Sony Euro boss: Japanese Vita sales not indicative of international reception [Joysti

[kupomogli]

#1 major problem for the Vita (imho) sums up like this...it's another multi-media device in a multi-media market

they did not showcase it as another so-called walkman/video player/3d camera/streetpass multi-media device instead they marketed the thing, first and foremost, as a gaming machine!

You sure do like talking out of your ass don't you?

Here is a video of the first trailer for the Vita outside of the E3 conference which was nothing more than a collage of games. With this new trailer, notice that it's not trying to push anything other than the fact that it's a gaming machine. Sure it states that it has a multi touch screen, camera, rear camera, and back panel touch screen, 3g, and gps, but how the hell is anyone going to know what the system can do for a gaming experience if the features are not even known. It's like if Nintendo released the Wii being a motion control console and never told anyone that was used in that way. The rest of the video after describing the features of the system are nothing but video games.

As for Near which was announced later, it's used as either a gaming mechanic or displays what games people you meet are or have been playing. A launch window title called Unit 13 is going to use Near as a gameplay mechanic. If someone that you interact with with Near has played and unlocked special missions on Unit 13, those missions will be unlocked for a short period of time or a single play. If you complete the mission in your playthrough, then you'll also unlock it, but if you fail you'll have to unlock it yourself or wait until you reconnect with someone that has Near.

It's also funny how much of a hypocrite you are. Nintendo repeatedly announced Netflix for the 3DS, hyped streetpass all to hell(something your post is specifically complaining about the Vita about.) While at my bestfriends, he connected to wifi to download the Resident Evil Revelations Demo, only for the 3DS to respond that were movies and music videos to download. Yeah. "movies" and "music videos" and then the ability to watch a trailer for each of them.

Then also for Resident Evil Revelations. First off it turned out the demo wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Not only that. "you have 30 times left to play this demo." Seriously. A limitation for playing the demo.
