PS Vita: General Discussion

[xElfenLied_US]

Gonna sell mine at CeX tomorrow, except I can't delete my PSN account from it, so whoever will buy my PS Vita, won't be happy lol. Seems a common problem with second hand PS Vita's.

Make a 2nd account, delete the main and leave the spare one on. This works on PS3. Does this not work with the Vita?? Locking accounts to a Vita to counter preowned sales sounds pathetic

I agree, the Vita has become a complete farce in terms of available games.

Yes I agree on the games issue, but unless you have won the Euro lottery last weekend (£126million), buying the expansions for MW3, Battlefield 3, PSN+, plus all the new games for PS3, PS Vita, PC oh and my Smartphone, it gets a bit expensive. All I was trying to point out that in a world were APPLE has the edge on mobile apps, Android a very far back 2nd place, SONY need to get their heads out of the profit margins and look at the reason why people buy from the competitors. 

MICROSOFT are making an announcement on the 18th JUNE, the whispers are either the XBOX720 release date or a new MICROSOFT mobile gaming phone. My daughter has an Iphone 4, the Iphone 5 is due out in October, I have a GALAXY NOTE, I spend most of my free time using that now rather than my PS VITA. When I bought my PSP I used it as an alternative to my SATNAV, with the VITA's touch screen, that I thought would have been the first APP SONY would have added. A very respectful TECH magazine's July edition headline banner says PSVITA's TOP APPS, I bought it to read the editor is talking about the APPS what we already have and no mention of any new APPS. That is what a letdown SONY has become, and in a world were job losses are a daily thing and companies closing, people are not spending money on what are essentually  luxury products.

Maddog's right, the Vita is sorely needing more Apps and games. I didn't buy one on launch because A) The thing gave me hand-cramp when I tried it (I know, not Sony's fault), B) I remembered how uselessly slow Sony were getting the PSP to a place where it was desirable and C) It cost too much for what it was/is.

IF they can get some more decent games onto it (and I'm not talking about 15 year old ports or "HD re-makes") and sell them at a DECENT PRICE in line with being nothing more than a STRING OF CODE, and obviously some useful Apps, I'll take a second look at it. But as it stands right now, (and this is coming from a gadget freak) it's not just unwanted in my eyes, it's actually quite offensive! I mean, why are they repeating PSP history!? COME ON SONY, get yer finger out eh!

LOL jokers, what did you expect? look at the psp go lol i sold mine a year after getting it...

i mean c'mon it was obvious the vita would flop 

[Cringles88]

Didn't the PSP do pretty good & still doing good. Do you guys remember how long it took for the PS3 even to ''take off''? 

With the newly released Gravity Rush, you can see what the Vita can do, even the touch controls are great & better than previous releases. It will show other developers that the Vita isn't something to ignore. It is an awesome game that many of you have missed out on because you haven't any patience.

Already sales alone are picking up quiet a bit in Japan because of Gravity Rush/Daze. 

Vita hasn't failed at all. If anything it's Sony that's failed at advertising, plus with the economy the way it is, I think even the next Gen consoles will struggle. This time next year I think some of you will be thinking about buying it again. If I'm wrong, I'll accept that & I will eat all of your hats haha.

What games were you guys even hoping for anyway just out of interest?

[Kyosuko]

I honestly have no idea why people are complaining, I love my Vita and this posts are so ironic it's unbelievable. PS VITA HAS NO GAMES! IM SELLING IT!, That's like me saying MY IPHONE DOESNT HAVE IOS 6 IM SELLING IT!. 

The games you want, what ever that maybe will be coming out and you will enjoy those games. How long do you think it takes to develop a game on a totally new platform? 2 weeks? More like 2 years. Selling your device will get you no games never. 

Just be patient. I'm a Little Big Planet Beta tester, this device is going somewhere. But you can go buy a Nintendo and play Mario all day and if you get bored of Super Mario 3D Land you can play Mario Kart 7 or Mario Tennis Open and remember New Super Mario Bros. 2 is coming out soon too.

Sorry, I like both devices both PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS, but I'm more than a casual gamer so PS Vita appeals to me way more. Honestly, you are not going to get this power and capability on any other handheld, you are not going to get this experiance on any other handheld. Selling it defeats the purpose. You want games you can...

A) Go buy some games. Do you have Uncharted? Do you have Wipeout? Do you have Unit 13? Do you have Gravity Rush?

B) Wait, the console hasn't been out long. "I want it and I want it now" attitude isn't going to change anything.

Or you could just sell it. That's fine also. I'll enjoy my PS Vita no matter what you do to yours.

Excause me if you find me being rude at all through out this post, it's not intended.

Every console has this problem in the first year

Research it and you will see that.

The Vita has more games for it after 4 months than any other console had in 8 months

What games were coming again research would have told you that.

People seem to be wanting Ps3 games but why? This is a portable format and most people want unieque games not ports or HD upgrades. If you want them play on the PS3 it's much easyer and cheaper

Research would have told you every thing you need to know.

Netflix you can get in under 5 minutes is you follow guides

Yes a COD game is coming

A resitance game is already out

Many games are coming.

loyalty means nothing to companies sadley

Research would have savesd you £240 on a paper weight.

But teh vita has no gamezzzzzzzzzzz <snore>

Go buy a smartphone and/or an iPad = loads of minigame for you there - you can try and beat the PM's Angry Bird score lol.

Meantime, leave the Vita alone - it has more than enough real games as it is, the timeframe of pumping out more is fine.
