I hope to see original IPs for the vita as well, qnd not just games from existing franchises exclusive to vita, though im excited for ACIII Liberation

Yup! That sounds right! But Sony should give themselves more credit because they did have some great, unique games on the PSP like Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Kingdom Hearts. They are right in that they didn't have many "new" IPs.

That is true, I remember the pretty crappy port of Rainbow Six: Vegas and Army of Two: 40th Day.

In the entire life span of the psp i only had 10 games. Gta: Liberty City Stories/Vice City stories,MGS:Portable Ops/Ops+/MGS Peace Walker,Tony Hawk Underground 2,Resistance: Retribution,Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters,Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Silent Hill Origins, i had a couple of ps1 classics as well but the games i listed imo are the main reason why i love the psp even though it lacked in games or alot of games where not for me.

As long as they're not direct ports, but enhanced versions such as Persona 4 Golden, I'm good with ports, but Sony's right the Vita needs more original games and IP.

Most of the games I have for PSP are unique to the PSP. I don't have many ports. I have loads of great games and still enjoy my PSP to this day.

That's funny because when I think of PSP games, it's hard for me to pick out ports. Maybe it had that problem in the beginning, but the games for it overall were quite good. I think the Vita will do much better in the ports issue.

Let's hope the Vita will get more units sold by the end of the year. Cheers.

When I was in Japan earlier this summer, most game stores had TONS of varied PSP games. I'm going to make a generalization and say that PSP is doing well over there STILL. The selection was mostly games never released here in the US but what a variety!

I still own a PSP 1000, and after being over there, I felt bummed out that like many others here in the US, I owned just about 10 games when I could have owned 30+ :/

Then how come there were many games that were PSP only?

I don't even think it's so much the lack of original games as it is the fact that good, quality games simply weren't being released. I mean, like the Vita, the PSP got off to a VERY slow start, and even as the good games trickled in, they did so at such a slow rate that people were turned off the PSP in favor of the DS, which was getting a lot of good/great games at a reasonable rate.

I never got the hate towards the PSP. I always liked it more than the Nintendo handheld that was out.

Well then it was kind of a mistake to have a good portion of your Vita launch titles be ports, wasn't it? I mean really the thing IS a PS3 port machine.

Big mistakes Sony. Port machine is already how I see the Vita.

while i loved the rpgs on psp ( that i played) , even i have to admit there was a good number of ports .. not always a bad thing for those that missed them but it really doesn't look great too ... honestly tho i'd be more worried about 3ds with ports/remasters than psv

...duh?  They couldn't see that happening?

Oh criminy, I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR 5 YEARS.

yeah but alot of those ports were great ps2 titles that no one seemed to play when they were on ps2.  

Well considering that the Vita's next big offering is a PORT of Persona 4 from the PS2, we seem to be in the same exact boat. Other then that, Assassins Creed III and the Call of Duty game seem to be the only other offerings for the remainder of the year. Another Sony product falling by the wayside, what a shame.

i want a vita.

There's nothing wrong with ports. The real problem with the PSP was a lack of original games.
