LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

What Are The PlayStation VITA Launch Titles, Exactly?

Posted on Friday, February 3 @ 14:14:12 Eastern by

Even as someone in the business, I'm confused about the VITA's launch titles. Sony came out with a long release list back in December on its official blog, and while that clarified much, it still didn't clarify everything.

Which games are actually available on the console's February 22 release date? Which are available during the early week release for the First Edition Bundle on February 15? And what about those "launch window" titles? What's that supposed to mean? How long is a launch window anyway? Isn't that just an excuse to release a title whenever you want?

Regardless, I've taken the time to comb over all the primary source material (aka not jst Wikipedia) to compile a comprehensive list for the entire PS Vita launch list.

    That's a strong line-up, but I can see why it isn't doing well in Japan yet - the games are way too western!

    They have to be teasing us. Waiting until the next generation consoles drop onto the market and then rolling an updated version of FF7 out with the new console to ensure high sales. No company can be stupid enough to wave meat in the face of buying customers and refuse to follow with a product the slobbering fans are screaming for. BUT....this is SquareEnix :(

    This would be the right time to pull out the FF7 card too. I don't think they can hurt the Final Fantasy brand any more than they already have... (maybe).
