Yep. Not surprising at all.
That DS + 3 guys playing PSP photo need to update with 3 Android tablets and a PSV. LOL.

Vita are you okay?
Just like when Sony Pictures had a giveaway of a Xbox 360. the different branches don't really work together but nobody in this thread will care anyway. Lol Vita!

Sony are just advertising one of their products. Like one of the tweets says
"Hi! For information on PlayStation devices you should follow @PlayStation to get better assistance with your inquiry."
Sony aren't going to make a comparison between devices and their relative quality for playing games, every device is going to be "gaming perfection" "the best ..." whatever.

As someone who lives in a house that gets an unsettling amount of dust build up just over night this vita doesn't surprise me.

Goddamnit Sony, I JUST bought a fucking Vita and you're already trying to kill it. 
I think this is less a sign of Sony giving up on the Vita and more another sign of the different sectors of Sony still being so disconnected from one another. Sony's general twitter posted that. If the PlayStation twitter had posted that, then it'd be real sad.
I still find that to be one of the most peculiar things about Sony. Sony has portable devices including the Vita, its eReader, phones, and tablets, but they don't see to interact with each other. Or at least their PlayStation machines never interact with their other electronics. There's no sense of a "Sony ecosystem," at least not to the same degree as what you see with Apple, Google, Amazon, or Microsoft.
Maybe this highlights that Sony is still at its heart a hardware company. When you look at the whole consumer electronics market and look at the big players, Sony is a hardware company competing against a bunch of software companies. That difference was a big part of the disparity between the PS3 and Xbox 360 when those consoles first launched. Now Sony has been forced to make good operating systems and software apparatuses really just to keep PlayStation competitive with Xbox, but all that has only been for the sake of PlayStation, not other Sony products.
I'm starting to wonder why PlayStation and Xperia are even still separate product lines. We're reaching a point where devices completely dedicated to one purpose can't really be competitive anymore, and the Vita is being hit hardest by that reality.

Skyzard, are you ok?
And why does he play a loading screen?
Nice Sony, great job taking a piss on the people who got the dam Vita ; its such a awesome device and the fact that YOU are insulting the freaking thing when YOU made it is just...really F'ed up man .
I love my Vita (own...man, about 110+ games for it) and really love all the games it has (the screen and controls are just really great
) but you really need to push the system more Sony .
I see Gaf has shown there justified frustrations with this tweet and I'm in full agreement; its cruel to the loyal fans, really stupid when you are trying to SELL the thing and is just really wrong in general. I don't see Nintendo making a Miiverse post saying "Look how good Mario 64 is running on a iPhone emulator! By the way, Mario 64 still isn't on the Wii U VC
"
I don't know, the Vita really is a great system and I really hope it does well, but if Sony themselves have no hope for the system, then how can we hope for its future as well.
I hope this doesn't die like the Dreamcast, as I'm starting to feel like how many Sega fans felt during that time; sad about the failings of their favoirte system that really is for the gamers.

And they wonder why the vita is doing poorly. Who on earth does sony's marketing? They just don't seem to get it some times...

It's not that big of a deal. The Vita isn't for everyone, and this setup is better for what some need out of a product. No reason to make it out to be something it isn't.

If I could stream my PS4 to my ipad and play games with my dual shock 4 on it, I would prefer that over the lesser controls and smaller screen on the Vita

PlayStation Mobile is pretty much the testament to Sony's lack of communication. Sony Ericsson made PlayStation Certified (which meant the thing could play PSM games) a big part of Xperia Play's marketing campaigns. PlayStation Mobile wasn't ready to launch until October 2012. Xperia Play launched in the spring of 2011.

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai or Haganai for short. I thought it was a great anime. Good characters and lots of funny moments.
Back on topic; Wow this is just disgraceful from Sony. They could at least put "Android gaming perfection".
Vita deserves more than this from its own creators.

I want a Vita TV to bring with me when i travel. PSnow, and PS4 remote play!
Sony Xperia tweets about gaming prowess on an Xperia product, nobody should be surprised or offended.
Nobody says "this is spitting in the face of Xperia fans!" when they talk about the Vita's media functions, no need to victimize yourself. Plus objectively it isn't fair to say that either the Vita or Xperia are portable game function, each have their own separate fan bases, games, etc.

I don't know why people are so surprised by the Vita situation. When was the last time you bought an MP3 player? Or a digital camera? Smart phones were the arrival of convergence that many people claimed would never come. Sure, the iPhone battery barely lasts a flight. My digital camera from 7 years ago still takes better pictures. But my iPhone is good enough for the most part, and it means I only have to carry one device. It's the same thing with gaming: for most people, mobile games are enough.
I love my Vita. I use it all the time. But I wanted a dedicated mobile gaming device and I'm ready to stump up the cash for that and to also lug it around. But I'm not part of this huge market.
As long as the Vita keeps getting the type of games it's been getting, I'll be happy. But I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't another Sony handheld.

Wow....u guys are really offended? Sheesh...like clingy girlfriends...lol cellphones and tablets are multi purpose and extremely functional, doesn't mean dedicated hardware will go away, but it might not be what's best for Sony going forward if it's not a cash maker.
Vita is niche...deal with it...nothing wrong with the tweet...and why can't someone at Sony think this is a very cool gaming option even if he knows about vita? Everything doesn't have to be some cohesive marketing campaign my goodness...
Most sensible posts in this thread is Sony being cohesive. Vita, Xperia phones and tablets, ps4 should all have a universal UI, Sony is really behind in this regard. Ms kicking there butts here.

The A7/A7r are Sony's flagship cameras, imagine how idiotic it would be for them to call their Xperia Phones/Tablets the king of photography.
