It outsold it worldwide after losing in both the US and the UK. It outsold it worldwide because xbox isn't relevant in japan and Sony stayed strong in Europe.

It also damn near destroyed the playstation brand and severely damaged console gaming in japan. It's not a "failure", like in the end it ended up with a great library, but it crippled playstation and there's no real getting around that.

Selling less then your competitor is losing. Especially with what a failure the ps3 was. With a better ps console, what that means is that the xbox one, won't sell as well as the xbox 360 unless a big change occurs.

No, we know they have shipped 5 million consoles, and we know that's not anywhere near the same as having sold through 7 million consoles. We also know that despite a year headstart and a much cheaper price, the 360 lost worldwide. We know that despite outselling sony in both the US and the UK, they still didn't win…

Sony really need to be aggressive early on, because whether your friend has the consoles will determine the winner. We have to see if the xbox One outsells them in june, if it doesn't things look grim, but if it's close then we just have to see how it does in November when people are updating for call of duty. Call of…

They're not losing 7 to 5, because they haven't sold 5 million consoles. Outside of the US and the UK the xbox one is getting it's ass kicked. More markets won't change that unless it takes off in China. Europe belongs to Playstation but the battle is in the UK. The ps4's stupid expensive in Brazil I think. The US is…

Can you record gameplay for Mario Kart 8? Because that's a big reason why it makes sense for DriveClub to have an app, it's attempting to build a community and a sport. Even if you can't this is still kind of a cool thing. Not into mario kart myself but a mobile app makes it feel like something bigger than just one…

Would you like me to explain why the vita doesn't have the support the psp has so you can stop being mad at whatever it is you are mad at?

Not really. People still have money to spend on things other than food and shelter. It's more likely that the vita is owned by more enthusiast gamers. So they may be spending more money on games, and putting more thought into their purchases, but spending less money on other things people enjoy.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I think the psp is a poorly designed console. Same for the 3ds. That has no bearing on how much people enjoy their console, nor was it intended to. I own a psp. I've enjoyed some really unique games for it. Doesn't change my opinion that the Vita is a much better designed…

Oh and Over My Dead Body 2, or Oreshika, is an rpg on the way as well. No idea if it will be good though.

And I'd like more good rpg's too, but tbh, from where I'm standing there's significantly less of them to go around for every platform. The vita's gained some ground in japan though so that could change.

Ahhh so you're more a disappointed owner who really loved the psp games.

How come I can't imagine finding a picture of someone holding a PS Vita being easy?

Indies are the exact opposite of shovelware, so that wouldn't really make any sense.

Sounds erotic. Thank you!

The psp is actually a horribly designed console. A playstation 1 with only one analog, and a terrible analog at that. Terrible UMD's. Some UMD games I just can't play at all because of a home button error. The truth is the psp was propelled mainly by the playstation brand, it was a trash console itself. The vita is…

"PSP was highly regarded for its JRPGs" True but irrelevant.

Can anyone who went to pax tell me if the crowds weren't so into the vita? I heard that there was audible groaning whenever it was mentioned on stage :( . I've also heard lots of developers want to be on the platform.
