The Vita will kick ass in the years to come. PS3 also had a slow start, as well as the 3DS.
Those systems had some demand to begin with. No one wants the Vita.

ps3...we saw how well that went.
Still the Vita not being hacked is probably why it won't do psp numbers anyway.
Unless all these people that bought psp ground it to dust to put in their meal or something.

The PSP had rampant piracy didn't it? I guess that is a contributing factor. I think it also affects the 3DS in a negative way too. I'm pretty sure DS flashcarts were huge for the DS when they came out.
I think you are mistaken - it isn't Wii U thread.
People want Vita but it needs to be cheaper and have more games.
? Well that the same problem wiiu Is faceing lolI think you are mistaken - it isn't Wii U thread.

vita 35k
wiiU 55k
maybe nintendo should focus on 3DS.
there's your logic.

I love how people are acting like Joe Gamer enter a store and see a Vita look at the price of the mem cards and decide that it's just not for him but if only that was cheaper he would have bought one and told all his friends how awesome it is and now all his friends would be Vita addicts somehow.
You know, Sony wouldn't be losing money on the Vita hardware if only they made it a phone and sold it with a contract.
Which people, I wanna laugh too.
Binding of Isaac, Hotline Miami, Lone Survivor...
Supposedly, there's more to come soon.
Those are all indie games though, which like I said are welcome, I'm talking about a big retail title.
what were they doing in 2012?
Gaming on the iPad mini is excellent, despite having touch controls. In contrast, when I tried the Vita I immediately thought the screen was too small.
Make a big screen Vita and I will seriously consider it.

You're releasing a new console this year
You should probably focus more on that instead on a zombie handheld

This line of thinking makes no sense. Vita is having a rough first year so the first thing to do is...scrap it completely and pretend it never happened?
If Sony wants it to be successful they need to focus MORE on it, not less.

They don't even want it in Japan.Keep telling yourself that.

They put out a bunch of awesome games and it still didn't sell that well.
So they're cutting the price. Mystery solved.
Other than Gravity Rush, what awesome game did Sony put out in 2012 in Japan?
Also, it took them the whole 2012 to realize they need to cut the price, especially giving up the holiday period?
Brilliant.

Sony tends to not give up on their flops quickly. For instance they kept pushing the MiniDisc format long after it clearly wasn't going to succeed.
Strangely they did with PSP Go...I definitely don't see it happening twice.
Vita isn't selling, or rather it is selling at sub-dreamcast levels
better to focus on a platform that has a chance of selling well for both business reasons and the fact they will reach more consumers
dedicating resources to the vita will be nice for the tiny number of people who actually bought one. but for those of us smart enough to avoid the vita it's just annoying, and we outnumber vita owners by a lot
LOL - ya right... I think they're trying like crazy to crack it... THEY ARE FAILING... Basically the Vita's a tough nut to crack...That's probably the missing link on why the Vita is doing so much worse than the psp,
not even hackers care about hacking the thing to get freebees.
Heck that's why people didn't buy any psp software to begin with, Vita probably sell as much software anyway, which would indicate that mass piracy was never the problem of the psp but merely that the offer wasn't interesting enough to warrant a purchase.
MiniDisc was actually quite popular in the music industry, and found a niche there for a number of years... My friends and I used ours for home recording and swapping music for ages, and I'm sure it was ultimately quite profitable for Sony; they only discontinued it when it was clear that digital memory was superseding the disc as a storage medium...Sony tends to not give up on their flops quickly.

How are PSVita North American sales compared to Sega Dreamcast's?
They're slowly building their library and I love it. I take comfort in the fact that I'm covered for at least another year. We got some good ones coming up:
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus 2
Killzone Mercenary
Soul Sacrifice
Tearaway
Dragon's Crown
Hotline Miami
DOA 5+
Muramasa Rebirth
What I'm hoping for between tonight and E-3
God of War
Infamous
GTA
PS2 games through Gaikai
Nah, this is a good platform. It's already got great games and more to come. I'm a little worried but not enough to think it's going to completely die.
Edit:
Well that was part of the PSP platform, they just gave up on that version. They did the same with the original PS3's but they didn't completely kill off the PS3 as a system, just certain versions. If you noticed, they dropped the price of the 3G vita to the same price as the WiFi Vita in Japan. I bet they're phasing that model out. I mean do we really need 3G for the vita?
Just to play devil's advocate, what awesome game did Sony put out in 2012 in Japan for PS3?
Because I see one awesome game for Vita and ZERO homegrown awesome games for PS3. 1 is a bigger number than zero.
They put out a bunch of awesome games and it still didn't sell that well.
Should they have not dropped the price? It seems that might have made you happier.
Keep telling yourself that.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus 2 Port
Killzone Mercenary Killzone has never been a big series
Soul Sacrifice Will only do damage in Japan
Tearaway Too niche
Dragon's Crown Also for the PS3
Hotline Miami Port
DOA 5+ Port
Muramasa Rebirth Port
There's nothing wrong with ports unless they're pretty much the only thing a struggling platform has to offer.Besides, there's nothing wrong with ports, espcially since they're not direct ports. Many of these games have been reworked for the Vita. If there were nobody would buy the MGS HD, God of War HD, DMC HD, Silent Hill HD, or ICO/SotC HD versions.
