Japan - Sales Flops aka Time to Buy

[NGEFreek]

Pretty sure once they find a way to load unofficiak releases on the vita, it will breathe some new life into the machine. That or throw a monster hunter game at it.

Monster Hunter isn't going to do to the Vita what it did to PSP.

[Mzo]

Aside from Katamari, which is ok, those other games are pretty bad.

Definitely worried about the Vita. Needs a price drop, packed-in memory card, and some ridiculous games. Gravity Daze and MGS Collection are a start, but it needs a lot more.

[Diff-chan]

Nobody is going to buy the system for Gravity Daze. And MGS, that thing is on the PS3 with an additional game.

I am still planning to get a Vita but my decision to put it off is looking better every day. E3 needs to be awesome for this thing. If not, it's dead.

lol, people who paid for a Vita

[Mzo]

It's easily the best handheld ever, but amazing hardware isn't enough to succeed.

"look how awesome this game system is with no games"

Recent Vita releases have also been dumped which I'll cover soon but to give some flavor, Sumioni and Reality Fighters are already selling at 65% off and they were released a little over a month ago.

Yeah that's my main reason for holding off on buying one at launch. No games annouced yet that I give a shit about. I played that game years ago of buy the system before the good games come out and I got burned by long waits. Never again.

Monster Hunter isn't going to do to the Vita what it did to PSP.

Really? The Vita seems leagues above PSP for local/online play and closest thing to a MH clone on the system now (Ragnarok Odyssey) is one of the few games to break 100,000 on it.

In other news it's a shame to see Little King Story bombed on this system too, sold 7,000 in it's first week.
