Is it me or is the gaming market becoming too over crowded? High profile games launching the same day or close to other games and indie games. Consoles launching close to each other(within a week).
I see it kind of like how movie studios deal with releases. They choose a certain day, and if another studio thinks that they can beat them, they'll put their release date close to try and get the business. For instance, Fast and Furious...whatever number they're on..was released on the same weekend that Hangover 3 was releasing. FF won and Hangover 3 didn't do as well as it could. FF moved in the first place to avoid releasing close to ..I think Iron Man 3?
In a perfect world, having competition promotes growth. You have to gamble and bring all your cards to the table if you want to beat out your competition. Obviously that doesn't always happen, but it makes sense that they'd want to release close to or before/after other similar launches.
But releasing a revamped Vita on the same week that Pokemon comes out is dumb. No if ands or buts about that.
