Is this thing dead? Even multiplats which include the Vita sell more on PS4 now.
>>
>Even multiplats which include the Vita sell more on PS4 now.
No shit? PS4 has a massive install base compared to the Vita. Still no reason to not release a digital-only Vita release to hit that market as well though.
>>
>>321017923
There's no evidence that multiplats do better, or else they will stop using it as a base. Currently, Japanese releases sell more on the Vita.

As such, games are developed with lower end assets to accommodate the Vita and then upscaled. I'm not sure what you're getting at. This is the only portable venue for these games, and the releases aren't exactly slowing down.

So how is it dead, like, at all? It has been proven time and time again that PS4 does not garentee sales due to its userbase, see Tearaway, or LBP3, or Bloodborne. None of these were massive in sales if userbase was any indication.

Seriously are they still supporting the thing or are they going to stop selling it soon? Are people even buying it?

I sure would love the ability to play my PS4 from anywhere but I don't think that alone is worth $200.

My local Walmart doesn't have anything Vita-related on their shelves anymore. It's a dead device in terms of market growth.

>>321017923
Japan fucking loves the Vita. It sells better there than any of the 3 current home consoles do.
>>
>>321020083
It still gets games, but Sony is not supporting it with their software. People are still buying it, but not much in NA.

You should buy it for videogames, not remote play.

>>321020182
Walmart is hardly an indication for anything, or any sort of anecdotal evidence. Amazon still stocks Vita consoles and games and is a better indicator as a retailer, as are smaller shops.
>>
It has been dead for a few years now.

Why are you asking as if it just now happened?

It's on life support. There's a modest legion of people who love it but they aren't big enough in number to warrant large scale support. Third parties are still making games for it but it's mostly weeb stuff because as someone said before Japan likes it.

In the west, the Vita is dead. Sales were not what they wanted and the western developers jumped ship, even games that were in the first Holiday bundle are now on consoles with an HD up port.

Japan actually used the PSP and Playstation Pocket so unlike the west where Portable = Nintendo, they sold like normal. Although PSP outsold Vita until they finally discontinued it.

There's lots of market factors etc, but I'm getting off work after a 12 hour shift and don't feel like writing it out.

Tokyo Xanadu is a shoe in since falcom already expressed interest in seeing it head west. Digimon depends purely on how Cyber Sleuth performs and we're definitely getting a PS4 port as well so that'll make it take a while longer to localize. Ys 8 is also pretty much assured.
>>
>>321020890
Nothing wrong with more people accessing the games. What annoys me is that people think Vita users can't enjoy them because of it. I have the choice of every platform, and I still choose Vita.

God Eater is also locked to 30FPS, so there's no point for me to bother unless I want a higher res which doesnt matter on a 5 inch screen.

It does though. By saying the Vita is shit, OP is insinuating another handheld is NOT shit, and the other big handheld is 3DS. And with a knowledge of nihongo, the Vita opens up so much as to completely dominate the 3DS, but for most people who dont understand japanese, the 3DS is a good option.

>>321021020

There's something very wrong with it though. There's no reason that you shouldn't get hardware if it has games you like on it. That means the hardware is a good value and is worth buying. You also support developers better by not forcing them to port. A culture of port begging kills development because developers can't pick any platform. Rabid fanboys will boycott unless it's on their preferred platform and they will get their way if they beg, especially if the developer is unpopular and doesn't have many fans.

/v/ needs to become a platform neutral board where port begging is a bannable offense and you're only allowed to discuss gameplay.

>Muh memory cards

Yes they are fucking overpriced but no one is forcing you to buy a 64gb card. you can get by just fine with an 8 or 16gb card.

Vita lets you copy your games onto your computer so you can very easily add or remove stuff on your memory card as needed.

Pretty simple. The demographic is covered by smartphones and the 3DS occupy the children demographic.

Most of the sales for the 3DS and its games are from kids, this is no surprise considering most of the games released on the platform and how more niche stuff never shows up in the US or Japan on sales charts.
>>
>>321021659
Europe has those sweet ass multi-game packs.
Japan has everything from the source.
US has nothing, not even advertising, and store chains are being total shit and liquidating everything vita, such as best buy.
It doesn't help that other chains are absolute shit with how they treat their vita selections, such as walmart which only has 5 or so vita games, most of which are launch games.

Its simple, and everyone ignores the real reason
Americans are graphiscs whores. The Vita is a graphics powerhouse, for a handheld at least.
It costs more for devs to make high quality 3D handheld games, and make them look good on Vita, so they just dont make the games.
So the Vita gets full up on 2D games that look nice, but arent 3D, so the American audience ignores them, so the Vita languishes in the US, while Japanese audiences who are more than happy with 2D keep buying games and systems.

>digital-only

In theory that's nice but memory comes at a premium for the thing, even the biggest option available isn't that large, and you can't even delete unused games without erasing your save...unless, of course, you have an active PS+ subscription so you can use the cloud save function. That, or want to fumble around with the slow-ass CMA, and god help you if you have to do that on PC instead of PS3.

Basically, management of digital titles on Vita is needlessly convoluted and, despite the small userbase and relative ease of distribution, hardly preferable to a much easier to manage physical release. Digital would work if Sony wasn't pants-on-head retarded when designing the Vita.
>>

It's slow as fuck is what it is. Better on a PS3, but I'd still rather be able to delete applications, keep my save, and just migrate my saves with it instead of bloating the time by being forced to migrate entire applications.

>>321022841
Not him but CMA is a pain in the ass to use because many times the upload freezes while I'm trying to fucking make backups.

touchpads controls work in games like SK, the pstv eumlates them via the controller joysticks.
>>
>>321023517

And I'd agree, if you could delete applications and keep the save without a PS+ subscription. But you can't so if you want to keep that data you have 3 options - buy PS+ and use the cloud save, migrate the data with the slow CMA, or just leave it on the card. There's no sensible option to just delete the game and keep your save in case you want to revisit the game someday, or at least not without paying a fucking subscription fee. Surely I can't be the only one who thinks this is kinda shady. And I get it, it's all kneejerk reaction DRM to the PSP's piracy but holy fuck, does it create needless headaches for the legitimate user.
>>
>>321023821

Sony's efforts have been fairly poor post-Soul Sacrifice Delta (and even kind of shaky beforehand) but Vita's a case where the third parties stepped up more than the first party did, save for a couple ambitious efforts like Killzone Mercenary or Uncharted Golden Abyss. Far as I'm concerned, Sony's never been much of a driving force for the Vita despite some effort back in 2012/13, so I wonder why anyone blames them of anything in terms of game support. They've mismanaged the fuck out of Vita but smaller third party devs have diligently supported it regardless.

Vita sales in Japan were at abysmal levels around the time it launched in the west which scared off both developers and mainstream gamers.

I'll just take Media Create's numbers that would have been available the same week as the launch edition:

3DS – 67,558
PlayStation 3 – 22,002
PSP – 15,860
PlayStation Vita – 13,939

Here's the end of the month

3DS – 76,322
PlayStation 3 – 27,111
PSP – 15,928
PlayStation Vita – 11,186

And here's a random week in May with previous week sales in parentheses.

3DS – 45,752 (46,425)
PlayStation 3 – 12,026 (12,996)
PSP – 10,652 (12,247)
PlayStation Vita – 6,347 (6,340)
Wii – 5,956 (6,073)

In all fairness, Vita probably would've had a much warmer reception had it launched in Japan a few months earlier. It launched in December 2011 but by August the 3DS had its infamous price cut and by early December it had both a 3D Mario and Mario Kart. If it had launched in July, it probably would've done much better because the 3DS was still nigh worthless at the time and took a good 7 or 8 months before it started gaining the momentum it had going into 2012.

>Main issue in Japan is Nintendo's platform is terrible for software sales outside of Nintendo's own publications.
This meme needs to die.
Most 3rd party 3ds games sell more than average Vita games.

Actually take a look at the mediacreate sales for some time.

There's probably some general truth to it, though I doubt it's as harsh in Japan as the reality is in the west where 90% of a Nintendo handheld's library is virtually ignored in favor of Pokemon, Mario, and Animal Crossing.

Sony could also just port some phone games to the Vita, right now they have Chain Chronicles, Million Arthurs, DxD all it needs is KanColle the browser one and the upcoming Vita and the Vita is saved.

People shouldnt expect million sales for smaller scale games just because Pokemon and Mario Kart are pulling those.

Shit like SMT and EO definitely gets enough sales.

The way you have to handle transfers with the Vita is so shit that I cant even be assed to buy games anymore.
Its too inconvenient and they dont want to bother with physical releases anymore so fuck them all.

The American demographic wants something completely different from what Vita tends to support, and it's something that people would rather play on consoles in practice. Bear in mind that one of the best selling Vita games in America was CoD Black Ops Declassified, and that game was awful. On top of that, it barely receives any attention as something other than a indie/remote play machine. Now what slightly confuses me is why Killzone Mercenary didn't sell better since it's tailor made for western tastes AND was actually a solid game. Its failure to gain momentum in America was something I didn't expect.

Dunno. I dont buy my games where I buy my toilet paper.

To me its really weird that games sell at places like that at all.
For me it was always dedicated games store like gamestop or some technical software/hardware store.

Wouldnt surprise me if they put up the Marios only because parents who shop for groceries are more likely to pick that up for their children.
SMT is more of a enthusiast series.

I've actually had debates on this matter. Believe it or not, trophies actually matter a lot to some people. I've seen people defend this kind of thing adamantly before, so apparently Sony's reading the market half-decently on that one.

Even in America people like japanese games. Mostly on handhelds though.

Japanese games sold quite a bit on the PSP and any other handheld before it.

You just gotta have the right ones.
Neptunia isnt the right thing.
You need Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, MGS and all that.
PSP had all that. Vita only got ports of those or nothing.
>>
>>321028652
There are plenty of japanese games on the vita that aren't neptunia.
but unfortunately a lot of them are just enhanced ports
not that i really mind

>>321028516
Guy you replied to here
They matter to me. I love getting them, but not at that price

FFVII doesn't really look much better beyond looking a bit smoother but that's good to hear. Got Dark Cloud so gonna give that a go and see tonight.

>>321028652

True, pretty much any recognizable Japanese name did end up on 3DS this gen. Vita's definition of a big release these days is something like Neptunia, Atelier, Senran Kagura, Ys, or Trails. Even Vanillaware titles are a relatively huge deal on Vita platforms. They don't have the kind of pull that something like MonHun, Kingdom Hearts, or Final Fantasy have. Even so, I personally kinda like the distinct, if not low-key nature of Vita's library. It doesn't make it sell any better but it's a little different, you know? Granted, different doesn't exactly sell these days even when it comes with a budget, let alone without one. I still think it has its charms, though.
>>
>>321020713
But they don't. Sophie, God eater, Uta2, and many other games sold better on the vita. The ps4 versions just sell slightly better for the first few days. Vita versions tend to stay in the top 20 longer.
>>
>>321029018
I would trade every monhun for sophie but you make a fine point. Anyways the vita has it's place, it's a niche system for niche games.
>>
PS4fag hypocrisy :
>Hur Dur Hunting games sell better on PS4
>Provide link that proves his/her claims are wrong
>B-but Vita is dead in the west
Even if it's not selling well in the west, what makes you think that PS4fags here would support God Eater even though most of the fans in Japan chose the Vita version

>tfw don't know if I should get it on PS4 or vita

>>321029678

I've not seen the numbers myself but I hear huntan does awful on PS4. Then again, isn't that largely a handheld thing for Japan anyways?
>>
>>321017923
Can I play spyro and Crash in this thing now?
>>
>>321021020
>s. What annoys me is that people think Vita users can't enjoy them because of it.

This more then anything, I love my vita, but I love the games ever more. If more people are getting interested in GE now, mores the better. Something with Japanese, people act like if a game gets localized it was pointless to learn Japanese. It's completely backwards thinking, then again most vita owners own a PC/PS3/3DS from what I can tell so it's not like console war shit means much. If you own a vita, chances are you are no soo poor as to worry about having to defend your "investment" in a console.

>>321030013

Yep if you're European.

>>321029541
It's also is the portable handheld of choice for indie games, which I've been getting a rather surprising number of hours put in from.

Still hoping for n++ to get an eventual port, but that's looking less likely by the month due to that team's problems lately.

What doesn't help in Canada is that the PS4 versions of a Vita multi-plat tend to cost $30 more just for the privelage of 1080p, and possibly 60fps.r

Wii U and Vita are pretty dead aside from some small releases every once and a while, and the occasional major release.

THe only thing is for me, since I own both, is that I didn't own a Wii last gen, and there are a lot of hidden gems on the Wii that I can play. THe Vita doesn't really have this because who the fuck would buy PSP games

Owning it physically reason enough desu senpai.

I'm not paying 10 dollars for a PSP game senpai, only ones I bought were on sale.

Anyone know the name of this one Vita game I saw a webm of once? It seemed to be a JRPG and there was a battle with some giant monster, and the perspective was switching between 3 differerent team memebers, but the gimmick that one was fighting right at the monster's feet, one was sniping from a building far away, and the other was midrange or something. It looked really cool.

Would love to do the same with the PSP, but UMDs fucking suck and the Vita cant use them anyways.

Brandish is absolutely worth $10 IMO, and it goes back to $20 when the sales update in probably 12-ish hours. But that's just me.

I was tempted to pick up Brandish but I hated the SNES game.

There's quite a few Vita games I want, but everything being digital and a potential target for a sale makes me not want to ever buy anything unless it's marked down.
It saves me a lot of money so it's a good thing in the long run, but I could be sitting here waiting for months instead of playing a game I want to play.
>>
>>321032941
I know that feel. I recently got P4G for $9. Glad I waited.

I'm a physical fag so I'd much rather spend more on physical even if it's on sale digitally for much cheaper
