Lately, I've found that buying physical Vita games is harder than it's ever been. After an unsuccessful run around a couple of stores last night hunting for (what I thought were) reasonably attainable titles, it's clear that the selection in UK high street stores is meagre to say the least. I'm not lamenting the lack of new games on the Vita, more the lack of promoting those that are available. Is there a really low print run on Vita games in general? 'big name' titles aside (CoD, Assassin's Creed), some games just seemed to have disappeared from retail existence, online as well as on the high street. In the end I had to resort to ebay, and this was for brand new copies of games.
I realise the Vita is a perfectly viable system for users who go fully download-only with their games (heck, I have a 32GB card myself). However, for the likes of us who like some of their games to be that little bit more tangible, it feels like Sony either doesn't realise or isn't concerned with the poor availability of Vita generally. I've witnessed gaming retail first-hand since the mid-1980s - if I'm struggling to find what I want (when I know what I want), how are potential new owners ever likely to be swayed towards the Vita?
Vita is my only console (aside from my good old DS Lite).
