Just today Sword art Online hollow fragment released on the Vita in europe. The game wasnt even in the latest software list while 2 new indie titles received pomp and circustance in the PS blog eu yesterday and were right there today. Not a single mention for Sword art online. I had to manually search for it and buy it.

I have yet to buy a single indie game aswell (i plan to get a couple in the future when they release), but it is obvious that Sony is pushing them incredibly hard over everything else and consumers might start to resent them for it. There is more to gaming than just indies. Theirs arent the only games that need exposure.

Big, AAA alway get the most exposure (TLoU remastered, Second Son, Killzone SF) Indies are the once that need the most help as far as adverticement and the cheapest way is the internet (gaming websites, blogs, etc) while the big boys get TV commercial (albeit short) and the E3, the Gamescoms, the TGSs.

My guess is that SAO game was pretty niche on a niche console (Vita)
