Doesn't look like much of anything we didn't already know about. I want a vita for gravity rush, and was waiting to see what else they had to show me.....but this list does not interest me much. Maybe I'd care more if I didn't own a PS3 and have access to 40% of these games already

So you purchased the vita not anticipating any spin-offs, ports, sequels, or cross platform titles?
I would like to think people are joking now.
Take for instance wipeout. Wipeout 2048 is for the vita . Sure it can be played in the PS3 but outside of a desire to play alongside vita gamers why in earth would you, when HD/Fury is available for the PS3.
It is either your a fan of existing franchises or your not but complaining about 10 brand new IP for a console that has been out less than 6 months in western regions is simply ridiculous.

Hahaha seriously. Right now 225 Euro at Amazon.de for PS Vita with an incredible 5 Inch AMOLED screen, Quadcore CPU and Quadcore GPU. And 8 GB memory card and 15 Euro discount on choosen titles. Try to get a smart phone with these specs for this price - it would cost at least twice this price.
With upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed: Liberation, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassifed, Gravity Daze, LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet Karting, FIFA 13, Madden NFL 13, Street Fighter X Tekken, we will have some great games this year. And there are even more planned, Sony says there are 60 (!) new titles coming out this year, and there are rumors about games like Ghost Recon, Medal of Honor and Killzone.
And there are already really good games like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Wipeout 2048, Rayman Origins, FIFA and more out there. PS Vita will be fine

who the fuck did these companies have set up their conferences? It's like none of them knew what the hell they were doing.

Those statements are usually formed by a combination of looking at hardware and software sales. Software continued to sell at a healthy rate for the PSP in Japan even discounting Monster Hunter while software sales completely collapses everywhere else. Also it's wise not to forget the piracy element, one of the bigger elephants in the room regarding PSP sales. Hell, that applies almost as much to the DS thinking about it.
Nevertheless, all things considered, the PSP was a solid attempt at carving a niche in the handheld market. That the Vita is currently doing significantly worse than the PSP EVER did is a major cause for concern.

All those games I would love to play on the Vita. but not at $250+$20 memory card & at $40 each. Their pricing scheme is out of wack.
Bolded are the games I'm definitely buying. Pretty happy with the upcoming year's lineup.

Spin-Offs - Absolutely, Cross Platform - Yep, but really was hoping for new IP's that were catered to the VITA and only VITA
Only 6 are in the US, 4 are still in JP and are in limbo to come here
I checked my gifs. I don't have an appropriate one. So I chose this instead:
Yeah the tag for that is Sony I said "we need to CATCH UP!"

I was toying with the idea of getting a Vita if Sony had something good to show this E3, but man.. that list. Out of the seven Vita games that interest me (Sly, MGS HD, Lego LOTR, NFS: MW, PSASBR, Soul Sacrifice and Uncharted: GA), five are available on PS3, and I'm not gonna pony up $250 just to play Uncharted and SS :|

But this is honestly where they fucked up. The Vita's design is honestly cumbersome for a portability standpoint, it should have had basically the same form factor as the PSP Go (perhaps just a smidgen larger) and it should have two skus. A cheap (so under $199) barebones gaming handheld that takes out most of the excessive stuff (3G, GPS, etc) and another with all the bells and whistles in the form of a phone, subsidized through a contract.
Yes if you compare it to a phone the specs are great and you're getting good value. The problem is it's not a phone. And not just on the it doesn't do calls thing, it doesn't have the same usability that a device with Android has, obviously not even close.
NFS:MW isn't even on that list. It isn't a complete list of all upcoming Vita games, it's just the games that will be shown in some form by Sony at E3.
Earth Defense Force 3, Sine Mora, NFS:MW, etc. aren't on there.

Games I'm getting. That's not including EDF3. I'm pleased with the Vita lineup. Sony shouldn't be ashamed of it. I'll probably grab Most Wanted over the console version too.

That list is friggin' great. I will buy Assassin's Creed: Liberation, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassifed, FIFA 13 or Madden NFL 13, Gravity Rush, LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet Karting, Street Fighter X Tekken, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Rayman Origins, Wipeout 2048, Little Deviants and more. That's at least 12 excellent games which will cost me over 300 Euro, and there will be even more. I absolutely fail to see how this is a bad list of games.

Yep, I'm convinced. Buying a Vita tomorrow.
The ones bolded I'm definitely buying, the ones underlined are a maybe (why would people care about HD graphics on a lego game? it seems to be best suited on a handheld) and the ones with the arrow I haven't seen a single screen or video of it so I can't judge.
I guess the Vita is a great handheld for me.

Those memory sticks weren't only for the PSP though and third parties made them too. I took the memory card out of my digital camera at the time and put it in my PSP.
Look at software charts then come back and tell me where the PSP was the most popular.
Actually those prices I gave were from Sandisk, not Sony. I remember buying a 128mb stick (or was it 256? could be one or the other) at $99 lol

First post, best post.
Getting these for definite, this year seems alright, what really worries me if there will be solid dev support for next year and beyond and I'm really doubtful. I don't give a shit about a portable killzone or god of war, sony needs to get this thing to light up the japanese charts and get some solid dev support.

They weren't proprietary nor required for games to boot and could be had for pretty cheap. Again, I pulled mine out of my camera.

I don't think a price cut is necessary if they make better games for it. Gaming is an expensive hobby people. If you want a cheaper hobby try running or something.

So much for getting a Vita any time soon.
Not everyone had a Sony camera and SD cards were cheaper and more available to the public since more tech used it. Just because you could pull it out of your camera, doesn't mean everyone could. They were required if you wanted to actually pass a game. Sure you could always put it in sleep mode but the PSP's battery life was pretty bad, so if it dies, you're out of luck. No sane man buys a console without it having internal memory or a external memory.

Have they said how much the bundles will be? Like Assassin Creed bundle and stuff that was shown for Vita?
The Vita is a template for everything wrong with Sony. You can't just throw out powerful hardware and let it languish in the market. Nintendo learned the hard way that a $250 handheld in this new competitive landscape doesn't work. It's not like when the PSP launched and there were no multi-touch smartphones. Sony priced themselves out of the market, which has lead to a dearth of 3rd party games, which will lead to even worse sales in the future. They're only chance is the drop the price, timed with great software. Considering their current financial situation, I don't think they can afford it and the software just isn't there. Sorry, but console spinoffs aren't going to move units as much as people think they are.

Why do the specs matter? We've been gaming for some 30 years now and time and time again it's never the best specs that get the best sales... in the scope of what is important to the consumer, the specs of the system don't matter at all as long as they're "good enough" to play the games the consume wants to play.
Would two inches of screen space really bump up the price that much?
Specs matter to a lot of people, look at the Master Race: PC Gamers. Different companies are trying to grab different types of people, Nintendo is obviously going more for the casual gamers and the nostalgia gamers who love mario and zelda while Sony is going for the more hardcore side, while MS is now trying to grab both. Most hardcore gamers want eye candy graphics and they can't get it if the specs are crap.

Pretty much.
At this point it's pretty clear Sony's not concerned about the current performance of the Vita. They didn't make it the focal point of their presser, they announced a dearth of new games for it, and don't care about a price drop. All signs point to Sony not giving a fuck about propping up the Vita to a higher plane of sales.
I dunno. They (hilariously) predicted 10 million Vitas shipped this year, you have to figure something is causing Sony these delusions that everything is fine and good.
Haha, so true.
