Well, the news has been pretty bad. The hype for the system is subdued compared to before the PSP launch too due in no small part to the weakened Playstation brand.

I'm glad for the CPP for the simple reason that it makes holding the system many times more comfortable. I loved the DS for the games it had but my god actually holding that thing for extended periods of time was terrible. Then there were those stylus heavy games where you hold on to it with one hand. And then there…

The only thing Skyrim did better than New Vegas was the creation of terrible memes.

Did you even read my whole comment? Or did you just stop after seeing "pirating"?

"Hey guys, I'm here to talk about the new game Kingdoms of Amalur."

Just pirate it and find out for yourself. If you're planning to play on consoles don't even bother.

Creation kit? Sure. HD texture pack? No. Why should people thank them for putting in something that should've been there in the first place?

The ones that Sony are hurting with this are the people that actually BOUGHT PSP games instead of pirating them. Sony is sending the message that they don't care about them. They already did this with PS3 and it did nothing but create ill-will. It certainly didn't increase PS3 sales. Lack of BC isn't suddenly going to…

This won't be the sole reason someone doesn't buy a Vita. It will be yet another reason on the CON side of the list that will add up to a person not buying a Vita.

What that? You want good Star Wars game?

Big heads? Large eyes? No nose? And then you have character designs in shoujo manga where they have looooonnnggggg limbs but are ridiculously thin? Sounds more like aliens to me.

How about modding in a better combat system...

You're complaining about furry mods when 2 of the default races are already like that.

That's exactly how it happened. You need to read more comments.

It didn't matter if Steam started awful, Origin isn't competing with Steam at launch. Origin is competing with Steam in 2012. The idea that Origin is somehow new territory is fucking stupid. EA has had a download service for years. They are NOT new to digital distribution.

People were even more excited for the PSP before it launched compared to the hype the Vita has. The PSP was going to drive Nintendo and the DS' gimmick into the ground, mature games like Liberty City would steamroll kiddy games like Mario, and it was so much more powerful and had more features like playing music and…

Launch WINDOW

Japan is notable because that was the region where handhelds ruled and the PSP had some real momentum. It was the PSP's strongest market. Japan was the region where it had an interested consumer base and where Sony still retained strong brand loyalty. Japan actually has developers that are interested in creating good…

Funny because a Metal Gear game and Kingdom Hearts game is coming out for the 3DS soon...

Just because it's a new IP doesn't make it a killer app. Most people aren't going to buy an expensive system when the only games it has are either ports or games they've never heard of. A new game doesn't automatically mean it's a good game either.
