The article is on point.
"It is, however, hard to compare a smartphone or tablet to a handheld gaming system. Those devices are suited for many tasks, and bought for different reasons under different stipulations such as cell phone contracts for smartphones.
Would I ever buy an iPhone just to play games on it? No."
For some reason the media is finding it difficult to understand this... They say things like "smartphones are domi...
So in the eye of the people you don't get more with the Vita than the 3DS?
The PS3 is over 5 years old. The Vita is new tech.
"People thought that Sony would drop the price again once Nintendo did it with the 3DS and they would compete and get lower. But people are mad that Sony stood their ground."
You hit the nail on the head. I've said this before. Had Nintendo "stood their ground" nobody would be clamoring for the Vita to drop in price. The issue that people have with the price has more to with Nintendo dropping it so quickly and unexpectedly than it has to do with the Vi...

"Call of Duty hasn’t really had any strong competition in the FPS genre for the past five years. The only other game in that genre to threaten COD was last year’s Battlefield 3."
The funny thing about Battlefield 3 threatening CoD is that BF3 plays more like CoD than any other Battlefield game in the franchise. Take out large maps, prone, vehicles and aerial combat, BF3 plays like CoD. Where as in past BFs the gunplay and pace is much different. ...
Yes, the 3DS is a very nice and capable piece of tech, but there is no way the 3DS version would look on par with the Vita version as the Vita's graphics are closer to current gen graphics where as the 3DS clearly isn't.
If the 3DS looked identical to the Vita version that would mean that EA "semi-try"-ed on the Vita.
"I bet you also didn't think that the PS3 was overpriced when it's first came out."
Just because you can't afford something doesn't mean it's over priced. At the time I never thought that the PS3 was over priced especially considering the fact that the PS3 was THE CHEAPEST Blu Ray player on the market... I just thought that it was super expensive is all. I did like all gamers do that are on budget... I waited for the price to drop.
"Well,We will just have to wait and sales will tell."
LOL I love how people act like sales only points towards one thing.
"if this thing has poor sales it means nobody wants/cares for it."
"if this thing has poor sales that means it's over priced"
"if this things has good sales it's due to good marketing"
"if this thing has good sales it's because everyone loves it"
...
You actually made a good point. This is why backwards compatibility should be standard.
I never bought a PSP, but I want the Vita. The Vita currently has no games that I desire personally, but there are games that PSP has that I want and would like to play on the Vita. Instead of be buying the Via and getting those PSP games to play in the mean time until some Vita titles that I want come out, I'm stuck with the choice of getting a PSP or waiting for some of those desire...
If the Vita were to have good week one sales the media and the blogosphere will be stunned in disbelief.
What? All games that have a story should have one that is good.
lol
Ok fine, I misspoke. You and him ASSUMED that the people that commented here did NOT READ article. Which led me to believe that you assumed that everyone was from the US. Happy?
Yeah, that's the reason why I haven't bought an Assassin's Creed game since the first game. I'll give AC3 a look, but it'll have to have SIGNIFICANT changes in order for me to by it. I really don't want support a game that releases every year except for sports titles.
"Since when does saying that your going to become a PC gamer mean that you forgo the opportunity to be a console gamer?"
When you say it in a "Why the next generation of consoles might be nothing but a reason to SWITCH to PC gaming instead" article.
Ok, list STANDOUT PC EXCLUSIVE games that aren't MMOs or MMORPGs or RTS games and have OUTSTANDING single player experiences that have ALREADY released within the past 3 years please.
Thank you very much.
I know right. I was really hoping that the game would have released by now. By winter of this year I may have spent all I'm willing to spend on games. A lot of good titles release in the fall.
Talk about "get used it." A lot of commenters on N4G always jump to assumptions. They ASSUME that everyone is from one region in the world.
Just like you sir specialguest and Knightcid just did by ASSUMING that the people commenting on this article are form the US and not from Europe. You certainly fit the mold of 'N4G commenters'.
HD collections are not cash-ins. I'm starting to think that people that hate on HD collections have yet to purchase one because of that perception. If you played the Metal Gear HD Collection there would be no way in hell you'd call that a 'cash cow.'
Plus, there is consumer demand for HD Collections anyway.
LMAO!!!
The playstation isn't in cr(y)sis. Pun intended LOL!
Wow that sucks, it was pretty cool in the trailer.
I was going to say that the trailer was false advertizing, but when I looked at the trailer again it didn't say anything about AR. I find that really funny because I could have sworn I saw the words "augmented reality" the first time I saw the trailer.
