Because if I wanted to play games on the go I'd use my smartphone.

None of the games right now look interesting. The price is too high for the amount (lack of) value on the platform. The future of the platform looks bleak -- no word of a price cut and very little in terms of software in the future that interests me beyond one title. Beyond that, the little things like pricey proprietary memory formats and stupid design choices like deleting an icon on the main screen deletes your save are off-putting.

I agree on memory cards but whoever says no games is simply ignorant and repeats the same bs on the boards that people were saying like months ago. Do a goddamn search on the internet and see if Vita has games or no, also there are a lot of announced games in development.

I have one, it's alright. Uncharted isn't so hot (compared to the PS3 games), but LBP is pretty good with the touchscreen. Still don't think I would recommend itnto anyone unless they really like handhelds.

PSP still gets most of the good games. If Vita was 100% backwards compatible I'd probably have switched by now, but carrying two devices around from the same company is too much.

It's not worth the money. - has only one exclusive game I would be interested in playing (Gravity Rush) - requires the use of proprietary memory (a hidden cost) - does not do everything my smartphone does (non-gaming related features) making it an "added burden" to carry around I'm interested in a 3DS because of it's lower price, the several exclusive games I want to play (mostly Nintendo first-party) and it's portability, reliability and battery life (the DS was amazing for these things as well). It doesn't feel like a "me too" device trying to run against the smartphone/touch craze current... it's a standalone gaming device that doesn't require a substantial initial investment.

Persona 4 Golden is the only game I am interested. And maybe DJMAX. Just those two don't justify the admission price. And f*ck that memory.

Most of its top rated games do not interest me. I don't have much interest in P4 Gold or Sound Shapes. Other games like Uncharted Golden Abyss just seem like inferior versions of their Ps3 variants without doing anything interesting. Sony needs to make games that compliment handhelds and not watered down console ports. The price should be cut down to $150 and memory cards are a blatant cash grab (lol@ $100 for 32GB). Sony is being stubborn about the prices, meanwhile 3DS is getting new Pokemon games and Monster Hunter, which pretty much renders the Vita obsolete in Japan. Another reason I don't have one is because I am not 100% sure that it is even going to exist in the real world within the next year. Most exposure the Vita will get is 5 years from now when people make Top 10 biggest gadgets failures of all time lists.

I almost bought one near launch, but when I got my hands on one and a few games my opinion afterwards was that I'd rather spend my money elsewhere for better experiences.

I bought a PSP once back when Portable Ops came out. Its the only platform I ever regretted buying. Apparently the Vita game stable is even worse.

Besides that I'm just not into handhelds. Even with the great libraries on the GBA and DS, I rarely played them.

No games worth a dam, memory card prices, battery that doesn't last long.

Will wait for more games or a price drop.

I think a better question would be why have you bought a Vita. For real I've bought a vita and regret it, but I'll be keeping it for the time being.

I have one, its not bad but I would need to at at least another 500 hours on it to consider it a good purchase, right now it's a "I'm keeping it but not playing it much due to lack of interesting titles".

No games I'm interested in. Price is too high and that is before the memory cards. Most of the gaming on the go I do is on my iPhone and iPad, and the games are far cheaper.

Whats holding you back.

jimmypsn

Because it is extremely expensive and there is not a single exlusive game i want on it

Vita is in many ways worst even than Wii, where i only have 4 games all these years, it has zero games that matter at all to me, not a single one

I dont know how they managed that, but well, they did

- Ridiculously expensive.
- Terrible Library.
- Most of the great games are on PS3.
- Already own a smartphone.
- Already own a much more superior handheld console called 3DS.

They're talking about the first PSP. But as far as FPS goes for Vita, those have been pretty garbo as well. Just look a Resistance Burning Skies and CoD

I like unit 13 and the demo for uncharted. Which I am waiting for it to drop in price before I get. Cod is my fav shooter so far though.
