I think this was a great conference.

Cross buy is awesome and gives gamers such a great value and I really, really like Tear Away.

At the same time, I don't think Sony really gets it. For existing Vita owners, this conference is awesome. For prospective buyers, it doesn't do much of anything because Cross buy caters to existing Sony PS3 fans.

It's clear now that Sony doesn't understand portable gaming. They want to make the Vita an extension of the PS3 as opposed to a portable with it's own identity. They just want to replicate the console experience on the Vita instead of giving it its own exclusive content. No is going to buy AC3 on Vita when they can get it on PS3. No one is going to buy CoD with Nihilistic behind it and they have a superior version on their PS3. Sony did nothing to differentiate the Vita from the PS3, and that's going to bite them in the ass.

In the end: Great conference, and they really aimed to please existing Vita fan as well as PS3 fans on the fence about the Vita. But nothing they announce will resonate with the mainstream and Vita sales will not improve by much at all.

what was it that I said was Sony's problem, not actually doing anything wrong but assuming people can figure out simple shit or something like that but, this post right here, is exactly what I was talking about

perfect example really *saved*
