What a load of bs.

If he means unique by 99% of the games on other consoles, then yeah.  Vita is extraordinarily unique.

a 50$ dollar coupon for a vita with the purchase of a Ps4 would be alot more feasible and sensible.


agreed, much more reasonable.  better yet, make it a rebate.



They want to maintain what makes Vita Vita. What makes Vita Vita is its terrible sales. If they bundle it might sell better which would make it lose that signature.

PS4 and vita.tv bundle makes more sense imo.

What ? why ? Price wise I might agree with you, but the bundle may not be interesting, being able to play PS4 games on the go or on a handheld screen is more advantageous than playing them on a second TV because the first one isn't available etc. especially with the release of PSNOW.

This is the most wrong of translations.. Sony didn't want to do the bundle, if they were as gready as we thought, they would've made it in the holiday season when PS4 was sold out anywhere that no matter what the bundle's price is, it would still sell a lot.

it already lost that signature to the WiiU XD



Oh, fuck off with that bullshit, Sony.

Your efforts to bolster the Vita's lineup with "bespoke games" has been sorely lacking. Games like Tearaway and Killzone--big-name titles being helmed by your major studios--are far too rare for the system to stand on it's own. There are still yawning gaps in franchise representation for the system, with no Infamous, no Gran Turismo, no new news on the Gravity Rush sequel and no news at all on a sequel to Golden Abyss. I can name maybe 3 retail releases I want for the system this year, and two of them (FFXHD and DW8) are late ports. There's no way I can take their claims seriously after seeing what Nintendo has been doing to support the 3DS.

And what has been your focus instead? Punching up remote play as a major seller? Right, because spending $200 on a dying handheld and $50 a year for PSNow--which will only work decently on a fast wi-fi connection, if at all--will have the Vita flying off shelves, right? And we all know streaming stuff at home has made the WiiU a major seller right? Meanwhile, their push to promote indie titles (many of which are multiplatform) and PS+ requires dealing with the train robbery prices on their custom memory cards. If they're so big on pushing the Vita's unique titles, why the fuck do they make it so expensive to simply get enough storage for them?

I'm sorry, but as a Vita owner, I'm getting sick of their wishy-washy bullshit. Instead of either shelving it or going all out to support it, it's being left adrift in this weird, irrelevant limbo. They can say whatever they want, but they've shown themselves more than willing to leave the device on life support in practice.
