A representative from Sony spoke on the issue of PS Vita shortages saying "The U.S. launch of the slimmer and lighter Vita has generated strong interest among gamers, and we're working to replenish supply here to ensure continued momentum leading into the holidays."
Even a Gamestop representative weighed in on the issue saying "The system has sold better than expected and we are working closely with Sony to receive more (systems)."
It is hard to say why there was such a sudden boost in PS Vita interest, heaven knows it wasn't due to E3. Perhaps the recent launch of Borderlands, or the upcoming Vita version of Minecraft has sparked some badly needed interest. The PS4 is also low on stock, perhaps there is correlation there. Whatever the reason lets continue to support the Vita, and watch it grow in numbers!

Totally agree with you. I've got 70+ games on vita now including psp and ps one games I never got the chance to play or fancy replaying. As a future parent there's games in the psn library that would keep kids busy for the whole summer plus more. PS+ gives the kids at least a free vita game every month and the sales and classics can be purchased for $8. There's lengthy and wholesome games like final fantasy 6 to 10, trails of the sky, disgaea, monster hunter, dragon ball z, terraria, tactics ogre, harvest moon, crash bandicoot, gran turismo (800 cars to collect), etc. Then there's Co op like monster hunter, ragnarok ace, sword art online, EDF, sonic racing ... It just gives and gives. It's the sales and deals every week which I give applaud to Sony and the vita. Can't wait for mine craft so I can lounge on bed/sofa!!
ReplyDeleteNo they were talking about PS4 and Vita not xbone, but you're an idiot so you're are probably very easily confused.
ReplyDeleteSays the saltiest one on the internet.
ReplyDeleteWe are working very hard to fix this issue. It has been occurring for a while now. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
ReplyDeleteVery true, in the grand scheme of things this may not necessarily be a huge factor in the overall success of the Vita. However it is potentially a stepping stone for Sony to "re-launch" the system
ReplyDeleteGood thing, the system is awesome and underrated
ReplyDeleteYou seem salty.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the Vita picking up. The Vita has been selling very low numbers this bump isn't huge but if they can maintain the small increase in sales it will at least maintain the Vita from sinking and the 3rd party localizations coming.
ReplyDeleteBUSTED! lol. great find for another phony track record of sony affiliates.
ReplyDeleteSony marketing team have always been performing soap operas to pump up the artificial high demand. Paying fake reviews is like a ritual for sony :

Someones seem very upset, butthurted, and predictable too, so here comes the extremely saltiest ones .... my angry fanatics who desperate to damage control ;)
Something is wrong with the comment section here, I get a diferent set of comments when I view the article from my phone
ReplyDeleteI love the device, its a must have if you own a PS4 due to remote play. And despite what some might say it has an massive great game library. Whats not to like?
ReplyDeletePlus the vita is kid friendly with their pets game that came out
ReplyDeleteFor the family gamers also add: spyro, rayman origins or legends, new little kings story, puzzle quest, dynasty warriors, sly Cooper, lego games, assassin creeds, Prince of persias, grand theft auto games (18+!!), metal gear solids, front mission, theme hospital.. hopefully these will last them at least 2 years!!!!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you
ReplyDeleteand pigs fly.
ReplyDeleteI seriously think it's minecraft and borderlands because the summer is here and parents want kids/teenagers to play something on long trips. And kids love minecraft I know my son does he plays it on ps3 and pc and told me I better buy him a vita just for minecraft......i already own a vita with 33 games already(physical copies)
ReplyDeleteYou mean understocked because of low demand and thus creating artificial demand to be able to overhype - the Sony way.
ReplyDeleteArtificial demand is artificial. Especially when it comes from a biased site called 'VitaBoys' and no credible links to back up the claim. Do not let anything on the internet dictates your wallet. Sony is trying hard to slam a non-popular product down your throat.
ReplyDeletecredible links...
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see Sony marketing the Vita at last here in Latin America, this will shurely bump up sales, this store pamphlet just came to my door
ReplyDelete?
