I honestly thought Vita would do much better in Japan than it has been doing... then that way get all the quality Japanese games and hopefully eventually get a model with AV out. So I can get the experience of HD-quality console games out of Japan again.  :-\

I grabbed a Vita from work today and I'm testing out all the majigs on here. I'd honestly love it much more if it had HDMI out, so I'll see if they add that to the hw before I buy my own. The software on offer is good.

My survival tips


Get MH at any cost

Pack in 4GB memory card at least.No storage is the stupidest decision ever,2012 digitally oriented device and you have to buy some proprietary card to save or even boot some games...come on
MS had sku like that and it sold like shit despite being $100 cheaper.

Talk to Western devs and try to get quality games ports--old,new,day and date,etc it doesn't matter just get something that Western core audience is interested in

I thought 4 gig cards were being included now?  I think Nintendo wrapped monster hunter up pretty tightly.   In the west, you're not tearing adults away from their smartphones to play games on a dedicated device these days.  Its gonna take something akin to a phenomenal out of nowhere game to turn the vita around.

This is bad advice.  It's chasing a market that does not exist.  The Western core audience isn't going to give up their TVs to play their core games, and their iPhones/Androids likely take care of everything else.

This is basically the fundamental misstep of the PSP in Western markets, and it's likely the Vita will follow.  There is a market for dedicated handheld gaming devices in America, and they all ride the school bus.

I know,but I'm kinda hoping that good controls,graphics and reasonably priced ports create some niche.
Sony better have some strategy at E3 or  Vita is :violin

RE6,LP3,Crysis 3 and not a single mention of Vita,not even some shitty rumor.Not surprising,but still...titanic.gif

Add in a mix of GT Vita (released 2020), God of War and Madden and that will probably be it.

Nothing new or exciting I would think.

http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/info/strategy2012/index.html#block0

If i'm reading it right,"game" segment had about $500 mill profits in FY2011.They plan to bump that to about $1 billion for FY2014.Planned sales volume increase is not that dramatic though(in %)...about 20% increase

It looks like they don't plan to take much loss(if any) on PS4 hardware.Late 2013 release means only few months in FY2013.

“Nearly two months after hitting the North American market, the PS Vita ecosystem continues to grow with impressive hardware, software, and peripherals sales among big-box retailers, smaller retail shops and digital. We are seeing strong digital downloads across the board, including full digital-only purchases and extremely high conversion rates for digital demos to full game purchases with titles such as Unit 13, which showcases PS Vita's unique 3G and shooter capabilities. We look forward to furthering the PS Vita momentum with upcoming blockbuster titles like Mortal Kombat and Resistance: Burning Skies, and apps including Skype.”

Hope 3ds numbers leak, Kid Icarus doing well bodes well for future releases selling well in a smartphone world.  Publishers just need to advertise their games.  Now make a WiiU version.

ediiiiiittttttt!!!!!:

Kid icarus 135k
SML 3D 100k/1.98m
3DS 225k
Wii 175k
MP9 230
MK7 118k/1.58m

Not too shabby methinks.  I wonder if Nintendogs combined skus are still a precense.

So what I don't understand is with all the systems (cheap or expensive) and all the games doing ok -> poor worldwide in every market outside of guaranteed hits like MARIO and such....how is the industry going to fix itself on software sales.

The market seems to have just given up on all software that isn't Mario or big name Call of Duty/Madden/Dance stuff. 


How do you get people to buy videogames in large amounts once again like the 90s or early 00s?

Also Sony or someone NEEDS to start giving the public info on DD sales numbers.  It used to be something you could write off like "oh, maybe a few people will buy a game DD as opposed to retail" but with the Vita, I'm probably the only person I know whose buying physical carts and I do not believe they are some insignificant portion.  In Japan where they are 10 years behind the US in DD, Gravity Daze sold like 20k or a 1/5th of its sales digitally. 

If they started selling iOS games in retail packages as well as on the app store, the app store numbers would be a HUGE portion of the total sales.  People these days in the US are really into DD gaming.  I don't think it's some miniscule number and I think it probably is why the software numbers on NPD would look off if the hardware is selling.  It's not like the PSP where people are buying the hardware to pirate.  There's literally NOTHING you can do on the hardware besides buying games and playing them.

But it's all speculation until someone breaks a goddamn NDA and says "we sold 20k retail copies and 60k through PSN for our game".  One day someone will release some fricken numbers and then we can start to analyze all titles based on the ratios.
