That is probably the case indeed. But you can play MH on Vita at least

I meant during the launch period. If Tri G is pushing 3DS hardware, why can't the PSN version that supports two sticks?
You're not playing it with only one slider or D-Pad, since you are also using the touch screen, which is far faster and accurate for aiming than any analog stick.
The real problem is that people are so used to Dual Analog, it's hard to change even for better alternatives.
And the real problem with the DS CoD is that they are different games with obviously less appealing graphics. People want the "full" CoD experience.
I don't think COD will be the great vita savior or anything like that xD. But I don't think the vita will die an horrible death either, lets see how things turns out, I know sony won't just let it die that easily and I'm hopeful they will deliver once again like they did with the psp.

I don't know about you, but I don't find covering a quarter of the screen with my hand to aim more faster and accurate

The PSP and DS versions didn't deliver anywhere near a console style CoD experience.

On the PSP it is just the slider due to no touch screen, but i didnt know that the DS version also used touch controls (but it doesnt surprise me much actually).
But yeah, previous handhelds have been limited in their hardware to provide a console CoD experience. The Vita doesnt have full controls like consoles (missing L2/R2 and L3/R3 buttons), but with having dual analog, the biggest issue is at least solved.

You do realize that's even worse right? Vita didn't even make it to week 2 before it died.
3DS did like 370k first week. 200k second week.
In February.
Do you see why we're proclaiming death?
but a good retailer will help a customer get what they want. And perhaps they make moreatfin on bits hardware? And they cam always sell psn cards..
surely there are a decent number of customers in Japan with friends who have mohun on psp? Its not a bad argument.
..and of course the 'fixed' post was likely tongue in cheek

If you're going to play a game during the no game period it may as well be Disgaea.

Makoto was my favorite character from the series. And now shes already dead. That seriously is bizarre how well the two match up.
Probably ,give or take a few months.

In light of the present situation, shouldn't you switch your avatar back to the "Vita is already dead" newspaper?
Trolling aside, has there been any hinting towards that happening?
No. Even when Gravity Daze doesn't sell well, I doubt it'll get ported.
I'll wait for the holidays to end.

Same happens with Mario and Mario Kart, for sure. Oh, wait!
They didn't have proper graphics, controls or multiplayer. Things that can be fixed only in Vita, right now.
Probably, I can still hope however. I never really understood why they didn't allow PSP games to play on PS3, now the platforms are closer in performance it makes even less sense to me.

you need compelling unique experiences to shift units, sticking every game on PS3 as well would be suicide surely?
You'd literally be shifting your market to "people who want to play these games outside the house" where as , say, you want to play Gravity Daze, you HAVE to get a Vita (at least at this point)
Why is that bad though? Sony make money from software royalties, it shouldn't matter which platform those royalties are coming from. If the difference is selling a million units, that's like thirty million dollars Sony are discarding, for no clear reason I can think of.
