Vita is dead and buried in the US. Less than 100k in December

See SCEA, treat it like shit...it will sell like shit. Congratulations

3rd party kill it.

Those Vita HW numbers in the US makes me wish I lived in Japan. At least there they care about the Vita. I mean how can you come out with a product and just 100% neglect it in region after 1 year. It makes me sick to my stomach but hey I did my part in buying nearly every physical release this year but SCEA didn't hold up their end of the bargain.

It's sony's responsibility to get them on board

On a somewhat better news some vita games have done better than I expected. Sly Vita 67k. KZ M over 100k

Tearaway 50k ..should have made an official bundle like in EU..but scea gonna scea

Sony make vita developer friendly it make it easy to develop and easy to port games from ps3 on it,game like Assasin Creed sold well on vita despite of the small install base i think it's enougth to attract third party.

If Nintendo first party can't save wii u ,Sony first party can't save Vita.

I don't think Sony first party support is bad on Vita i know first party game are from scej or scee not from scea but who care it still Sony.

After looking through the NPD thread a little more it's nice to see Vita software is doing OK. VGC is nearly spot on for Sly and KZ while Tearaway and Soul Sacrifice are over tracked by about 30k each. Also lol at VGC undertacking Rayman by 20k.... it's entire LTD sales haha.

On another note I REALLY wish Sony would lift the 100 bubble limit. Even after I deleted and transfered my PSP games to my PSP Go I'm still at like 94 bubbles. And once next month starts I'm going to be buy a ton of Vita software.

Making it dev friendly is just the first step. It's thanks to that we are getting all these indie games. Sony's responsibility is to build a profitable market for those third parties because at the end of the day they are all business and money talks. Sony first party titles on the handheld front has no selling power even comparable to Nintendo ones. So what they needed to do was have 1-2 big third party IPs on board for the system. GTA, FF etc. We got no such exclusive. 

SCEA treats the system like shit. No marketing. Not a single new first party exclusive announced in well over a year. If Sony themselves show lack of faith third parties will bail the fuck out too. 

SCEE does a bit better and sales reflect that. SCEJA does a much better job and games and sales show that. 

We got 4  good new IP Soul Sacrifice,Gravity Rush,Toukiden and Terraway we also got Killzone,Uncharted,Wipeout,lbp.

First party support to vita is better then psp support but 3rd party support on psp are a lot better then third party support on vita.

Take two and square enix don't want to develop on vita Sony can't do anything what make me angry at third party is that third party support more wii u then vita even when their game sold better on vita.

Toukiden isn't first party

Sony did really well support wise first year

Decent in second year

Absolutely jack shit support from their western studios for 2014

Now what Sony Needed to do was secure those few important exclusives from third parties by any means needed. GTA was one of the main reasons psp did so well in the first years of it's life sales wise. If the sales pick up more and more of the major third party publishers will take notice too. It's a tricky situation and one that has come to pass thanks to shoddy planning and being cheap as hell by Sony

WiiU third party support is not better than vita. And it's in the home console market where way more western games are being made too. So I disagree with you on that

What is the difference for you if first party game are from scea or scee and scej?

How many millions of dollars Sony should spent to get GTA i don't think Sony pay anything to get GTA on psp Microsoft pay 50 millions for a GTA expansion for 6 month it would cost a lot more for Sony to get a full gta game and since Sony has now financial problem i doubt Sony can spant that lot of money for just 1 game and since it's easy to port ps3 game to vita why they don't port gta 5 to vita?

Sale will never pick up if third party don't support it not even ps4 would do amazing number if they hadn't third party support,Vita sale pick up in Japan  when third party made a lot of game not the opposite,if they don't support vita now they will never support it and they will lost the possibility of getting more income.

Wii u is getting many multiplatform game  vita dosn't ,Call of duty black ops 2 sold 4 time less then Call of duty black ops desclasified and yet wii u get another Call of duty game and vita not.
