GameRevolution: "I'll use my powers for good, not evil and tell you which handheld you'll be choosing over the other this holiday season."
This image basically confirms that in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon we will be seeing an alternate story. While it has been stated by Nintendo multiple times that this was the case, they were never really clear on it.
Why in fucks name did the designs for the mc make it through the planing stages of development? They are by far the worse thing pokemon have produced.
Hey! Pikmin is brand new adventure set on the Nintendo 3DS as Captain Olimar's ship crash lands on a mysterious alien planet.
Every time I see 'released on Steam' my heart sinks. Why don't these guys release on GOG instead?
Beware Space Pirates. Beware Metroids. Samus Aran is back and she is locked & loaded.
All about the games, and this holiday season, the 3DS will have the upper hand.
The 3DS will have high powered brand games coming out for the system and titles like Uncharted wont be able to match.
If people invest in the PSV, they are doing just that: making an investment. The hardware is the biggest seller for the PSV as it is miles better than that of the 3DS, but the biggest games aren't going to come until a bit later.
Clearly the PSV isn't going down with a fight as it could very well do to Nintendo what PSOne did to N64. Nintendo is in no way going to repeat their high level of success they had with the DS. Within 5 years, the mobile market has captured casuals in a way that Nintendo just can't keep up with: $2 games and sophisticated technology.
But I think Sony's strength lies in the 3rd party support. The biggest Sony exclusives are third party-- Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, and GTA being the top selling for the PSP. If titles like that come out consistently for the PSV then we'll have a situation much similar to that of the PSOne/N64 era IMO. But whether those kinds of titles happen or not remains to be seen for both handhelds actually. If going just by history, then the DS had an incredibly huge lineup of titles that the PSP couldn't match.
Nintendo's best selling titles are Nintendo First Party games, and when PSV drops, that is what they are up against. I don't see how this Christmas can't go towards the 3DS. But after 2011, we will have to wait and see what happens next.
But I think they've got a good fighting chance.
No, I still think the PSV will probably have more good games, but the price drop does help justify buying the 3DS.
If the PSV will be out by then in Europe, il be switching consoles constantly, 5 minutes of 3ds, 5 minutes of psv, repeat.
Lets just see how the Vita has sold by Dec 2012. You'll probably see more price drops, more revisions of the model. Honestly, because of how Sony burnt me over the Go I couldnt care less if the Vita fails.
