PlayStation UK MD Fergal Gara tells us why he thinks the PS Vita will have a great christmas, more details inside........
Fergal Gara admits that PS Vita had a dry summer but sales will pick up during Christmas time:
"We'd love for us to be further on," Gara told the magazine. "And the release schedule for Vita was rather like the release schedule for the industry this year, in that it did dry up during the summer. We had that incredible summer of sport and very little focus on gaming.
"But the great news is that we have got the content in place. We have got the cash to invest in terms of marketing and retail to really ignite it this Christmas. To start judging a console before it has had its first Christmas is preposterous, really. And we are giving it everything we have got."
Let us know what game will make PS Vita sell in the comments below!

Assassins Creed, LBP Karting. If they could squeeze out PS2 classics buy Xmas i think that would be a huge plus for buyers.
you have no idea how much ps2 content would help.
need for speed titles would be great as well as some GTA and other big hit tittles!!
"Everything we got" ?, from my point of view the advertising lately has been horrible, I've seen none of it.
NO LBP Karting for Vita, or not announced yet...
No point in wasting money advertising until Christmas grows closer.
If the lawsuit they got in with bridgestone tires goes through then u can expect sony have a few extra things n line far as marketing and new games :)
Since i have my PS vita which was on the day of its release i can truly say i have only played it for about a week which was due to completing unchanted, since than its been sitting on the shelf!.. the Vita has bogus games, its like we were all fooled to buy the vita and than NOTHING! its like buying a new car and going to the station to buy some petrol yet every station you go to say "please Wait until we have something for you"..
We don't want PSN made games from the psn store, we want games made by developers which push the VITA to its potential, the PSN games have the graphics of the PSP, they are there to buy SONY time, they are there to stall us from complaining to why the PSVITA LACKS games!
I had my Vita since the Japanese release date back in December last year, and I haven't stopped playing it since.
Not to be aggressive here, but you should play the more Vita games instead of just giving up without even trying them. Ragnarok Odyssey (already available in English in Region 3), New Little King's Story, LBP Vita, these games do push the vita to its potential, and they certainly do not have PSP's graphics.These are just a few of the good games out there. Granted, I wouldn't say a "killer Vita game" already exists, but still. :)
i am very bored of the empty promises of sony - the vita does not have the games to support it - SIMPLES .
FUCK YOU SONY YOU STEEL DIDNT COME OUT WITH SOME REAL FUCKING GAME FOR THIS SYSTEM YOU KNOW WHAT IM JUST GOING TO HACK MY PS VITA AND THATS IT
FUCK YOU SONY YOU STEEL DIDNT COME OUT WITH SOME REAL FUCKING GAME FOR THIS SYSTEM YOU KNOW WHAT IM JUST GOING TO HACK MY PS VITA AND THATS IT
Little King's Story is the latest outing on the VITA, are you really impressed by it? the graphics? the title? its presentation? i clearly remember the VITA been stated as powerfull as the PS3 so why are games been released such as Little King's Story which has graphics which look like it was an abandoned project on the PSP..
I respect your view but lets talk about COD, How disappointing are the graphics on their, that was meant to be a lifeline for the VITA, yet its not meeting expections, i believe the only game so far which has lived up to expections on the vita is unchanted, and yes i have tried other games on the Vita but was never convinced to go out there and buy them.
If you dont like it why dont you sell it and stop moaning like a little kid, im sure there are people willing t have it off you.
I am just waiting for AC3: Liberation and NFS Most Wanted. Both, top notch games.
I am gamer who uses his mind and "Thinks" whereas you sound like a gamer who feeds into marketing of companies without questioning, Wake up buddy!!! if u want some good games on the VITA you should rasie ur voice instead of following the crowd as u keep waiting and waiting and waiting..
if your clever than you would relize you anit getting any good Vita games untill at least for the next 2-3 years!!!! Why? because go and look into thr History of Sony and its gaming products PS3 and PSP which only became sucessfull after 3 years of its lauch.. so expect only "One" deccent game untill thn, which seems to be Assasins creed 3.
Vita has awesome graphics, but what about the gameplay? I wanted to enjoy the Vita like I enjoyed Super Mario (on DS, 3DS XL, Wii, whatever). I played LBP and it has good graphics. The gameplay is good but not as enjoyable and addictive as Mario.
You can't blame those who judge especially the Vita owners. Vita has been launched worldwide last Feb 2012, and so far I think only Uncharted is a good-enough (not that awesome) killer game for VITA, and it's a Vita exclusive. I think this kind of games are what the complainers, including myself, are looking for.
Just look at PS3, they have Fall of Cybertron, Street Fighter X Tekken, Final Fantasy XIII, God of War III, MGS4, Uncharted series, etc. I don't even have a PS3. I was expecting Vita will be like this. I hope it's gonna be like this come 2013.
the vita goes indeed have remarkable graphics, but there are not many games which are running on the power of vita's specs.
I have had my vita since launch day and I have loved it and still love it I think more advertising is needed
Agreed.
I'm another day one vita owner. Advertising will help but I think the upcoming call of duty will be a system seller. Like it or not people will buy it. Cod is ere to stay. I'm no fanboy but I do like call of duty. Its a great series. Ill let the sales figures do the talking before the haters start a war.
I think Vita's sales will pick up a tit in Christmas do to AssAssinins Creed Liberation and Need For Speed: Wonton butt, IMHO... I think the Vita will
be (for lack of a better word) "Asleep" until Tearaway is erected and
pushed out to release in 2013, only then will other developers be
inspired to cum on the Vita train to participate in the developer dun
known as the orgy. I think the most anticipated games thus far are
truely Tearaway and Bio-Shock Vita (even though very little about
Bioshock on Vita is known) and you had better bet there WILL be a wet
Vita version of Resident Evil and other popular games cumming onto Vita
in 2013.
huh?
Why dont u jus get an PS2 and its games, this is ps vita ask for vita games
MGS HD collection was definitely a great buy and worth it for the vita, and LBP is also a great game too. i will admit it does need a bigger line-up of games.
new resident evil on vita pls. so that im not gonna buy nintendo 3ds xl this coming xmas,coz nintendo 3ds have resident evil revelation.
I would like to see ps2 support also the vita has the power for it . Sony gave us ps1 support might as well add the last generation ps2 . Then they could say the PlayStation vita is as powerful as the ps3. Portable ps3. Don't stone me its just my opinion .
I agree and youtube advertising doesn't count sony. I just barely seen the madden vita commerical the peacock one . Just because I happen to be on YouTube smh. Come on sony. By the way that commerical convince my madden crazy friend to go and buy a vita. Now just play it on tv. I haven't even seen s ps3 commerical.
as a -64 day vita owner, judging the vita is a big thing to me, it's a great piece of hardware with astounding potential, but I don't expect anyone to come on board anytime soon, it's only sold 3 million units in almost a year (something the 3ds did in under 3 months)
all it needs is monster hunter over in japan (and here) and a GOOD call of duty over here in america, and it'll start picking up on sales (plus that price cut next year (:)
Screw You Volvic9999. Just sell it and get it over with.
Well not everybody can carry a portable electric generator, ps2, and TV, on their back. :) But I agree, we need vita games too! This christmas will be great :)
2 years??...need for speed, .ac3l, r odesy, streetfighter x tekken.. all by this month or nxt, think im gonna be ok,im enjoying my vita, with fifa, online is great, i have metal hd collection old but great on vita, i keep going back to uncharted, even though ive completed it, loving mortal kombat still, and lbp i have no complaints, you carry on, throwing your toys out the pram cry baby.
lol says the guy who cant stop playing with his own toys and games...
" i keep going back to uncharted, even though ive completed it, "
you sound angry... maybe the truth i speak hurts you.. they do say truth hurts lmao
Dude the ps3 has been out since 2006, it had a huge dry spell of games as well. Those games you mention weren't even out for almost over 2 years. Just give it time, and we'll have a huge library aswell.
So because he happens to enjoy games, that you find lacking in quality because they arent you're taste, he's feeding into the media?
GTFO XD whatever you say mr. "I think my opinions are facts because I say so."
Great news!
Well, October to December seems a good month for this year: Street Fighter X Tekken, Assasin's Creed, Persona 4, Call of Duty, and other unannounced games. But, I'm soooo looking forward to 2013. The reason I bought Vita is to have lots of quality titles that my PSP didn't enjoy much.

another game to get ready for those who have a vita.
Final fantasy vita news above..
seem's to me, you are just a troll, and check this out, looks like more dev's are getting on board, think by nxt year vita will be top handheld.. but hopefully you will sell your's to someone who appreciates it.

I'm still amazed at Sony not releasing all of these HD collections on the Vita as well as on the PS3. Kingdom Hearts HD on the Vita would sell big, I guarantee you that.
Sony need to sort out the cost of the memory cards, £38 for a 16gb card when a micro SDHC 16gb costs £8 is a joke.
What would make the Vita sell would be memory cards that are competitively priced, instead of at a 400%+ markup.
I cant wait! I NEED MORE GAMES!!!
all hd collections
If i built a device such as vita and wanted customers who owned ps3s to buy vitas i would recommend like the launch of cod on black ops 2s release date, that they release more titles such as lbp karting or atleast god of war ascension, screw a new ff, bring back ffx, why is it so hard to ask that sony dont bother hot designers to team in on stupid games like playstation allstars or as i call it sony smash bros
