Sony's treatment of the Vita (I suppose SCEA..) is a glaring issue that has partially caused me, as a Playstation fan for 20 years, to not jump on board the PS4 bandwagon, and may never will. Such a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't think there was anything they could have ever done to match the PSP's success - the market has changed too much for that. But a taco bell campaign and an abysmal "play your MLB game anywhere!" commercial was about all the mainstream marketing it got. They give us a joke of COD, slapped together without a care in the world, a choppy Borderlands 2 port at least 2 years too late, stuck to their guns on memory card prices, and basically said "Fuck it we hate this thing and want this to die. Don't bundle Minecraft!"
Thankfully there has been some solid indie and Japanese localization support. I rank it up there with Dreamcast, and will look back at it just as fondly, if not more, a decade from now.
