STN:
This may come as a shock to some, but PS Vita does have games coming out for it later this year. Many have slated Sony and the device for it’s lack of games, but with around 40 titles already on the system and at least 20+ more to come before the end of the year, I think that the Vita is unfairly criticised.
there s no games on vita except ;
uncharted,fifa,virtua tennis 4,gravity rush,resistance, mgs hd,wipeout,
Unit13, escape plan, little deviants....etc
The real question is how many games do you fck needs anyway to be happy.
I didnt see that many people hating the 3ds when there was not even 20 games after 6 months. But sony giving you over 40 games during launch window and every fucking websites already claim the vita is doomed.
You all pathetic
I wasn't being immature its just how I see it, I've played many 3DS games and been disappointed by the short cuts nintendo took to shove games out for the system. Pilot wings was so unbelievably short it was ridiculous, Star fox had revamped multiplayer but no online? lazy, MarioKart 7 inferior to its DS predecesor, Mario 3D land i completed with all star coins in 5-6 hours.
Not only those but the Eshop wasn't even ready for launch, there is still only a very small eshop 3DS library after over a year of release.
Then you have people complaining at sony 4 months in when there are quite a lot of PSN titles available on the vita and not only that pretty much the whole retail library is available online.
I have over 10 retail titles for the vita and many PSN games and i'm still stuck on what games to play.
The 3DS on the other hand has been pretty stale, i've gone through 20+ games on the 3DS. I thought RE:R was ok, Kid icarus had a fair amount of content, But overall i've enjoyed my vita more in 4 months than I have the 3DS since launch.
All I can narrow it down to is that people are stupid, simple as.
@FriedGoat - Yeah consumers are very stupid! I can confirm this because I've made stupid decisions before in buying products and services. But I think the people who take the title of stupidity are the people who bought the Nintendo 3DS at $250. But FriedGoat, you've redeemed yourself because you've accepted your mistakes and made the right decisions. At the time the 3DS released, there was already news and info about the PSV way before. People could've easily researched and compared which is the better device that will give you the best experience and satisfaction with your time. Yeah, I agree, there are tons of content on the PSV, from full console games to minis, everything's great and there's no need to complain.
Also, people who complain about the PSVita's price, what I suggest to you is go out to your nearest gaming store and play on the PSV. Get a feel of it, play some games, explore. Then, go home and compare the PSV's specs and reviews to other devices, like the 3DS. Only then you will have a clear picture of the future.
Plenty of reasons it's not selling, from it being perceived as too expensive, to the perception that it has no games, to the fact that it's not geared towards a wide demographic, to the 3DS having a year on the market to develop a larger following.
People ARE dumb. They'll buy what the commercials or their friends tell them to, without any regard for the actual ability/content of the product. Earlier this week, a guy came into my store and swore up and down that Call of Duty was the best shooter on the planet... but he hasn't played ANYTHING ELSE.
That's the mentality of the average person. And the majority of sales even on a niche product(as long as it's not TOO niche), belong to the average consumer, not the enthusiast. A ten year-old that just wants Mario and Pokemon most likely fits into the former category, not the latter. And there are definitely more ten year-olds in the former category than there are twentysomethings in the latter with a 3DS.
But you know all this, right? After all, this is all common sense, and you're CommonSenseGamer.
Right?
So consumers are all of a sudden dumb because they're not buying the Vita?
Really? This is what the forces of N4G have concluded too about why the Vita isn't doing as well as it should. Is this really what you guys have come down too?
Maybe consumers are smart enough to realize that there is no need to buy a $250+ portable gaming device that doesn't have the functionalites of a smartphone. But oh no lets just call them stupid and sheep. Yet if it were selling it would be the total opposite.
Consumers are not dumb, and if its "perceived" as too expensive...well then maybe it IS too expensive to the average consumer. Especially when there are cheaper options available for portable gaming.
C'mon guys, stop reaching.
