If PSVITA had modern warfare 3 cross platform, would it win the handheld War?

It might. The 3DS isn't doing so hot and even with that price point I can see the Vita with all the buzz it has just overtaking 3DS. If it had cross platform MW3 then it would be game over man.

If i buy a VITA is for a original Handheld games not for a consoles games. We need original ideas, not ports from consoles. look what happen with the psp. If you have a 42 inch tv. What is the point?

nobody is arguing that we'll have unique games, but i think having a crossplatform wouldn't be a negative. Who knows, maybe one day you buy FIFA13 for 59$ or you get the crossplatform PSVITA/PS3 combo pack for 79$.

not saying for every game, but some would bring a lot of interest.

first.. i think there is going to be a cod game for the vita (mw3?) secondly i dont think it would be THAT successful , i mean i will be getting the vita but i will be buying mw3 on ps3campzor

If it plays like it shoukd, it will be succesful.

Since CoD is sub-HD just to run on the PS3, I'd expect any Vita CoD to make more concessions and probably run at 30fps to even run properly. But if IW/Treyarch could allow people to take their profiles on the go at least so they can play and level up anywhere, then it would be a serious win for Sony on both the handheld and console front.

No, it would not help at all.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Yes, it would certainly help. Whereas I can say with certainty not ALL CoD players would want to play the game on a handheld, quite a few of them might want to, and to them, it will be an appealing feature. So, Call of Duty on the Vita might help it, but it won't win it the handheld war like TC asked.charizard1605

While it might not win the war, it might sway other developpers into putting morecross platform high end games like that.. kind of making the PSVITA and PS3 a must combination.

imagine NHL 12, FIFA games being able to crossplay too

yea thats true

hi, first post so hopefully it's not too lame or noobish for you guys :oops:

My question is, they have said that the ps Vita can be used as a ps3 controller which is nice. Also that with dual analog sticks, FPS are going to be VERY interesting.

Now, the question is, If Sony were to invest in convincing Activision in making a Modern Warfare 3 for PSVita that will perform exactly like the PS3 version(except lower resolution since it's a smaller screen), but that you'd be able to play online against ps3 users, do you think that this type of giganticstunt could convince a lot of people to get that over a 3ds etc.

Would that convince you to get one?And do you think it will bring some people who didn't think of getting one, into getting one?

Not really. The 3DS has Pokemon, and honestly, nothing sells like Pokemon. Also, most CoD players really wouldn't want to game on a handheld anyway.charizard1605

On case size, note that Sony Vita is 7.2 inch wide while Acer Iconia W500 tablet is 10.8 inch wide.

if the vita got mW3 so would the 3ds they wouldnt strictly have it for one handheld

multiplayer fpses on handhelds, haven'et worked sales wise really so far. Plus who really needs to play cod on the go? im sure most casuals don't even want that. Microsoft1234

My AMD Fusion based tablet says Hi i.e. it's a handheld, it's mobile and it's a PC.

Not really. And I expect the 3DS to get anual CoD games starting next year.

Anyone who's serious about CoD wouldn't dream of playing it on a handheld, but I could be wrong.

nervmeister

thats not the point in sales yes the 3ds getting mw3 will hurt the vita completely negating potential buyers and sales for it being handheld exclusives who cares what plays better if that was the question then i wouldnt have stated what i did

As if it will be comparable.

I used Modern Warfare 3 as an example. It could be many other Major games like UFC, Fifa, NHL, Madden, Coop Games etc. crossplatforming. I used COD cause it's a big seller.

and someone who said there is no R3 and all that, you have two touch panels that can easy be used, heck it could possibly give a slight advantage to the handheld.

I dont know about everyone else but cod on the go would be great for me. If it gets slow at work, I can work on leveling my perks. Gonna be on the toilet for awhile? How about a round of Search? Lunch break? Quick FFA! PSV may change FPS genre on handhelds. 3G gaming? PSHH no problem. Just set my EVO 4g to hotspot. Im sure COD will give the PSV a surge that may help end Nintendo's reign as top handheld
