LOL okay sure.

What do u call successful? None of the games sold on the PSP outside of Japan. Japan is the only place the PSP actually sales in. Support was dropped a year before the Vita was even announced in the US. The reason they are struggling now with 3rd party support is because those same companies took a chance on the PSP and it didn't turn out well for them. So I don't get how exactly PSP was a success just because it sold the console itself. Software was...
Arguably the greatest software launch for a system and none of the games are selling. So what good is a price drop going to do other than make them bleed more than they are already bleeding. They are losing money on the Vita now so if they have no software NOW than what good does it do to drop the price? Sony just told us they admit to struggling getting 3rd party support. Announcments of games are not going to make sales jump. They F'd up and it is as simple as that. They made the ...
Advertising isn't excluded to tv commercials. Advertising goes to mags billboards and even the 360 dashboard which is what alot of 360 owners use to get info they need. I don't need to see a commercial on tv to see what is available right on the dashboard and click the link and I am ready to download whatever game I am ready to play.

MS isn't losing money like Sony is. I don't get why you continue to paint this picture that Sony is completely fine and then quck to point out about MS as if they are in a similar situation.
Sony is the company that is doing a restructuring.
Sony admits difficulty with third party support for Vita(I thought exclusives only matter from Sony fanboys)
Sony went from a $100 to $18 in 10 years
Sony is losing money in the ...
Except out of all those Sony has been doing so for 10 years losing money and they are the only company out of that list to get their credit downgraded and they are a company that went from 100 billion down to 18 billion. So no I don't see a pattern. But please show us the losses broken down for EACH company.
Because Sony didn't think of it first and if they did they would have continued doing so. Which is why they now have PS Plus. I
@ axelstone
Yet the Vita is struggling trying to get third party support. All the talk about exclusives doesn't hold weight. Kinda ironic how fanboys claim exclusives carry the Sony systems yet the company which we all knew knows it is struggling without 3rd parties.
If no one is buying game sand third party and publishers are not going to support it why drop the price? If they can't see increase in software which was the same issue with the PSP than what good would dropping the price which will result in more losses? Even if they had a publisher announce a game starting development will the game be here on minimum 2 years?
Yet their DC MMO is now free 2 play and Dust 514 was changed to free 2 play. Hmmmmm
Okay so what you are saying is for example walking dead you paid to try it out when they have free demo available outside of Plus to try?
Phones play android games. I still don't see the appeal.
XBLA & PSN are a success in association to what the 360/PS3 offer. If you really think that they are going to offer similar quality than you are kidding yourselfs. It is a hack able system. They are going with a free 2 play and expectations like expecting games similar to XBLA/PSN is exactly heat the complaints will be when the system comes out. What I see happening is all this device will end up being is access to OnLi...
Still too many holes to see how this will be successful. Still questions on funding for advertisement and still don't see what consumers will care for this in mass.
This is exactly what my thought was when it comes to this business route. Why buy new games if eventually it will be on PS Plus. It discourages some to simply not purchase the game new. Then the other issue is like myself, why bother with PS Plus if I have already played those Ames in the past that I know I am not going to play again vs what I currently play.
@ ares84hu
Such an obvious and weak analogy.
My 2012 5.0 says differently than the 2010 4.6 liter.
Yes we know your a Fluffer for Sony and any comment in relation to Sony gets you all hot and bothered. Not even going to bother explaining the point which is ironic when the same thing get said repeatedly over and over that isn't true.
Both companies in 2001 were touting the PS2 and Xbox to be the center of home entertainment. MS and Sony are doing the same thing but MS is doing it more seamless than what Sony offers in comparison. So it isn't attacking Sony idiot ...
I don't know why you or anyone continue to try and single MS for offering that 360 as an entertainment hub when Sony is and has stated to go in the same direction. We have all known since prior to the Xbox launching what the future plans and roadmap was.
Just because MS isn't pushing out more games under them than what Sony has done doesn't mean they don't care about games. It really sounds childish to try and claim one company over the other doesn't care about ga...
You got to love how much the Sony owners like to complain about the multiple articles with ANYTHING negative about Sony in general. Yet, it was just find with all the doom and gloom and still to this day comments about RROD. Don't click the link if you don't care about the articles.
