When you see this ton of games drop onto the PSN store on the Vita and you look to Nintendo refusing to even trickle 1 or 2 gba games onto the 3ds eshop and still be asking the same price as FF7/8/9 would cost you on the Vita for some NES games. Really makes me consider what people are thinking when buying those and claiming the Vita has no games.

In a way, I agree with you because Nintendo makes you pay full price repeatedly for the same stuff while the PSN lets you buy a game once and play it on several platforms....but really, all they did was enable digital backwards compatibility for the games we could already play on PSP.  It's pretty awesome (Finally put my PSP away since I have Crash, Spyro, and Syphon Filter games I couldn't get on Vita) but let's not go overboard here.

Yeah even on new stuff like getting Limbo and Guacamelee for the PSVita for having the PS3 versions of the game is awesome. As for the simple "enable digital backwards compatibility" they did also reformat the games documents to be more in line with the Vitas way of handling things and each one comes with it's own little live arena area rather than simple psp bubble.

I dunno when I think back to when I used the 3ds 100% of the time and I heard an announcment that Sonic 1 from the Megadrive was coming to its store and I was excited for it... even tho it didn't come for maybe 4 months after that reveal I now just feel stupid for being wrapped up in that service when psn exists on the Vita. Heck one of the games on psn is the megadrive collection 28 megadrive games in one 7euro package.... now on the store without a wait of 4 months for 1/28th of it.

As for permanently shelving the psp I have a PSPgo set up with lovely mame and Capcom arcade system on it, have it tucked under my big ass tv and got a spare ps3 controller connected to it so that is something the Vita will never replace I think.
