This is the right answer. More games like Golden Abyss, good, solid spinoff fare from their main franchises which helped keep PSP steady, and which basically don't happen anymore. |
PSP didn't have to compete with smartphones/tablets. That makes all the difference in the world. If there was a big market for games like Golden Abyss on the Vita, Sony would make those games. And they did try with other games like Killzone, Gravity Rush, Tearaway, LittleBigPlanet, Playstation All-Stars, etc.
There just isn't an audience for this device, honestly ask yourself what demographic this product is made for. The adult/teenager who just cannot go 30 minutes outside of the house without playing a watered down version of a FPS or action game? This market audience simply doesn't exist.
Even "dudebros" gamers are fine just leaving their Calladooty at home for their 50-inch TV, if they need to burn some time on the go, their smartphone takes care of that, not only with a few cheapo games, but a dozen other things it can do that the Vita can't.
