I think Sony should try to introduce that Vita Price Cut into NA now.

darthv724061d ago

that they didnt announce that at the sony show last month. It certainly wouldnt hurt anything.

I myself did purchase one the same night after that conference and Im sure others would have as well if there had been an official price drop announced.

ABizzel14061d ago

It wouldn't have really helped without a solid software launch to back it up.

It made sense for Japan considering a bunch of Japanses games are comin gin the next few weeks, Persona 4 Golden was released not to long ago, and Soul Sacrifice is coming soon as well.

There's nothing really standout coming here in the US. It makes more sense to do a cut around September when Killzone Mercenaries, Tearaway, more PS4 connectivity, and whatever E3 surprises they have are announced for the Vita to take full advantage of the price drop for an entire holiday season, versus 2 or 3 weeks for the month of March.

They may have to suffer until E3, but if they can build up anticipation during E3, Gamescom, and TGS then this will be their chance to finally get the Vita the numbers the hardware deserves.

your constant expression of distaste for nintendo is a classic example of a closet fan in denial.

Just come out and admit it already. People know you really are in love with mario. The more you try to throw them off the scent the more they can see right through.

Apollosupreme4061d ago

A price cut or a Killzone bundle a current prices would make sense when Killzone drops.

Theyellowflash304060d ago

So sales indicate how good a system is? LOL! The PS VIta is the biggest piece of shit on the market then. And the Wii, 3DS, and DS are the best systems out right now.

Price cut without game/service release does not work much. The next big release title is soul sacrifice which will be in April. Also sony's financial year end at March and they are not willing to take much loss before this financial year end. My guess of the price cut will take as early as in April. Or most like in E3, which they can announce some new titles to build some hype to sell the system.

Apollosupreme4061d ago

I disagree. The Vita has a solid lineup. The software is not the problem, only the price of the console and memory cards.

SDF Repellent4061d ago

Xbox 360 is doing great with 6 games in the Top 10 chart.

4/6 of those are shooters, there's something wrong with that picture.

I like FPS as well (Far Cry 3, Metro 2033, BF3), but there's more to gaming than just 1 genre I'd think.

sdozzo4061d ago

4,600 Vitas. Wtf Sony. Thanks for the price cut.

Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II4061d ago

Yes wii-u and vita sales were poor and shows the old consoles are still dominant in USA with just one nintendo/handheld game in the top 10.

ABizzel14061d ago

Doesn't make sense to have a US price cut when NEW potential hardware moving software isn't there.

March is a good month for Japanese Vita games, which is why it made sense for a price cut and look what happened there, and with more Vita games coming throughout the month of Japan those numbers should stay pretty high for the next few weeks.

Here in the US it would have been a 2 week high, and quickly dropped back down.

September is a better time frame for a US price dorp, when Killzone and Tearaway release, PS4 right around the corner for PS4 & PSV integration, all the major game conferences will be over, and more software will be announced and releasing for the handheld.

PopRocks3594061d ago

To forward your point, if you look at history, the 3DS' price cut was concurrent to the release of two Mario games that same year, both of which sold over a million units before said year ended.

AWBrawler4061d ago

the US sells charts are getting depressing. everything is a shooter except Fire Emblem and NBA 2K13. thats a damn shame. no variety at all.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC1h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer2h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro7h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B5h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21834h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh4h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia4h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins4h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal4h ago

The first game was the best imo.

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS1d ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

NotoriousWhiz22h ago

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins22h ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia21h ago

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
