So why did they stop supporting it with first party titles after a year or two? If not for Japanese market and indie support, the system would've been a complete flop

 

What the fuck dude indies ? Indies don't push firmware updates, who's talking about indies you tool.

 

Of course they make money, a lot of games are digital only.

 

I supported the system until they announced that Catherine full body was cancelled in the west.

 

Big mood. But for me, I'd rather get a PSTV. I saw them at Fry's on clearance for like, $30 a few years back, but didn't buy one because I just thought it was a basic streaming device without any Vita support because of how poorly it was advertised.

Aside from that, I'd honestly like to play PSP games without the grody, awful motion blur of the actual PSP screen, but the financial investment picking up a Vita would require just isn't justifiable if I'm only going to use it for one retail game, and PSP stuff..

 

For the longest time, a year or two after a new generation of gaming started, I'd get a console of my choice from family for Christmas, then around the midway point, or near the end, I'd save up and buy another console with my own money. For the 6th generation, the console I got for Christmas was an original Xbox, then the one I bought later was a PS2. I enjoyed it a lot, but still preferred my Xbox in the end.

When the 7th generation rolled around, I remembered that I had a lot of fun with the PS2 and was considering getting a PS3, but they removed the two things that made it cool to me- OtherOS, and the PS2 backwards compatibility. And aside from that, all of the cool games I was excited about were on the Wii and Xbox 360. So I got the Wii for Christmas, and a 360 around 2013 or so, and played the heck out of both of them. But even to this day, I have just never found a single reason to buy a PS3 or PS4, even taking homebrew into account. Nintendo has their big hitters, Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Smash.. Microsoft has Halo, Forza, Rare.. (And Gears of War, but I'm not that much of a fan, and this is all from my perspective, after all), but to this day, it just sort of seems like Sony doesn't really do much of any first-party stuff, and when they do, it's usually nothing I'm ever that interested in. Even when it comes to simulation racers, I'm sooner to pick up Sega GT 2002 or Forza 6 before I even consider looking into the newest Gran Turismo game.

But, y'know.

 

they keep pushing random updates to ps3 and vita for no reason lol they are basically dead so what is the point really?

 

their systems arent better because they get new patch lol so they arent improving anything really.

 

I'll never understand the internet. If they stop making updates, you guys complain it was abandoned. If they make updates, you guys complain anyways. Oh well.

Obviously there's enough demand to warrant one otherwise they would not waste their money. I don't see it as a bad thing.

 

original wii wil get an update to play just dance 2020 xD
