Call of duty and Asassin creed are enougth to prove big games could do well on Vita,how niche games would make 3rd party confident about psvita.

In Japan many niche games sold well but vita still don't have a better support for big editors.

Call of Duty was a disaster not even made by the same studio. Assassin's Creed was actually respectable and it actually helped sales at the beginning and even you cannot deny that.

Its not about just selling the games, its getting the games on the device. Don't you understand that part. How can you sell anything when you cannot even put them on it. I have no idea why you cannot understand this simple LOGIC!

So the Vita does have games then. It's scary how lack of advertisement can really make you think that the Vita didn't have games at all....

Lack of advertisement.

...And petty internet fanboys.

Combined with denial and an obsession that another console is the only handheld system to have any games of note released.

Real gamers actually understand that the Vita's current predicament is a tradgedy. Whilst fanboys are loving it because they don't really care about actual software Only sales figures for their "team".

I did this thread while I knew I was going to buy the Vita sometime next year because of remote play with my PS4 then I learned a lot about it and I am actually getting the Vita next week during my vacations.
I saw the trailer of Terraway with the screaming at the screen and touching the screen, that is one game that should have been available to demo or play in every single gamestop. I didn't even know they had such a game until "small44" mentioned it.

And then VGhippy mentioned they currently have Uncharted, Gravity Rush free with PS+. Already download them on my PS3 . Sony is really doing a poor job in advertising the Vita.

To me, the main problem is that Sony is approaching PS Vita's strategy from a steal share perspective.

It's a problem for 2 reasons:
1) The entire category is going down because of the threat of substitutes (smartphones)
2) The demographic they're targeting (adults) are leaving the category entirely due to substitutes

So really, Sony is trying to steal adult gamers from the 3DS, when a majority of those gamers have already abandoned handheld gaming. Instead of pushing how differentiating the PS Vita is (better graphics, thumbsticks, etc) and push why consumers should want a handheld in the first place. There's a number of ways they can do this:

1) Smartphones are bad for gaming because of battery life. Emphasize that games drain a smartphone's battery very quickly, and the problem is compounded when the batteries get older. Sony can illustrate this by showing a person having their phone die on them, maybe missing an important call.

2) Smartphones are poor sources of entertainment for long periods of times. Smartphones are great for killing time on the short run. There's something new on the net you can look up, you can play a phone game for 5-10 minutes. But games like Angry Birds get very old and boring when you're at an airport or on the plane, especially when your flight gets delayed.

So again, I think Sony needs to go back to basics. Why should the average consumer even want a handheld when they already have an expensive portable device anyway?

All the awesome games is in Japan.

Yea, it is peculiar.

The scary part is that each person claiming Vita has no games is part of a culture of writing things off due to lack of advertisement.

All this information is publicly available, but if it isn't advertised, then (for some reason) our internet cultured brains to just sort of write it off as having no games...

The problem actually goes further if you inspect at how critical thinking, proactive effort, articulation of morals/intent/etc. have gradually declined in the expanding "westernized" world, but that is another topic all on its own.

1) It's to high-end to begin with. The price is a problem, they should bring the 2000 model to West and give it a good price cut, close to US$ 150 (and they can, the current 2000 is probably selling with profit in Japan). Despite the OLED screen looking amazing, the LCD model is cheaper and would be more adequate.

2) The memory cards are to expensive and the digital games are pretty huge. It's easy to find games with 3 or 4GB. I've had a 8GB card and it was completely useless after 2 digital games. Even the 32 GB one isn't that big. It's a combination of huge games with expensive memory cards.

3) PS4 push. They need a PS4 + Vita bundle for US$ 500.

4) They should push it on Europe. US numbers are a disaster, Japan ones are more decent but it's because they are pushing it with everything there. EU frequently does better numbers than Japan and they aren't even trying there. A push on EU could help.

5) Outiside Japan, their advertisement is horrible regarding Vita.
