People underrating the vitas library, it does need more unique vita exclusives. KZ mercenary alone is amazing portable experience, there are a lot of great games, it just needs more recognizeable names like GTA, God of war and advertising. Many don;t even know what are available on vita.

to each their own i guess, all i know is as a competitive pokemon player XY has such great Quality filled with Quanity, just crazy!

Yes, because somehow, by Sony's miraculous power, the vita will be able to achieve negative sales with its price cut and a fall/winter lineup of games that is one, more quanity than last year, and second better quality than last years.

Guess it will be a sight to behold.

?? developers DUH. Sony IS using their first party (Tearway, KZ mercenary), and more will come, and AS the install base grows you will see more third party games on vita, its a marathon not a sprint, sony will support vita for 8-10 years. My bet is eventualyl Sony will help Rockstar make a GTA game for vita.

I agree with most that the vita's software line up isnt killer but its decent, so in the short term they should focus on marketing, first striking a deal with Ubi to market Rayman legends heavily for PSvita this september, alongside agressive marketing for killzone. Essentially every month they should market 2 new games, as promoting the idea of a healthy library is crutial. Unless you're nintendo your system doesnt succeed off one magical killer app. Again come this november they should have Arkham origins: blackgate exclusively marketed for the Vita alongside Tearaway. Minecraft vita doesnt have a release date but they should 110% prioritise it over the PS4 version, so it can release this november.

Looking further into the future they need to start encouraging japanese devs to bring their vita games over to the west. The system could easily become the go to place for the japandroids amongst us. Phantasy Star Online 2, Gundam breaker, God eater 2 could all fill Q1 2014.

At some point next year they simply need to remove the requirement for people to buy memory cards and just include 16GB internal memory in each system.

Finally, The gaikai streaming of PS3 games should first be prioritised for the Vita. A few months of exclusivity before it arrives for the PS4 (for which it isn't a key selling point) would be huge for the Vita. Here it should be accompanied by a second price drop and a new model featuring additional R2/L2 buttons behind the L1/R1 buttons. They should release a gamepad attachment for home use.

What a game!!!! The 1st reason i got my vita. Ps plus+vita = totally worth it!

The gaikai idea you put here is a very good idea.

I don't get the blind hate vita seems to get, the hardware is amazing, easily the best handheld gaming device ever made, and the game library is a LOT better then people want to admit, it could be better sure but there are lots of good games now.

Sony NEEDS to improve the awareness and get the name vita more recognizeable. Advertise more, make some promotion deals, get a GTA , even if it means help funding the game.

I think the Vita has a decent library, which could be better if more of the Japanese games got localizations to the West. I often see people complain about the handheld not receiving AAA support, but many AAA developers are geared towards home consoles, where many of those types of titles do not seem to be as appealing as a handheld title.

I think inventive titles like Tearaway, a solid push for Japanese-developed gaming (where many developers aren't really utilizing AAA budgets) for western gamers who enjoy Japanese games like traditional turn-based or tactical RPGs, and great support for independent titles could help Sony carve out a niche in the handheld market this generation.

If Sony managed to get Square-Enix to release an enhanced port of Final Fantasy VI on the Vita, instead of the IOS and android like they've done with IV or V, I would put down money for the Vita in a heartbeat.

The biggest problem with the Vita library for me is most games are available on systems I already own. The only reason I would want a Vita right now is Tearaway and Uncharted Golden Abyss
