What made me happy about the announcements about PSX was that they were pretty much in-line with what I was expecting was a best-case scenario.
I've long come to accept that Vita is going to be a niche-localization-and-indie-game machine. That's what's been obvious since about the middle of 2013. At least, with what was announced today, there was a decent selection of quality indie stuff coming that I want to play. Combined with some already-announced games (Drifter; Starbound; Hotline Miami etc.) there's plenty that's going to keep me playing in 2015.
Yes, it's only really going to appeal to existing Vita owners. But people who have the machine, by and large, tend to like it, so giving them the choice to play these games on the console is good enough.
The only thing I can hope for now that would've been even better than I was expecting, is that at some point over the next year, Sony manage to pull what they pulled with Yakuza 5 on Phantasy Star Nova/Tales of Innocence. I genuinely wasn't expecting Yakuza 5 (NISA have, in the past, mentioned they asked SEGA about localizing a Yakuza title, and they were denied) so Sony seemingly can perform miracles.
Now the only thing I'm a bit worried about is the niche localizations. There's only Neptunia and Firefly Diary that are really catching my interest. But seeing as how NISA have their big press conference in February and the others announce things as they go along, I'm still hopeful.
