Should Vita Owners Be Worried?

After the PS Vita’s U.S. launch in February, sales of the system have been slow… The situation has been not unlike the 3DS’ first 6 months on the market last year. Each console came out the gate strong (albeit, the 3DS came out stronger) and sales quickly tapered off due to the high price of the hardware and a lack of compelling software. The difference now is how each company has chosen to handle the situation.

why should I be worried? I find that a very odd point of view. I have my Vita and I'm happy with the games on it... in what scenario should I 'worry'?

[Optical_Matrix]

Gravity Rush
Sly Cooper Thieves in Time
PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale
New Little Kings Story
Persona 4 Golden
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Jet Set Radio
Soul Sacrifice
Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation

Yeah, no. I'm not worried. At least as to whats coming in 2012. 2013 I'm worried for though. But theres still 6 months left of this year. Plenty of time to announce 2013 software beyond Dragons Crown. Considering I have a PS3, 360, 3DS and Wii (soon to be Wii U) to buy for currently as well, I think thats enough Vita games to keep me entertained for a while.

Check out the article, I think there's a lot of good stuff coming to the Vita. I just think Sony is blowing it when it comes to properly showing them off.

[ginsunuva]

It's almost as if they're ashamed that there are so many good games coming to Vita, but they want to hide it.

I own one and am not worried. Just waiting for stellar ips. Just as I did with my ps3. I waited. I had my 360 to hold me until better games released. Now I have a ps3 360 pc and vita so if one lags behind I have numerous options.

[RioKing]

^Exactly. My ps3 pretty much collected dust for the first year or so that I owned it, and then BOOM went the dynamite!

I've never looked back since :)

[Sanquine90]

Yes , i agree with the article. We should not be worried. However , sony should advertise the vita. My friends think it is a psp... Stupids. Then i show them uncharted and fifa 12 and they all start screaming LOL

[MasterCornholio]

Yep you should have seen the face of this girl sitting next to me playing angry birds while i was playing Mortal Kombat Vita. I didnt know if she was amazed by the thing or disgusted by the violence because her face was a mix of both.

LOL Vita is awesome and theres plenty to play on it with more great games to come.

For example this month im planning on getting OddWorld Strangers Wrath, Gravity Daze and hopefully PSX games.

P.S Im really curious about the Metal Gear Solid HD collection because if they sell it for 30€ i will probably get it as well.

[Sanquine90]

My girlfriends steals my vita because she loves rayman!

[GirlyGamer]

The guy sitting next to me said he wanted to buy a vita so i brought mine to school to show him. He looked like he was afraid to touch it :p Poor guy

Anyways.... I'm not worried and Yay for Gravity Rush next week!!

[Sanquine90]

LOL , i sometimes wear gloves. I hate it when my screen is full of fingerprints. Add me: sanquine90
@mastercornholio :) Please add me! I love to have more friends.

TBH: Gravity rush , metal gear solid and ofcourse Oddworld strangers wrtath. However , i am waiting desperately waiting for ragnarok oddysey and soul sacrifice

[Tired]

no...next question

[Fyflin]

You could say the same about pretty much any hardware launch to be honest, especially Sony's own PS3. It takes time, the PS3 was pretty barren until Metal Gear hit, it's going to be the same with the Vita.

Let's just be patient and give it another 6 month to find its feet. Everyone wrote the 3DS off, look at it now.

[Viper7]

When it comes to PS Vita, I am more worried about TGS than E3. Most of my PSP and DS games are from Japanese developers after all.

[isntchrisl]

Good point. Although Nintendo was able to show off several Japanese games yesterday. But yeah, Japanese devs pretty much control handheld gaming.

[smashcrashbash]

Let's see 30 new games on the E3floor plus PS1 games playable on it not to mention cross play and all the games mentioned even before E3. Why should we be worried? The VITA with the 26 games we already have we are getting 30 more. That is 56 games plus all the PSP, PS1, PSN games taht play on it.

[Bell Boy]

I am worried!!!

Worried that my wallet will keep up with all the games that will begin to drop.

I am in LBP Beta and that game alone is worth Vita entry price. I would go as far as saying I enjoy it more on Vita than PS3 (I have plat on 1 and 2 and love them)

Then for me Assasins Creed, PS All Stars and that's off the top of my head and between a shed load of PS3 games I want.

Good times to be a gamer..

[Soldierone]

I have a smartphone, and love my Vita....honestly haven't really downloaded or played anything on my phone for a while, but have touched my Vita almost every day.....

If you like smartphone "games" then stick with that. If you want to shell out money for real games, then get a Vita.

[Hicken]

I'm not worried. I'm excited.

[DivineAssault]

exact opposite.. Theres over 10 games coming that i would buy the system all over again just to play.. Should 3DS be worried about getting M rated games?

[klecser]

This exact same conversation was happening a year ago with the 3DS, with Nintendo fans saying the exact same things that Sony fans are saying here. The only difference was that it was filled with sony fanboys telling me that the 3DS sucked and that I should die. I'll be the bigger man here and not do that.
