It's true. Not only that, with the PS3 at least I always felt like Sony had confidence in the future of the platform. I don't feel that way about the Vita, especially after E3.
It's really SCEA. This is Sony's Saturn.

Ugh. I just don't want it to be true, Takao, I just don't want it to be true.
The only thing I would say is that for dedicated portable gaming to succeed, Vita and 3DS need to succeed. Otherwise, the portable industry will likely shift towards the Gameloft and Zyngas of the world and major publishers like EA and Activision would shift resources into iOS and Android dev. I don't want to see that.
I just want a GT game out of them and I'll be set. No regrets.
Lucky for you SCEA doesn't make GT games.
I can't see how the Vita's existence would change that in any way.
I can't believe they couldn't get Square to put out a legitimate FF game for this or PSP
I mean, what are the AAA titles on Vita that aren't ports/remakes that can sell the system?
- Uncharted
- Gravity Rush
- Assassin's Creed
Not good enough. I love the system but this is looking like Dreamcast so far (not Saturn lol). At least the PSP library helps a bit

Crisis Core and Type-0 are probably the biggest Final Fantasy spinoffs in history...
Hardly. Sega shafted third parties right from the beginning by launching before the scheduled date. This alienated third parties and retailers. Compare that to the Vita, who had an amazing amount of third party titles available day one.
They got Type-0 on PSP, there has never been a more legitimate handheld Final Fantasy.

If by legitimate FF you mean a new numbered FF, then that won't happen. Square has said that those are made for consoles.
At least you'll have NSMB 3DU2-2
Damn. That's cold.
I really want to start going full digital, but it's so hard. So very hard when all these deals keep on flying left, right and center, and the only incentive I have to go digital is to have the game on my card. The price is exorbitant, I will likely not get it until the night of the release, or even the next day, and it's a bitch to download. Tell me- why does Sony not want me to go digital?

What's your definition of legitimate? The PSP got:
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Dissidia: Final Fantasy
Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
Final Fantasy Type-0
You're not going to get a mainline Final Fantasy game for a portable system anytime soon.

Oh man, poor Katamari is at the BOTTOM?!! The little prince deserves so much better.
Change what? The transition to smartphone gaming? I don't think Nintendo by themselves can sway publishers to keep in the dedicated handheld business considering a majority of sales on their devices are Nintendo published.
Is that even going to get a US release? And would Sony let them sell it as a Vita game?
I'd take that over Farmville: "Let's build a farm again" or Nova 2020
On the same period of time? I don't think so.

I know it looks like gloom and doom but I think this holiday can be very strong for the Vita. There are alot of great games coming out later this year and if SCEA gives it a little marketing push it could sell pretty well imo.
Apparently they've said they're working on a Western release. It's certainly the grandest portable Final Fantasy they've built, they won't let it sit on the shelf forever. How it comes over though, no idea. Porting from PSP to Vita is apparently very easy, I wouldn't be surprised to see it. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised to see it go to the 3DS either.

wow @ all this doom and gloom. You guys must really want me to sell my vita huh?
It's that time of the month. It comes and goes. Excellent list by Shinriji. This puts things in perspective.
I am actually very excited for the Vita's future. Sony aren't going to abandon it, it's going to keep getting some kooky Japanese games, the 3DS is horrible, so it's not like I have some awesome alternative.
I went in knowing third party support will probably never materialize. It's not going to stop it being a cool little toy.

He's referring to the American arms of both companies practically sabotaging the respective consoles.
If I'm Square-Enix, I don't want to release it as download only cos that won't sell as much. And PSP only seems like a money-loser too. Would Sony let them sell a ported PSP game as a Vita title? Not that they can afford to be picky right now lol

I just want P4: The Golden so bad.
If it's ported, not just via BC, yeah. Sony don't have a publishing rule about content originating on Vita. You can release the same game on both platforms at once in fact.
Yep.
I agree that SCEA has been inferior in comparison to SCEE but as a Saturn owner back in the day .. it strikes the wrong chord with me
Sorry guys ..You're crying about Katamari? What about Disgaea, and Virtua Tennis? They're not even on that list.
According to Kagari SQenix is thinking about releasing it on Vita. Thinking about it...
I don't know why SCEJ hasn't announced a GT for Vita. Gran Turismo for PSP took ages to come out and wasn't very well received yet sold millions.

Well, I bought Persona, Persona 2 and Persona 3, so... I'm good until Sound Shapes and Ragnarok come out.
They're probably holding it back for one of the upcoming conferences. The PS3 isn't going to get anything else with the PS4 on the horizon, so Sony has two major conferences to tackle, GT Vita will probably show up at one of them.
I suspect Sony and partners will find/learn that mobile gaming is as important as living room gaming in the near future. ^_^
They may or may not realize this just yet, but the landscape is shifting rather quickly.
Yeah... I lost all but one of my favorite retail game cartridges already, so I know the pain ! >8^/
EDIT:
I'm more curious in your avatars. They seem to change every few days to different girls. Are you a photographer ?

Regardless of my somewhat skeptical view of Vita's future the system is still awesome and totally worth the purchase purely based on the games that are already available for it (not to mention the great library of PSP games). Plus, there will at least be some good games for the Vita in the future, even if that future turns out to be a rough one.
Not so soon I think. My personal expectation is no earlier than August 2012. May be TGS or later ?

I think I read/heard somewhere that it was mid-to-late August.

Y'know, after the 3DS price drop fiasco, I'm not about to pull the trigger yet on Vita (I want one but I've waited this long); so long as it's not something where there's a rumour of a Vita 2.0 coming to market, I'd bite as soon as the price drop hit.

It just looks like a decent MH style game from what I have seen with different classes.
I would gladly play it.
I think because of the poor E3 doubts are high, but you could look at Nintendo WiiU and say the same thing. Now with more hands on coming out and it's launch lineup shown, people are coming around.
Hopefully Sony will continue to focus on this device because it really has potential.
People are just starved for anything close to an RPG with Vita graphics lol. I'll be waiting for P4G myself
Yeah, there is a rumored major update in August.
That's not true. Sony is developing the whole PS Suite thing for those super-cheap games (and more), they have PS Minis already, they have PSN games that can be more expensive than Minis and they've got, like, 3 tiers of retail release pricings (29.99, 39.99 and 49.99$).
