Vita problem is it has so few games every game it gets gets hyped too much and a bunch of average to poor games get defended like they were much better. If these games were on PS3 or 360 they get called crap or average and that would be done with,

The Wii and now WiiU has the same problem, so few games so every exclusive it gets is made out to be much better than it really is, even more so than a PS3/360 exclusive gets hyped. In reality we get games like Madworld or The Conduit which are pretty crappy games yet proclaimed as the death of casual gaming on Wii.

Vita doesn't have a single AAA game.


That is exactly the problem. People compare Vita games to home console games. The 3DS doesnt get compared to PS3/360 games, its its own portable gaming self. The Vita is too good a portable for its own good cause people want to place it side by side with home consoles.

People need to compare the Vita to the 3DS. And yes the 3DS has loads of great games wich is why i have one, but the Vita has good games aswell but while the 3DS versions are seen as great on the 3DS, they are seen as crap on the Vita.

Example with the current Jak and Daxter collection. Compare that to Super Mario 3D land in terms of scope, depth and complexity. There are performce issues compared to the PS3 version, but how is this compared to Super mario? Better graphics, more expansive levels, engrossing storyline and cheaper price. The problem here is it gets compared to the PS3 and compared to that version its just not as good. Its a problem of perspective. The Vita has been getting high standards set against it for some reason. Maybe its because Uncharted and Wipeout looked so good early on.

Amen! Pretty much why I stopped bothering with reviews. I trust this comminuty a lot more.
