I think they are talking 900 with a lot being different names per country.

Sony Hype Protection Squad Sony has been talking to MCV and have revealed that the PS Vita has seen a sales increase of 100% during our rather nice summer, with that success being partly attributed to the Vita Mega Packs, where 10 Vita games are sold for £35. Vita had a good summer, the Mega Pack is one of the things that has boosted performance by more than 100 per cent. Its now in growth year-on-year. And youve seen several pieces of news at Gamescom which will only help. So that means we can feel optimistic, said Sonys UK boss Fergal Gara. Of course the price cut for the Vita and its memory cards probably also helped, and the potential of relationship with the PS4 is also a plus, especially the Remote Play function. The interview also revealed that by the end of 2013 the Vita will have over 900 titles.

I like how they don't have these plans in other countries. Regardless, 100% increase but now it needs to keep that boost with games, and inflating your amount of games by different titles by language will backfire.

My Vita library is thirty titles strong since I got in January. Comparatively, my 3DS library is about 11 or 12 games since I got it in 2011, most of those titles being bought this year. Get your shit together Nintendo.

If they can keep this up they could eclipse PSP success and seriously challenge Nintendo dominance in handheld market. Vita is a far more attractive offering compared to the 3DS. It's also offering a whole lot more value compared to what PSP offered versus DS.

The Vita will be fine. It's amazing what a price drop will do.

Pretty much the same for me.. although its more like 45 titles on vita and 7 titles on 3ds as I don't like mario, pokemons or animal crossing... only 1st party 3ds games I own are zelda and fire emblem, everything else is from atlus, namco and capcom.

Yeah.. got that on release. Big time SMT / Persona fan. I am not that far into it though. The story isn't really grabbing me, but then again I just got into the 3rd level of the tower. Now SMT Nocture... and SMT Strange Journey - those games had me hooked from the get go.

I conquer, at this point I hope we get enough of a user base for support. With better hardware compariibly than last gen, if vita ends up discontinued I would get a 3ds if they get more shooters

In your eyes perhaps.

In mine it has; 

- Killzone

- Gravity Daze

- Uncharted

- Assassin's Creed Liveration

- Soul Sacrifice

- Rayman Origins

- Rayman Legends

- Little Big Planet

- Metal Gear Solid HD


This is without even going into the download titles like:

- Super Stardust

- Guacamelee

- Escape Plan

- Plants Vs Zombies

- Zen Pinball

- Sound Shapes

To be honest, the main reason why the Vita is looking good is because of the PS4. I think I may get it in time for my PS4 (hopefully they have a PS4+PSV bundle) and also, it looks like the place to get all the quirky indie games I love on the go :D
