The Playstation Vita in Question

When the vita was first announced and demonstrated at the E3 conference, it seemed to be a new piece of tech that would give a potential for special types of games on the vita and it seemed to the handheld gaming community that it would shove up all the other handheld consoles out there, but surprisingly it failed to light up it's sales charts, which has given a rise to questions about the vita's future and Sony still continues to deny accepting anything wrong with the vita or maybe unwilling to admit. Vita had promised a huge library of games right off the bat and moreover Sony had vita as a weapon against it's primary competitor, the Nintendo 3DS. Even I began predicting the Vita to be successful but I was wrong. Now, the question is how did the Vita fail to satisfy the consumers ? Just after the Vita's release the clouds covering Vita began to outcast, there were complains about the vita's expensive memory cards and lack of substantial memory. Sony was so betting on Vita to be it's champion that it refused to drop the price of the Vita among it's other competitors, iOS, android as well as the Nintendo markets and then the games didn't quite shape out the way we all were hoping that they would, there was a lot of online gaming uncertainty and outdated asynchronous online play too. Vita's online play should have been a selling point rather than something to be abused and complained about, it was very disappointing. Even the biggest First Person Shooter, Call Of Duty Black Ops Declassified, proved to be a junk for the vita, even though Vita had the capability of dual analog sticks and strong specifications, which should have given a console quality performance but it's a shame it did not even Assassin Creed III : Liberation had a way lot bugs in vita, it surely disappointed the Assassins Creed series fans who were looking on to it to  be satisfying when it came to portable gaming. There are also many lags in the games you play on the Vita. So, somehow the vita failed console quality on the go, which it had promised. Now as we enter 2013, there is still a lack of upcoming games for the vita and it does not have a huge library of games as promised. Nintendo 3DS and the smartphone platforms seem to be emerging above the Vita, in gaming on the go. Even though Sony claims supporting the Vita in the future but the vita has become a failed prophecy. It seems that the vita is going on a slow path, but as I said the Vita has led to many possibilities in the realm of portable gaming. Nintendo seems to have dedicated customers and a fairly good number of games that sell well and a rapidly expanding base and Sony with the Vita doesn't have any of that. 2013 isn't looking great for vita seeing it's past neither has it been great till now.
