Despite the negativity surrounding the Vita it's the only one that has increased sales from previous year, and it increased it's market share too

We're trying to bring it back, but people like you keep it dead.

Bubbled down for trolling.

Spotie4060d ago

Getting a lot of games for a dead platform...

HomerDog4060d ago

bubble up for intelligent

HappyWithOneBubble4060d ago

@TomShoe But he is right though. I like Vita but haven't used mine in months. It's dead like Wii U. You say he's trolling but it's the truth and the truth hurts.

Life. Nintendo has the mobile thing locked. If MS came out with a mobile device, and all signs point to that they will, I wouldn't get it either. I would prefer a DS. But, at the end of the day, I have a laptop, a tablet, a smart phone, a Desktop, and a few gaming consoles, so 1 more device is the last thing I need.

If I ever want to play Pokemon on a flight, I can use my tablet, or dig up my old Gameboy Colour.

I think there could be a sales spike when it finally gets Minecraft.

Concertoine4060d ago

I dont see it after PC, 360, PS3, and the other consoles get it tbh. Anyone who wants to play minecraft already owns it,
They need to make more handheld dedicated studios or get rockstar to make gta like they did on psp.

I encourage everyone to hit: vgchartz.com+ WTF? No

I know this web site is not great with their numbers, but there is something that shows why XBO is not considered doing so well:

PS3 in 2011 - 3.9m
PS3 in 2012 - 3.8m
PS3 in 2013 - 3.0m
PS4 in 2014 - 3.3m

360 in 2011 - 3.2m
360 in 2012 - 2.6m
360 in 2013 - 2.1m
XBO in 2014 - 1.5m

Whereas Sony has remained constant, Microsoft has declined every year, selling 1/2 if what they did in 2011 with their main system... not a good sign for Microsoft.

Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.

crazyCoconuts1d 7h ago

When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.

Profchaos1d 1h ago

Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.

If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.

Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more

victorMaje22h ago

Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.

Profchaos12h ago

Tend to agree if i go to the trouble of buying a disc ill typically finish it

Alos881d 8h ago

Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.

OtterX1d 8h ago

*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.

Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!

andy851d 7h ago

Yup if you have a portal premium is the best tier for sure

KyRo15h ago

Extra has been getting worse and worse each month. I've had it since it's launch and it's been great to play some games I may not have played but the selection has been declining rapidly for a while now. My sub runs out in August and I'll be going back to essential. They actually add games to that which are more appealing.

jznrpg1d 8h ago

Add some more classics with trophies. Vagrant Story first

OtterX1d 7h ago

Nice choice. I agree!

Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!

Eonjay1d 5h ago

I like Ridge Racer, Tekken and Grandia. Add Xenogears, digimon World 3, Classic GTA and ill be happy

jznrpg1d 3h ago

Jeanne D’Arc was great!

@Eonjay there is a Grandia collection available for PS4, I’m not sure if it’s been on plus already or not

darthv721d 8h ago

cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.

Obscure_Observer1d 7h ago

If the consumers are happy, Sony is even happier.

It is what it is.

Eonjay1d 5h ago

I tend to agree with you.
