Or they offer different control options in the games for vita and vita tv. It's no rocket science.

Crossplay titles already do it (for example Sly 4). Many PS3 titles let you choose between gamepad and move controllers. Some Wii games let you choose between wiimote only, wiimote and nunchuk or classic controller. Nearly every PC game lets you choose between mouse/keyboard and gamepad.

What does saving the Vita mean?

It actually does need saving. It's only at 5.7 million and it doesn't show many signs of improvement. Sony lost Monster Hunter (1) and developers won't make games for the Vita (2). Indies are great but it will need more than that to succeed. Hopefully Vita TV will increase the install base and increase developer trust and support.

(1)

(2) Have you checked this week's Media Create thread? Vita has 2 games in the top 10. It doesn't need to be "saved" (at least in Japan) : it's already a viable market for 3rd parties and its get more games from them than 3DS already.

To answer your question, PSVita TV has hardly any help for Vita. In fact it competes with Vita since you can play Vita games without a Vita. It is actually at risk to take sales from it.

It's the worst form of Monster Hunter possible, while 3DS gets Monster Hunter 4 and possibly Monster Hunter 5 and 6. Though I value Soul Sacrifice and Gravity Rush etc over Monster Hunter, sales matter in the end and what sells the platform. PSP enjoyed Monster Hunter sales while Sony was fucking moronic to not have made it exclusive like Nintendo has done. Goddammit :(

Still not seeing how the Vita is dying.

Ask youreself, is Sony giving the Vita the attention of what Nintendo is doing for the 3DS?

What does the 3DS have to do with my question?

Everything.

What are Sony's plans for the Vita beyond 2013?

A handful of niche games (literally) that won't do anything to boost sales.

What 1st party software from Sony (assuming you don't have one) would drive you to purchase a Vita in the forseeable future?

Nintendo is the driving force behind all of their hardware, so when I bring up the level of attention Nintendo gives to the 3DS and is Sony even doing a fraction of that for the Vita. It's on its death knell.

A glorified controller that occasionally plays niche titles and a random indie game here and there does not a dedicated handheld make, especially one made in Japan. 2DS and Pokemon are nails in that coffin.

Whatever. we all know that 3DS will lead but we don't give a shit, really. At least Japan has a couple big titles for next year like SS: Delta and Freedom Wars so far.

Besides, Vita is getting God Eater 2 and Phantasy Star Nova. While no "Pokémon", God Eater, God Eater Burst, Phantasy Star Portable and Phantasy Star Portable 2 where the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th best selling games in Japan for PSP that were not Monster Hunter or Final Fantasy-related. All of them far above any Sony offering for the console. There is also FFX and X-2 HD, that while not "new" titles, should sell well.

It is not that Vita is getting nothing at all from Sony while PSP got everything (talking about Japan). Sony hardly published system sellers on PSP and the same keeps valid for Vita. At least they are constantly making new, original and interesting games for Vita (Gravity Rush, Soul Sacrifice, Freedom Wars) that is much more effort than what Nintendo does, as the latter sits over franchises that are meant to be a huge success without much effort. If they don't screw up, many of their games will sell millions only based on the IP.

I am not considering the west because it is obvious that Nintendo is not pushing for any games with the west in mind for 3DS. It just happen that many of their huge franchises in Japan also appeal to the west, so they don't need to push for things like Uncharted and Killzone.
