Why didn't Big 3rd Parties give Vita the B.O.T.D.?

I have to agree, they really just don't care about the Vita and they have never tried

Just look at EA, I normally defend them, but they treat the Vita awfully. You can port PS3 games to Vita fairly easily, but they just don't bother with FIFA, their main game series. This years' game (put in the highest bracket of Vita prices) is still FIFA 11. I'm not demanding a unique version, just a port from the PS3!

Then look at remote play on Vita. On AC IV, Ubisoft realised that you would be holding R2 for most of the time, so swapped R1 and R2 to stick R2 on the Vita shoulder buttons. In FIFA, you have to hold R2 to run, which means that on Vita you would have to hold the back touch pad by default and of course they couldn't be bothered to change that, which makes the game unplayable

If these companies can't even be bothered to swap some buttons to get remote play working properly, then are they really going to be bothered to make a game?

I have Persona 4 to play (then probably again on New Game +), LBP Vita, Tearawy, mabye Batman Arkham City and then what? Back to PS1 classics and indie PSN games that I don't really like.

Greatness does not seem to be awaiting the Vita

The Vita actually has quite a lot to play. I am super pleased with its library because I am capable/willing to look and find out about the games that ARE out for the system. I just bought Ys:MoC which I am addicted to. Also got KZ:Mercs, and Rainbow Moon.

Unfortunately, most seem to ingore what is currently available because they want to see Big 3rd Party support for series they know and love. That means Final Fantasy, GTA, GT, AC, COD, Uncharted, Battlefield, Monster Hunter by the publishers they know make them.  Unltil Vita has those games it seems the system will forever be mared with the "Has no Games" tag line because these are series that buyers know, so there is less risk in buying into them......as opposed to a bunch of new IPs like Soul Sacrifice, Tearaway, Gravity Rush, etc. New IPs take years and several iterations to build a "fanbase" usually.

Vita is basically an unknown system with a bunch of unknown games. Its a giant question mark to buyers asking "Why should I get Vita?" Developers/Sony have to give them something they can relate to.

I agree, I know that Ys and Rainbow Moon exist, yet I have absolutely no idea what they are

As for the other new IPs here, they are certainly weird.... I played the demo of Soul Sacrifice and didn't like it, but Gravity Rush and Tearaway are just odd games. They need some which have some mass market appeal, beyond 1 bad Call of Duty
