There has been a lot of controversy about the PlayStation Vita lately. Some complain about the lack of big titles, while others are quite happy with all of the indie games the Vita has been getting. So what should we expect this year from the PlayStation Vita?…

Nintendo has done a great job at separating the Wii and now the Wii U from the 3DS. Sony has aligned the Vita with the PS3 which is a good idea but may fail to capitalize in the long run.
While I agree with most of your speculation just one thing, the PS3 hasn't outsold the 360 all the evidence and figures reported suggest otherwise. But hey I guess some people still believe the world is flat so this is hardly surprising that people believe the PS3 has outsold the 360.
Although if I want to try and be objective I would say due to the early 360 failure rate the PS3 has more unique owners. But again this it just speculation from a purely factual bases the PS3 hasn't outsold the 360.
One could argue as well that the PS3 has sold more pre year, but again changing the bar doesn't change the fact the PS3 simply hasn't outsold the 360 well according to the data anyway.
Lol, nervous much?
people say Destination Playstation is not about showing new games but i think PSvita needs more time to shine before the ps4 gets unveiled at E3 2014 so i think that could be a good place to show one or two new unannounced vita games.
anyways i think the best is yet to come.
A price drop in the near future might do some good, though.
Chances are the PS4 just like the PS3 will work with the PS Vita considering how long it's lifespan is set for it's obvious already on their mind.
Maybe that is exactly why there isn't much PS3 and PS Vita support now, maybe they are holding out. I mean if they wanted to compete with the Wii U it would be a smart move to invest more with the PS Vita and PS4 than the PS3 right now.
Just speculating though but I know Sony will for sure have support across both the PS Vita and PS4 there is no doubt about that, especially when Gaikai gets up and running.
Really excited to see what they do with Gaiaki altogether.
Sony has its own games, but Sony isnt Nintendo in that they of the 3 are the most versitale. They could easily pay key third party for key selling ips to appear on their platform. For example, if were them i would have gone to Capcom and make a deal that would see the vita launching with a monster hunter. This move alone, could have change the perception of the device and many other publishers would likely react and follow.
Its how this industry works.
Now as for fillers, you only need to look at your rival and see what strategies work. Nintendo is noctorious for reusing older ips, and that for the most part works.
So instead of making multiplats out of ps3 exclusives, simply take a dive to the past and assemble a small studio dedicated to bringing ps2 classics in HD with trophies exclusively to the vita. Personally i would target the top 20 rpgs to ever grace that platform; the proof is there. Just look at persona4 golden, now imagine what those other games would do for this platform.
But again, Sony seems to spread itself thin with too many platforms. I mean kill the psp already, so the support shifts. There is no need for a psp, vita is psp and much more.
Vita needs a solid stream of exclusives, good and decent exclusives. No cheap attempts like declassified or resistance.
More gravity rush, more filler ups like persona4 golden and yes good third party exclusives. Man, i would love to see resident evil or Dragonquest or even a FF remake of their own like the DS had.
And i get it, 1st party stuff is good and costly. But sometimes is worth looking outside and see what could potentially help you move units to help you gain traction in a very rough market.
And while the indie stuff is appreciated and helps the industry grow. I think if Sony really wants Playstation mobile to be a success they need to make it more part of what makes psn grow than go with the idea of making mini games that can be played elsewhere. And what i mean by this is simple; leaderboards, trophies and those fundamentals that make Playstation games stand out. You address this and ps mobile wont be just another tab on the ps store thats for sure.
Now firmware updates is another issue for another topic but...
its all i am saying.
A lot of people here said to give it a year but even that didn't help.
Then of course there's Vita's biggest advantage, in that it can get a real console quality port, thus meaning for relatively little money publishers can produce another game for release, and serve another part of the market, hopefully making them money.
In addition, the Vita is a way to produce a console quality title without the console price-tag. This can be a big plus to smaller studios, who may not have the ability to license for console, but want to ship a high-quality product.
6 million isn't a small number though, and some developers see that many of those people are looking for a game to buy on the system. I still kind of feel the Vita's software is in that launch window phase, where good (or even bad) titles will sell because people are hungry for it. There have been quite a few great games released on the system to date, much more than the PSP had in it's first year. I believe 2013 will be much the same though, with great titles being released, and people will keep denying that it has games worth playing.
One thing for sure Sony is supporting the system a lot more than they did with the PSP. The 1st party titles on the way look promising & there are probably more in the works that we do not know of.
Something Sony needs to look at is trying to lure developers mainly in Japan away from the PSP & focus their development on the Vita. Although with every PSP sold Sony is making a profit, it is hampering the growth of the Vita in Japan.
There is untapped potential in the Vita that a lot of people are unaware of cause of their infatuation with iOS games. Once people realize that the Vita has the making to be everything a person wants in a gaming device due to its ability to evolve (firmwares etc.) they will see the value of the system.
this is so true, let the psp die, also for someone like me who owns a vita, i keep seeing games i want being released in japan for the psp, then NA gets them through the PSN, sorry but i dont want a digital verison of the game
Ive bought several games for the vita but they really need to push the app style to get a little more buzz.
This is the list of games, that 3DS had to offer by the end of it's first year

and this is the list for PSV

Gamewise PSV doing really great. And also has one of the best 1st party support. I'm playing mine practically every day since the purchise in early spring.
