How The Vita Can Avoid The PSP's Fate In The US

There's a lot hinging on the Vita's success. We gamers may have short memories, but most of us will recall that Sony's initial foray into the handheld space—the PSP—was the first system in more than a decade to challenge Nintendo's absolute portable dominance.

"the last big release besides Lego Harry Potter was The 3rd Birthday in 2010
"

I cant take that seriously.

Especially since trails in the sky was after both in the US. Tactics ogre psp, ff 4 complete, dissidia 2,

And in japan forget about it. The new support is weekly

Agreed. That's why when I saw this:

How The Vita Can Avoid The PSP's Fate In The US

The first thing that crossed my mind was:

Avoid advice from ill-informed writer.

@Reservoir below:

Really? Not one person in one hundred that I know pirated a psp game. Here is where poeple often say, "well I did" just to prove they are in the know.

The far far majority of PSP owners were gamers who bought what they played. Quite often this piracy crap is given too much credit with unreal high numbers. Not only are those number inflated grossly but they also concern a group of people of whom which most would not have bought a game if it could not be pirated so there is no sales loss that is of consequence.

The PSPs fate was not a bad one.

Knight_Cid4447d ago

exactly

the psp sold more units in the US and Europe. Way more than japan

ReservoirDog3164447d ago

The software didn't sell well in the US though. A lot of people bought one then pirated the games. There's exceptions I'm sure but that's why they didn't even wanna bring Valkyria Chronicles 3 over here. No one bought 2.

It's the only handheld that was even a worthy second place but we can't lie and ignore that it had room to improve.

Dat launch !!!!! Vita is going to be fine and sell more then the PSP, call it a hunch of mine : )

Mikhail4447d ago

The problem with the PSP was more on software (original not pirated) wherein at a business POV was quite a problem.(except in Japan) It is a success hardware wise especially that this is the first thing to survive against Ninty. (we all know Nintendo is king in handheld.)

Knight_Cid4447d ago

800 game library is a problem?

it had more exclusives than all the consoles combined

Mikhail4447d ago

I am talking about the developers of software. The piracy problem was higher compared to the consoles.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
