RIP the last guardian. We hardly knew ye
Well, at least I can look back on the Vita and feel that it was never given a chance. I suppose that's better than Sony aggressively pushing the device and it still failing. I suppose this way I can ruminate on what might have been.
It was Sony that said it was going to be a Vita show. You can't call people 'delusional' for listening to 'em.
Well, you can, because 'delusional' has lost all meaning over the last few months. It's just a buzzword now.
So much for "the vita show"

You're preaching to the choir. They should have. I think it's become apparent that they won't though. They're probably doing the right thing, sadly.Fuck that , SONY should have push VITA aggressively , i was hoping for at least gamecube level of good and original games plus sales. I like the platform , it have a better D-pad than 3DS , puppeteer should be out for the VITA instead on PS3. And where the hell is my gravity rush 2?!
So we can safely ignore this one too. It's a Vita show again!People really took that "Vita show" quote as gospel? C'mon..
That's still irrelevant. They've got big IPs that could appeal to the handheld consumer (Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, Legend of Dragoon, Dark Cloud), but they refuse to utilize those IPs properly to help the device that needs support the most.
I dunno, is this really going to be exciting? I doubt they have much new to show. You'll get Euro-centric sports stuff, and more Drive Club.
Great for vita is pushing it when they spent ac bunch of timevon BOI think some of you need to remember that Gamescom 2012 was a great show for Vita and PS3, they can do it again but this time Vita and PS4.
None of them would change the situation. What Sony lacks are handheld-centric IPs, they don't have a Monster Hunter or a Pokemon. All Sony would be doing is stretching themselves thin, they need to focus all of their effort on the PS4 now

As a PSP launch day owner the way Sony has treated Vita has been absolutely no surprise to me. PSP succeeded in spite of Sony, not because. If Vita did it also would not have owed anything to Sony. After all these years Sony is still the absolute worst at console hype, support and marketing. They literally take the "eh, just release it, people will make games for it, it markets itself" approach. We are talking about a company that only had one stupid commercial for launch that few people even saw till AFTER the damn thing launched, then it quickly disappeared. That was Sony's launch marketing folks, one fucking commercial. Any expectations from Sony should have been set to very low to null.
I disagree. Third parties are what sells their consoles most of the time anyway, so they likely don't have to worry too much. They needed teams working on new IPs for handhelds, and making use of the IPs that they have that work best on handhelds (Platformers & JRPGs).
They wasted their time and sat around making excuses, and the Vita has suffered as a result. They need to become aggressive: Drop the price of the device and memory cards, announce some new exclusives, and market the damn thing.
Wipeout, Wipeout, Wipeout.
If I say it enough, it might just happen.
It's really bizarre how that works, if you think about it. Sony releases a platform and depends on third parties to sell it for the first few years. You would think Sony would be very aggressive in their support of their systems, but it seems like they don't have to be.
How do they convince third parties to get on board if none of their first party efforts work?

I'm not sure if I understood your post very well but I think Sony revealed Tearaway and rerevealed Killzone Mercenary at Gamescom and both of them are shapping very well.Great for vita is pushing it when they spent ac bunch of timevon BO

I was in the same boat as you and should honestly know better by now. But I always try to remain optimistic that they'll actually provide.

Well actually my point, and evidence in sales, is they do have to be more aggressive in their support. With PSP they had an advantage of games already in development by third parties thinking it would be the next big thing. When those second wave games came out, and the whole hacking thing increased PSP sales that was more of a hail mary. Vita has neither of those right now.
With the buzz around PlayStation 4 building, 2013 continues to be one of the most exciting years ever for video games fans. A host of next generation titles were unveiled at the PlayStation Meeting 2013 and E3 2013. At gamescom in August 2013 the focus will be on PS4 and its games line-up once again.
They could still have a Vita price drop and a game or two if its a PS4 focused show.
