In all honesty you need killer exclusive franchises to sell your system. COD and Assassins creed will be mostly played on consoles/PC. Theres a good chance they will be overlooked for the Vita. Same goes for Sly and PS all stars as they will be mostly bought for the PS3 as well.

good for vita and for sony as a whole... i am a nin fan, but without a good handheld competition nin will just regurgitate itself over and over again. so great news for all gamers

COD and AC have such a big responsibility.
Same for Soul Sacrifice in Japan.

They simply have no margin for failure anymore.

I don't think these massive games belong on the handheld systems. Like Sales2099 said, most people will be playing those bigger titles on their console or PC. That's not to say that handhelds shouldn't have huge exciting games, just not ones that are better suited for a console or PC experience. The Vita would greatly benefit from titles like Warriors Lair and RPG's like Y's. Still huge games in their own right, but not to the scope of Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed.

I really don't understand how Sony can't get their heads around this. Did they do some kind of extensive R&D that told them this is what gamers want? Or is this just not being done, so their taking a gamble on the chance that gamers may love this and don't know it? If you ask me, they need to put a poll up on their main blog asking what kinds of experiences are you looking for on the Vita, and at what price points are you most comfortable paying for those experiences? Then run ad campaigns on TV and the internet directing all consumers to visit the site and complete the poll.

I know I personally want smaller more unique gaming experiences with a price tag between $4.99 - $19.99. Games smaller than Assassin's Creed and COD, but bigger than the IPhone games/apps. I'm really not comfortable paying $35.00 - $50.00 for my Vita games, even at the scope of Assassin's Creed/COD.  And smartphones have the .99 - Free games market cornered. That and my Vita is capabale of so much more than .99 apps, so it should be utilized. I just can't see how Sony doesn't understand this.

I'll believe it when I see it.

My thoughts exactly

Wait, is this even allowed? Technically, the shareholders are the owners of the company and the management is obliged to share information like this, at least in germany. Can someone shed light on this?

Put up or shut up Sony

We've seen nothing for COD and one small trailer for AC, LBP is just being milked at this stage I can't see many people caring its on vita.

Most of my friend ask me if they should get a vita and I keep saying no there's nothing for it

AC3:Liberation looks amazing and is shaping up to be a great title. I hope it sells on its own merits but the bonus items you get for playing AC3 on PS3 will hopefully entice fans to get a Vita to play it if they don't already.

I can't say anything about CoD, because, well no one can yet. I see a lot of potential for the game using Vita's touchscreen features for things like air strikes, cutting the wires on a bomb, pounding a code into a number pad, and melee. That with Vita's ad hoc and online capabilities I see a great game that will please fans of the series.

LittleBigPlanet Vita is going to be "the" LittleBigPlanet. They always build up and last I remember it will be compatible with the other levels made by the community. The features on the Vita will let Media Molecule run rampant with different gameplay mechanics and I've experienced it in an early demo before the Vita launch, whether tilting through a level on a jetpack or playing some air hockey, this game will be huge fun.

People are extremely judgmental of handhelds. The Vita is a full leap forward in handheld capability. It is just as capable of games as this gen of home consoles is. Scope, detail, graphics, content. It can play full size games and people enjoy playing those games as indicated by sales on home consoles. It's not the TV, it's not the surround sound system. When I was growing up I played on a 200lb 22" fuzzy magnetic warped tube on the floor! If you need something all encompassing wear headphones and hold it close to your face, best part, you can sit or stand or lay anywhere.

If its about "handheld" type games, the Vita has hundreds. Minis, PSP titles, most of the Vita titles out there are quick match experiences. Their fun games, but gamers want big titles, open titles, epic quests. Just because its a handheld doesn't mean they need to play games based on one mechanic like angry birds or cut the rope, even though they can play games like that. Consoles are full of games that match the "handheld" requirements I see others talk about. They have plants vs zombies, angry birds, cut the rope, fruit ninja, bejeweled. Those games sell just fine. There is no discrepancy between console games and handheld games, they are games, period.

I bought a Vita because I wanted a handheld system, a system that I hold in my hands, can take places, play wherever. I bought a Vita because it's better than a PS3, it has more features, its more versatile, it has more controls for gameplay mechanics, it can play online, it can cross game chat, it has apps, it has games.
