If developers and publishers can get a profit from the Vita, they won't give up on it. Once the price drops, better bundles become availabe and more people buy it, there may be a bigger incentive for developers to create for the Vita again. Look at Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed for Xbox 360 and PS3. They each bring in millions of copies sold on each console. If a developer can make money from the 3DS and the Vita, they most likely will create for both. I agree with the summer part....if things haven't picked up by then it might truly be over with. But there is still a chance things can turn around. It seems that people are impressed with everything PS Plus is offering the Vita, so things might start to pick up even before the year is out.

I agree. It isn't over just yet. But I am shocked that ac didn't sell that well. I was one of the people saying "wait until ac and cod get here". I assumed they would help sell the system. Before mario came out on 3ds last year there were reports of 3ds flying off the shelves. Assassin's creed has obviously not achieved that. Given there isn't any breaking headline news about this happening with vita now call of duty is out, I am guessing it hasn't been the success people thought. Just guessing though.

It is a rough road for vita but it isn't over yet. The thing that has me questioning it is if cod really hasn't sold then what is left? While there are some interesting games on vita new IPs tend not to sell as well as established ones. The thing vita still has to cling on to is the other argument I made. The audience that bought psp are likely not the same as those who play mobile games. As long as sony can convince old psp owners in time, they have succeeded.
