Really, i never noticed that, i havn't been on one for a long time, :P

why is that, Is it because of the small screen or did they go all out an thing's like shader's? I would have thought it would have been noticeably better than the 3ds.

look at resident evil revalations and then uncharted on ps vita the games look fairly similar also the 3D makes it look even better depending on the game

I don't really know much about PSVita, but from what I've heard this is Sony's own fault. They made some poor choices, and the hand-held wasn't selling as well as people had hoped. Like I said, I could be mistaken. I'm just going by what I've heard.

A price cut would really help right now.

More like we need more games for Vita. It would be suicide if they did a price cut.

Ohh yea, right, forgot about Sony's financial situation. They are doing quite well keeping that under wraps.
I did run across an IGN article saying that Call of Duty for the Vita info will be coming soon. That'll be the perfect title to boost up Vita sales.

I just got a 3DS and I'm loving it. I didn't even consider getting a Vita because it's so hard to beat Nintendo's lineup of 1st party games. Don't get me wrong, Vita is cool and all but Nintendo has some serious experience with handhelds.

Wait...so your saying it like Vita actually has 1st party support? I have a Vita and It's frustrating when new psp games pop up all the time and It's just crickets chirping on the Vita side.

At least the first party lineup is great. They have Sly Cooper, LBP Vita, PS All Stars, Killzone and Tear Away coming up, along with the existing lineup of first part games I think it has a great amount of first party stuff. They just need more third party, but even then there are still lots of third party stuff coming out like Super Monkey Ball Touch and Roll, Assassins Creed 3, CoD Black Ops Declassified, Fifa 13 and Need for Speed coming up. The Vita's looking great, it just needs a price drop, along with a memory card price drop. Those things are expensive.

None of those games aside from LBP interest me in the slightest is what I'm saying.

Vita has good games. They just need to land on the shelf sometime.

Still play it on a daily basis, while my 3DS is... seriously looking like a collectible rock. Haven't bought a game since Kid Icarus: Uprising for it. Other than Samurai Warriors Chronicles, I haven't found a game on it that I could play for extensive hours even after finishing it, which is annoying. At the time, it was great, but that's more or less I didn't have a handheld system, so it was more or less bought on a whim without much thought.

The Vita, on the other hand, even if it is struggling in the market, still has the games that I can return to. All trophy whoring aside, I could play Disgaea, UMvC3, Blazblue, WipEout and even things like Stardust Delta and Hustle Kings all day long.

But as I said, the Vita has a lot of titles coming. It's just a matter of waiting for them to hit.

It is too much money, that is the problem. I would rather get a ps3 for a bit more money

Actually, factoring in the recent price cut on the PS3 (think it's just $200 USD now), plus the price of memory cards, you can get a PS3 for a bit cheaper than you can the Vita.

The only thing that can save the Vita is Monster Hunter... And that situation is complicated now...

Or maybe giving it for free, that guarantees a couple millions of sales.

Even there, 3DS has already 2 Monster Hunters so it doesnt help.

Hey if they drop the price to 50 bucks then I'll buy one but if it's more than that, then the money's going towards the Wii U. On second thought, the money's going towards the Wii U even if they drop the price to 50 dollars.

Let's hope for Sony that these upcoming games make sales, or it will certainly be "The Last of THEM" XD Okay, that was a joke, and a very bad one... sorry...

While I hate to see it failing at the moment; I can't help but find at least a little irony in them admitting this when lack of third party support is pretty much the #1 complaint Nintendo get's from the "core" audience.

That's a complaint gamers still make for Nintendo systems that have been available for over a year, the Vita is yet to reach its 1 year anniversary but by that time its sales would have picked up as well as its third-party support; that's my prediction anyway based on the upcoming releases. The Vita already has some very promising third party titles coming out later this year so I don't really see how they are struggling...

This statement is false. The previous statement is true.

RIP in peace Nintendo.

I hope Black Ops Declassified looks good. They didn't show us ANYTHING at E3. Why? It's just stupid. I saw this thing not going to do well. The problem with Sony is, is that they don't really have any system seller games. They just have their own dedicated Sony fans and some core audience that don't care about exclusives


BOD could really have been an 'eye-opener' for a lot of people. How many people would buy a Vita just for a portable COD? Maybe it's just not finished enough.

Although I don't own a vita, I love the PSP and Vita looks cool. I hope they don't die to some stupid phone games. WII U WILL RULE
