Inafune: Vita won't benefit from a lot of otaku games

"The idea is to have a game that Western audiences will find appealing, while also making sure that it will also sell well here in Japan," Inafune told the PlayStation Blog. "The Western audience must feel willing to play this game. PS Vita is not going to benefit if you just have a lot of otaku games on it - you need something like this. It needs dark and deep titles like Soul Sacrifice."

That's basically every thread like this. In all honesty, who approaches a thread like this and thinks "Well, this is going to end well." They never do, they're always terrible, it always ends with a bunch of lame ass bullshit. Like there's no point these threads should exist outside of dramamongering.

These threads would be fine if you guys didn't constantly bitch and moan about it. For the first couple of pages, it's all reasonable discussion so just quit whining.

Posting a news thread about the Vita not doing well = not trolling or "dramamongering"
Posting a news thread where a Sony executive discusses the Vita = not trolling or "dramamongering"

Why was this fine but all of sudden, when it's about the Vita, "OH MY GOD, THE NINTENDO FANBOYS ARE EVERYWHERE".

You forgot they also lead to assblasting and blatant fanboyism.

If people was willing to stop bringing console wars into this, the threads could work.After all, all Soulx posted was a comment from one of Sony's higher ups about how the Vita needed to create a clear image of what it is and what it is about.

On an internet forum about video games, you may as well ask for a utopian communist society. It's great and all but it's never gonna happen.

I'm also a bit tired of the "don't shoot the messenger" thing here. We didn't need this message, it wasn't important news at all. If it was we'd have it in the USN but we've basically put a ban on it. I see these threads pop up like weeds in General Gaming and once they hit my little news feed I know exactly what to expect. It's gonna be a circlejerk of hating and a bunch of poo flinging. Eventually it gets locked, a mod gives a stern finger wag to everyone involved, and then we wait a couple of days for the next pile of poo to appear on our lawn.

EDIT: I think there's a difference between a messenger and a demagogue.

Speaking of which, I think now is a good time for a lock.

MOD TEAM ASSEMBLE.

7 pages, 3 threats of violence and a great loss of dignity.

Well, lets review how far this prediction went?

We're not at seven pages yet, I haven't read any threats yet and anyone who posted seriously in this thread had no dignity to begin with.

it is much to hope for that people could be mature about it yes, but perhaps we should just have a thread where people can go apeshit and argue about there favourite consoles somewhere? Just seems silly that when some Sony higher up mentions what the company is going to attempt to do business wise we get a load of haters going "Well at least it is not a 3DS" as an excuse for all shortcomings

Page 5 convinced me that there is no hope for this thread.

Closed.
