E3 already feels like it was a long time ago and it was just prior to that show when we last took a comparative look at the PS Vita’s sales performance in Japan. At the time it was broadly expected that the PS Vita would be a significant part of Sony’s E3 presentation. Instead that honour seemed to go to Wonderbook of all things.
We were certainly wrong about the PS Vita getting a convincing showing at E3 but we also fully expected the PS Vita to get a late June boost in Japan from the release of the white PS Vita and the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. From our first look at the sales performance of the PS Vita taking into account the broader trends in the Japan videogames console market, the PS Vita has been maintaining around a 7% share of the overall unit sales.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
what is this site about? i thought this was supposed to be a gaming site but heck it looks to me that im getting a sales analyst bachelor's degree for free because thats the main topic on this site, lots of sales analysts in this site but few true gamers lol, we are just gamers let the sales to the companies involved thats not your business.
you want a sales analyst bachelor's degree well its easy just sign up on www.n4g.com or better yet www.s4g.com lol
Games, Apps, entertainment is what should really matter to us. Let the companies loosing, gaining money worry about their finances.
Makes sense. Sony is giving the Vita quite a lot of love in Japan.
It's only the North American branch that decided to say "fuck it."
