Damn this final fantasy advert!

Is everyone enjoying Assassins Creed on it? What about CoD?

Uncharted is surprisingly portable-friendly. 



Not very good in terms of sales and it won't until the Japanese stop making PSP games. In terms of quality and games, it's doing very well, especially for a system that so many pathetic people want to fail.



Right now, not so good. 

The Vita is a good handheld, but has a few faults. It needs a pricecut to $200, and something to make the Japanese buy it. The games are good, but the price is a bit expensive. 



Tech wise: Great!

Software wise: meh (at least imo)

Sales wise: Horrible

Did Assassins Creed Liberation get patched? I bought it, played for about an hour, was very amused with the whole mechanics and tossed it into a corner. The Uncharted card game might be one of the best games on this device which is very sad.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Played on my virtually every day since I bought it on launch. It's such a great system. There's some great games on it at the moment and I'm sure next year will bring many more. Been hooked on gravity rush recently. Can't believe it took me until last week to buy it. Playstation all stars and Assasins creed liberation are fantastic on the vita too.

Such a shame its not selling well. More people have to buy one. Things have been looking a bit more positive recently though.



great tech
great games(never got so many good and/or interessting games on a system in the first year of launch)
(wipeout,uncharted,escape plan,zero escape2,persona etc)

only mistake ;no mario or monster hunter(without mario the 3ds woudln't have reached 5 mio sales till now) and as people are not willing to think for themselves they only buy what is hyped or has a great pr.
One mistake from sony;they did only half the job a good company has to do.The game support is good but they simply forgot half of the systemsellers.One uncharted and one LBP and killzone to come but where are GT,Ratchet,
GOW,gta sa hd?
Another thing is that nintendo simply bought the most important psp title;monster hunter(therefore i hope that the Wii U will fail.If a company is not willing to produce
new ip's and is ignoring core gamers thx to the wii casual crap succes,they should't be allowed to buy exclusivity.thx to nintendo people were forced to play monster hunter or dragon quest with extreme ugly graphics last gen style)



Vita is a good piece of hardware. The downside is, that it has only Gravity Rush so far, that is appealing to me. I hope Sony will keep supporting it and it gets more interesting games for me (I know it has many interesting games, but not so much for me). The sales are bad, no doubt. I hope that can be turned around, like for PS3.

Vita is selling at an OK rate. Price drop and major intregration with PS4 should give it a nice lift. in sales. If publishers get supporting Cross-Play then the word will also get out to the general public about this cool little feature which could also help shift systems. It just needs to be well supported and mentioned in every PSV ad.
