Sony is in a less-than-desirable position right now, as outlined in a recent New York Times piece. Vita not exploding out of the gate is relatively low on the list of problems for the company, which hasn't turned a profit in years. But with new president and CEO Kaz Hirai recently pronouncing gaming as one of the pillars upon which Sony will turn things around, bigger things have to be expected from Vita. A middling success (if it can be called that) is not enough.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has received a bunch of new DLC, including two new gameplay modes, for free.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
The vita doesn't need a price drop. It's well worth the price it cost now. The vita is selling fine now and sales will pick up as new quality games are released throughout the year
So far only Uncharted: GA is doing all the work in western territories. Wip3out does follow a strong suit but we need to get games like Gravity Rush and other unique quality titles to push the system further.
A price-cut would kill the Vita as SONY is barely making a profit with the current price. Blame Nintendo for over-pricing it's hardware from the start creating a false sense of "value" when the price-cut merely cut the bonus of what the system is worth. This is not the same case for the Vita.
That and the mandatory use of the memory-sticks will turn off some potential customers.
no need for a price cut. i think the perfect time to do it would be in the fall/winter of this year though.
it just needs games right now.
the biggest problem that i think most would agree though is the cost of those memory cards, they're just a bit too expensive.
Need many AAA games.....and maybe!!little price cut.
Absolutely no point in cutting the price any time soon. If they did they would
A - lose money
B - still wont catch nintendo (for the people who care all about sales)
c - cant keep up with a price war with nintendo because the vita costs more
make the price way below cost is done to become a loss leader they cant do that in this case they would just have a loss, no way they could catch a year ahead 3ds that is way cheaper to make.
