If You Were In Sony's Position, How Would You Handle The Vita in 2013?

From new years I would have had all PSVita's would come with 12GB internal memory but the price of the system will remain the same and memory card prices will drop by %20.

The real issue I think is games. I would have began to tackle this by planning for Ni No Kuni to launch on Vita this Jan. Followed up by a WW launch of Soul Sacrifice this march. I would have given square enix a huge amount of money to do the following; release Kingdom Hearts HD on the Vita in Japan this march, Have a HD port of Type 0 ready by april for release here and re-release in japan and have DQX ported to Vita. Have Lufe as a DLC character of Battle Royale but include him in the launch rooster for the japanese release which I think still hasn't been announced. Work with epic to create Unreal Tournament Vita for the summer. Create a team to Remake/port Morrowind for the Vita for fall 2013 or Q1 2014. Have Bend studio's work on Jax IV instead of uncharted, It will have multiplayer. I'd buy the Digimon franchise and reboot it with the style of animation from series 3 and it will be developed by the Gravity rush team. Grand Turismo Vita for the years end, as a rockstar leeds developed GTA game for spring 2014.

Essentially if I owned Sony the Vita's line up would look like this.

Q1: Ni No Kuni, Sly Cooper 4, Kingdom hearts HD, Soul Sacrifice, Phantasy Star Online 2

Q2: FF Type 0, Tear Away, Unreal tournament Vita, DQX, Sell the Vita 

Q3 : Sell the Vita at $99 with a 19$ contact which comes with PS+, Borderlands Vita (instead of Killzone), Pupetteer (cross buy), Jak and Daxter IV, PS2 classics+ Gamepad Pro attachment which adds 2 trigger buttons, a more traditional dual shock structure and Wii U quality streaming functionality with ps4.

Q4:Grand Turismo Vita, FFX HD, Morrowind, COD stand alone multiplayer ($30)

2014: GTA, Digimon V, Okami 2, Gaikai PS3 game streaming

This is a horrible idea. Is Gamepad Pro really selling for 3DS? If you really want the two triggers, tapping the sensor in the back on the right or left can easily do for these two buttons. No ridiculous prorietary piece of junk that wouldn't sell is needed. When they port PS2 classics, they could spend a handful of days to make the controls work on a Vita, really.

Kingdom Hearts is a great idea on the other hand. Digimon as Sony's Pokemon? If they game was good... I mean, this isn't Pokemon, but it's big. I also think that games like Pupetteer should be released on Vita instead of PS3. I can't see this game selling big numbers there.

Sony should approach smaller developers like CD Projekt RED, Frictional Games, etc. and pay them money to make their games on Vita. Smaller devs should be easier to approach. Witchers, Amnesia on Vita? Sign me up! Also getting rights to Kingdom of Amalur or getting something out of THQ for Vita would be huge.

I'm also thinking... Wasteland 2 on Vita anyone? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2

Wonder how much they would have to back this project up by to have a "All previous rewards + we release the game on Vita" ;)

And never forget FIFA. A good FIFA 14 would easily climb its way to the top 3 best selling games on Vita. But it has to look and play exactly like the PS3 version.
