No, the PSP did very well when the DS was being awesome. The Vita's lack of success falls on Sony's unclear strategy for their handheld device. I have said these before:
-The Vita was western centric at launch when Japan is the biggest mobile market.
-It did not have any middleware games to bridge the AAA titles that were coming out during the early years. So there were weeks were you had nothing.
-It then became an indie platform when the AAA 3rd part...
The CPUs of Gameindustri meets the console girls of Segagaga academy. Lol!
Their TV division was already spin off and actually posted a profit last quarter. Its no longer the cancer of the company.
Sony's problem now is with their Mobile division which is reportedly planned to be sold or spin off in the near future.
Sony knows what they are doing now unlike before.
@krypt1983
But if what your saying is true and PS fanboys buys games with lack of content ala the Order then TF1 would have sold more on the PS4 than on the X1.
So it would also be true that TF1 sold poorly because it was an X1 exclusive. lol!
Not exactly $5. It was $6 for PS+ users ($7.50 normal) during the Critics Choice Sale last Feb.
I got the game during the holiday for $9 (none PS+ price).
The simple solution is to maybe released it for both but on the Vita first and then bundle 1 & 2 for the PS4 down the line.
That way the Vita owners doesn't feel alienated (since Kat is the Vita's original mascot/model) and the PS4 owners will get to play Gravity Rush and hopefully, expand the fanbase.
Essentially, do the Tearaway route~~
He was a spy embedded by Sony. XD
@Java
Its like your saying the PS4 is selling because its the best console hardware out there, is that right?
Actually that's the confusing part. According to the review, its not a broken or buggy game. :/
I think this proves the scoring system in reviews are broken.
Not the opinion of the reviewers, of course. I mean its an opinion after all. ^^
Don't we usually give 1/5 for broken/unplayable games? O_O
That's kinda harsh... ^^;;
Pachter has jinxed the Order. His predictions usually go the other way, its over! The game is now a flop. Lol!
I'm loving all this drama. The NPD data for this game is a must watch.
There will be so many salty tears and huge amount of crow eating either way. xD
Wait... When did these guys become hacktivist? When they are not fightning for anything.
I'm playing R1 right now and loving it. I'm happy they are bringing R3 over.
A lot of JRPGs went to the handhelds (DS/PSP) so we had a drought of JRPGs on the consoles. Not to mention some of the big Japanese developers stopped making thier popular JRPG franchises because they wanted to make games that caters to the west.
Well I guess, selling off SOE is better than having to lay off people.
Interesting, now I want to know how much CN payed for SOE and if SOE was profitable or not for Sony to make this decision. The future info on this transaction would be welcomed. :)
Well it was definitely down when this news was posted. I was unable to access the Store or log-in to Destiny of Spirits on my Vita during that time but now I can.
Maybe it just needed for the Super Bowl to ended or something. lol!
I love skits but I don't see the point of them being DLC though, even if its free.
I doubt they would since Type-0 HD has no multiplayer option.
Besides this would be useful for those who already finished the game on the PSP and just want to see the updated content.
