Could the PlayStation VR Follow the Same Fate as the PlayStation Vita? How Sony Could Save Them Both
Outside of Japan, the PlayStation Vita has been a device that has balanced between life as well as death numerous times. With a steady stream of games in Japan, the rest of the world has seen very little in the means of big titles, and fans gawking at the relayed information about those titles. While Japan has been certainly enjoying games such as SaGa: Scarlet Grace, Phantasy Star Online 2, Monster Hunter: Frontier G.

With a faltering focus on where the DLC should be, Titanfall troubled itself with a season pass and the lack of a campaign. While there was some story embedded within Titanfall, it truly was troubled in establishing its own identity, and unfortunately it was something that ultimately began to lead to the games downfall due to the paid DLC.
