Most hardcore gamers would rather play a higher-quality console experience on the big screen, and most casual gamers would rather pay a small price for a bite-sized game on their phone. This puts Vita into the same no man's land that PSP occupied. PSP had a few hits that helped fuel the system's prosperity in Japan.

Fast forward to today, over one year later, and not one of them has been announced for Vita. What could be worse? All three series moved to Nintendo's 3DS. In other words, Sony's strongest allies have abandoned ship. Sony's fans won't want to hear this, but the gaming public is getting less and less interested in its in-house games.

Most of its best exclusives are based on genres platforming, hack-n-slash that have long since gone out of favor. Sorry Sony, but Mario is the only guy who can make a living platforming these days. Sony does have a few series in popular genres, but Killzone and Resistance aren't exactly retail superstars. The Uncharted series did reasonably well in its debut Vita release, Golden Abyss, but it obviously hasn't spurred significant sales.

One game alone won't convince gamers to buy a new console. That leaves Sony's biggest series, God of War, which hasn't yet been announced for Vita. We'd love to see it announced at tomorrow's presentation, because Vita can't wait until E3 for a savior. Can an increased focus on indie games like Hotline Miami and a lower price help Vita find its footing?

PSP did get things turned around somewhat in one region of the world , so it's possible Vita could too. But as of now, there doesn't seem to be a clear pathway out of this pit of despair.
