If Sony cans the Vita?

i would not worry about it since that is not going to happen.

I don't know. I guess I'll keep playing the Vita games i have (along with my PC and PS3 games). Life goes on.

They can keep it as a collectors item? :P

I don't think they will can it.

But they need do something about it.

Sony should refund the money paid since the Vita will no longer exist. But, that ain't gonna happen.

Ah, the PS Pippin...it has done terrible. If they can it? Nothing, no more games, but no refunds.

IN a worst-case scenario the Vita will still get some nominal 1st party support. The Gamecube would be a good parrallel. Sony wouldn't just outright ditch the entire thing. Hell they even kept releasing UMD movies even long after it was confirmed that the UMD was a failed movie format.

Shouldn't the title read "When Sony cans the Vita?"

I doubt they will, but I'd be a sad person if they did. Nintendo would just get lazier, because they can. On top of that, I'm highly anticipating many titles for the Vita.

If it does turn out to "fail", then Sony will no doubt do what they can to ensure that they don't lose money on the project...or at least try.

give it at least a year to judge it.

The Vita would have to sell literally 3-5 million units worldwide by the end of this fiscal year (March 31st, 2013) for that to happen.

I don't know, I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel for the Vita but I assume SOMETHING good has to spur sales or else there will be no reason for third parties to support it.

In other news, Nintendo projects they will sell 18.5 million 3DS units in this fiscal year, anyone taking bets on whether the Vita will sell 1/4 or 1/3 or that in the same time frame?

They'd be able to concentrate on getting all the casuals back from iOS/Android so I doubt they'd be lazy if that was the case

They have already given us quite a few free games motorstorm rc table soccer treasures of montezuma blitz But just like 3ds's free games I not interested in them. They just need to get more games out and a price dropp4s2p0

Therein lies the problem.

You can't have more games, i.e. support from developers, unless there is good hardware sales. Sony can try really hard and deliver a great first party line up, but if consumers don't buy it then there's little they can do.

Let's hope they turn the ship around for the sake of gaming, because even if you don't own or want a Vita it's existence helps all of gaming

Comduter

I know that. It can never happen. I was just making a bad joke. It's still not gonna happen.

hopefully unlock features like psone classics and letting remote play on all ps3 games that would be a good way to try and get something out of the system. plus allow homebrew make it open source. doubt any of this will happen than again i don't they will can it.

if sony cans the vita...many many sony fanboys will be pissed...betrayed. theyll jump to xbox or nintendo and never buy a sony handheld ever.

but honestly///the only way sony will drop the vita is if they are almost going out of business or something.

It would make more sense to drop so they don't have to go out of business, not that I'm saying it will make them do so.

But when you're facing possible closing you cut all stuff that doesn't make money. The Vita isn't making them money with poor hardware/software sales. Of course this isn't for sure to keep happening, they could turn it around but unless something happens within a year or two and it continues to lose money across the board they would probably ask themselves the same question most other businesses would've already asked: Why should we bleed more money in this product?

This is the 3DS all over again. Everyone was sure the 3DS was going to crash and burn. If E3 comes around and Sony completely ignore the PSV I'd be worried, until then people should just chill.danish-death

This 4x as bad as the 3DS actually, based on hardware/software sales.

Sega never returned me for getting the 32X :?

But i dont think Sony will can vita anytime soon. Its an amazing system, i would get one if i had enough euros.

They won't. Japanese companies have too much pride. But they probably need too. LOL at anyone who thinks Sony would refund their money.

I think at E3 the truth will begin to set in.

Sony won't can it outright, and since they can't lower the price it'll just be a slow moving system with hardly any quality software.

I'm sure they'll pull it out somehow. It's too crazy to think of a PS console failing IMO. I'm sure it will do bad, but not that bad.

But hey, times are a changing! You never know what will happen honestly. Hopefully this teaches Sony to not rely on the "Sell hardware at a loss" strategy when there is no software being bought,
