Maybe because there's a giant freakin' leap between the 3DS and Vita. Like, a whole generation. Performance wise I mean.
wait until you hear reports on how children have managed to flick the carts into there eye's, fox news will be all over this shit.iceatcs said:

Didn't stop the likes of Sengoku Basara 3 or Tales of Graces (f) appearing on both Wii and PS3.

3DS to Vita is also a smaller performance jump than Wii to PS3/360. Still a "generational" difference, but a smaller difference none the less.Die Squirrel Die said:
I can see 3DS lead / Vita port making a lot of sense for many devs, especially in Japan. Chunsoft, Level 5, who's next?
Pleasing news - Sony put up there 'Hyper' magazine from TGS online a little while ago, and per some earlier mutterings, it does indeed seem to confirm universal screenshot functionality. You press the PS button + START to capture a screenshot at any time.

The 'H' stands for hentai.

Yeah, any console should have offered this from the start.
As if I didn't want the Vita enough, there is yet another awesome feature that will get me to be a first-day buyer.

Vita has enough RAM that if they've been clever and reserved enough for the OS. . .then we could see some very good functionality additions down the line.
Here's hoping.

That's a very thoughtful feature. If they could combine that with the ability to immediately and easily post it to an online service (such as a photo sharing service or social network), then this could easily become a major attraction, and a reason for someone to prefer playing their portable games on the PS Vita.
While they're at it, they should ensure that the ability to upload video footage from a game to YouTube (similar to what PS3 does now) is also included in the operating system.
Agent X said:
I think having an option to auto mirror to a service like flickr would be nice.
In the absence of that you could flick open a browser and upload it manually, then share it wherever you like - an extra step,but no more than print-screen on my PC (although I'm sure someone will tell me now about an app that automatically sends print-screen captures to the cloud
).However, I do wonder what this means:
http://ie.playstation.com/psvita/news/articles/detail/item398043/PS-Vita-introduces-multimedia/
That's under the Photo Viewer app description - so maybe you can link a twitter account to that app, and more easily upload pics directly from that app to something like twitpic, without having to use the browser.
But, again, worst case scenario you'll open a browser, upload it somewhere, then share using the browser or one of the other social network apps. You'll be able to do all that in-game.
Agent X said:
Would be lovely, but no mention of that. An app could theoretically do it if it had permission to look at any game's framebuffer while it's running, but I think that's kind of unlikely to happen. I do recall, though, that the nico nico people were talking about wanting to include live broadcasting in their Vita app, to let people broadcast games live - but maybe if they do that it will require developer cooperation.

I played the VITA yesterday!!!!!
I had an opportunity to play Escape Plan. I was more interested in the system itself than the game, luckily the game makes good use of all the Vita features.
The weight of the system is fine and it's not as big as some of the pictures suggest that I've seen posted on here. I wasn't blown away by the screen as I'd hoped but that might simply be due to Escape Plan's colour scheme.
So glad I got to play it!

I played it yesterday too! 
I got to play Little Big Planet and I wasn't really blown away like I thought I would be. Maybe because I overhyped myself but I don't know. For me, it just didn't have that "WOW!" factor.
I agree with DoctorWho that it wasn't as large as some pictures shown here and when I was comparing it with my 3DS, it was only about an inch larger from the left and right sides. The weight is fine but I don't see this fitting in my pockets.
The back touch pad is... okay. It felt more of a distraction playing LBP because it didn't seem to be that accurate? and always seemed to detect my fingers when I was just holding the system up normally. I did play it twice though and it was better the second playthrough. Maybe I just need to get used to it.
I like the small analog sticks and has a pretty good feel to it and the buttons as well. I was surprised how tiny the buttons and the analog stick was as well. But it feels so goood.
So happy I finally got to play it

You both say the system weight wasn't an issue but did the system have a battery in it? Everyone else has played it tethered and minus the battery making the system rather light. Was this battery based?jokkir said:I played it yesterday too!

A hint: battery can't be removed.
On twitter Gamepro posted a link (which was broken) and said that Vita would not be able to play PsOne games. Was this in error or is there some thruth to it?
I can't find anything on their website.
edit: found this on thesixthaxis.com:
According to a recent PlayStation Vita FAQ posted by SCEJ, the firms upcoming handheld will not support PsOne Classics or TurboGrafx-16 games downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
The FAQ states that PSP software downloaded from the store will carry over with the exception of Game Archive titles. Sony has said that it will address the issue in more detail at a later date.
edit2: on siliconera (which sixthaxis took it's news from) they have updated their story and says that:
The US PlayStation Vita FAQ says PlayStation Vita will run PsOne Classics. (Thanks to everyone for pointing this out!) The Japanese FAQ states PlayStation Vita will run downloads from the PlayStation Store, however Game Archives, which consists of PsOne Classics and TurboGrafx-16 games, are not included in that statement. Thats kind of strange since the US FAQ says PsOne Classics will run on Vita. Perhaps, the issue is with TurboGrafx-16 emulation? Sony released a few of these in North America and the PlayStation Vita FAQ in North America doesnt mention these at all. Siliconera apologizes for the error and confusion.

I'd think it would be an error. The PSP could, why would the Vita not?

My local store has some Vita cases so I did a size comparison for you.
PS3>PSP>VITA
Sorry if this post is messed up I'm using my iPad.

A real life box comparison from DJmizuhara & RedSunGamer on Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/RedSunGamer)...PS3 box, PSP box and then the Vita one on top. The mockup above looks pretty spot on. I presume the cardboard sleeve is just for the promo box.

A few more are on that linked twitter feed.

No worries Go Freak.
Yeah most Japanese store have a cardboard promo box for the games, boxes are always the same dimensions as the real box.
