The breadth and depth of available software at the launch of Sony’s PS Vita is superior to any console that has come before it. Sony no doubt observed with great interest the release of Nintendo’s 3DS and the aftermath (price reductions and advanced mascot title releases in Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7) and put extra effort into ensuring they did as much as was possible to avoid such results. A key part of the line-up is FIFA Football Vita, a brand as well known amongst gamers as Call of Duty and something for the casual population as much as the hardcore. More appeal than Sackboy can provide, then.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "This is the sixth entry in a series of articles I’m writing that will look at all of the games available in a particular genre on the Vita. The articles will highlight all Vita-native games, as well as any backwards-compatible PSP and PS1 titles that can be downloaded in English (i.e. from the EU or NA stores), and will include some commentary on how well those games run on Vita and whether they fill any missing gaps in the library."
While America gets a free copy of Gravity Rush from their Amazon, Sony UK is a bit less classy, offering only digital download copies of launch game FIFA Football or the low-price MotorStorm RC in its new bundles. At least a 4G memory card is thrown in for the £239 asking price.

IndustryGamers asked the duo why this deal is so important to Bungie, what it means for fans, and what we should expect for this new IP over the long-term. Here's the full conversation:
