I got it the first day, but only played Uncharted: GA, so it's been collecting dust for months now.. saying that, next week 2 awesome games will be released:

well I already own Metal Gear HD collection for the ps3, but they're too good to pass this on-the-go opportunity tbh

and
Gravity Rush which looks very interesting

not to mention the ps1 classic feature that's coming soon (long over due)

This was the bigget flop of Sony in the games field where they had an astonishing success...
the console just hit the lowest sales ever the last week and the regular PSP even sells more! I can't believe that

PS Vita hardware sales have sunk to a new low in Japan -- the handheld's weekly sales dropped below 5,000 units for the first time since launching there 11 months ago.

Sony sold 4,842 of the systems last week in Japan, according to Media Create. Comparing that number to other portables, for every PS Vita sold during that period, Sony moved nearly three more PSPs, and Nintendo pushed almost 20 more 3DSes (Nintendo debuted a new color model and hardware bundle last week).

The handheld has struggled in its first year on the market to sell significant units in any of the major territories. Sony has slashed its forecast for PSP and PS Vita hardware sales this fiscal year twice -- first from 16 million to 12 million, and then to 10 million as of last week.

Sony has acknowledged the problems it's had building up momentum for PS Vita, and previously told Gamasutra that "this back half of the year, the holiday season, is really where Vita will make its mark." The company expects the system will have a considerably larger install base by the end of the year.
