Did the Vita fail yet?

it's still too expensive for that lineup.

I wasn't aware that there was a PS2 version. I knew there were some odd PS2 versions of Ys games, but almost all of them are in Japanese, not developed by Falcom, and generally considered meh.

But I do love the US version of Ark of Napishtim on the PS2. It's Konami's port, but they did a good job.

Tonkin House developed Mask of the Sun. Hudson Soft developed Dawn of Ys. Neither of which were actually developed by Falcom.

I had a feeling that was the case

Well it looks like even the majority of Japanese think the Vita is worthless. I would like the see the vs sales of the Vita units in Japan vs every where else.

Those numbers are the total sales since launch, and PSV has the most recent launch date. Compare that to the 360 which is launched 7 years ago with a total only doubles what the PSV has sold within half a year.

Of course, most Japanese don't like XBOX. That is still a really low number for the Vita.

Quit exaggerating.

Waiting for it to be hacked to play the PSX back catalog...and maybe Dragon Crown.

No UMD Passport Program for You!

wow, I just did a tally of my little collection of psp games and if I want to play them on the vita I would have to spend 75 BUCKS to get the downloadable versions.

Meanwhile, Japanese gamers get to download digital versions of their UMDs at steep discounts. And I don't believe the reasons Sony trotted out as justification for that.

I feel your pain.

Im keeping my Firmware low in hopes it gets CFW. I have a ton of UMDs and PS1 games from days back and hope to see the games on my screen. Just a random hope...I want Arkham City on it!!

Isn't the Half Byte Loader already available for Vita? It should still be installable with a low firmware. If you have a PS3 with CFW, you can also enable remote play for every PS3 game so you can play them on your Vita.

The Vita is now an established success, just google "Droid X360"

Neorebel · Aug 13, 2012

I kind of want one of these. Need some of these rpgs to come out and a price drop. My friend has one and it sure is an attractive piece of gadgetry to hold...

Fortune · Aug 14, 2012

It's a great piece of hardware.

The developer support for it isn't very good so far. Hopefully it will improve soon.

PSOne Classics support is supposedly being added in the 1.80 firmware update on August 28th.

It's about damn time! Sounds like I need to put my Vita back on the charger.

SNKorSWM · Aug 14, 2012

The question is, when is PS2 support going to be offered. After all, the PSP already got the PSOne support covered.

I really don't see PS2 support anytime soon to be honest.

Hot Chocolate · Aug 15, 2012

It was one of their selling points went they brought up the gfx display being either as good or better then those on the PS2

Fortune · Aug 16, 2012

The news is apparently a couple days old, but I just stumbled upon it today:

Don't you mean has it succeeded yet?

IMO the Vita is a failure until proven successful...

With that logic then every system that comes out is a failure until their second year

Pretty much. The Christmas season of the first year makes or breaks the momentum.
