Unless a bunch of exclusive JRPGs come along that are 70+ metacritic then I will not be buying one.

I'm not interested in watered down console ports or quirky original puzzley type games that the Vita is currently receiving. I've played those quirky games on my PSP and good as they are, they aren't worth the investment on the Vita in different forms imo.

I don't really see a market for the Vita at the current time with it's current lineup of games, for me at least. I also doubt if long term support can be maintained. That situation will be clearer Q1 2013.

Is one at 94 good enough?

Great a ps2 port.

I bought my 3G Vita through the $50 extra deal to get it a week before launch on February 15th. At the beginning of summer I had a dry spell with it and towards the end of summer I had another one. Then LBP came out and I've got back into the vibe of it.

I have Uncharted, Wipeout, Little Deviants, Gravity Rush, Resistance, and LittleBigPlanet. Download wise I have a 32 gb card for SunFlowers, Motorstorm, Escape Plan, Frobisher Says (paid DLC), Super Stardust Delta, Sound Shapes, and Mutant Blobs Attack. It is an incredible system and even if no more games released I'd be happy with my investment. Despite that I'm eagerly awaiting the future as this thing has so much untapped potential. If sales pick up, future games could look better than Uncharted 3 considering optimization and such.

I enjoy handheld gaming more than console gaming, so I am still looking forward to buy a vita, my problem is that there are not enough games to warrant my purchase. P4G is a must for me, so I'll get a vita eventually.

- Controls are inferior to that of Xbox and PS controllers. Smaller sticks, smaller buttons positioned too closely to the right stick resulting in accidental button presses. (Or so I have heard.) No handles to give the user a good grip.

- The hardcore gaming experience is trimmed down significantly due to previously mentioned controls, worse sound (I don't like using earphones when gaming, but even then I don't own any high quality earphones), smaller screen (scaling down the epic feel of enjoying massive detailed on-screen objects and environments/landscapes).


While the last two points also applies to my 3DS, the 3DS compensates these issues with its unique software.

@BOLD

You've fallen prey to the same crowd that said 3DS killed your eyes. Unless you play with your fists it is impossible for that to happen. What is real however is your thumb tapping the touch screen. That is actually physically possible and has happened to me on a few games.

@ITALICIZED

See I worried about that before I got the system with Uncharted but it really isn't the case. I have a very large and nice TV for gaming and while playing the Vita I am just as engulfed in its screen as I am when playing console games.

Honestly I don't see myself using it. I got an iPhone recently and it satisfies my on the go gaming needs, and I don't want to have a second bulky device in my pocket solely for games.

My phone can't play console quality games but...that's what my console at home is for.

Nobody played Shadow of the Colossus or ICO, but those are considered some of Gaming greats. Persona 3 and 4 are part of that great tradition.

I forgot about the ICO HD collection, I need to get that. It'll be the first time I play those games too.

No, I don't have the system and have no intention of buying it. It offers me nothing worthwhile.

I bought a PSP when they first came out and I enjoyed it for a while. It offered a good variety of entertainment (games,music,movies) on the go. Then I saw someone at work with a DS and a was a little jealous because the games seemed better.

Today, the "extra" stuff that I liked about a PSP is available on my smartphone. If I wanted a device strictly for games, I would get a 3DS: more games, better games, cheaper price, cheaper games. I can see no reason why a person would buy a Vita over it's competitor unless they really like Sony's 1st party games.

No I dont own vita but want to buy a vita eventually. The games look great and the system is top notch. I have a ps3 and a psp i bought when ps vita was released. So for now I am very happy with my psp. My ps3 and psp are keeping me very busy. Somewhere down the line I will want a vita but for now I am happy with what I have.
