The timing Is very interesting. Xbox might be online only, and with an reported asking price off 500$. It could be Sony way off saying to the consumer that we are the right console this time. With Xbox 720 being announce on the 21th May, it Sony saying its a better produce. Time will tell.
If this game manage to make it to the PS Vita, I will purchase it then. But not for the PS3. Hopefully with recent PS Vita console sales in Japan, Capcom will decide that PS Vita is worth supporting.
I just read the review on IGN website. Which give is a 9/10. The only complaint was that the game was short. 5-6 hours. I think for the price, 5-6 hour game is very fair.
Do vgchartz numbers include PS Vita digital downloads ? Sony states that 1/3 off all Vita owner prefer downloads. So maybe the numbers are closer to 600,000.
Good to see the Wii U number are up. After next week, there no major Ps Vita game releases for awhile. So it will be interesting to see if the number can stay near 30's. My guess that they will fall to around 15-20's.
There a gaming revolution happening at the moment. The past 4-5 years when a AAA completes development, a lot off game developer have been released from their jobs. Game developers are sick off this and have been forming team 2-6 people to make their own games. You can see in the quality of games that are being release now that Indies games are going to take off.
Indie games will fuel the gaming industry for the next few years.
But will they save the PS Vita. No – because to survive as an indie developer you will have to port your game to all system and mobile devices. Yes some games will be a lot better on Vita because of the control. But people will play these games on other devices.
Vita needs AA/AAA games to survive. To offer something different from ipad, smartphones.
Nice hardware numbers again for the Vita. Really good to see 5 PSV titles in the top 20. Hoping the publishing firms are taking notice. I wonder if PSV version off "Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2013", is alot better in psp version.
Sony had a branding issues. Which is partly caused by the orginal price tag of the PS3, partly caused by just being a big successful companies at the time. Even before the PS Vita was released alot off gaming website wanted it to failed because of the sony name. Now by Sony becoming very Indie friendly, I looks like they are over coming there branding problems. An Playstation is being seen as a positive thing again. Sony timing is perfect at the moment. Announce the PS4. Then get headline again with GDC, then E3. Very smart.
I think the next generation off games, we will see less AAA games. As it getting harder for them to make there money. i.e Tomb raider sold 3.4 Million, and still need to sell 1.6 million more just to break even. So sony smart getting the indies on board early, as HardCore gamers will turn to the next generation off gaming. Which are games made by small teams, with new ideas and willing to take risk again.
Pity I play this when it first come out on the 360 because it would be perfect on the Vita. I will give it a miss, but happy that these type off games are getting ported.
Pachter stated a few month ago, that Sony could not afford to drop the price of the Vita in USA, as they are already sold just under cost.
Nintendo lost alot off money last Fin year on selling 3ds, below cost. With the knowledge that they should make the money back this year.
Sony is not in a position to do this.
Instead they offer great plus content. Cross buy. Getting the indies on board. An there alot off games on the VITA, its just missing regular AAA games releases.
Sony in for the long haul. An this year looking alot better then last year.
I love the mini games. I am currently playing the game on the Vita and I would give it a solid 8. What you guys say about the boss fights is true. Bit too easy, but at least they are all different.
Question for the reviewer, would you give this a better score on the Vita. As it better then most other game like it, on any mobile device. Or will you review it compare to the PS3 version and say it worst graphics and therefore its a worst score.
I read review to see if there a common complaint between the reviews. But I take the scores with a grain of salt. I have seen many Vita games mark down because they are "not" as good as the console version. Reviewers forget that the vita is not a powerful, and you can do mobile gaming on it. They just mark the game lower. Compare the games to other mobile games, not high power consoles. I feel that some big games like GOW,KillZone just receive worst score, because sony has a branding problem. I also feel that reviews are lazy at time. I have a 3D tv, but many reviewers don't even comment on the 3D aspect off games i.e KillZone 3. I would like to know if its worthwhile in 3D. Saying all that, this website does write up good, fair reviews

Re: Dragon Fantasy Spins a Yarn on PS3 and Vita This Month
This is probably an amazing game, but I can never handle playing games with retro graphics 8-16 bits.

Re: Rumour: Sony Stitching New LittleBigPlanet Game for PlayStation Vita
LBP on the Vita was good. But I did think the LBP brand is getting old. They need to give it a rest a few years.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Vita Steady, Muramasa Starts Strong

Joystiq are now reporting that Ground Zeros, Phantom Pain are separate games. So maybe there hope for Vita yet.

Re: Japanese Sales Charts: One Piece Propels PlayStation Vita
These numbers for PSVITA and 3DS proves that handheld gaming is along way from dead.
Re: Hideo Kojima Takes the Bandages off Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
I was hoping for it to be PS Vita title.

Re: Dragon's Crown Reigns on PS3 and Vita This Summer
I was expecting PSN price-tag too. Which means I will wait for review or demo before I buy. It does not look like a 40$ game, but maybe I am wrong.

He has got people talking which is Kijima main goal. My question is, is this going to be a PS3/XBOX game or a ps vita game. Hoping for the later.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Soul Sacrifice Pushes Vita Above 3DS
If the sales number stay strong, hopefully Capcom will start supporting Vita.
