Kresnik, it's not like they didn't have a platform where they could use features not found in console games. I think there are several titles that are on Vita that wouldn't exist on the PSP, so in that regard, I think it's a mild success.

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying here?

I think that was just bluster for the shoehorned-in features during the games they released in the first year.  Uncharted: Golden Abyss could've existed on consoles (or PSP), for example, just without the touch screen stuff (which doesn't really add all that much to the experience).

The only games I think which truly made use of Vita's features were LBP and Tearaway, one of which is already being ported to PS4 somehow.  Everything else could've run on PSP, just at a less powerful level.

There are several games that use the touch screen and rear touch pad. While you could do things to make it work on a controller, that's not the point. They made games and made the platform open for 3rd parties to utilize those features. I don't think you should discount some of the smaller titles like Dokuro or Murasaki Baby.
