Vita already has an amazing OS, all it lacks is phone and text. Apps will come in time, and they do not all have to be their day one.

So how long are people willing to wait for popular apps like Youtube, Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Netflix, eBay, Pinterest, Shazam, good navigation apps and many many others?

Which navigation software can Sony offer? These services are very expensive for platform owners, get much hate if they don't work 100% and smartphone customers expect this feature out-of-the-box. The Vita used Google Maps until now, but Sony already lost Google's support.

Google will allow itself plenty of time before releasing YouTube, Google Maps and Google Music to a new directly competing phone OS.

Microsoft will allow itself plenty of time before releasing Skype or MS Office to a new directly competing phone OS.

Youtube, Skype, Facebook, Netflix, and many others are already available on the PSVitaOS. Most other things run just as good through the web browser if not better. They are brining a lot of new apps to the PSVita all the time as well. We just got Snagfilms a couple of weeks ago and MLB.tv is on its way. When PlayStation Vue and PlayStation Music hit they will have the best TV and music services available on the platform.

Another thing to consider is this is not aimed directly at Apple and Google, it is a gamers first platform, so a lot of these apps are not as important on day one. The most important thing is making sure they have games, PS Now and Remote Play anywhere via  , and the whole library available on PS Vita right now. This is where they build the userbase, within two years they would have 50M users, and apps would start pouring in.
