Chris McQuinn from DrinkBox Studios has said some really interesting words of praise (and speculation) in regards to the Playstation Vita and its userbase in an interview with Game Industry. DrinkBox Studios recently revealed their bold new title, Severed, (pictured above) which might be heading to the Vita handheld.

When speaking about the Vita’s userbase, he said:

“Honestly, Vita owners are the ****ing best. People rag on the Vita so much, and I think people who rag on the Vita don’t understand, at least from a business perspective, the purchasing power of Vita owners. Vita owners are serious purchasers of games. It’s an amazing system.”

While the Nintendo 3DS has been selling very well since it hit its stride, the Vita’s sales have been floundering and struggling to make their quarterly sales forecasts. Despite the lack of sales, the platform has been getting consistent support from indie developers. He continued:

“If people don’t see the Vita doing the same number of sales as the 3DS, then it’s automatically a failure.”

Truer words would be hard to find, and since fanboy pride tends to take over the conversation across the internet, it’s sometimes hard to find people pointing out the disparity in a common argument. McQuinn continued:

“But I think what people fail to understand is the purchasers of Vitas are very, very engaged game consumers. For them, the attach rate with games is very high. There might not be a lot of Vitas out there, but the people who do own Vitas are very serious consumers; they buy a lot of games.”

In related news, the Playstation Vita had three huge games revealed today including Soul Sacrifice Delta, Freedom Wars, and Over My Dead Body 2.
