It's hard to argue with facts. Sony doesn't give a damn about the Vita.

What are you talking about?

Sony saved the Vita from this game. I say they do.



Seb hits the nail on the head yet again.

PlayStation Mors would have been a more fitting name.



                            

Good work, Slimebeast

Though i fear you're not terribly far off the mark. E3 for Vita was... yeesh...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I think the fact that Zipper/Liverpool/Bigbig's last games were Vita before getting shuttered is a coincidence.

It's clear SCEA have nothing but contempt for Vita backed up by theiir dire E3 showing (remember E3 is just SCEA), But outside the US, Vita's first party support is just starting to pick up. I'd say it's 3 most important western first party releases to date are out next quarter from SCEE. KillZone, Invizimals and Tearaway and I'm sure they'll be announcing more at GamesCon.

it's been almost two years now, sony already lost it with psvita. I still don't understand why it needs a memory card for SAVE DATA ON GAMES. seriously, the gameboy pocket already stored the saves on the cardriges. would it take too much to be like 3ds and have an inner memory for save data storage?

they also neglected their main market. had they secured some big jrpgs, vita's situation would be better in japan. and they lost monster hunter, wich was psp's savior the gen before.

It happened with the Wii U and 3DS, so why not with the Vita? Even though third parties love Sony, it is hard to continue support if money is tight.


You're joking, right?

Are we still in 2012? Oh wait no. Actual reality suggests Vita is picking up in Japan.

current vita sales are inconsistent and reach a maximun of 2x it's pre price cut sales, that's not picking up. And no big games on the horizon certainly don't help.

Sorry to tell you this, but the Vita is still doing poorly in Japan.  The pricecut did make a higher low for the Vita's weekly sales, but without the proper games it wont make it far before numbers go back down to previous numbers.
