Nice video about problems with the Vita

Can only recomment this channel, they talk about gaming industry topics in a smart way. No bashing .


Don't quite agree with all the points though.

Saw this earlier. It's not entirely accurate. The sales are double what the guy says.

But otherwise yeah he's about right. It's a vicious cycle

Geez, I really don't want to watch another Extra Credits video... Someone mind giving me a summary? In return, I'll post my Vita with love.

Vita hardware is powerful,  too powerful for a handheld and Vita games are much more expensive to make than the 3DS. Due to this less devs made games for it and less people bought it, making it an even bigger risk to make a game for Vita  meaning less games and system sales and the cycle Co tinues. He said devs also have a bigger risk when making handheld games as they usually cannot be ported to other systems so they will make less money, but this is usually  balanced out due to the much lower development costs compared to consoles. Sexy boy then spoke about how this could have been fixed if Sony pumped out first party games for Vita to get more system sales and so it wouldn't be as much of a risk for a Dev to invest in the Vita.

Ah so they basically stated the obvious and argued what already been argued while throwing in their most simplistic opinion again. I really stop giving a sh!t about these dudes after that "WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF INTERNET!" video.

Will post Vita love later.

I was going to buy one but then realised it's just anime, indies and ports. Also it seems to have good games few and far in between. If all of the PSP and PSone games on the store were backwards compatible then i'd probably get it.

Bummer about DMC HD Collection not being ported to Vita, i'd buy it for that game alone, which is completely hypocritical considering what i said earlier.
