Sony is supoorting the vita with great games, well, japanese games. for next year its freedom wars, gravity rush 2 and if i understand correctly a new soul sacrifice? my point is, this year its getting god eater 2 and had a lot of cool japanese games, but other than sly cooper (a PS3 game initially too), Tear away and killzone there has been no western type of games releasing on it. Japanese gamers might be happy but western gamers certainly are not! 

...and call it. TOD, 5:00p.m. EST, November 12, 2013.

Even if Sony weren't supporting it with Japan Studio, it'd be okay in Japan.  Falcom; Compile Heart; Nippon Ichi; Gust; Acquire etc. would turn up and pander to the Otaku's; and Tecmo Koei + Namco Bandai would throw it a few bones with PS3/Vita games.  It wouldn't be enough to keep the console thriving; but it'd be enough to keep it alive.

In the west we're fighting for anything, really.  The best I can say about third party support over here is that WB are pretty good at making terrible LEGO ports for the console and Milestone Srl. release a few racing games on it.  That's literally it apart from Shahid's indie efforts.  Personally I've loved many of the indie games on Vita, but they're not on store shelves and they don't sell consoles.

I'm glad Sony's Japanese arm is supporting Vita.  I'd rather they did that than just moped around for another generation.  But I need them to mix it in with western studios and right now that's just not happening at all.  Plus, they've gone overboard with hunting games.  We don't need Freedom Wars and Soul Sacrifice; especially since Ragnarok Odyssey; God Eater & Toukiden are already servicing hunting fans on the platform.  Waste of resources imo, unless this Freedom Wars reveal turns out to be something special.

I just sincerely hope that they're cooking something they haven't announced yet and we at least get a Killzone-esque exclusive for Vita next year (InFAMOUS?) plus a few cross-platform retail titles like Ratchet or Sly.  That'd at least keep me content.

My most anticipated Vita game had a small dev team. (Tearaway)

Weren't the likes of Gravity Rush, Uncharted and LittleBigPlanet Vita all made by smaller dev teams, certainly compared with the home console AAA teams they have. So it's not as if he's basically saying that's it now we're only making PS4 games.

I expect PS3 and Vita will see similar type games to what the PS2 and PSP had once the PS3 had launched.

But yeah, thanks Sony, nice to know I can expect a few more major blockbusters on the system... yeah...

Ehh you guys have such a selective memory here sometimes... Gamescom never happened? At least 5 cross platform PS Vita titles and Murasaki Baby exclusive (can't remember more exclusives) all published by SCE. So it's not like they abandoned the console for 2014

No, they've just made it clear all the "big teams" will be moving onto PS4. But I'm not sure Vita ever had any "big teams" developing for it anyway.

Freedom Wars, Gravity Rush 2, Soul Sacrifice Delta, Over My Dead Body 2, and Destiny of Souls all from Japan Studio alone. Infamous Vita sounds like a lock already, too.

This year we had Tearaway, Soul Sacrifice,  Killzone Mercenaries, and Toro's Friend Network (not even going to bother listing shovelware like Sonydogz or Invizimals), so unless I'm missing something, 1st party support is ALREADY outpacing this year's... Doubly so for people like me who vastly prefer Japanese games.

14 person team, in fact.

Well, except for these last few months apparently where the rest of MM came to help finish it up... But 14 person core team is still pretty incredible for a game that looks this amazing.

I'll allow myself to get excited about those once they're given western release dates.  At least with a European title developed for an American/European market (i.e. Tearaway) it's known that they'll release here at some point.  Although I'm expecting 3 of those 4 titles to make it across, no confirmation makes it difficult to get excited about them.

P.S. Destiny of Souls is 2013.

P.P.S. How is Toro's Friend Network not shovelware yet Invizimals is?
