Jack Tretton: 'We Are Happy With The PS Vita'

Yes cows, you knew it was coming. My daily hate on the PS Vita thread. So how about this time, let's just discuss the topic at hand, and not the fact that I post PS Vita news everyday, shall we?

Anyway, the newest in the debacle that is the PS Vita

"In this industry, you can't get too high or too low, because it moves very quickly," says Tretton. "I think there's an acceptable number - and [the number] we've sold: That's acceptable. If it was triple that, I'd be happier. If it was one-third, I'd be disappointed."

"We felt if the tech was there, and the game support was there, then the audience would be there. I feel much better about it now than I did four monthsago."GameIndustry

Honestly, I don't even know what to say to that. I mean, I guess I will, out of sheer (naive) optimism, give him the benefit of the doubt, and assume that in the last four months, Sony has managed to have some new secret game developed for it... but then, that doesn't make any sense in context of what Yoshida, his friggin boss, said yesterday about them having troubles getting third parties to develop for the system.

We'll see soon anyway. I just know, this TGS, Gamescom, and holiday season will be the litmus test for the Vita. Because hell, we all know if it fails by the end of this year, it fails period.

Damage control comfirmed.

I think they're obligated to be as positive as possible about the Vita and it's future until they pull the plug.

They have a good product. But the product doesn't have what the product was designed for.

You have to admire Sony's optimism but to be honest with how piss poor this console has sold when it is such a beast is pathetic. This console should be flying off the shelves but next to no decent game support and a price which most people wont pay when they can buy a PS3 or XBOX for a few notes more.OhJayDubya

Great system for me but I can see why some people don't want to touch it with a 10 foot pole, Sony not admiting they have a problem is not doing them well. Wasn't PS1 support supposed to be out like 2 months ago ? They are dragging their ass behind, they should be thinking that Vita is in deep **** and trying to secure some AAA Exclusives. Still amazes me they haven't struck a deal with Capcom for Monster Hunter or another popular japanese studio to make a game for them, and funny how poorly so far the Call Of Duty title seems to be, that could have really sold some systems if it was really done well in the Western Market.

This is the Game Gear versus Game Boy all over again. The Vita is a far better system than the 3DS on just about every level, but the library support just isn't there! *face palms*JustPlainLucas

Lesson one in PR: NO, I repeat, NO executive will ever tell a consumer base they lost faith in a product. I own a Vita, and love it. But it isnt looking good for it. Let's be real.cainetao11

vita needs serious 3rd party support also it need all ps3 psn games to be crossplay

oh wow they obviously are liars,

the vita will be dead by 2013 , there is nothing i want on the thing and to make matters worst even people who want one wont buy 1 until there is a game or two cause that 250.00 price tag is heck of expensive

Hey, if it weren't for these topics, the Vita wouldn't be in SW. Cows should appreciate it.

:lol:

Sony need to stop fooing around and start getting games for the vita that are not PS3 ports and drop the price on both the vita and memory card for the vitakyacat

Damage control denied.

PS Vita is still the most ironically named console ever.
