If SONY stays true to their word and developers start rolling out cross-play with regular titles, do you think the PS Vitas poor sales run can see an increase - even if a temporary one? It's interesting that SONY is still trying to make VITA and the XPERIA phones a mainstream part of the overall console experience and trying to unify these products.

 

What does your crystal ball say?

It's sales can definitely improve however this handheld gen is gone for Sony. Hitting PSP sales would probably be an ideal result by the end of this gen for the Vita.

Unless they drop the price and get more third parties on board, no. We might be back to a one handheld market.

Oh it was yours originally? I demand justice!

Sony is clearly doing something wrong when I'm ready to buy another 3DS (XL) instead of a Vita. I'm going to sell my old system, but I don't know where I'm going to put that money into.

I don't think it can hit 3DS numbers but if it gets games and a stellar e3 presentation than its possible I suppose.

OT: loved the topic title :lol:

Not without a drastic price cut no. Maybe Sony should just bite the bullet with the Vita and release a stripped down handheld purely for streaming PS4 games. If they could bring it to market at $100 or so it could be a fun little gadget. Can't see anyone shelling out $250 for a poorly supported handheld just for the sake of the streaming feature.

Never say never. But right now they need a strategy and games to kick it off.

I think one thing that added to the Vita's issues might be the proprietary memory card, and it's price.

ReVITAlised...I like it.

Hopefully Killzone: Mercenary is the Vita's killer app. It's certainly looking like it.

Nope because even Sony isn't stupid enough to force devolpers to do this cross platform, so it'll just be a gimmick that a few frist party games use.

I want games for the Vita that I can't get on the PS3/4. So crossplay isn't impressing me. Drop the price of the Vita and the memory cards as well as give me the type of games I want and I will buy one. Don't and I won't. So far Sony seems pretty dead set on seeing that the Vita fails.

I doubt anyone will pay $250 just for the cross play feature. And it's not like the Vita has much else going for it.

Needs games

Start with Killzone: Mercenary, make it not total sh**, then toss on 5-10 more quality titles (new Dissidia wouldn't hurt)

More in likely its the games. Since psp sold fine at 250 with even more expensive proprietary memory cards

What types of games do you want? I feel more supported with vita than I did with psp for the types of games I like.

They could do to get a 4G model out, so then remote play could be used anywhere. If they get some devs on board and release some quality games it should pick up in sales.

Yes of course it could but it would take a competent team to run things and realize that the memory cards are incredibly overpriced
