Minecraft and Persona 4: Golden will reach 1M soon!!!

Woohoo!! I'm loving my Vita!
PS Vita by far is still the better handheld than the 3ds but this is based on who is playing it. I have both, heck I also have GB, GBC,GBA, DS Lite, PSP, 3DS and PS Vita. I prefered the psp over DS even though DS had the better library.
PS Vita just gives me what I want from games. I don't find anything on the 3DS shelf interesting apart from MH, Mario, Zelda and Pokemon.

OMG! Sony made the Xbox One into a handheld?! SONY IS GOD!
Congrats to soony for the best handheld ever
Make the memory cards cheaper please
I wish Sony would support the Vita. Release a new SKU with R2/L2 at a lower price, put some exclusive titles on it, and advertise a PS4/Vita bundle. That's all it would take to move this system from legacy to modern.
One of my favorite systems of all time.
Same, tis such a lovely piece of hardware.

Go Vita.
My only complaint is that avls volume control that you have to turn off every time you turn it on.
I think you might have something set up incorrectly, I don't have to do this each time. Maybe check your settings out?
its a great piece of tech but it is very poorly made
What do you mean by this ellaborate
My coworker offered to give me his old one when he bought the newer model.
I said no thank you.
Way to go Sony, however I see no going further with the Vita. PS Vita was the very first gaming system I purchased day 1, and such a strong start with the system, amazing lineup of games, up until a couple years ago, and now nothing. As Sony people put it, it's now a legacy platform. Last game I purchased was Killzone: Mercenary, 2 years ago. I absolutely love the systemost and its capabilities, but support for the system is virtually no where to be found.
try opening the psn store on your vita, you'll find support there.
Try widening your likes in games...
Everytime Vita passes a million its a milestone. Cant wait for the article celebrating 13 million.
Go troll somewhere else.
He reported me for that comment, even though it's a totally reasonable request, and an accurate assessment of the comment itself.
There is a mistake between 4 and 11 april 2015 ( +1.3 millions ^^)
