you know, I understand the cost can be prohibitive (doubly so thanks to the overpriced memory cards), but I really don't understand why the vita is doing as poorly as it is. I mean, look at its exclusives list:

1 - Assassin's creed
2 - Gravity Rush
3 - LittlebigPlanet
4 - Lumines
5 - Killzone
6 - Ragnarok Odyssey
7 - Soul Sacrifice
8 - Tearaway (soon)
9 - Uncharted
10 - Unit 13
11 - Wipeout

Then it has the ports and upgrades:

1 - Disgaea 3
2 - Dragon's Crown
3 - Mortal kombat
4 - Persona 4
5 - Rayman Origins and soon LEgends
6 - Playstation All-Stars
7 - Sly cooper

As well as a tonne of indies. Like, a TONNE!. SO MANY INDIES!

Its biggest strength is also its greatest weakness: its exclusives list is GOOD, but most of its releases are ports of PS3 games and indies. It really is a great system, I have almost 30 games for it already not including the downloads, but I admit that its future outside of Killzone and TearAway doesn't look good. Ah well, it's been worth the money to me.

Can I post a harsh but honest response to these games?

1 - Assassin's creed  
hald decent game cannabalised by being released the same day as its superior console  brother.

2 - Gravity Rush
unique and charming, but still avaerage. As its not a system seller being released in isolation (away from other big exclusives means it has little to no effect on hardware sale)

3 - LittlebigPlanet
Brilliant entry in a twindling franchise, but 1 game cant sell  system unless that one game is final fantasy, metal gear solid, Mario, pokemon...

4 - Lumines
lol

5 - Killzone
 Not out. appeals mainly to core sony fans. Probably those who already have a system

6 - Ragnarok Odyssey
below average game.

7 - Soul Sacrifice
Niche, arena styled RPG. They do not sell in the west. Was also released during a software drought

8 - Tearaway (soon)  
Not out.

9 - Uncharted
Luke warm imitaion of console gaming. Franchise isnt suited for the handheld (where is the spectacle and set pieces)

10 - Unit 13
No.

11 - Wipeout
The studio has been shut down, I think that says enough about the popularity of that franchise in modern times.
