Legendary game designer and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has praised Sony’s PS Vita for its technical prowess under the hood, but expressed concern over the lack of compelling software available in an Edge interview.

“It’s obviously a very hi-spec machine, and you can do lots of things with it,” said  Miyamoto. He added, “But I don’t really see the combination of software and hardware that really makes a very strong product.”

Miyamoto’s concerns seem to echo that of gamers, as many who picked up the system at launch have grew bored with the current selection of software. Thankfully, the drought is coming to a close. Moving into late May and early June we’ll see a few high-profile releases like Resistance: Burning Skies, Gravity Rush and LittleBigPlanet. Sony’s plans beyond that are unknown, however. Here’s hoping Vita announcements are plentiful during E3.
