I love my Vita and I can assure you that "it has no games" can't be the reason.

I`m not one of them to say it has no games, but in the beginning a fair number of people would say this, and the software line up did seem a bit lacking, but that is clearly not the case anymore. I just had that reason for any who still believes that, despite it not being true.

i dont really follow handheld games much so i dont know how many games the 3DS has versus the Vita but i do know that a lot of Vita games (the vast majority) are niche japanese games, (games that i like a lot) and the problem with this games is that they basically dont exist for the casual crowd and even some gamers, because they are not advertised and they are never going to be as popular as something like Pokemon.

take for example Makai Trillion:

A really awesome looking SRPG being developed exclusively for the VITA and one of my most anticipated games this year, and i bet not even you knew about it XD...

Yeah, you got me. I never heard of this game, and I usually hear about a lot of different Vita games coming. The Vita does have a lot of cool games I would like to play, many of them RPGs and cool anime games, but yeah, they are quite niche and will likely only find some success in Japan. I don`t think these games will  help move the Vita outside of Japan. I`m under the impression that Japanese games like these are still quite niche and the Japan/anime base is a small base. I don`t know how these games are viewed in different regions, whether people think of them as `weeaboo` or whatever terms people use, or people in general are cool with them.

At least Japan is supporting the system well. I want some of those Vita games... >: )
