Wrong way to think? Ummmm from the looks of it, the majority of the comments agree with my perspective ... so maybe im not the one thinking wrong.
Obviously I wouldn't carry two handhelds:MY psp is getting boxed away or sold.
I nvr said I was AGAINST backwards compatibility;anything extra is always a plus ... Its just not a big deal to ME if it doesn't.
What I am against is all the damn boohooing from crybabies everytime something doe...
I have a psp and I could give a crap if the vita is backwards compatible or not. Im buying the Vita to play VITA games, NOT psp games ... that's what I have a psp for!
The super nintendo wasn't backwards compatible with the NES and we all survived ... etc ...
Gamers are spoiled today by technology. Too bad they don't make digital pacifiers for all the crybabies.
Escape Plan is a PSN only title now.
True enuff, good point.
I know all of those games are at the million mark, but they had the potential to sell much, much more with proper marketing behind them (which we all know is not one of sonys strengths). Sonys exclusives are top notch and should be selling multiple millions (5-10mil) not just a single stack ... hence why I said "capitalizing to the FULLEST" ...
But I get what ur sayin.
Wasn't Gravity Daze changed to a launch day title? I could've swore that I saw an article on n4g stating as much ... but ... I guess I could've imagined it.
I loved modnation racers and I don't understand this move if it is indeed true.
it puts it in direct competition with MNR and Sony has enough difficulty capitalizing on their exclusives to the fullest ... ie sales of Resistance 3, MAG, Socom 4 ... etc ...
This game is worth every penny, no matter what the price tag is!
This article was great. I chuckled to myself more than a few times.
Im sure quite a bit of people feel the same way the author does. I know I do!
Keep up the great, outspoken work. It was an awesome read!
This is the STUPIDEST idea I've ever seen or heard.
Tell the author to keep his opinions to himself next time bc he's losing credibility with every sentence he says.
I agree but its still very possible.
We all know how Capcom likes their money almost as much as activision and considering how many sales the psp version raked in, I think a Vita version is not only possible ... its inevitable.
Its not a matter of IF, its a matter of WHEN.
I would say to a certain degree it does.
Monster Hunter is to Japan what COD/MW is to the US ... its a system seller over there.
Look how much 3ds sales rose when it was released in combination of the price drop.
Im a die hard sony fan(boy) ... but this is another example of Sony dropping the ball ...
- 3G service with AT&T
- Missing a holiday launch in the west
- No advertising for the Vita to hype it up even tho Western launch is in a few weeks
Not to mention: I understand handhelds are big in japan, but did they really expect to sell in the east when almost all of the launch titles are more of western gamers taste?!? Yea, the launch titles are A...
"This Was A Strategic Business Decision" translates into "Microsoft paid us alot of money" ...
Way to waste your money Microsoft!
Howabout you take that money and invest it towards creating a new IP for the hardcore gamers you've abandoned!
I already have my wifi preorder paid off but this does make some valid points. Im even second guessing getting the 3G model now after reading this, which im sure was the authors main goal. Kudos to u!
Dual Analog Sticks and Trophy Support is what hooked me. The power and games was a bonus!
"– with the Sony exclusive characters already pushing me into going for the Xbox 360 version to avoid Cole, Kuro and Toro."
WHY? I thought more fighters, (exclusive or otherwise), was always a good thing?!?
Who in their right mind would INTENTIONALLY purchase the inferior version???
Well u enjoy ur lesser version on 360 ... the rest of us will be enjoying all the perks of being PS3/Vita owners!
I think that was a GREAT list. I would love to play any of those games and I hope some or all of them make it to the vita. Fingers Crossed!
That's awesome. I hope more developers bring the big AAA releases to the Vita!
Yes, hopefully online too!
With modnation, motorstorm and uncharted all passing on online play, this is a trend I hope DOESN'T continue!
Im looking forward to Killzone on the vita also.
I just hope it has online multiplayer.
My concern is that it may not, considering most of sonys other major franchises do not ... ie: modnation roadtrip, motorstorm rc, uncharted ...
For this originally being called the "next generation portable", there's nothing next gen about not adding multiplayer for games that have it on console.
Here's to hoping sony do...
Not my gamestop :-(
They said they wont b selling the games until the release date.
That sux
