Once again Stephen Fryâ€™s dulcet tones make the world seem a better place. Whilst very similar to its PlayStation 3 brothers, LittleBigPlanet tries to make use of the PS Vitaâ€™s features, particularly the touchpad, for a bunch of new vehicles and mini-games. It is very pretty though, and as a technical accomplishment, this is one of the games people use to showcase the PS Vita. Its biggest strength is its biggest weakness – itâ€™s too much like a PlayStation 3 game. The stand out launch title manages to do an awfully good job of looking like a fully grown PlayStation 3 game.

So letâ€™s take a quick look at some of the Vita’s best. Whilst we wait for a genuinely system selling game to appear on the PS Vita, thatâ€™s not to say there arenâ€™t a few games worth owning.

Even in Japan, where the PSP performed quite strongly, the PS Vita is selling at a quarter of the pace of the original PSP (reaching the million sales mark in 42 weeks as opposed to the 10 weeks it took the PSP). The PS Vitaâ€™s main problem though, has been a lack of great games. Itâ€™s a bit too early to give a final verdict on the PS Vita, but Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai recently admitted sales were lower than expected, with Sony finally about to drop the PS Vita price, in Japan at least (down from Â¥24,980 to Â¥19,980 for the Wi-Fi model). Â£35 PS Vita games will always struggle against 69p or even free mobile games. This time around, whilst the Nintendo 3DS poses a threat to the PS Vita, ultimately the biggest threat to both devices (and arguably console gaming in general) has come from iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The original PSP suffered from a slightly generic and malnourished games catalogue, with the Nintendo DS ultimately beating it up and stealing its lunch money. “we wait for a genuinely system selling game”Īt the same time, everyone has been a little skeptical about Sonyâ€™s handheld.
