who the hell cares. let it die already.

What would the point in that be? They have a product they're investing next to nothing in, that is getting content provided for it generating them money? They also have no intention of succeeding the product with anything.

I figure they're going to do like SEGA did with the Dreamcast and continue to allow content to be officially produced for it for pretty much as long as anyone shows interest. (Last officially licensed Dreamcast title released in like 2007, after the PS3 and 360 were both on the market)

Seriously, the Vita isn't going to be the best thing ever, but they can turn it around into just being not a joke.

Price drop, get some of their better IPs to have Vita exclusives (that are also playable on PSTV), and release a PS4/Vita or PS4/PSTV bundle.

Vita needs to be $100-$130 to sell properly. The PSTV's common price of $35-$40 needs to be official and advertised. People need incentive.

BigFest is still coming and that is owned, funded and published by SCEE and created by OnTheMetal with collaboration from Sony XDev.

External developer but first party game.

Meh, doesn't really make a difference either way .

Yeah, that's the same as what Virtual Toys are doing that I listed in the post you quoted.  I'd consider that a second party game, but it's a matter of semantics I guess, which was the whole point of my post :P

Sell Vita with free PS TV at a discounted price would be a good business move. Seriously they should of called it Vita TV

They are probably counting system updates as Vita content...

"We will now articulate on this by not announcing, nor showing, any work-in-progress first party Vita games. Just trust us! Would I lie to you?"

This is so true. Sony is sitting on a gold mine with the Vita and PlayStation TV. If they would dump the Xperia line of products and put all of the billions being watsed on it into a Vita Phone, and bringing mobile apps to Vita they would be rolling in major profits.

If Sony made the Vita a viable replacement for the smartphone, similar to the way they are pushing PS4 as a replacemnet for the PC and Cable box, then they would have the most full fledge hardware, software, and services ecosystrm in both the home and mobile market.

Hopefully this is the direction Kaz is looking at when Xperia inevitably continues to soak 100's of millions from the company, and something has to be done to fix the disaster.
