PS VITA thread(embargo over,previews overload)

True that.

[cool breeze]

because options are nice 

When I'm in my comfortable room with a big TV, I'd rather play it on that.  A nice 5 inch OLED is still 5 inchess vs ~40 inches.  Then when I move around, even to the toilet, I can take it with me.  I do that with my PSP Go right now, btw.

Yeah, but who gives a fuck if they hurt the PS3 at this point?  Next generation is coming pretty soon, so if baby can eat momma's near-death body for vitality, I say giver.

Sony gives a pretty big fuck if they hurt their main PlayStation business. Because if their main PlayStation business crumbles (like it almost did with the PS3) then the portable PlayStation business crumbles as well.

The problem lies with Sony; they continue to build their portable gaming platforms as portable console gaming platforms. A lot of stupid people work at Sony.

looks fuckawesome. shame about the 30fps WO though, but HOT SHOTS! Now they just need the obligatory SF4AE and we're good to go.

I want a Ridge Racer as well! I am the target demographic!

I'm starting to wonder if PSP2/NGP/Vita is priced properly that 3DS might be fucked.  Everyone brings up the DS and PSP but Nintendo didn't really do anything to differentiate the 3DS from Vita.  3DS is basically an underpowered Vita with gimped game play and a 3D effect people can take it or leave it.  Right now everyone seems apathetic towards 3D so I guess this isn't even a real selling point either.

IOS is still going to be the number one beast, but now I can envision Vita getting that secondary market whereas I figured this would be locked up by the 3DS in the past. 

[Eel O'Brian]

to be fair, the only thing that's gonna spark even a match-sized fire of interest is a fuckton of 99 cent games

i know they're both hoping to ride out one last generation but for the most part $40 portable games are already dead, dead, dead

[pilonv1]

I don't think they need to be 99c. But they do need to be priced accordingly, $40 is ridiculous. Even $30 is pushing it

[TripleA]

Yeah, but you said the PS3.  Who cares if they snap the PS3's tiny little neck?  Its on-going existence is damaging to the PlayStation brand on the whole. Wouldn't replacing it with a successful hybrid be preferable?

Not from a business point of view, no.

meanwhile over at planet 3ds... oh look! almost exactly the same! DOA, SF4, Zelda, Winning Eleven, Ridge Racer, etc etc...


not particularly pointed at TripleA but the answer to the "who wants to play console games on a handheld?" question often seen from DS era Nindoids is cleart "Well, -US- it turns out!"

I already commented on how Nintendo is making the exact same mistake Sony made with the PSP1 in terms of software.

[TripleA]

I mean for the PlayStation brand, like you were talking about.  Surely a successful product is better for the brand than a tremendously epic failure.

The PlayStation brand will not grow stronger by terminating the home business.

[TripleA]

I'm starting to wonder if PSP2/NGP/Vita is priced properly that 3DS might be fucked.

If the NGP is priced below $300 then Nintendo are in trouble. Not fucked, but in trouble.

Now if Sony were to fully embrace the 'app philosophy' with the NGP, then Nintendo are fucked.

Hence the reason why PlayStation Suite is a genius initiative.

[TripleA]

I'm not talking about terminating the home business.  I'm talking about terminating the PS3, or rather, causing injury to it, which is what the post you linked said.  They can cannibalize the PS3 to give the Vita a better push, then come in next year or whatever with their next home console, which is going to have to be very un-PS3-like anyway.

The argument is whether or not including an HDMI-Out on the NGP would be a smart move considering the Ps3 is still in production.

You need to understand that including HDMI-Out is a very poor move as it will only serve to hurt the home console business (Ps3, for the slow people) which is something that Sony should absolutely avoid.

[Himu]

Definitely love being able to use hdmi. Now I can play portable games on the go and on my tv when I get home. Wish they had some wireless way to stream from your device to the tv, though. The future, baby.

[TripleA]

Okay, but what I'm saying is, it hurts the PS3, so what?

Launching a new and unproven platform with features that will directly hurt another platform that still sells millions of units is just not a smart move.

Especially when that other platform is being made and supported by the exact same people who make and support the new platform.

[TripleA]

HDMI-Out may still appear on the NGP. I will be fairly surprised if it's a launch feature though.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yeah Sony wants to be platform independent bad.

It's an exit strategy from the console market.

[Rman]

Good lord at the gifs!

Sony, you stubborn but beautiful bastard, thank you for going all out for the graphic whores like me.
