Ok, I was into digimon especially the first 2 seasons, only games i played were the battle ones (i think gba). 

Still no word on GR2. Though many thnk it'll be multiplat. I think another price cut will be coming March/April next year. I still need to get a vita, im so broke though XD

I'm expecting a price cut in Feb/Mar too.  Problem is, there's little announced software to go along with it at this point.  God Eater in February and Sword Art Online/Senran Kagura in March, but they're hardly going to bring new buyers in.  There's smaller titles scattered in between (like have been the Vita's bread and butter so far).

I'm half expecting them to just ride it out as a profit making machine until they kill it off some time in 2016.

I see it being like Dreamcast tbh. That went for nearly 10 years in Japan just getting the odd title. As long as it has a niche audience which are making the smaller games profitible, that's fair enough. I'd just hope this time, with Sony having a successful distribution network with PS4 stuff, they'll be able to keep physical Western releases viable to companies that want to do it.
