@ThreadShadow Thank you for taking a stand on this issue. You sir have hit the nail on the head.
I just wish I could get my previous question that I posted answered so I can make a well informed decision on my families continued support or non-support of Sony.
I want 3 new vita games to be announced and that is being conservative : ) I will not get my hopes too high after that e3 debacle....wonderbook for 15 minutes while I was having a stroke.
@Splat Don't give bethesda your money. You would not purchase food from a restaurant that burnt all of their meals because the cook does not know what he is doing. Why purchase a game from a company that does not know how to program.
Xbox 360 was first but there is a landfill full of original xbox 360 with the RROD so he has a very valid point. I heard Microsoft say they are number one in console sales during their press conference but it is because everybody had to purchase two or more console over the 360 lifespan.
Absolutley poor business decision. They could have at least said during the conference that they will host a special online vita press conference to show off the games coming out this year and beyond. However, Nintendo had already said they were doing that so it would have been very strategic for Sony to push the Vita to the moon during their press conference and attempt to create a buzz and steal some market share. I mean Gravity Rush is unique and coming out next week in NA so why would you not mention that????
6 psp games and 500 coming soon...what is there to get excited about? After reading the headline, I thought almost all had been made compatible. They better be coming.
I am out of the loop. I have this game but there is no MP so why is it connecting to the internet? Is there a problem with downloading the trophy information from the SEN?
Glad I got all of my PSP games traded in...will the stores that are still carrying the PSP still continue to accept trade-ins on PSP hardware/software?
@Slapshot You are dead on. If my wife is watching the tv or playing animal crossing city folk and I want to be playing a full blown console game in portable format sony is definately catering to me. Now I have more than just hour to play with my friends on nights and weekends after work. Nintendo seems to have figured this out with the wii u via marketing research and focus groups. the average age of a gamer is 40 years old. The people who grew up with videogames and time to play them cannot enjoy their hobby as much as they use to due to time/family commitments. I will probably get lambasted by saying this but I traded in my PS3 and all games last friday. I loved the system (except for constant installs and updates) but I very very rarely got to play it. I can hop on my vita at almost anytime and play. I know there will be somebody who will say I could have used the remote play feature when it becomes available but I am not going to sit around and hold my breath waiting on that..it is a great idea but I think sony knows it would canabalize their sales on games...so i do not see them doing this update. If they do then oh well I have $500+ worth of trade in credit now to just purchase upcoming vita games with on day one. that is a risk I am willing to take. I also believe that the reason PC gaming has become so popular is due to the fact that most people who want to play but not take up the tv can just hop on their laptop and play in any room. I never considered Pc gaming until I got married and then I discovered that it great because I could play anytime, introduced me to new franchises/genres, and it was extremely cheap. It is an interesting time in the industry right now and the vita is on the right track.
Why can't I just stream "the pulse".....like the nintendo show on 3ds? I don't want to spend 30 minutes downloading a 7 minute video. Come on sony that would be a cost effective promotional tool.
@Yankeejer I appreciate your viewpoint however I just prefer my strategy games to be on handhelds. (advance wars, VC II, Jeanne D'arc, Fire Emblem, Field Commander) They just seem to fit a handheld system better.....plus the wife takes up the tv alot playing Animal Crossing : )
Thank goodness somebody mentioned Enslaved.It never got the respect it deserved.
Same thing with Valkyria Chronicles. I personally believe that its better suited for a handheld system which is why I am hoping that Valkyria Chronicles 3 comes out on the Vita.
You forgot the bargain bin beauty known as Folklore.

Re: That Rainbow PS4 Raised a Truckload of Money for Charity
So did Sony have anything to do with this console design or was it a third party?

Re: Looks Like That Super Slim PS3 Is Totally Real After All
If they leave it where you can install your own capacity hardrive the 16 GB would likely be a steal.
