I don't know I don't work for Sony. Ask them.

No, no. You seem to be quite a reliable source. You said that Sony doesn't resort to Price Cuts like "other companies" so I thought you would have an idea on what they might do to help the Vita.

You don't need to be a reliable source to know they don't resort to price cuts so quickly. I think that's pretty evident, or do you not read into video game news that much? Busy getting your cash money from Nintendo as you said before right?

So what does Sony resort to? Half-assing 1st party releases and failing to get any significant 3rd party support? You could argue Nintendo does one of those things, but not both.

What first party releases have been "half-assed"?

Well if we simply go by Metacritic, I'd say Resistance easily fits this description. Golden Abyss and could also qualify because of its flagship franchise status and its failure to move any significant amount of units, which is what 1st party software is for.

I'll agree with you on Resistance but disagree with Golden Abyss. It has sold 900k units on a handheld that has 4.1m units sold. I'd say that's a pretty good attach rate and that it did help move units during the Vita's launch, wouldn't you agree? Also are you implying that Golden Abyss failed review wise? The game has an 80 and I'd say it's a pretty good start and has a bright future ahead of itself on the Vita. They could get rid of the gimicky touch controls but they did this to show off what the Vita can do, don't forget it was a launch title so Sony probably forced them to do it.
