Moreso than many other RPGs this generation, the Persona series has remained a close favorite of mine. After playing both games on the PlayStation 2, I can say with complete certainty that Persona 5 is my most anticipated role-playing game for this generation. That’s right. Forget Mass Effect 3.

Jarrod questions whether Sony's Vita has enough going for it to help differentiate it from the 3DS and the hundreds of mobile offerings out there. Does the recent delay change the system's fate or is Sony actually positioning the system in such a way that it will cater only to the hardcore game and therefore put it into a league all of its own?
