Will the PlayStation Vita be successful?

Now that Sony’s extremely powerful handheld, the PlayStation Vita, has made its way to North America, gamers everywhere are asking the same question.

Will the PlayStation Vita be successful?

I don't know, I really see the Vita turning into the next PSP. It's going to lose developer support, have the crap pirated out of it and just generally drift away. Just like the PSP did.

SandwichHammock4460d ago

...and sell 60m units world wide. Oh the failure that is PSP! The internet meat continues to amaze.

Knight_Cid4460d ago

i think you mean 80 million units, with an 800 game library and more exclusive dev support than all the consoles combined.

Terrible

Even though the software was heavily pirated they still manage to have 51 games that sold a million or more(and it probably had more million sellers if you count digital). That is good for a company's first time jumping into a new business to them.

If they can contain the hackers from pirating most of their software, then I believe it will be very successful.

Change the sceptacle to skeptical.

Eventually, there's no reason it shouldn't be successful. It's got enough power behind it (the only thing it's lacking is 3D) and it's basically a PS3 controller with two touch surfaces.

Like I said in another post, once the price drops there's no way I'm not getting one.

Kurisu4460d ago

Hopefully it will be. I'm really happy with mine, so it would be nice to have support throughout the lifespan.

pat_11_54460d ago

That's what I'm worried about. I know the system will be initially succesful, but the question is, will developers continue supporting it over the course of its lifespan.

Kurisu4460d ago

Well, who knows what's in store. At this stage all we can do is cross our fingers ^^

SaffronCurse4460d ago

As long as piracy isn't as rampant as on the psp it will definitely get dev support.

A relic of its time or a buried treasure from the past?

I was really hoping this would have made it into one of the collections. Like how they did with the GoW PSP games.

VenomUK816d ago

I recall just playing the start on PS Vita but not much more and many Uncharted fans wouldn't have played it either so this 'unknown' chapter could be ripe for an expanded version for PS5.

TiredGamer816d ago

Agreed here. Played it back on the Vita years ago, but never finished. The cramped Vita controls and the tiny analog sticks just didn't gel with me in a game where precise headshots are half the fun. It's the first Uncharted game that I haven't completed/Platinumed, and I think much of it is control related. Really wish it was PS TV compatible (natively).

I would definitely buy it if it were released as a PS4/PS5 version.

YoungKingDoran816d ago

If you ever play it again on Vita definitely turn on the gyro aiming assist, made it alot more fun to play and i ended up getting all the headshot trophies thanks to this- super accurate

TheEnigma313816d ago

I loved this game. It was like an extension of the first one. Why haven't we gotten an HD release yet?

TiredGamer816d ago (Edited 816d ago )

Lack of available dev resources and lack of a lucrative ROI probably. I think Sony has an opportunity to sell it as a separate, standalone HD remaster for like $20. Otherwise, the effort to convert a PS Vita game to the PS4/5 won't be worth their while. Unfortunate, but that's probably the only way it'd make financial sense.

deleted816d ago (Edited 816d ago )

Some of the puzzles/interactivity would have to be completely reworked. I remember having to hold the camera to a bright light. (I remember being annoyed at that part bc I was playing in bed late night while my wife was asleep next to me. Ran to the kitchen at like 3am just to get past it lol)

Also the swipe battles. I absolutely couldn't stand the final boss because the swiping felt so inaccurate and it would constantly misread gestures.

I adored the rest of the game though, and even the story! It couldn't simply just be rereleased, it needs reworking for consoles. (same reason it didn't get PS Vita TV support) The rubbing parts could still work w Dualsense/DS4 though.

I'd gladly welcome it and do hope it happens eventually!

Muigi816d ago

Glad I still have my Oled Vita.

MadLad816d ago

Sony should have tried harder to support the Vita. It ended up just a solid emulation machine that happens to have a handful of classics.

Bigman4k816d ago (Edited 816d ago )

Yeah Sony gave up on the ps vita way too fast

Bigman4k816d ago (Edited 816d ago )

I really like Uncharted:Golden Abyss on ps vita it would be dope if they remaster it for PlayStation 5
