Guy Longworth of Sony's brand marketing has announced that a Call of Duty title will drop for the Vita this "fall", but when pressured into more details would not give up the name of which COD title it will be or if it will be a new title all together. Longworth said that bringing the money spinning series to Vita would be a "game changer" but I'm not too sure.
I suppose bringing the worlds highest selling game to your device can only be a good thing and I'm not deputing that specifically but I still don't think its going to be enough, and the rumours are that it will be a pre-existing COD title which take the shine off the announcement somewhat.
It may seem as if I'm against the Vita in some of my posts but that is not true, I want it to succeed, as I want every console to succeed because I'm a gamer and these consoles succeeding is a good thing for the gaming industry but I just know that unless something changes in the Vita's price structure it ultimately won't be a success and will go the way off the its predecessor the PSP.
The Vita as a piece of kit is impressive, and the way games look on the device is stunning, it has internet browsing, you can watch films, listen to music, there is every reason that it should succeed, but bringing it out at £280 and charging £35-40 per game will sink the Vita's ship, and the saddest part about that for me is that it is so obvious to everyone that this will happen, Sony at some point need to learn how to price a console.
