Well the Vita isn't selling at all. That probably has something to do with it. Perhaps a price drop?

In our current world economic crises, it's no wonder 3rd party developers do not want to take a gamble on a unit that has under-met their sales goal. And why should they be the one to take the risk. Sony has to nail first party support to draw out reasons for consumers to buy their unit. Fresh new IPs that center around all Vita can do would be nice. Give consumers something fresh to toy with, that'll give pause for 3rd Party developers to think on. Then and likely only then will Vita Sales turn around.

im not buying one period

Yeah, I see nothing appealing to me except for the new Silent Hill...just because some of the soundtrack for that game is awesome. Other than that, nope.

That's always been the thing about Sony. So disingenuous while charging out the butt for their electronics. Anyway, who do they think they are, Nintendo?

Lower the vita's price, then we'll talk

Funny thing is, I'm buying one to play Persona 4 Golden, which apparently boosted sales in Japan. Maybe not enough to keep in line with what they were hoping, but it helps. It also helps to know that the game is already quality. People keep asking for a price drop, but I think it just needs more of those high quality games to push people in to buying it. Perhaps putting Tokyo Jungle on Vita would do it!

I'm hoping to get a Vita this Christmas. There are a few games I want (Uncharted, Gravity Rush, and maybe Resistance), and I have some downloaded PSP games I want to transfer over to it. No point in buying an outdated PSP to finally play those games I got free after the PSN outage last year

I'd say we're all disappointed, especially since it had SUCH potential. Powerful, with a decent price and Nintendo was bombing a bit with the 3DS at the time it was announced too. I'm no expert, but I'd say a price drop, some improved marketing and more games on the system would do wonders for sales, especially in the upcoming holiday season. It certainly did a lot for the 3DS.

As someone that does not play handhelds maybe I am missing something but, it seems like even Nintendos handhelds are driven by first party titles.  I know there are good 3rd party titles..but it seems like most of the must haves are from Nintendo themselves.

It is somewhat humorous though.  If devs/publishers felt there was money to be made on the Vita they would make games.  It not like game companies turn down ways to make money.  

I bought the Vita when it first came out. Nine games, 7 PSN titles, and most of my previously bought digital PS1 and PSP games later... I love the Vita but it's a game drip here and a game drip there. Not even a trickle. I spent most of the summer waiting impatiently for Zen Pinball2 for the Vita. I had the games prior on the PS3 so that's a port, right? Gravity Rush and Resistance over the summer were fun but we gamers always newer things. So far Assassins Creed 3, Call of Duty, Sly Cooper, and Killzone are the only games getting me excited but they are spinoffs with a port. While not Sony's fault neccessarily the issue is smart phones, tablets, smart HDTVs, etc. aare now all competing for games and services. When Angry Birds hasn't even made it to the Vita (Thank God! Hate them things but I seem to be alone on it.) it demonstrates just how many things has the Birds with their heads lost in the clouds. What, others use worse puns here.

The hardware of the PS3 and the lack of support on the PSP has pretty much given developers a path to steer clear of Sony. If a company is expected to deliver a game a certain time, and they are bogged down by Sony's hardware programing constraints. They are not going to be chomping at the bit to deliver on the Sony platform. Microsoft and Nintendo are much easier to work with as companies. And many companies have rediscovered that the PC platform is worth coming back to. I do not foresee Sony lasting in the game division for long.

ill still get a vita but lets just hope they make some better games for it. Im counting on you sony

Yeah honestly I don't know how the hand held market is going to survive smartphones. Granted they can't give you the quality of games a true hand held gaming console can, but people just don't seem to care. I have a Vita and I'm very happy with my purchase, but I'll admit it's to big for me to take anywhere and protect it properly. I'd have to risk scratching that beautiful screen if I just throw it in my pocket (and as it is it damn near fills my pocket doing just that.

That's because all of the good titles come out in, like, winter and late fall.
All the people want are some new original games. Maybe if you guys made more titles like Gravity Rush exclusively for the Vita, sales would boost, which could result in more 3rd parties.
Gotta prove yourself before getting respect, Sony.

I have a vita and I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed. The vita have had absolutely no games on there during the summer. The only game that was kinda good was gravity rush. But the thing is Sony has put themselves in the same boat as nintendo did when the 3ds was first announced. The only differenceis that for the first half of the year, it was all Nintendo making 3ds games to show consumers what the 3ds can actually do.  When dele operas saw what happened to the 3ds during the holiday season, they jumped on it because of what Nintendo did. Listen, of Sony want to go get some third party support, then make some games yourself to show what the vita can actually do. I want to play unique games on the vita, not games that I could just play on the ps3!

I'll get one for Christmas. Gotta get Project Diva f and Senran Kagura :D

My wife got me the Vita for my birthday. I look at it more as an upgrade from my PSP Go.I do infact wish they would release something new for it.I play alot of the throwbacks so the digitial downloads are holding me over,but from time to time, I question how long is Sony going to be able to pass PS One classics and PSP games for a legit source of revenue for this handheld. I'm more than positive that the Vita can handle some PS2 titles,port those then maybe that could buy Sony some extra time.
