New sales numbers in... HOLY SMOKES!... Vita has FLOPPED!

The trouble with hand held consoles is that they just aren't as portable as my phone... I can also buy games like GTA3 for £5 and all other games cost less than that.

There will be another Monster Hunter (whether it'll be on the PSV I don't know though). Monster Hunter only got big over the last4 years in Japan. Dozens of systems have survived without MH. Its been 2 weeks, you can't honestly believe there will be nothing of worth on the PSV.

So you are saying you think the PSV will not get quality games? Its also possible to own 2 systems ya know. The PSV isn't going to win the sales war but its far from doomed.

I agree. Vita is DOA without a big system seller. Games such as Uncharted or downgraded, watered-down 360/PS3 ports aren't gonna do it. Sony doesn't even have Monster Hunter anymore, LOL.

Difference is, is that games like Luigi's Mansion, Super Paper Mario, Starfox 64, & Ocarina of Time were out on N64 & Gamecube, two machines which aren't even on the market anymore. Not only that, but improved on them a bit. That's why Nintendo gets away with it.

PS3 & 360 however, are out on the market, so downgraded versions of those games won't appeal to anyone on Vita.

Monster Hunter was only really a system seller for the jp market but many games are...

Why do MH fanboys act like Monster Hunter is the end all of all games... Not even COD fanboys claim their games are responsible for success.

MH3rd sold 4million in jp... There are 70+ million psps. GTA LCS sold 2+million.

Not good for Sony!

[QUOTE="xmasdrink"]Sony is doomed and I'm not being sarcastic. They can't drop the price because they're already losing. No big games coming. Their entire business is doing terribly financially. These sales are truly abysmal... and to think Japan was PSPs strongest territory. Lost-Memory

Were you here when PS3 launched ?

No offense, but this is a far different situation than it was than both PSP & PS3 launched, because Sony wasn't in huge debt from their gaming division back then. They can't afford to "pull a Nintendo with the 3DS" by lowering the price of that handheld to something like between $150 to $170 because it'll bleed them tons more money than you think, & Sony currently can't afford for that to happen.

You know this could have all been avoided if Monster Hunter was released on the Vita instead of the 3DS. Oh and the memory stick prices need to come down. If I don't get the Vita it's because of those awful prices just to save games, download stuff etc...kage_53

Of course... Monster Hunter is truly the pinnacle of gaming and sales.

I mean it is not like the first two were ports and 3G is a port... I mean the games sell well outside the JP market as well.

Guess no handheld is safe. Since 3ds did terrible as well to.

Surely no one is surprised by this. And by no one, I mean everyone besides the cows.Doolz2024

Vita just needs more games that the japanese audience will be interested in. Persona 4: the golden and other JRPGs etc.
