the reason the vita was not a success like sony wanted, is because sony themselves killed the system with poor 1st support and overpriced memory cards and system. Also poor ads and deals to get ppl to buy the system, all the issues with the vita remain soley on the shoulders of sony, its just that simple.
I myself love the vita , I own the system with over 75 games, but using the excuse they keep using for the poor received vita is the mobile market is severly flawed at its core and they know that themselves.


This 100%. I couldn't for the life of me understand why they had studios like Ready at Dawn who made some great PSP games turned into PS4 developers. The money they wasted on The Order 1886 could of made half a dozen Vita exclusives. They closed the Wipeout developer who made a couple of PSP entries and they also started some series like Resistance and Uncharted and never bloody sequelled them. The touchpad is a pain and really put some people off the PSV but it has a pretty decent library from it's early years and Japan has churned out some good stuff. Mobile didn't kill their handheld business. Bad decisions from management did.

Also...I couldn't get why they didn't work their arses off to turn the PSV into a portable PS2 the way the PSP was a portable PS1 in terms of emulation. They'd of made a killing off of the thing and had an even larger library.
