Except an iPad or PC are completely over expensive compared to a Vita. Especially the iPad.

Hard to be impressed enough by that to buy it when theres next to nothing to play on it.

The problem is with that is Sony may not be able to afford a price cut any time soon. They are already losing so much on each one sold. HarlockJC

That's my biggest problem with Sony. They're too concentrated on high technology and other features that would make the handheld more expensive rather then concentrating on simpler features for the machine.

Why do people come into a sales thread to talk about their experience with PSV, how great its library of games is in regards to quality instead of selling power and how great the tech is? You realize that you are basically admiting defeat by doing so right?

No I mean defeat for those who didn't believe me when I said that PSV would flop (and others), however they won't man up and give me credit for my accurate prediction, instead they talk about things unrelated to sales in a sales thread.

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"][QUOTE="p4s2p0"] The tech like 5" screen,built in dual analogs,Six-axis motion sensing, multitouch newer than resistive on 3ds. not that there's anything wrong with 3ds but vita is what I've always wanted in a portableDeadMan1290

Are tablets and PCs just handheld gaming consoles?

Agreed, the hardware and the horsepower are extremely impressive overall (few flaws of course). That is pretty much a given. It's just the majority of gamers don't like the launch library and the pricing/memory card. That is definitely whats killing it.

dude JC, responding to ispeakfact is like responding to Heli lol, they are the 2 most delusional cows on these forums. They love Sony, not games.

Well duh that's the point. "impressive, but expensive". PSV is way too sophisticated for its own good.

Nintendo is the illumanati.

Le France has good taste on gaming.

how much people care about power when it comes to handhelds.HarlockJC

Not surprised its bombing so badly. Ipad just came out and people would rather buy that instead.

Sell it for 150 and people will start buying it.

"given the fact that the 3DS launched at the same price with inferior tech, a pathetic launch lineup, most of its functionality missing, and more"

That means that is the brand that sells.

They really shouldn't have called it "Vita", cus that's just too damn ironic.

Nintendo is the illumanati.

Sony has become such a failure of a company it's embarrassing.

[QUOTE="babycakin"]

[QUOTE="todd2r"] I wouldn't call it being jelly but he's kinda right. Most of my friends are super impressed with the Vita and want one, they just aren't willing to pay 249 for one. Once Sony gets the price right, it will take off. SuperFlakeman

The "Well duh thats the point." is exactly where I'm getting at. I definitely know thats the problem but man everytime a new thread opens up days later, some peeps seems to forget "the point" if you know what I mean.

[QUOTE="e_stone001"] For a company caring about the "hardcore" gamers and coming out with exclusives left and right. They're really great in my book. Unlike a certain company going the casual route with hardly any exclusives.

How can you even say that? Uncharted was supposed to be Vitas surefire AAA and it was one of the biggest flops ever. You cant predict AAAs.

Vita's lineup is terrible when it's only AAe game is a puzzle game. What a terrible launch for a terrible platform.

[QUOTE="e_stone001"][QUOTE="phonemug"]lmao their exclusives on Vita are dreadful. The platforms only AAe is a puzzle game.

How is Uncharted a flop? It received well reviews on other sites. I don't take reviews seriously because critics don't decide whether or not I should play that specific game. Don't know what the Vita has in store? Here's a list for you:

Resistance: Burning Skies

Gravity Rush

Exclusive Assassins' Creed

Exclusive Bioshock

Brand new LittleBigPlanet

A Brand new Killzone game

Final Fantasy X HD

A Monster Hunter remake (Rumor is Capcom is making one)

An Exclusive Yakuza game

An Exclusive Lost Planet

and more coming out at E3. The PS Vita isn't going anywhere. Also, the Vita has a better launch lineup than the 3DS and more so your comment is illogical.

[QUOTE="phonemug"]

[QUOTE="e_stone001"] The handheld just released last month. The Vita has AAA games coming out for it in the coming months. Didn't people say the same thing about the 3DS when it first launched? A price cut does wonders plus the games later came out. Give it some time. Saying the Vita is dreadful after the first month of release is a sad attempt at trolling without knowing what's coming out in the later months.e_stone001

Wow, wonder what Sony will get me for buying one early when they discontinue...

It's going to be funny to see how many vaporware Vita titles are on the horizon that will never see the light of day due to it's abysmal hardware and software sales.

You Vita fans think that just because Nintendo turned 3DS around that Vita still has a chance? :lol:

Nintendo had room to drop the price and huge portable franchises to save it. Vita has nothing.

I think there are two things they could have done:

1. Drop gaming from the system. Make a tablet to compete with Samsung and Apple. Make it look pretty, change the ugly UI, put a really high resolution screen in it, make it have complete access to the Android Market, put it in a fancy box and sell it. The PSV currently already has the "pretty" and "high resolution screen" aspects down, now all they need to do is get rid of the ugly buttons and joysticks, make the screen bigger (while maintaining the same quality) and put it in a fancy box. The PSV has the worst box I have EVER seen for high end product. It is an ugly blue/white mix (and i've heard blue doesn't sell well) slopped on a cheap cardboard box. It honestly looks like something that a cheap peripheral would come in.

2. Completely redesign the system to make it more neutral in every imaginable way. The DS and 3DS can be played by boys and girls, young and old. That doesn't mean it can't have "hardcore" games, it means that it is open to a much larger audience. Sony is going for the "late teens to thirty male" demographic and from a business point of view, I don't think this is a smart decision.
