Detective Shadzter Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 This just in! PSVita sales shoot up 1000% after latest ad. Please tell me thats not genuine.... It's genuine and old news. I think it was posted in this topic when the news broke all those months back. By the way, there will be a Vita news conference in 7 hours and it will be streamed live. I can't link right now, so if someone could do it I would appreciate. Can't find anything in the latest Google results. It's fake. On all ads like these, there should be some copyright information (small print). The French magazine version does have the copyright info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming Ming Hatsune Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Now I saw a REAL photo, and on that photo I can see small print on this ad, I take back what I said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detective Shadzter Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Found the link for the thing Tmsp mentioned. It's a pre-recorded stream. It goes live in 6 and a half hours at 5pm Japan time, which is 8am GMT. http://www.jp.playstation.com/cp/2013spring_psvita/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solkia Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 So 2:00AM central. I'll probably miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferno Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) ...That ad takes "Touching is good" (from the old NDS ads) to a whole new level. Edited February 18, 2013 by Inferno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSI Wind Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, Sony just lost some respect points from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Lighten up, it's humorous if just plain weird, unlike that old PSP ad, which was just racist and weird 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--- Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Lighten up, it's humorous if just plain weird, unlike that old PSP ad, which was just racist and weird I can see the humor in it, but I admit it's actually quite piggish and could alienate females (which are a chunk of the gaming community) from buying, the sensitive ones at least. Eh, they could've gone a better route for advertising instead of stooping down to the lowest common denominator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming Ming Hatsune Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm going to pretend that I didn't see that ad. To me, that ad never existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solkia Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) What do you think's going to be talked about at this stream? More ports? Edited February 18, 2013 by Solkia-kun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badnik Mechanic Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 This isnt a Wii-u stream. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solkia Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Oh wait, it's just a general Sony stream. Back to complaining about a 4 month old ad then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHCast Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Oh if this isn't the announcement thing on the 20th, then I don't know. Edited February 18, 2013 by Aqua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobkeratops Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Obviously they're gonna cancel the Vita now to get it out of the way for the 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conando Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 This isnt a Wii-u stream. The Vita wishes it even had ports. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detective Shadzter Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Think they just announced a price drop, for the 3G version at least. They opened up by showing a price with the 3G and Wi-Fi version listed. Surely they can't sell the 3G and Wi-Fi version for the same price? Phantasy Star Online 2 is being shown now. Think they said it's out 28th February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conando Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, they said a price drop would happen after the holidays. I guess they meant right after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperLink Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Is this Vita news a worldwide thing or just for Japan? Destructoid reported the price drop but said it was only for Japan. Edited February 18, 2013 by SuperLink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solkia Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Ugh, on top of not knowing Japanese, the stream keeps dropping every few seconds for me. EDIT http://www.psu.com/a018330/PS-Vita-gets-price-drop-in-Japan-US-price-drop-coming Yeah, it's a price drop for both models. to an equivalent of $215 USD/161 EURO supposedly.

Nintendoga Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 There were no new game announcements. I don't know what to say quite honestly.... wait until E3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conando Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) So the only announcement was the price drop? That's pretty bad, the support really isn't looking good. Damnit, as much as I pick on the Vita, I don't want it to fail. I really enjoyed my PSP. I'm hoping, in time, that the Vita becomes the same kind of system. You could find some really cool niche games on the thing. Edited February 18, 2013 by Wreck-It Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbo Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 So the only real news is Vita Japan price drop and also more promises that FFX HD is still on the way. Pathetic. They really dont have much going for this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobkeratops Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I don't think they even care right now, not when they (and Microsoft) have the chance to nuke Nintendo out of console relevancy with a successful PS4 launch. Whatever resources could be available will be better put to use on the home market. I dunno why people hyped a surprise announcement-in-8-hours as some sort of huge game parade tho.

Thigolf Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) I guess because Nintendo does exactly that with their Nintendo Directs? Edited February 18, 2013 by Thigolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobkeratops Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Exactly, they're pre-planned events known several days before that focus on the software line-up/features, as specified. This was neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
