"The PS Vita has an incredible launch lineup, probably the best we've seen in the past many generations. Being just a day away from release in Japan and a few months in western markets, hype for the system and its game is at an all time high. But the launch lineup isn't the only thing where it's at- throughout the year- and beyond- the system will be getting a slew of great releases. Listing just ten out of so many of them is a tough job, but we've done it nonetheless."
While the PS Vita will go down as a commercial failure, its prospects weren’t that bad when it was announced. Yes, smartphone gaming was getting bigger at the time, but Sony matched the price of the Nintendo 3DS with a much more powerful machine, and the PSP had been hugely successful, selling over 80 million units.
But everything changed when Monster Hunter 4 was announced as a Nintendo 3DS exclusive.
I never liked the analog sticks of the vita. Plus, people wanted more bang for their buck, cross play titles with ps4, not spinoffs
I thought I'd like the analogue sticks more than I did. They were better than the PSP stick but not by much. The Switch has a decent pair of sticks but still could be better.
Well, Vita had a lot of exclusives after launch, but nobody bought them, and gaming media had it in for them too.
Unit 13 - I enjoyed it. Not amazing, but still decent.
Gravity Rush / Daze - This one got some credit.
Uncharted Vita - Again, a decent game. Was it as good as the console games? No, but that's hardly apples to apples is it?
Soul Sacrifice - Only played a bit, but quite well regarded.
Oboro Muramasa - Great
There's a few exclusives.

Cant wait to see Dead Space at E3. That game is going to be perfect for the Vita.

Final Fantasy X is going to be amazing on the Vita! It, along with FF IX, is my favorite in the series so I'm super pumped to have the game portable. 2012 is going to be the year of the Vita for me. So many games I'm planning on buying.
I might get Gravity Rush.
As good as I know many of the games out- and soon to be out- are, the only game I'll be playing when I get my Vita is Gravity Rush.
