Maybe because that article is utter bullshit.
Let's look at Japanese launch sales for other systems,
Those sales aren't all bad. It did quite well even with a shortage.

Whaa? I thought this topic was about the Playstation vita. What does the 3DS have to do with this?
And those shots are not scaled up. They're straight off the Vita's framebuffer via the screenshot function. Pixel perfect (save for some minor jpg compression), native res, as shown.
The vita's screen isn't that size, though, it's about a third of that. They're not going to use a bunch of resources on making it look good in screenshots when the only noticeable effect for players would be lag. I assure you that in action both of those games are gorgeous.
A lot of people also aren't acknowledging that nintendo consoles sell extremely well in general. Nintendo's got a huge audience that nobody else can really compete with at this point.
I had Gravity Rush, when I had a Vita. The draw distance is awful, there's aliasing everywhere, and the models are pretty low-poly. Colours are bland too, not taking advantage of OLED's nice contrast at all. It's a fun game with lots of style, but it's not a visual marvel. Can't personally vouch for Ass Creed.

As a Vita owner, I can say that Gravity Rush on the Vita looks pretty much exactly like it does on the screenshot. Although that certainly isn't the most flattering pic of the game.
I would say that the reason iOS/Android games occasionally look better than Vita games is because of image quality. Most games on the Vita run at a sub-native resolution while iOS games are all native. When you're holding a system so close to your face, running a game at the native screen res instead of at a sub-native res makes a huge difference.

I've already said this before.
The Vita, barely has any real ports
A true, nearly 1:1 port of a PS3 game would be excellent. Instead, the Vita gets what is simply, and I quote myself "a shittier version" , not a port, of PS3 games.
It's a really shitty screencap of Ass Creed, definitely. To each his own on gravity rush, but if you really want to see how nice the screen on the thing is, look at P4G. That game's beautiful at times.
My buddy Wren has P4G
It looks nearly exactly the same as the PS2 version. The beautiful thing about that game is the HD character portraits and other such 2D graphics. The in-engine visuals are nothing to brag about.
If you want a game that makes Vita look good... WipEout looks nice. He has that one too. It's 30fps, but it's pretty looking.

For most games, that isn't possible. Mobile tech just isn't powerful enough.
Which is why I take issue with Sony's whole PS3 on the go philosophy but let's not go there.
I have no interest in the Vita whatsoever, but the flood of threads like this kinda makes me hope sales really pick up.
I don't have any interest in Vita either. But seeing as Sony is not putting effort into their own product, why should I care? One thing I learned with my psychologist is there is no difference between giving up on something or keep postponing your attitudes towards a problem. I am just saying...
To postpone means when there's something you must do, but you leave that for later.
What I meant was Sony needed to make a price cut and/or bring a must-buy title to the VIta, but they always leave that for later. And I was arguing that they are literally giving up on the system.
Sorry for any english mistakes, but I try
Maybe I used "postpone" in a way it's not meant to. Forget "postpone"! Pretend I said "I learned with my psychologist that giving up on something and always leaving a problem to be dealt with later are the same thing!"

I'm actually disappointed this thread wasn't locked before I got a chance to read it...
Is there any way Valwin could be allowed to log in and post but not create threads? Would really have a positive impact on my quality of life.

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
