to stress and show how all the PS4 games can work on it and maybe even incorporate the Gaikai service for remote play on it.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5060d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905060d ago (Edited 5060d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5060d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5060d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495060d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5060d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5060d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
