Only 4/11 of those systems lacked backwards compatibility with a large range of titles:

PSP
PSV
Xbox
Gamecube

So arguably they launched with fewer game titles than systems which had access to previous libraries of games.

The Vita does have reverse compatability if you bought your games via PSN. Although technically it's only 275 (and about half of them are minis and doesn't include a lot of bigger titles like Gran Turismo, Ratchet & Clank, and Star Wars Battlefront) when the system launches so your original post still is valid in the sense that it's still below all of the others except the other 3 you mentioned.


There may just be 275 titles available on the PSN.  If that's the case, I'm wrong.  It's been verified that even it a game isn't currently on the Vita's version of the PSN, any game that you download to the PS3 (PSP, PS1, Minis) will work on the Vita.  You have the entire non-PS3 library for play on the Vita.  This is a good thing because, while I'm buying a Vita in two days, there's not a single game of those 25 that I want to buy.  I'm gonna grab Uncharted just to have something to show off.
