*sigh* This is why Vita shelves are getting neglected in stores.

Thing with Vita is is the horrible DID marketing it has in the west Rolling Eyes

They're marketing it towards the dudebro CoD audience. Toting games like Killzone and Call of Duty as the killer aps on it. The fact the only way we can get the 2000 model is by buying a Borderlands 2 bundle pack kind of sucks. Not God Eater 2, not Jump VS, not Dynasty Warriors, not Persona 4, not Gundam Break, not Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, not even Conception 2. No, Borderlands 2. For whatever reason.

Meanwhile all the Japanese games for it go unreleased here. Most of the games for the Vita aren't/will not come out here. They're marketing an otaku handheld towards the mainstream CoD audience. Sony's marketing here has a severe case of DID on who they're trying to market the system for here. And anyone who isn't in that little audience is told to sod off pretty much.

Yeah they really should be marketing the Vita here to the smallest audience possible. Sony should be preaching to the choir.

That makes sense.
