I am happy with my Vita

I love getting Cross-Buy games on it and I love getting PS+ games on it. That in my mind helps to offset the incredibly high cost of decent storage options. I have 64GB on mine that I imported from play-asia.com

The types of games that I play on PS-Vita are generally also available on PS3 or PS4. I choose to play some of those games on PS-Vita and others on PS3/PS4. The Vita also has some notable games entirely exclusive to it like Uncharted Golden Abyss, Tearaway, and Killzone Mercenaries.

Killzone Mercenaries in particular was very good. Better in my opinion than Killzone Shadow Fall on PS4.

I don't think Sony should change strategy on it. I think what they are doing continues to make the Vita very good for me personally and that is all I or any other Vita owner should care about... the games support, and the really good value proposition with all the cross-buy and PS+ games.

They should have launched with SDXC as the storage instead of proprietary more limited more expensive storage of their own, but it may be too late to monkey around with hardware revisions of that nature. At the very least Sony needs to drive the cost of that memory down, or package free-games with those, like 32GB card with Killzone Mercenaries download code included to increase the "value" of the storage.

They also need some portable games that can be meaningful competition for the Nintendo games that do so well on 3DS. Games like Animal Crossing, Pokemon X/Y, Fire Emblem, Legend of Zelda, Mario 3D Land, New Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Monster Hunter, and others (OMG, it really is staggering isn't it?). That software advantage is why 3DS outsells the Vita even while their retail costs are almost the same (compared to 3DS XL). The main cost differentiator is the Vita storage is too expensive, and the Vita library doesn't compare well with 3DS.
