Vita Needs Help In NA+Europe... What Does Sony Need to Do?

Gamers logic:
1) the vita is failing. No 3rd party will invest money in it (they'd be crazy to do so).
2) OMG! 3rd parties are stupid. Why don't they make games for WiiU?

And my favourite:
3) Vita has no games.
-Indies? They don't count.
-Uncharted: GA? I can play that on my ps3.
-Rayman Origins and Legends? Meh, multiplat, doesn't count (if it's multiplat, you're clearly not allowed to have fun playing it).
-Persona 4 Golden? Meh, port (because everyone and their mothers played the original and they can buy the ps2 version if they want to, since everyone is using their ps2)
-Gravity Rush, Soul Sacrifice? Meh, they didn't boost hardware at all (as if that has to do anything with their quality or budget).

Just because the vita is failing, doesn't mean it's not a good console or that it doesn't have great games. It means that the general public doesn't have an interest in it for several reasons. Sure, a gow, gta, grand turismo, red dead, bioshock, monster hunter game would help, but not necessarily because of quality, but because of the name itself and its brand power.

I wish people will come out and say, "you know what? I have no interest in vita, I will never buy it, no matter what is released, I could not care less as long as I see it failing." Because this is precisely how they feel and it shows. So, the next time you're about to say it has no games, either do some research or at least say that it doesn't have any games that interest you. Quality needs to stay out of the discussion, because you clearly have not played Soul Sacrifice or Gravity Rush and it's beyond silly saying that Pokemon is better, thus comparing a game which you haven't personally experienced with one that hasn't even been released.

(nothing personal against you, t-bone, though I do disagree with some of your arguments)

Let's see. The usual meme is: WiiU haz no gamez.
Indies? They don't count

Mario? Already played it a lot.

Splinter Cell, Injustice, Watchdogs, Assassins Creed, Batman Origins, COD: Ghosts, Resident Evil: Revelations ...? Meh, multiplat, doesn't count (if it's multiplat, you're clearly not allowed to have fun playing it).

Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Need for Speed: Most Wanted? Meh, port (because everyone and their mothers played the original)

Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Lego City Undercover? Meh, they didn't boost hardware at all (as if that has to do anything with their quality or budget).

Sorry, couldn't resist.

BTW, I know Vita has games and I'm interested in the device. The thing holding me back now is: my tremendous backlog on 3DS- and WiiU-games (yes WiiU-games). If I don't have time to play the games on the platforms I already own, why buy another one?
