| BinaryDelt said: All great points on why it's not selling well, and I agree. There isn't the "killer app game" for the Vita. One of my friends called it a "Persona 4 Golden machine". I sure hope Gran Turismo for Vita is better than its PSP counterpart, which I thought was not very good at all. Really looking forward to Gamescom and TGS...

I don't know how you can call a Niche game, where all of it predecessors haven't exactly sold great ammounts a killer ap, despite it being a great game, and a game that should go on to hit 1 mill lifetime sales which would be fantastic. I like GTPSP quite a lot actually, and liked the idea that they presented, quick sessions whilst on the go. However for the next game I want it to be more traditional GT with championships and stuff, but no endurance races over a couple of hours, that'd be painful. Also they deffinately need to bring back the special events from GTPSP, they were good fun.
I can't wait for both, and I hope that we get at least 5 more games for this fall (I don't care if we get a drought afterwards) as then we'd have a really strong looking period from september to december with Valhalla Knights 3 and Rayman at the begining of September, Kilzone sep 10th, Ys sep 24th (which will move units in Japan, and it's Ys's 25th annirvesary so should get some good marketing) then Nothing in October until Tearaway and Batman, so hopefully new game from bend for middle November, AC game (which I'd expect to happen as Liberation is on its way to a million units sold [might be there already with downloads]) Cod (seems to get on everything) and NFS and some japanese games which is about as much as I'm going to hope for.
I think it's imperitive that they give it a re-design with internal memory, even if it's just a couple of gb, as the ammount of people who have been caught out by buying one without a memory card and not be able to play anything, and in this day and age it's kind of unnaceptable to not have internal memory, especially when you can find 8 gb SD for about 6 quid on Amazon (the PSP is 90 quid and why it's selling so much and the PSV is 190 with 4gb memory card and either AC:lib or Blops.) so adding what 2.5% onto the price of the system, even though I would keep the price the same) but people actually being able to buy games digitally (more revenue) will make you more profitable.
On another note I think that the instant game collection will help the psv when the ps4 gets launched as it's just chucking free psv games at ya so more people I think will be inclined to buy the console if they already have a tonne of games for it.
