PS Vita: General Discussion

[Mikestarh]

I sold mine because i never played anything except PSP games because there was no decent Vita games.

I'm still keeping my PSP though and playing with that instead. (Plus i can play PS1 games)

Give me a GTA, Monster Hunter, Socom, COD, Assasins Creed etc and i'll buy it again.

However right now i'd rather buy some games with the money i got from the PS Vita instead of leaving it on my bed for weeks.

But you would know all this if you had researched before hand

I guess because the games are what make the console. As much as the PSV is a beautiful piece of hardware, I use my 3DS a lot more simply because it has more games. The backwards compatibility with DS titles also makes the library huge, while we're still waiting for compatibility of downloadable PSP titles for the Vita, and the only way I can use my library of UMDs is with my 3000.

That said, I love my Vita, and there are heaps of games coming out that I want to play, so I would never personally sell it. But, to each their own I suppose.

After E3, I am likely to sell mine, or just starting to sell my games or my memory card.

People expect much on Apps and other features, Although the facebook and skype features are convenient, I'm more into gaming side of the hardware. I grew up with sony and from the pattern of playstation's growth, Vita did give a great breakthrough. It still has room to grow and I'm sure developers are doing their best in taking advantage of  the hardware's capabilities. 

I got my Vita here and it's gonna stay till Sony makes it's last hardware.

I finally decided to sell mine after watching and waiting long enough for Sony to show any real effort in developing their handheld console - or "little box of promises - with little results.  They are fully aware of the terrible position that PS Vita is in globally, and the best they can do is keep it on a methaphorical life support machine with plenty of promotional spin and a dash or two of non-credible assurances.

After a company as large as Sony with a brand as important as Playstation had promised so much, having to do this to their newest games console of merely a few months old is appaling.  Financially speaking, Sony as a company are in trouble. The Playstation brand is in trouble. The PS Vita is in trouble. I'm not suggesting that Playstation will go bust any time soon (and I love my PS3 that is hemorrhaging money for Sony month on month), but it's clear that they have lost their focus, their understanding of their consumers expectations, a grasp on their own software developers (let alone once-excited third party studios) and the commitment and care required to nurture the PS Vita back to the bohemoth of life and offerings that was initially advertised.

It's a very good machine that is severely lacking in terms of games and application software, not to mention a clear vision for a successful future.  I hope Sony manage to turn it all around, but I won't be buying another until they have established a large library of entertainment software that is impressive, unique and exciting.  I'm not holding my breath...

I agree with Eyedeeuk, from the day the Vita came out i still have the same games! nothing new or worth getting in my mind, i have not sold it in fact i taken advantage of people selling there Vita's and got my son one for £80. i think time will tell with this one but they need to pick it up soon as i think alot of people are losing interest, im giving it till the start of next year to see how things change IF they do.

People expect every thing on the first few months but that never happen and RESEARCH on new consoles would have told you this.

The 3DS was in a simular position which is why Nintendo droped the price.

Playstation brand is not in trubble,

Why people keep saying the Vita has nothing is beyond me, Not one console in the last 20 years has had so much to offer than the Vita in terms of games and apps and that is not fan boy babble it is a fact.

It takes time to get games on any new console and the Vita has more after 6 months than both the Ps3 and 360 had put togther.

Now lets get to the route of your problem. It has no games you like or fancy which is different to yours and other claims it has no or little games apps.

Yes uptake has been slow on the Vita and many articles claim it is in trouble but the people who wright them have very short memorys and seem to forget how it all works.

The 3DS uptake was very slow untill nontendo droped the price, expect a Vita price droped in the run up to Christmas

They gone from SOny love to Sony hate with out taking on the facts.

They have not lost their focus or understanding more than likley people are just holding back due to the finacil problems millions are having.

It's a very good machine that is severely lacking in terms of games and application software, not to mention a clear vision for a successful future.  I hope Sony manage to turn it all around, but I won't be buying another until they have established a large library of entertainment software that is impressive, unique and exciting.  I'm not holding my breath...

For the amount of time it has been out it has more games and apps after 6 months than any other console in over 20 years and that is a fact!
