There's no denying the fact that the PlayStation Vita is an impressive device. It's a powerful handheld that can do some pretty cool things and includes awesome features. That said, it's most certainly lacking in content, which is a shame, because Vita adopters desperately want to put their shiny handheld to good use.

They don't need hundreds of great games. But I mean, Vita owners need something besides just Uncharted.

It's not that i don't agree, it's simply that whenever a new console seems to come out, in the first few months, all you seem to see are articles about people saying "Hardware = good, but needs more software", it's common sense that new hardware means lack of software, and it's iterated every single time something new comes out, that it get's a bit tiring hearing the same stuff be said over and over.

Among other things i'm sure.

It's not the software that's the problem with the Vita. It's Sony, and the hardware.
