Why should neglecting the worlds best handheld be ok? Shouldn't the company that produced the portable keep up on marketing the system so that people actually want the system? Find out why we think Sony doesn't deserve the Vita and why it's like a neglected baby bird.

Look at the stocks, goodbye Japan.
it really is a powerful system by why spend millions to release a handheld and not support it
This is not "i hate sony" thing "and im microsoft fanboy" -talk. I dont own a SINGLE microsoft product so my opinions comes from my over 15 years of Playstation usage and when I feel Vita is really in bad situation i really mean it.
I would have bought a ps vita if it accepted Micro Sd and not proprietary cards. That is what broke the deal for me.
The fact is there are a lot of great PSP and PS1 games available on PSN that can be played on the device.
Even though I can play those games on my PSP, I thought it would be cool to play them on a nicer screen and better feeling controls.
So there's that and as well as a number of cool titles already available.
That said, bad word of mouth seems like it might screw Nintendo this gen unless "gamers" stop squabbling and hating and actually play the great games coming to Wii U.
They're treating the Vita like a crack-baby orphan they thought they aborted with a coat hanger rather than the child prodigy it is.

People need to stop spreading misinformation like this. Misleading people into thinking there is a severe lack of games for the Vita is NOT HELPING! What the hell is wrong with people who say there is nothing to play on the Vita? Why don't they do their research and stop ignoring any Vita game that's not apart of a big name franchise? I can't keep up with all the great Vita games. 2012 alone released enough good Vita games to last me years.
And what's wrong with playing ports and multiplats on the Vita? As long as it's a good port and you don't have it on another system, you might as well get it on the Vita since it's probably cheaper than the console version. Persona 4 Golden is the definitive version of the game and I never played it on the PS2 so it's like a brand new game to me.
What games do you like ?
The first years Vita games have been excellent and put any other consoles first year to total shame. But what people are saying is "somewhat" true.
There havent been enough system selling games. But thats okay because the real sellers come after the first year.
But I will say this: if you dont have a Vita or arent able to get enjoyment out of it, you are not a real gamer as there are lots and lots of great games and apps on Vita right now.
Honestly, it's a damn shame the Vita isn't selling like it should be, advertising or no. Core gamers know what it's about, and there are more than enough of us to give the Vita better sales than it has.
But this generation is more about anything BUT the gaming, which goes directly against the Vita's nature.
Gaming isn't about games anymore; go figure.
I'm not going to deny that Sony needs better advertising but its like the media has found something else to attack, other than the PS3.

To those who think the Vita is overpriced, the 3DS was 350$ at launch. To those who say, it's weak underpowered and pathetic, check out Killzone Mercenary, a game that proves the Vita can handle PS3 ENGINES. And to those who say it has no games in its first year, you've seen my list. The Vita will slowly, but surely, make it's way back to the top of the charts, just like the PSP, and the 3DS, and the Wii, and the PS3
If you look in US, at SCEA-titles, they allready caught up to Nintendo on 3DS with retail-releases (not counting stuff like Escape Plan, Sound Shapes) with one year less on the market.

Sony did a good job, at a fantastic price for what you get.
The third parties on the other hand, hasn't been good at supporting the device - and neither have gamers in general.
But the worst are the media, they seem to dock games automatically 2 points, if they can find a similar experience on consoles.
Media is doing their best to kill the device.
Looking at a game like Vita-Uncharted, easily the best game in it's genre on handhelds - and then looking at it's 80-rating on Metacritic, is ridickolous.
The main strength of the PSP came from 3rd party Japanese developers specifically JRPGs genre and if they ain't making games for the Vita then there are no games that is going to be localized for the English speaking market.
Sony geared the Vita for the western market too much they forgot what made the PSP strong. It kind of worked but it also kind of backfired. So unless Sony gets those 3rd party Japanese devs to make games on the Vita and have a bunch of them localize. Well its going to be a long road ahead.
The PSP is still part of their strategy. They should totally remove it like what Ninty did with the DS.
So there is no incentive for the 3rd party Japanese devs to shift towards the Vita since according to Sony themselves the PSP is still an important market to them.
In my opinion it was a mix message that ended up as a mistake on Sony's part. Sony tried to emulate what they did with the PS2 and PS3 but it did not turn out that way with the transition of PSP to the PSV.
There is so many little issues with this console and it is so powerful (almost like PS3 itself) but there is so little done.
I honestly thought that many PS3 games were coming to Vita but that seems like just a dream... they just managed to put PS1 titles working and now were waiting possibly PS2 support... and PS3 support is coming out in 2017 or so with this kinda of progress.
The first couple months when i got my Vita I actually didnt do anything with it. Just played some demos and thats it. I was waiting for good games come out and guess what I am still waiting... now there is some games but not my type (exclude Assassins creed liberation).
Now I am stuck with other games like AC3, Dead Space, Bioshock and upcoming games in next few months (Last of us etc.) so if some games are coming to Vita my mood to play them are really low.
Like in some article there was saying "Sony lost Vita's momentum" or something like that and THAt IS TRUE! The feeling of the new console and that moment of how great it is, that is gone for me.
I know many compare it to PS3 launch which was disaster, but i think Vita launch is much worse.
Fingers crossed for Vita to survive!!!
