What Sony needs to do to make the PS Vita succesful


The PS Vita has been through some tough time sense its release. It has never really found an audience yet and still gets mediocre sales at best. Its only seen a slight increase in sales when a price cut was announced in Japan about a month ago but sales have remained very lackluster even after the announcement. Its a shame because the PS Vita is a great system. It has great hardware and has a promising future with the PS4, but the main problem is its lack of good games to play. Theirs only a few good games really worth playing like Uncharted Golden Abyss and Gravity Rush but other than that the rest of there line up is pretty weak. Theirs still hope though, the 3DS which is selling extremely well also had a very poor line up and started off very bad just like the Vita. Can the PS Vita make a come back like the 3DS did?

The problem with the PS Vita isn't that it doesn't have any games on it, because it actually has a pretty reasonable size library of games on it. Its the lack of great games. There are probably just about a handful of great games to play on the PS Vita, the rest are pretty mediocre. Sony needs to put more of there great game franchise on there or make an effort to get some big publishers to make a game for the PS Vita. It needs something like a  Grand theft auto port, or a Bioshock port ( which has been rumored ) to come out to really sell the system. If Sony can put some great games on the PS Vita that will catch peoples attention then I have no doubt the system will be successful. Also a price cut in America would boost some sales but I doubt Sony will do this sense there already taking a loss on the system.

In time I think the PS Vita will really pick up on sales but for now the PS Vita is looking pretty grim. Once Sony reveals some awesome games and shows gamers why they should purchase there system, it can be a big hit.
