I meant I'd buy the games that are already out.
I had hoped for PS2 Final Fantasy ports, but at this point, I'm assuming this is all the Vita has, and seeing any great new game as a bonus.

Even if there was one in the works I doubt KojiPro would let them announce it with MGR releasing soon and Ground Zeroes being next in line.
Like they 'protected' the release of MGS3:3D?

So what other TGS conferences are there and when?

M-C is pushing both Vita and PS2 !!!!
It's coming... bwahahaha
(I'll answer the pending posts from the last MC thread later)
Tekken performs so weak! I think it's just a 90s brand and can't really break away from that. It's had it's day.
Good sales for Medarot. I thought it might underperform a lot.
I guess Art Academy could grow from this... or equally die.
NSMB2 sales stabilising; of course they're pretty disappointing compared to what we thought they would do.
Overall, the industry as we know it is changing catastrophically. I don't see much positive in anything these days.

Kakao must be happy. 
Ok, but following your previous reasoning, this MGS Vita should be a 2014 title, right? Probably too late to reinvigorate the console, isn't it?

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
OT but I want to know too, is there a thread with the times etc like there was for the Nintendo Directs?

Wow, I'm sad.. Vita is tanking, and after the conference, I see no hope with my beautiful Vita. I usually don't mind purchasing an underperforming system, as long as I can get at least 7-10 great games for it (that interest me) but at this rate...

Vita's yearly sales have been out done in less two months by a revision that doesn't replace the previous hardware. Something is very wrong here.

I think it's just because Namco keeps taking so damn long to release their console versions. I imagine outside of the diehard Tekken fanbase, most have had their fill of the game in arcades by now.
That's just my own speculation on why the series underperforms on consoles despite being so popular in the arcade...maybe someone with more expertise can correct me if I'm completely off point here.
The franchise has been in huge decline last gen.
Dark Resurrection did decently considering, but the gap between that and Tekken 6 was 3 years.
Also, that's not too good for Samurai Warriors Chronicles 2nd.
Shame, the 1st one was good, and ended up having decent legs, but I don't think this'll benefit.

Possible less than 300k total?

Releasing Tekken titles more frequently would only hasten the death spiral. Look what good yearly releases did for Blazblue...

With such a piss poor line up this autumn I'm wondering if it'll even manage 200k for December
Edit - in fact I doubt it will, last year PSP managed 310k over the last 5 weeks of the year, typically vita is doing (much) less than half what PSP managed last year, I really can't see anything that could change that even slightly
In Japan, the franchise remained relatively stable.
Continuum Shift did better than Calamity Trigger even (Continuum Shift II on PSP was also up over Calamity Trigger).
I've only got numbers for 1 week of Continuum Shift Extend, which was released at the end of the year.
It was lower than both, but not a significant drop like other series.
Nah, Sony is a huge company, they gave a target for FY, revised it down (slightly) and since the company is huge they'll hit the revised target easily.

I've been thinking about picking up Art Academy once it hits the States in a few weeks, but, from what I've gathered, it looks like Colors 3D is still the king and it cost me 3 times less what I'm thinking Art Academy will retail for.
Can someone (anyone) justify purchasing the new Art Academy for me? Has anyone played the DS version?

Nothing really important, I was just surprised to see sarcastic comment by both Road and Chris1964 on the same day, the majority of time they make serous post, so I was surprised. Nothing wrong with sarcastic comment.

Why did I come in here? Now I'm just even MORE depressed for my Vita. Shit.
PSP is selling more?
Good for 3DS though, continuing domination.

Considering how bad Sony is at setting reasonable goals, I expect they'll lower the combined PSP/Vita estimate from 12m to 10m when they report their mid-year results, and then from 10m to 8m when they report their Q3 results. It'll fail to meet that too, of course.

PSP has been selling more since the thing launched. It's actually much rarer for the opposite to happen.
Yeah 300k was way too much. 150-200k sounds much more likely if that because the system has no appealing game at all this holiday

You are probably right, they certainly don't seem to like admitting they're wrong
Yeah. The hardware is great, but Sony never even bothered to secure third-party support.
I was wondering if something happened during Sony Conference (I didn't follow it), like revised forecast or something.
Or first party support for that matter.
IMO the fighting games market is crashing again, especially in Europe and America. I think that DOA5 will perform badly too. The fact that both games release are so close will make the numbers for both even worse. P4A was succesfull because of the strenght of the franchise in Japan.
No, nothing that I know, It would be pretty hilarious if Sony revised on the low the forecast for the Vita and then tell everyone about it on the TGS conference. But with Sony you never know.

Depends how you define big, project x zone should do a couple of hundred thousand, then there's girls mode which is a bit of a wild card

I'm no video game expert, but why didn't Sony lock up MH for the Vita? Did Nintendo just beat them to it?
Ask Capcom.
