Are you actually being serious here with comparing Sony's showing for PS3 with what they had for vita? I mean really? 

@Kresnik: I said XBone because of the 180 'and' because I think they will go the extra mile first year or two with support for the system to get the core crowd. But yeah I am more likely to go back to PC gaming before I purchase a home console again if sony keeps this up. I was a PC gamer primarily before this gen. 

Nintendo, and it really sucks in a way that I don't care for their first party titles, are doing a much better job with the wiiu/3ds. 

But yes I don't think I'm being unreasonable when I say I want to see some solid support from sony at gamescom. I would overlook the fact that we had maybe 1-2 exclusive titles revealed for the vita this year if they had actually revealed more last year. They managed to actually make last years E3 vita showing fantastic by comparison this year. I'm just tired to be perfectly honest. I have been very patient with them. But I have run out of it now

and don't get me wrong by solid I don't mean a new GTA/FF/MGS etc lol tho that would be nice I just want a show like last years Gamescom or maybe even a bit better. Can't be too hard to do considering their piss poor E3 showing...but if not then I think that's a clear message as to what they think of the system going forward

@Sleepyprice: Sorry pal but it's almost impossible to find those posts since I post so much lol Around E3/GC/TGS last year as well as this year I posted many times on the topic

"Still doomed. Nobody wants console games on a handheld!"

You can laugh all the way you want, but I keep hearing this argument since vita was announced.

Why should I buy a game

Gamers that don't own a

"Tecmo Koei reported a positive gain for the first quarter of this fiscal year. The publisher behind Dynasty Warriors had 6.5 billion yen in sales, up 10.9% compared to the previous fiscal year. Altogether, Tecmo Koei posted a net profit of 938 million yen ($9.6 million USD).

Toukiden, a hunting game with Japanese mythological creatures for PSP and PlayStation Vita, sold strong with 300,000 units since its launch on June 27. Toukiden will be released in North America for PlayStation Vita. Sales for Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky and Winning Post 7 2013 for PlayStation Vita were favorable. Repeat shipments and downloadable content sales were good too.

Tecmo Koei also said that they surpassed 24 million registered users for online and social games. Their line up includes Dynasty Warriors for One Million People and AKB48s Ambition – yeah thats a pun from Nobunagas Ambition."

Excellent

Dude don't you dare talk like that abot GTA VCS! It was, in terms of pure gameplay and amount of things to do, the best GTA game ever. And I've also played GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas and IV and GTA Vice City Stories beats them hands down.

This is precisely why even after 180 I have very little interest in XBOne. I bought an original Xbox near launch in Europe (came out March 2002 for £299 this was approx 50% more than the US retail despite being nearly 6 months later)) by December 2005 there were no games being released for it at all because MS told all developers to focus on Xbox 360 100% instead.

Xbox 360 I actually bought on release in 2005 because I was so in love with games like Moto GP and Xbox Live's online infrastructure was way better than what the PS2 offered and Nintendo still hadn't discovered the internet. First 2-3 years were phenomenal. Lots of JRPGs, unique interesting games, MS's desire to please gamers like me was wonderful.

Then they hit it. The became popular and outsted the early PS3 efforts. What ensued? Total reliance on 3rd parties for software that wasn't 3 core franchises and Kinect. It took a 4th RROD for me to see this, as by then it was out of even the extended warranty and so I had to turn to my Blu-ray Player, also known as a PS3 for my home console gaming for a while until I could afford a replacement 360. In that time I was introduced to Infamous, Uncharted, God of War 3 and Little big planet etc.

So I got back to my Xbox 360, and scoured the internet for all the wonderful exclusives I'd missed. Alan Wake was alright, Crackdown 2 was meh after how blown away I was with the first one and that was pretty much it...

Even 3 years on I struggle to find much on the the 360 that I can't get elsewhere and at the moment, having poured hundreds, if not thousands of pounds into the 360 in the earlier years, I'm really skeptical that MS will continue to diversify their lineup past the opening couple of years for Xbox One. They seem the most happy of all the manufacturers to rely on 3rd party releases once they have the audience at a certain point.

Hopefully I'll be wrong, but that's twice now I feel MS have badly burned me as a "core" gamer. So I'll be waiting for a price drop on the XBOne before I "Jump in".

At e3? They showed Beyond, GT6, Batman: Arkham Origins, and GTA5 bundle. That's it. Everything else was Vita and PS4.

You who doesn't even have a Vita :p 

Buy one now! Or the Gamescon presentation will be "We're done with Vita" :p

Is it that serious?

Personally, I think tales of the Vita's imminent demise are greatly exaggerated. I also think it'll get a steady flow of high quality titles. But time will tell.
