Sony Aims to “Bring the Best Experiences and Best Brands” First and Third Party Alike to Vita
Sony is really gunning for the success of their new handheld. With the platform’s official launch outside of Japan now upon us – Happy Vita Day! – the PlayStation team is doing everything they can to build momentum for this new portable device. In fact, SCEA marketing boss Guy Longworth is assuring gamers that they can expect the best of the best to be on the PS Vita.
Speaking to VentureBeat, Longworth elaborated, saying:
We want to bring the best experiences and best brands to the platform, not only from Sony but from third parties as well. The hardware offers a canvas for developers to do different things. FIFA Soccer plays incredibly well on the Vita, and we think sports games in general will be big on it.
We think this an incredible experience you get with the Vita and that gives great value to the consumer. We have something for everyone, from AAA titles at $49.99 to downloadable games at more accessible prices.
We have to reiterate that we are in this for the long-term.
So there you have it. If you have been hesitant to drop $250 on the platform in fear that Sony will abandon the device in a couple of years, fear not, for Sony has made it clear they will remain loyal to the Vita audience for better or worse.

The reason I canceled my pre order is the fact that there were a lot of things said about the vita having that are not in the foreseeable future. I really want the remote access to play my ps3 while i am away from the house and would like the backwards compatibility. Also waiting for a price drop. I will get it once the 32 gb memory card and the vita are $250 all together and not $350.
Ps one support is said to come soon, and more psp games are to be supported. But I dount you’ll see vita and 32 card at 250$ for a long time.
Some homebrew to add your umds will also be nice but thats not on sony’s part.
Hope so, as I know I am dedicated to the Vita as much, if not more so, then Sony.
