  • I guess the Vita isn't good enough from a business standpoint to dedicate a video to it. I wonder if there's going to be a video tomorrow.
  • So then... what's tomorrow?
  • I'm pretty sure that the announcement will be about the PS4. But, what if they release an os?
  • Very interesting video... C'mon Sony. Make one more video about the Vita talking about how you really feel abou it and how you wanna improve it :)

  • I think Sony has done great in the past and I can not wait to see what this big announcement is!

  • Anyone else notice how that one actually felt a lot more like an advertisement for the Vita? They barely showed the PSP, and barely showed any gameplay of any games on it to boot. Sony, are you trying to trick us? Because if you are, please let me give you some tips on marketing, because you suck at it.
  • I actually am satisfied by the library of their portable systems. Well, Vita will get more great games eventually but I'm still looking to get some PSP games for it. It may not have as many great games as the DS but it's still great.
  • Eh.

  • Anyone else notice that when they talked about PSP, they said that it introduced console quality gaming on the go, then when they talked about Vita they said the same thing?
  • how very odd...absolutely no mention of the PSP Go...
  • People was so quick to say Sony would release the vita video Tuesday  but nope they was wrong, now they are asking what's Tommorow lol......if anything probably nothing other than psn store update eh

  • the vita has had a terrible first year im the only person i know with one and the psp had a better sell but the vita is a pretty cool little system with basically all the technological advancements that we didnt have wen they came out out with the psp and the will probably come out with more portable PlayStation systems until they cell cause relly who dosent wish they could bring their ps3 with them everywhere and play anytime they want.

  • OMFG. hey sony less propaganda more games. In fact i'll be as clear as possible. Make a good high caliber fps with multiplayer as good as the home console versions. The VITA blew it big time by putting ZERO love into Black Ops. Thats why everyone got all excited about the duel analog sticks. We all thought "wow finally i can play a fps on a handheld". The novelty and nostalgia of handhelds has worn away. Now handhelds must produce games with the same quality and volume of the home consoles or produce average games infrequently but at a cheep price, like 100$ for the handheld system and 20$ for games. SONY charges the same price as a home console and about 10$ to much for their games and then has the nerve to release good original games once in a blue moon. In fact have they ever released an ORIGINAL good game for the VITA. Seriously lets think. What good ORIGINAL games are there on the system. Im sure i can play something similar to PERSONA 4 on another system. LITTLE BIG PLANET isn't original but atleast its a good exclusive title. But what else? Im drawing a blank. I'm not a CoD nut but damn that was the missing piece for Me. Now i just feel like im wasting time and energy investing in the VITA.
  • That was an interesting Vita ad..... But seriously, I love the PSP (even when I didn't have one).

  • Not to flame but there's a lot of issues with the Vita I wished Sony would deal with. Price tags on the handheld itself and the memory cards are part of the problem. But I also hope the library expands significantly by the end of the year.

  • PS4 it's almost time

  • Vita had great games like Uncharted, Gravity Rush, and.... (***, can you show the script? I can't remember. What? That's it? Uh... All right." ... Gravity Rush. Anyway...

  • ps4 already come on

  • "...and strong titles like Uncharted Golden Abyss and Gravity Rush", uhhh...no.
