You know, I 'like' killzone and particularly enjoyed Killzone 3...but man, Mercenary's beta has been a tonne of fun so far. Other than the analogs not being QUITE sensitive enough for me (can be made up for with the motion control), I love it!

I'll be reviewing it, too. Truly and honestly cannot wait. I've loved a lot of Vita games: assassin's creed, disgaea, dragon's crown (yes I loved it, I was just being harsh to be honest), Gravity Rush, LittlebigPlanet, ModNation Racers (good other than the lack of online), Persona, Ragnarok Odyssey, Resistance (I liked it! I'm in the minority on that one), Smart as, Uncharted, and Unit 13...not to mention its multiplatform games like Playstation All-Stars and Sly 4, but I think Killzone might be its first really good system seller...an FPS that's looking VERY good.

Hopefully people haven't completely lost interest in vita and will buy the system if the game is as good as it seems. However, with all the doom and gloom, I highly doubt any single game can save it apart from hugely popular games like GTA.

I think the price drop is the most significant change.  because it launched with Uncharted, PS3's arguably most loved exclusive franchise.  That or LittlebigPlanet (which also got an outstanding iteration on Vita within months).  

to be honest, the only plausible explanation I can think of to explain WHY the Vita is doing poorly is price.  300 bucks for a dedicated handheld WITH an additional 50-100 for a memory card seems steep, and it is.  200 bucks with a drop in price for the memory cards might help it, but I still think that, as long as the 3DS is available for 130-180 depending on model, the general public will always see the Vita as just a more expensive handheld without Mario or Zelda on it. 

It needs Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, God of War, Grand Theft Auto,  Killzone, LittlebigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Assassin's Creed, a GOOD Call of Duty, and pretty much everything if it is to survive.  I figure it'll get all of the above, but it may be 'too little too late'.
