This makes no sense. When publishers start bitching about their games not selling Vita i'm going to just shake my head. You go 3-4 months with no releases then do a massive game dump in the span of a week? What the hell is going through these peoples minds. Not to mention the console releases going on.

No. I don't think anyone would. Whats that a 1 year console lifetime? Who would be satisfied by that.
Also, that crazy October line up seems awful but for someone like myself it's not the worst. I'll purchase P4G and probably AC, but I'll be able to let the other games reduce in price before I am finished with my 2 pickups. From a marketing perspective it is crazy, since a lot of people will do exactly like I plan with buying 1-2 max and then letting the others cool down. Once you miss the original hype window a game needs to reduce in price quite a bit for me to get interested again.
Nintendo illuminati?
Yup, No Wonderbook for Vita was just wrong.
Patsu and I will never forgive them for that.
Will I be Satisfied? absolutely Not, because when you make in investments (money) toward a system you want it to last for years, if they released everything (including dead games like Warrior's Lair) it will be in use for 1 or 2 years max, which is sucks for your money.

The VITA would need to be supported for at least 2 more years or else it'd feel very disappointing and would probably be the final straw for Playstation handhelds at least in the west.
Lol, you think that's bad? Check this out:

ALL ON THE SAME DAY
Even if Vita was a grand success it would be Sony's last traditional handheld.

For some reason I'm not so certain, depends what traditional means. Though I guess there will be iterations of the VITA just like there was iterations of the PSP.
Traditional as in it's not a phone/tablet/everything.
Well seeing how bad the 3DS is doing in the west,I think this is the last generation for traditional dedicated gaming handhelds anyway. (maybe in Japan it will survive for some few years)

Come on, let's not get crazy. You don't simply SHOW vita stuff...
That series need to be a full RPG like an Digimon/Pokemon clone,they can keep the AR battle mode as some secondary mode or something. seriously.
I hear it was pretty popular around there.
The AR stuff is the draw. They need to tailor the experience so that AR isn't required 100% of the time to play the game. Eyepet on PSP supposedly does this, while you can play with the weird monkey thing you feed, take care of it, and can even play some mini-games without AR.
Not likely, they'll be saving it for the Vita Game Heaven event planned for
Maybe some CoD or AC3 shown but no new game announcements. There's no way they don't show CoD considering it launches a few months afterwards (but then I thought the same thing for E3, so who knows.)
Nah. Nintendo has Pokemon.
That heaven is never coming and also I think that deal with MS and Activision will prevent them from showing it
Microsoft ain't going to Gamescom.
SCEE also has unannounced Vita games in development. They'll probably talk about some of them.
Hopefully they'll show Killzone this time.

A couple updates. I started playing Gravity rush for the first time. oh my the game is good. Reminds me a bit I Kikis delivery service 
In other news, my addiction of buying PSP games for vita continues. I picked up the Sega Genesis collection and when you set it to original screen size it looks AMAZING. Almost HD like it was so clear. And playing sonic 1 on the vita in that fashion made me happier than it should. If only it had streets of rage 1-3.

What do you mean by import-friendly? I believe all games are not region locked.
As in... I don't speak Japanese... I can't import Persona 4 for example

Uncharted changes to English.
Changes?

I know everyone is buying up Mortal Kombat to resell at Best Buy and whatnot but I kept a copy and am LOVING it.
This game has sooo much more content than the console versions and while the character models are ugly, the game runs beautifully.

The game is dependent on your system language. Assuming your Vita is set to English, Uncharted will display everything in English.
Nintendo isn't coming as well, they should have two press conferences like Nintendo did for E3
The game looks like it was running at native resolution it can't be real!
That's quite cool... Assuming I find it cheap

Hopefully this is on Sega's to-do list:

I think most games did at the time. Hot Shots, Resistance, and Uncharted. There were rumors that the NGP had beefier specs, so Killzone may also be running at a sub native resolution.

Here is a small article that explains it: http://www.destructoid.com/importing-vita-uncharted-golden-abyss-has-english-217215.phtml
Did you just get a Vita? I assumed most people already played Uncharted!
Dokuro's Japanese demo had English as a text option. I'm not sure if the final Japanese release does, but the game's a platformer, and cheap (like less than 3000 yen) so it doesn't hurt to try.
Resistance, and Uncharted were games originally developed on PS3 hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if the footage was from those builds.

If anyone wants to play an entire MLB 12 game on the Vita, shoot me a message on PSN. Jrod87

I never took that into consideration, good point. If you remember the PlayStation Meeting where Sony unveiled the NGP, though, Uncharted looked nicer there and that was real-time gameplay. I can't speak for the actual resolution of the game, but the lighting seemed to mimic Uncharted 1 better.

That kinda sucks.It is in english. We are going to have a review up of it soon
I bought the Asian version with English for $40.
The Japanese one is $30, but Play-Asia didn't say it had English.
Invizimals? Ridiculously popular in Europe. Seem to recall it did over 1 million which was pretty good on PSP. Also i seem to remember some UK schools using it for classes.

It definitely feels like the Vita had it's specs cut back before release, there's just so many titles that are sub native-res.
Didn't they demo Metal Gear Solid 4 running on the NGP when it was first announced? Now they can't even get MGS2 running at native res, or at it's original PS2 framerate.
I still love my Vita and everything, but the amount of games that don't take full advantage of that beautiful screen makes me sad. =(
It ran but it was only a cutscene and the framerate was about 20fps wasn't it?
I don't give a fuck if i game has 60FPS and is native res. If it's fun, i'll like it.

Got my Vita from the Amazon Warehouse deals on Friday, and I have been playing the hell out of Hot Shots Golf. Very impressed with this little handheld. I am glad I got off the fence, and made a rare impulse purchase.
For the upcoming B2G1, I'm thinking I will be purchasing Gravity Rush, Disgaea 3, and Unit 13 (not sure about this one yet, but I loved the demo). Is Unit 13's mulitplayer still active?

It was on sale in Europe until wednesday, so should be pretty active i would have though.
Also, have you bought Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack yet? If not then get on PSN and download it.

It's so bad. If you ever played Little Deviants and saw what a monstrosity the first screen is that show the warnings, blah.
