I think it needs games that are somewhere in between Collectathon and RPG. These have proven time and time again to be the most popular types of portable games. My favorite games to play on GBA has always been Pokemon, Megaman Battle Networks, and FF Tactics Advanced. So Sony needs to really tap into their connections and make those happen for Vita(bar the exclusives of course).

-Would really like to see FF Tactics 2 finally release exclusively on Vita. Hopefully it will be more like Advance because it had a far superior battle system. The Laws were a great twist to combat I think, the story was light hearted and whimsical like a Ghibli flick, and I could actually see my enemies and surroundings BEFORE I chose my party (ARGH!!!). I hated that FFT WOTL scaled enemies to you. I like being an overwhelming force in SRPGs. They can make the story and theme serious like in WOTL tho, that was great. Maybe 3D sprites this time ala Jeanne D'Arc(underrated PSP Gem).

-Pokemon is a NIN IP so this won't be jumping ship anytime soon. I wouldn't mind a rip-off at all though. NiNoKuni looks just right to fit that mold. They should most assuredly bring the series to Vita. I can see the premise now.... Each game starts with a new kid being sucked into that same world for one reason or another. He/She will use the familiars to help solve some riddle in the story. Perfect Recipe :)

-and the king of Collectathons is obviously MH. Yet Sony needs one that is exclusive to them and won't stab them in the back like Capcom. Preferably a game with a few more RPG elements mixed in, at least levels and perks of some sort. God Eater was pretty well recieved. Soul Sacrifice might be their winning ticket in this department too.

I really dont think genre matters anymore. Its not rare that we here about someone that never liked action games (for example) but recently found one thats amazing to them. I used to thing i was a big jrpg fan but jrecently i learned for the most part, i cant stand the genre. There were just a few key ones that i played which were just really well designed.

Sony doesnt need to focus on getting more games of a certain genre. What they need to do is make quality games of any kind and have a way to get these games more exposure. People will wont vitas if they try out 3 or 4 games thathat use the system's features well and are simply very enjoyable. Quality games and and a new approach to marketting is what i think they need.

what happened to console rpgs and whys the vita doing nothing about that ?

i voted for rpgs

Girly games... I'm serious.. Sony still thinks that boys/young men buy gadgets.. Clearly this isn't the case and women and girls want and buy gadgets.. Like an iPad, 3ds, iPod touch etc.. Sony needs to get more gender friendly games like nintendogs and girls exclusive games like the Imagine series.. The DS games sold like 20 million.. It's a huge market Sony isn't tapping (pun intended)

It needs unique games, not PS3-ports and inferior spin-off. And it needs proper marketing

That is much harder for me to answer. I think a console need some of everything. And good games are more important than a mass of games of one type. Also I think you miss fighters (Street Fighter).

It needs more fighting games it needs Tekken

Really?

It already has:

• BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend 
• Mortal Kombat
• Reality Fighters
• Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 

And this are on it's way:

• PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
• Street Fighter X Tekken

I think anything would boost sales as long as it was developed by the right 1st party studios, naughty dog or santa monica, could really show what vita is made of!
