No.

but vita is life!

>>378836132
I guess that's why they couldn't kill it no matter how hard they tried. So they left it in zombie mode.

Ask Kaz how he feels aobut Spike from Ape Escape and Kat from Gravity Rush being together

stats man is fucking savage, is he always like this?

>>378837018
There is a market for handhelds, just not Sony ones.

>>378836091
Sony funded SFV
Sony funded the Ghostbusters reboot

Does anyone think they wouldn't be willing to do something that stupid?

>>378837018
Sony's handhelds have been horrible clusterfucks. PSP because of how easily hacked it was, and PSV because of how poorly it sold and how few good games it has. Sony should stay the fuck out of the handheld game.

By the way, nobody ever said there's no market for handhelds, you fucking donkey.

>>378837097
>PSP because of how easily hacked it was
I thought this was what helped the sales?

>>378837374
Yeah but then no one ever bought the games because of how easy pirating was

>me on the right

>>378836780
People wanted another handheld after the PSP too apparently. The sales obviously don't reflect that demand.

>>378837446
Point to the post saying "people don't want handhelds" while not also saying "people don't want sony handhelds"

Go ahead I'll wait

> make handheld easy to pirate
> nobody ever bought games, game sales number suffers, handheld deemed a failure
> make handheld difficult to pirate

Welp

>>378837048
It's a parody account, not a fake one.

>>378837440
The games actually sold well despite this, the PSP was a successful system and the best non-Nintendo handheld of all time both in terms of quality and sales.

I wonder how many people ITT know that this is a parody account?

>>378837619
>nobody bought the system because they can't pirate
Yes. That is the exact reason the Vita sold poorly, no definitely not any other reason.

>>378837440
not to mention how slow-as-fuck the UMD format was
any games i owned i ended up pirating anyways

>>378837018
The only handheld there is a market for is Nintendo one.

Western devs don't make handheld games, every Jap handheld dev is already on board with Nintendo.

It's over.

>>378837876
Yeah, the UMD fucking sucked. "Entered another area, did you? Let me play you the song of my people."

Tales of the World Radiant Mythology 2
1,131,319 downloads worth 5,603 million yen ($61 million)


No matter how "well" the games sold, that's a lot of fucking piracy

>>378836780
All they have to do is fix the OS, and put the memory cards into production. It's cheaper than developing a whole new handheld.

>>378837967
UMD Video was brilliant though. We can have hentai games on psp thanks to that.

>>378838162
I can assure you that over 90% of the downloads wouldn't have ever bought the games, let alone a PSP.

>>378838000
They don't have the kind of money they used to.

>>378838227
>over 90% of the downloads of a psp game onto a psp system wouldn't have ever bought a psp

What?

Are you saying that 90% of the people pirating games on the psp wouldn't have even bought a psp if they weren't so easy to pirate on?

If that is true, wouldn't that have caused the psp to be even more of a flop?

>>378838162
where do these stats come from?

I honestly doubt there are even 1/10 as many people that care about a castrated versions of PS2 and DW

>>378838353
Emulation is a thing. PSP has been perfectly emulatable for years. Also these stats are clearly false.

>>378836132
Vita a shita!

Speaking as someone who lives in a third world country, this is true. "Piratability" is the main consideration when purchasing a new system for the majority of people.

I forget, is siliconera one of the websites that /v/ has decided to hate

>>378838419
Oh right, I forgot all about emulators.

And yeah, not every single download represents a missed sale since many wouldn't have ever bought the game even if it wasn't pirateable.

>>378838505
I want to see Kaz go up on stage and shout "RIIIIDGE RACEEER" again.

>>378838581
>And yeah, not every single download represents a missed sale since many wouldn't have ever bought the game even if it wasn't pirateable.
And illegal download number doesn't represent the number of times it was illegally copied. In some countries where the majority of people are still on dial up / metered 3G, there are shops where you can copy a bunch of game ISOs for 10 cents a title.

>>378838162
On a side note, I'm still fucking pissed off at how fast Phantasy Star Portable 2 went to shit. A few months in and you couldn't find a single lobby that didn't have some faggot cheater with their special characters in their names or colored letters and level 200 with maxed stats and all the end game weapons. Fuck those people.

>>378838581
That site does not cite the sources/methodology at all, so they might just as well be pulled out of an ass.

The only thing they do cite is that other organisation did the research and google only gives me the links on various tabloids histeria about piracy that claim this organisation to be the source, with no actual sources ofcourse.

Also I can't hate the site I've never even heard of before :P

>>378838840
Unfortunately the link to the translated report 404s and I have no clue where to find the original japanese report

>>378838189
>fix the OS, and put the memory cards into production
Explain?

>>378838162
Wow it sure is terrible how pirates literally took millions of dollars out of those game developers wallets
I can't believe all of those studios went bankrupt and never developed successful sequels/follow ups
Oh wait all those games still sold well regardless of piracy and DID get sequels/follow ups in most cases (Duodecim, PS Portable 2 Infinity, MH Portable 3rd, FF Type-0, etc.)
The only thing piracy actually hurt was localization, and yet most worthwhile games still got localized in the end

>>378839587
>The only thing piracy actually hurt was localization, and yet most worthwhile games still got localized in the end

Yeah, after a long fucking time.

But guess who is back to their typical "fuck the west and their money" mindset?

Sega.

Portable infinity and PSO2 will NEVER come to the west now.
