Marketing marketing marketing.
Just reading most of these comments shows Sony has failed at marketing the Vita. We are all hardcore gamers who should know better and yet even many of us are shouting fallacies.
In America, the Vita has a great lineup and "hazgaemz". Uncharted, Wipeout, Escape Plan, Super Stardust Delta, Gravity Rush, and Little Big Planet are all amazing games that are just as good if not better than their console equivalents. I'm not saying the Vita plays console games on the go, but that it's just as fun. Heck LBP Vita is undoubtedly better than LBP2 even when playing at home. This is only 9 months after launch and the Vita already has six defining games. Sadly only people with a Vita know this because Sony's marketing sucks.
The Vita is also getting great games in America. Assassin's Creed Liberation, PSASBR, Tearaway, Killzone, and Gravity Rush 2 are all announced and coming. Again many more games are coming but these are the system sellers. If only Sony marketed them.
Have any of you guys even heard of PlayStation Mobile? It launched yesterday allowing anyone for free to develop apps and games for Vita and other certified platforms. With time the Vita will have everything smartphones have except again Sony fails to educate people about this.
The Vita is a great system that can thrive in today's smartphone world as long as people actually know what it does. Plus an official $50 price cut wouldn't hurt. |
Strongly disagree with most of that. I believe people know exactly what type of games are on it and simply aren't interested in a portable Uncharted and games like that. It's the same as with the PSP, the type of games were basically stripped down full console games. I don't think people want that anymore.

Thank you for proving my point: you don't know what you are talking about.
Uncharted Golden Abyss is not as grand as Uncharted 3 but it never tries to be. If we compared Uncharted GA to Uncharted 1 the Vita version (in my opinion as an Uncharted fan) is better in almost every way. Uncharted 2 and 3 continued the series by becoming more epic and large scale while Uncharted GA expanded other aspects. It's a different beast.
Wipeout 2048 IS the console games HD and Fury (if you have them on PS3) plus its own campaign and extras. Not a stripped down console game.
LBP Vita has everything from LBP 1 and 2 except their levels. The Vita version expands on this with even more content and tools as well as a highly improved create mode. Again I have no idea how you could consider this a stripped down console game.
I do Understand people calling Uncharted stripped down since it is different (even though I disagree), but how can you say Wipeout 2048 and LBP Vita are?
