"For the first time in months, I finally turned on my sexy piece of plastic the other day and played a game after the expected painstakingly long update. Playing the game felt good, very good. The game was Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. It’s a great game, but I didn’t buy it on the PS Vita. See, I bought it for the PS3 and received a copy for the PS Vita for free via a Cross-Buy promotion. Seeing that I was able to get the same game twice for the price of one (technically less, but you get the idea) was what ultimately drove my purchasing decision. This got me thinking: Could Cross-Buy be the savior the PS Vita is in dire need of?"

INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
Cross-Buy is certainly a nice feature. Hell, I plan on getting that deal with Sly 4. But it shouldn't be the point of the system. Before you throw perks like that onto your platform, it should be able to stand strongly on its own legs with some exclusive software.
I can't stress this enough, more games like Gravity Rush and Tearaway, perhaps a quality Ratchet/Jak game and other such ideas.
The reason I say this is because of the 3DS. It wasn't enough to just have two N64 remakes. It needed newer content; Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Resident Evil and Kid Icarus were big ones around that time.
Couple those games with a price drop and now the 3DS is consistently beating out all other platforms. The Vita can do exactly the same thing in performance with the right push. The hardware is damn good enough and deserving of that.
No,people want exclusive quality PSV software.
Sony u can't half ass something,like Gearbox's Randy Pitchford said Nintendo went all in with dual screen technology and got lag down to almost zero ? cross play will make it worse because it will seem like an after thought,if they did cross play with ps4 then were talking.
