Has Sony made a mistake in launching the PS Vita before 3rd parties had any decent games lined up?
Here is a snippet:
"It is now six months ago that PSVita had its European launch and in this time the flagship Sony handheld has received somewhat mixed publicity thanks in no small part to the slow game releases which have been drip fed rather than being released in vast numbers."
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Aren't you talking about the 3DS at its launch?
Pretty sure the PSVita had around 40 games at launch including 3rd party. Ofcourse, it needs more games to further build up its library, but looking at the titels, it was once of the better console launches compared to others with the games available at launch.
Annnnnnd nothing much since though? It was all launch, not launch window.
It has not been that bad and most PSVITA games are just about to get released.
These are the games that has been released within the launch window.

Valid opinion piece but that's all it is. I'm sure there are plenty of people who are happily busy with their systems while others are clamoring for a constant influx of new content. Bottom line is you will always have naysayers and yaysayers but it usually seems that the naysayers are more vocal. Personally, I'm waiting for some hardware and accessory price reductions before I take the plunge. There are a few titles that will keep me busy for a long time, like Persona 4 Golden and Disgaea 4, and that will hold me over until more stuff comes.
edit: just made some grammer corrections
I think it released too late vs too soon. It is clear the market is getting smaller and consumers are looking to spend money on more diverse devices that provide them more than just games. Sony even ignored the mistakes they made with both the PSP and PSP Go and still repeated some of those mistakes. Their problem isn't games and price but people even know about the device outside of N4G and game sites. They advertised the device for a niche group and more money is going to be spent to now market to an every day person if they can afford it.
