Sony have failed to ship them after they initially sold out of the Borderlands 2 bundle.

No it's really sony's fault. An incredible handheld was built, and even in it's approach to certain things acknowledged the changes in the market, unlike the 3ds, but sony made the giant failure of aiming it at the wrong audience.

Sony's incredible gift for having great ideas then throwing them away like they were someone else's and they don't know what to do with them continues.

No not really. Because you're opinion is that games for other people makes a console less attractive. Which is crazy because no console exists that has games JUST for you. So I'm not really arguing I'm just trying to figure out how you could believe this.

They just announced a bunch of pretty new experiences. How is giving people who never played these great games an opportunity to do so make a console LESS attractive to you?

o.O I don't understand....

The Unfinished Swan was incredible. Everybody focuses on Journey, and it's also amazing but I feel the Unfinished Swan is overlooked. The game is an achievement.

This game sounds really cool and I'm glad we're getting it. I hope it turns out well and I'm really glad devs have the option of doing episodic story driven games now.

This sounds ruder than I intended it to, for that I apologize.

No no no no no. It was absolutely not more anti-nintendo than anti-handheld. Pachter said the vita was DOA and every week we got a new article about how bad the 3ds was doing but in the context of tablets and mobile have decimated handheld gaming. Even the "consoles are doomed" thing was in full swing. We had plenty…

Can you link me to a kotaku article that says anything like that? The 3ds got hype before it released, then like all consoles reality set in. The vita got hype, but I don't remember seeing any narrative of "3ds killer" outside of comment sections. I remember two vita articles. "Ignored excellence" and the positive…

No not really. Before the 3ds released people were pretty excited for it. I couldn't figure out why but I hear it had a really good e3 showing so people were looking forward to metal gear solid and resident evil. It's after it's sales slowed, and the games didn't come as fast as people wanted, that the doom set in.…

Well yeah. My point is that I don't remember any of the articles being in the context of "they are waiting for the vita". There were a lot about how mobile and tablets has killed handheld gaming. And while handheld gaming isn't dead, this is looking to be the worse selling nintendo handheld in probably over ten years.…

Oh so do I, but they weren't in the context of "The vita will destroy it!" or "people are just waiting for the vita". They were about handheld gaming dying. Like really we would get a new article every week about the death of handheld gaming. It's only after it starting taking off that the articles calmed down.

I think the 2ds is a great concept and a very nintendo redesign, and the 3ds xl feels great, but jesus christ the first 3ds was literally the worst handheld I've ever held. It's pretty awful. The ads was very poorly conceived to begin with, but the original 3ds felt terrible to hold and use.

Yeah that wasn't actually the case. Some likely said that, but what you're probably experiencing confirmation bias. Hype for the 3ds before release was very high. Hype for the vita was pretty good too because of all the games sony was showing off. They had an article here for the vita about "ignored excellence". And…

Clamshell vita, got it. With better speakers anyway.

It broke so I just grabbed a plain phone and activated it. The UI on mine was pretty great and I miss how easy it was to use, but i don't really miss the multimedia functions that much. It helps that I use my vita for music though.

When I had a smartphone Triple town was the only game I played regularly. I'm really glad these guys got the opportunity to make a game for consoles. Congrats, best of luck to them, and I can't wait to play it on vita!

That's really the only audience. People who don't have access to other devices. Unless the particular kid or casual gamer has heard a lot about bioshock from other people, I can't help but wonder what on earth would attract them to this game. I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't bring in that many new fans.
