Sony Problems!

Third Party

Nintendo is killing Sony from knees with taking all that made Sony psp do good in the first place. Monster Hunter was like a stab to one of Sony knees. Plus it seems as things keep on going more developers are having less and less interest on working with the PS VITA. Two factors one it would cost more and isn't as popular. We are starting to see people not developer or make it on the 3ds too. This makes customers say why pay more for a system that has less relevant games and cost more than the 3ds.

Cost
Sony made the same mistake they did last year with thinking bigger means better. Better hardware will equal better sells. The problem is even when the 3ds launch it outsold the vita in it's first few weeks by a good number. I believe the average nintendo3ds game is 30-40 dollars. Your average vita game is 40-50 dollars why would a person want to pay more money on a system when they can have it cheaper. It's called competitive prices. Plus the vita being 250-300 doesn't help. They shot themselves in foot by selling at a lost because now they just have to hope it works.

Bad decisions with First party
Sony has a bad habit of kill the previous generation characters. Only one they haven't was God of War. They killed sly cooper he is back now but how well will he sell when he became an after thought of Sony? Yes, your diehards will buy it but that's not going to get you that 1 million sales. Even Uncharted Sony 3 generation character they love so much couldn't even hit 1 million and it's been out for like a year. Where is sony's Mario selling a million in 2days with Zelda? This is what happens when you make your system around third party and kill off old characters that people love. You have to build your characters up so they have a strong fanbase not make them an afterthought. Imagine if Sly Cooper or Jak and Dexter was still being built up today imagine the following. Where are our psp 1st party creations? This is what happens when you don't build on characters and invest in the future you just get a bunch of random games on a system (Vita). Vita needs to find it's identity because anything else.
Nintendo was smart build there IP aroun there systems. When you think Mario console you think 3d Mario. When you think Handheld mario you think 2d Mario you may not think that means much but it was because of that build you think that. That thought when in a store and you see that mario game you go on I want to get that game on that. You're looking forward to that next game on that console/handheld.
More examples.
Metroid 3ds: Next Super Metroid Wii-U= Metroid Prime
Zelda 3ds"The next Link to Past/Toon Link game[type of game (tog)]. Zelda Wii-U: Ocarina Of Time. [tog]
^ These games are made with the mind of the system and you instantly know when you
play or remember them.

When you think Uncharted do you even have a thought of Vita/PSP?
What about God of War? Not really huh?
What about LBP that looks almost exactly like the ps3 version? Does it kinda just feel like the same just ported over on PSP/Vita which the controls changed and many using some of the feature on it?

This is the biggest problem nobody is looking forward to anything on the vita just hoping for new games. When I got a 3ds I was like "Yea man can't wait to play some Super Metroid and some 2/3d(above head view Zelda." Where you going I can't wait for a Uncharted game that plays the same on my vita?

Gameplay
Give us fun experiences and on the go games we need BOTH! Mario games are your on the go games. Zelda are your train/car ride games. Both are fun and for everyone! We need experiences like that. Please don't give us your leftover ports or games that I can find on my smartphone. Please don't give us games that we usually see on the ps3 give us games that say I'm glad I bought a Vita because I can't play x on the PS3.

If they fail to work on this just let the Vita close and just do the ps3 don't waste people money or time.
