I think Monster Hunter will be a huge seller. Me personally would love to see some LBP stop being pushed back... I'd also love to see Dragons Crown come out in my lifetime.
Problem is there's tons of games slated for the device but it's down the road. I think the vita will explode once it gets that solid title. Also blame capcom for being shitty and not working on monster hunter for the vita instead of that 3ds+Combo stick abortion..

@seymourDuncan17: The Japanese don't really care for titles like Uncharted. So might be a must have for us, but for them its just American garbage.
I'll be honest, I still haven't bought a game for mine because they are no games that I really want to play. Except Disgeae, Gravity Rush and Persona 4. But these release dates are killing me
@BananaGobbler and all the other "when MH comes it will demolish 3DS"
it baffles me how sony fanboys say that "when Monster Hunter will come to Vita it will sell like hotcakes" being completely aware that Monster Hunter on Vita IS NOT a new game, IT ISN'T EVEN AN UPDATED PORT OF PSP GAME. Capcom is simply working on patching Monster Hunter Portable 3 that is on psp via PSN to be playable on Vita. HOW THE FUCK WOULD THAT SELL A HANDHELD TO PEOPLE WHO ALREADY OWN PSP FOR THE EXACT SAME GAME?

I'm still holding off until the features that I want are unlocked. Price is about right, though. Found a wifi on Amazon with a 4GB card for $204.00. Open up streaming PS3 games and unlock the PS1 games I've already purchased and I'm all over it.
I just want PS1 titles. Seriously Sony get on that.
I have not purchased a Vita yet, since the main games I want are Gravity, Disgaea 3, and other various RPGs which the system is currently lacking. Having said that, I do not think that the Vita is doomed. All launches start slow. It takes awhile for people to jump onto a new device and until a holiday season passes, I do not think it will be fair to assess PSV. Sony has soooooooooooo much potential for the device. Ultimately, it will all boil down to their decisions and whether they make smart ones. >.>
So far the continue delay of PS1 titles is a huge blow and does not bode well if they continue operating like this.

You've already explained this discrepancy, Jim.

They should have waited to release Monster Hunter alongside the Vita. End of story.

I had to think for a minute to remember that guys name in your header image, Jim. It's Mantenna. The figure looked different IIRC.
PS Vita: Viviendo la mala vida
Sony deserves credit for making an impressive piece of hardware. It's just a shame they don't know what to do with it.

@Stealth Really? Cause the 3DS started slow and everyone said Nintendo was doomed. Like I've said before in the past, people have no trouble attacking the 3DS, but the Vita people will defend to the death.
1) Give Capcom money.
2) Port Monster Hunter to Vita.
3) ???
4) Profit.
Excuse me while I continue not to sound the fucking alarm over this. All the Japanese really seem to play on portable devices these days is Monster Hunter, and the Vita has no MH title. When it gets one, the system well sell, just like the PSP and the 3DS did. In the mean time this has jack shit to do with the US market.

Just cut the price already, it's just too expensive for what it is, a dedicated hand held games console.
£150 price bracket with a game and I'd at least CONSIDER the damned thing, as it is. No thanks!

The ds did just fine without MH, because it had EVERYTHING else worth playing on a portable (Mass market wise.)
And now the 3ds has all of that *and* monhun.
The thought that MH will solve all of the Vita's problems (in Japan) is ridiculous, as gamers can have the entire world of the "best" portable gaming with one device.

So how many weeks of "the numbers are even lower now" are we going to get? And why just japan, where are the numbers for the west?
Seriously, I'd just stop here and wake us up when -for some reason- the sales get better.. and I mean much better, and not "better then last week".
@Leonardo Bandeira
Uncharted is a good game, but to me its a game thats over fast that teeters on being a high profile tech demo. Its a take it or leave it game, its hardly worth the $50 Sony is asking for it.. $40 -MAYBE- but not $50.

I really want to support the Vita, but aside from Gravity Rush I can't see anything I haven't played before or want to play.
@stig
It could. (it certainly wouldn't hurt)
But it is unrealistic to expect a game we know nothing about to boost sales of an under performing system.

Price math for the modern times:
Hype machine for the early adopters and charge as much as possible.
Expect low sales for the first quarter or two quarters from release date.
Lower price of machine by $50 to $70 dollars when time is right
Increase in sales will sky rocket.
While sales are low, this gives the company to lay off many workers and a "valid" excuse to do so, low profit means time to reduce work force and make the workers that remain to work their fucking asses off like never before.

I just want monster hunter to hurry up and get localized for my 3DS. I don't know why everyone keeps bringing it up for the vita, it's not gonna do jack shit for the sales over here.

As soon as Phantasy Star Online 2 comes out, or a new MonHun installment, I'm buying a Vita. Or maybe an RPG that totally grabs my attention.
They should have just called this PSP2, they're selling it exactly the same way. I wonder how it's doing states side by comparison?
The PSP survived and sold decently for very specific reasons (custom firmware, exclusive JRPG's and Monster Hunter), without those things on its side...
What ELSE did anyone think was gonna happen to the Vita?
They COULD maybe pull it back but I doubt it, Nintendo have this handheld generation in the bag. It's quite hilarious considering the kinds of articles we had on the 3DS not so long ago...

It'll survive. Hell, the PSP survived but it became sort of niche. I think this has a better chance once it sets it's roots - get's a Christmas or two past it. Look how the 3DS started and now it's gaining speed fast.
And the launch titles were some of the best for any launch ever, frankly. The problem isn't the lack of good games it's simply the lack of many games at all SINCE the launch.
