PSVita Has 'Better Chance' to Succeed than 3DS, says EA.

"I think [Sony has] got a shot because they have some really unique innovation in the control scheme, the technology and the screen. It's got a lot of social features now so that you can actually communicate with our friends and be social," said Gibeau."You can't ring them up by putting the device up to your ear but in general I think they've got most of the capabilities that you'd find in a smartphone, with some unique capabilities that make them stand out."

"I don't think they're quite in the same boat as the 3DS... the 3DS was a really interesting piece of technology but I think there was some confusion over it and the title slate was a little different," he offered.

"I think Vita has a better chance because it has a stronger title slate at launch," he noted. "PSP has had a great run in Europe as a device; it seems to have reached a much larger audience here than it did in North America.

As for how well the PS Vita does, there is a lot riding on the success of the device. The 3DS has already had to drop the price rather drastically, only a few months after hitting the market."

Just like the PSP had a better chance to succeed than the DS?charizard1605

Zing! Exactly! The PSV is going to follow in the PSP's footsteps. "Fail" because it's priced too high.

There was a time when everyone thought the PSP would win too. It had sports games, shooters, and even GTA titles coming for it.

The 3DS just needs a "re-launch" where consumers actually know that it's a different device from the DS, and Nintendo needs to launch a Pokemon game for it :P

Isn't this old news?

Anyways, I have to agree. It just seems like the Vita can do anything. Although I know most will hate it, I'm looking forward to ports of PS3 and PS2 games that I never played.

No it doesn't. The primary users of handhelds are children and Sony isn't targetting children.

Are we already forgetting that the Vita will launch at the same price as the 3DS did? PSP never had a problem selling hardware, mind you.

Or win over the Japanese market because console gaming on the go is very popular effectively cutting the 3DS's third party support to a minimum! Which is what the PSP did in the last two years of it's life.

And the PSP was selling very well in the beginning of it's life. The price wasn't too high at all.

I'm really excited about the Vita aswell, it already has more games and studioslined up for it than Nintendo. Plus I just don't like the 3DS, I feel the 3D effect is more tacked on if anything (if you move the slightest, it goes away) and it hurts my eyes and gives me a headache after awhile. Sure I can turn it off, but then it just becomes like another DS, I bought the 3DS for the 3D! Also the batter life is a nightmare, about 3 hours and it's dead. Plus overtime rechargable battery starts to weaken and can only hold less and less.... HUGE mistake on Nintendo's part.

I hope Vita get's the battery life right....

$250 6 years ago with only the DS as competition is a bit different than $250 now with the 3DS + tablets/smartphones as competition.

I look at the 3DS and just shake my head. It really isn't that big of a jump from the DS, kind of like the Gamecube to the Wii with a gimmick. I do not know what it is gonna take for these die hard Nintendo fanboys to realize there are much better options out there. I honestly think Nintendo has become a secondary device for most people.

It will a closer fight this time, PSV is doing a lot of things in the correct ay. But it´s Nintendo we are talking about, I think the 3ds will sell more due: Price and being released one year earlier.

I want EA to make a handheld Mass Effect game for PSV! It should be a turn-based strategy RPG like Final Fantasy Tactics or XCOM, that would be badass. I know they made a mobile ME game but it kind of sucked. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the PSV and I'm glad that EA has some faith in it, even though the handheld market is probably a fair bit smaller now than it was a few years ago.

and the wiiu will be in the same situation as the wii. Lack of power compared to the competition, thet will left the system in a coner...

Giancar

How do we know that? There are no system specs released. There's only been one game shown that's not even in pre-alpha stages. We don't even know the price of it yet.

Er, target audiences have a lot to do with it. Vita's target audience is core gamers just like the PSP's. Smartphones are not targeting the same people.

How was it not a big jump? The DS was theoretically able to pull of N64 graphics, but rarely did it ever do that in 3D games. The 3DS just about equal to what the GC can do, but even it has more advanced features than the Wii. That's why games like RE:R can pull off HDR, motion blur, self-shadows (Not even Wii FPSes had shadows. They had blobs) and more. Revelations puts anything on the DS and PSP to shame.

What much better options? Waiting for the Vita? I don't see how it's going to be much better when the only game on it so far is Uncharted (That's worth playing that is.) iOS/Android? Those aren't real gaming devices like 3DS and Vita.

Gravity Rush, Escape Plan, LBP, Dragon's Crown, and Ruin are not worth playing? I can get them not being suited for your tastes but, lol, no. There are plenty of games worth playing.

Hardly anything interests me at all from that list. Where are the RPGs?

Unfortunately, for now we only have ports for RPGs. Disgaea 3 (SRPG) and P4G.

It's pretty much a given that the Wii U won't be very powerful. It will be able to run PS3-level games smoothly at 1080p resolution, but there is no way Nintendo would be able to make a system more souped up than that and include that expensive controller while keeping it under $500-- especially since Nintendo wants to sell it at a profit. It's also too small of a box to fit serious next-gen hardware inside of. We aren't going to see PS4 or Xbox 720 until 2013 at the earliest, and by that point the Wii-U will be very outdated. Today's PC gaming rig is 2014's game console, and there is no way Nintendo is going to pack that much power into a tiny little box while also packing in a $150 tablet controller, all while keeping the price under $300 and still leaving room for a profit off of each unit sold.Timstuff

No it's not a given. None of us know what's truly inside the Wii-U, so we can't say how powerful it's going to be. We don't even know if that's the final form factor, so we can't know for sure what kind of hardware they can shove in there. Why are you assuming Sony and Ms are going to build more powerful systems? If they're going to build even a PC rig in 2014, they aren't going to sell it for under $500 either. Why not go the Nintendo route? Nintendo kicked their ass this generation, and no doubt investors want to see those profits over at MS and Sony also.

That expensive controller? It's not even a full-fledged tablet like people want to make it out to be. If HP can built tablets at only $99, then Nintendo can build and sell this controller for less.

The 3DS and Vita are both going against the smartphone market in gaming... Sure Vita is an amazing piece of tech. I'll likely get one, but it's really big too. Too big perhaps for some to carry around ALONG with their phone, which always is with people. The other problem the Vita faces is the high price point. Why buy a $250 device OR a $300 model when you can get a phone for that price and do the same things AND get cheaper games around a buck or two or even free? As much as I hate to say it, handheld gaming systems are becoming more niche the more they are compared to phones. yoshi_64

Do you honestly believe this?

hakanakumono

Actually I do. Nothing announced besides Uncharted, Bioshock, and maybe LBP (Assuming it's going to be a brand new experience and not just a port of 2 with new items.) Meanwhile there are easily 3 times that many titles on the 3DS that are interesting.

Haha, what games are you interested in on the 3DS, by the way? I feel like we have similar tastes and I can only come up with 4 games (assuming ZoE is actually going to it)

From what I gather the Vita is mostly hyped because of the graphics and the 250$ price tag. The touch screen and gyro functions are nothing new and the games don't look terribly innovative and unique either. I think once Nintendo throws out Pokemon for the 3DS all the kids will want it while the Vita will face hefty competition from smartphones and even home consoles.

Not going with current ones. Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Luigi's Mansion 2, Paper Mario, Resident Evil Revelations, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Heroes of Ruin, Metal Gear Solid 3, James Noir: Hollywood Crimes, Kid Icarus, and Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright.

Maybe Star Fox too. Not sure about that one. I was interested in Shinobi for a little bit, but since it looks like it has the budget of an iOS game, I don't care for it now. There are a few multiplats, such as Rayman Origins (No PC version is BS,) Sonic Generators (No PC version is really BS,) and maybe that Spiderman: Edge of Time since it's exactly the same as the console versions.

I'm fairly certain that Capcom will port Revelations to anything that can run it so, for me at least, I wouldn't buy the 3DS for it.

Don't worry. I understood.

Out of the games you listed, I'm only interested in one of them: KH3D. The other three are Beyond the Labyrinth, Time Travelers, and ZoE. I really don't care for more Mario or the various spin-offs, I don't care for Heroes of Ruin, I'm getting the MGS HD Collection, Uprising looked interesting until I saw the control scheme, and I never cared for Layton, PW, or Resident Evil.

Look, you can keep telling yourself that Nintendo's games are still amazing and the 3DS games look different from the DS but every Mario game looks the same to me. Same with Mario Kart. And I do not see Nintendo ramping up the graphics when every Nintendo fan buys it just because it says Nintendo on the box.. Saying the 3DS is at least comparable to the Wii? A 10 year old box? Much better options? A phone. And yes the Vita or even a PSP. The only game on the 3DS as of now that is worth playing is Zelda.....for the 20th time. I like Mario Kart but jesus it is the same thing that was on the Wii and DS. It looks and plays the same. Now you have a glider. So what. That just means they take the tricks away......they were useless so it won't matter. And I know Sony and Microsoft have games they are milking but these games also have multiplayer where most of the improvements are made or they are part of a trilogy. How many Mario and Mario Kart's are they?WarTornRuston

Oh I'm not telling myself that. They are still amazing and they look vastly different. Super Mario 3D Land is a clear gen ahead of NSMB/SM64 DS. Revelations might as well be two gens ahead of RE:DS. Mario Kart...yeah some of the footage I've seen can look amazing, while some look like they didn't put much effort into the graphics. It still looks like a new Mario Kart game. There's been the SNES, N64, GC, Wii, GBA, and DS version. 3DS is it's 7th version.

The graphics are very much good enough for a handheld. SM3DL looks like a Galaxy port. The GPU in the 3DS has features that are comparable to certain features on DX9/DX10 chips, and that's why it can do Wii-like visuals. That's what I meant. It obviously doesn't have the power of one, but that doesn't mean it still can't pump out amazing graphics on for a handheld device. What's wrong with the Wii being a 10 year old box? (Actually about 2004, so 7 year old :P) A 10 year old box wouldn't be able to push Skyward Sword and SMG graphics.

As of now? Yeah I agree with you. OoT 3D is the only 3DS game I have atm. No system ever has a good launch lineup, but I'm not going pretend it did.

Beyond the Labyrinth was the one I forgot. I just liked the setting/art, since I don't really know what the game is about except for some girl wandering around a labyrinth :P

hakanakumono

You gotta get Revelations :o That and SM3DL are what convinced me to buy one. Oh, and OoT of course which is why I have it now.

Come on man, I'm not that low :( If the Vita really does end up being amazing, then I'll support it. Unlike the "other," I'm not turning a blind-eye and putting down the Vita every chance I get, and I'm certainly not pretending to hate/like it as the "other" does. I also don't do comparisons with bullshots vs stretched pictures :P

Wishfull thinking.
