Ben Parfitt: ''Third parties, as well as Sony itself, must take responsibility for elevating the PlayStation Vita out of its current rut.
That’s the opinion of Sony’s CFO, executive VP and corporate executive officer Masaru Kato, who told investors (as reported by Seeking Alpha): “One thing clear for us that in terms of profitability – we have to do a better job in promoting the PlayStation Vita mobile product.''

Oh yea letme see, uhm..... The 3DS is a videogame Handheld device, Vita is a Videogame handheld device.......but they have nothing to do with each other?
This has been apparent for months and it's the reason I still don't have a Vita, I can understand a lot of people are quite happy with the current library but it's not nearly varied enough to entice myself let alone many more Vita adopters.
I was expecting a lot more interesting and original IP's hitting the Vita, but for the most part it has ports of popular PS3 franchises that I personally don't care for.
Im a niche gamer... I know that, but handhelds are where the niche market is supposed to thrive yet there are very little of them on the Vita right now.
"Niches" lol i haven't heard that word in a decade and btw our black people is not that delicate like in the US that get mad if u use the N word o whatever word u use in the US. I'm not making fun of nobody ok

LOL!
Publishers: Sony should of made the PS Vita with a Cell Phone feature and more people would buy it thus making it more Attractive to make games for.
@ 4.1m that is just NOT worth a publishers time!
Apple Samsung Nokia and HTC EACH sale 4m cell phones a month thus making Android and iOS games a more profitable investment than the PS Vita!
Only a Cell phone feature can save the PS Vita, other than that the PS Vita although a great platform, is dead in the water!
Kill the VITA brand and release the PSP2 and add 3D, not sure why Sony did not push for 3D in the first place since they were pushing 3D hard pm the PS3.
Also why kill the PSP brand and call in VITA, that a horrible name for a handheld.
The other day a friend of mine who is not a hardcore gamer asked when Sony was going to release the PSP2 and I told her that Sony already did but its called the VITA and she looked at me like I had snot on my nose.
Since that the only way its going to happen.
For NA: drop the price, build or include 8 GB storage. NA is the strongest Vita market so whatever they're doing seems to be working best here. NA also needs more Japanese games, since there are actually tonnes of them in the East, only none that are localized.
I have been dying for a MH game on the Vita. One of the biggest reasons I got it was because I saw MH being played on it.
why the disagrees?
@count lol! i dont "expect it, i wanted to see it lol.
It's one thing to be hopeful about something, it's another to be ridiculous.
LOL! Good one, man!

....wait....you're serious? 4K on that screen?
You know what? Vita does not need 4K resolution because Vita has a small screen (much smaller than TV), even 1080p would be a overkill, 1080p is recommended for 22-24" screens official but ofc 1080p and 4K/UHD is going to look better on smaller screens. You need to think more realistic....
Here, list of real time rendering resolutions for Sony/MS/Nintendo desktop HD consoles (Vita included too):

demonstrate the vita as a ps4 controller on feb 20th
this is the ONLY way you are going to sell these things fast
no one is intrested in handhelds anymore (personally i am, i own a ds and will get a vita, but the general public can care less about handhelds)
phones and tablets, the vita is neither, a bundle is the only way out of this for you sony, trust me.
as a conroller
it needs way more games
and indeed... read the article
That way we can have more cross save features, and above all else let Vita owners play the same online game.
Sony should keep all their Vita port studios, and make a deal with third parties. Sony can make the game on Vita, keep enough profits to pay the studio and marketing, then the third party keeps the rest. Sony will make profits by selling more Vita's, and third parties make money for not doing anything really.
Ridiculous
Im a Sony fan but they left much to be desired with the Vita.
Use sony London to make a GTA vita, need for speed, use sony japon to make FF vita, resident evil, demons souls use new devs to help third party to make their ip for the vita in a cheap way without bothering them!
Why did they destroyed Zipper team?
They could have made a better COD by now for the vita, a better resistance, a battlefield 3 vita.
Everyone needs to remember the 16GB psp cards were almost 100 buck with tax for the 1st 18months of their life cycle, until they were getting used in many other Sony products(camera, video camera, etc) and then other companies started making them, then there price went down
Would I like for it to be cheaper? Hell yeah. I don't wanna drop a hundred to get a 32GB card.
But am I gonna whine about it every five minutes like it never happened before? Nope.
I want more games; I'm a gamer, though. I always do. I'm not stupid enough to look at the current library, however, and say there's nothing there. And I can't really understand why developers aren't jumping at the chance to develop for such a powerful handheld.
Sony should do the same and give incentives to 3rd party devs to make games on the Vita. The successor should not be held back by its predecessor.
Sony really needs to get those Japanese developers on the Vita because even multiplatform games are still being released on the PSP and not on the PSV in the Land of the Rising Sun.
More on topic I do agree some good software is whats really going to push the vita off the shelves and they def need better advertising. However some great titles are slated to come out this year. As long as we dont get any more sloppy slapped together games like CODdeclassified and actually get some games that show the hardware off is what will get people excited to own one.
Mine sits here running old psp games. that is about it. worst investment ever and sadly they are going to make it a ps4 buddy type system. I dont want ps4 lol so im stuck with something that as of a yr has nothing that interests me. time will tell
