Sony Exec Confirms Vita's 10 Year Life Cycle

[QUOTE="madsnakehhh"]

That thing needs a price cut and maybe even a revision ASAP, i mean it has a couple of interesting games, but there is no way i will spend so much money to just play a few games, not to mention the WiiU is just around the corner almost at the same price.

Vita lasting 10 years? good luck with that and while the PS3 was on a similar situation there is no guarantee the vita will be the same.

If I was to revise the PS Vita I would:

• give it a proper d-pad like the Dualshock, and PSP have
• give it proper buttons like the Dualshock, and PSP have
• give it bigger analog sticks

I was considering buying one when it came out, but when I tested one out the controls just felt incredibly cheap.

:lol: not even the PSP had a 10 year life cycle. The PSV has no chance of it happening since its been flopping.

awsome....

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, check 10 months from now. Master_Live

Good for them if their 1st party can do that cause the 3rd party sure as hell wont.

Look at it through non fanboy eyes and it is clear that the handheld is failing and a price cut wont save it

Well, my megadrive is still 'alive'.

I don't think that there ever has been a handheld that was supported 10 years. If Sony couldn't even support the PSP what makes them think they can support the Vita?

10 year life cycle for the Vita?

The Vita will improve over time. Seems obvious, but the PSP didn't really take off at first either. When the library is strong and the hardware gets cheaper it will start selling.GunSmith1_basic

PSP was a niche system through and through. Unless you had an interest in JRPGs (which was what kept the system afloat) there really wasn't much to offer on the system. The Vita doesn't really seem to have that going for it either since the regular PSP is still outright outselling it.

Well what really sold the PSP (outside of Japan) was piracy.

The original PSP had a pretty horrible software attach rate in comparison to every other system.

It's going to be a boring 10 years.

Yeah. Niche means it caters to a very specific and narrow audience. In the case of the PSP, if you were a fan of JRPGs, you'd get a hell of a lot more mileage out of it than others.

First 7 and 1/2 months of PS Vita have been pretty fun so far.

Glad to hear they planned a 10 year life cycle! :D

10 year life cycle. That seems like a long stretch now a days, especially with how fast technology moves. But then again, we are coming up on the 7th year of this generation of consoles.

10 year life cycle ??? Now where did I hear that before ...Oh Yeah ! ... The PS3

Well enjoy 10 years of last place again and crap exclusives no one buys

Yeah, 10 year HOMEBREW life cycle--and maybe even longer than that. C'mon, the second Sony pulls the plug on this failure, EVERYBODY is going to rush out and buy one.Heirren

PlayStation Vita Price Cut Coming Next Year, Says Sony

For those that hate because they want one but can't afford it. :)

Gue1

lol why does 'not willing to pay that price' always translate to 'can't afford' here.

Well it's starting to look good, if it gets a massive 3rd party then I may get one. But i'm gonna wait a while.

I'm down with that, I been enjoying my vita alot lately, hot shot golf is a great game and i wanna get lbp next

I can't remember a Sony system, going back to PS1, where Sony execs didn't bring up the '10 year life cycle'. They should start making it a bullet-point on the back of the boxes. getyeryayasout

It's going to be a boring 10 years.

yea...in 3 or 4 years we will have the 4DS...4k resolution in the palm of your hands.

Better yet, it could be the world's first 4D entertainment device.

I honestly don't see an issue with a 10 year cycle. The PSP is still great tbh and the Vita is a powerhouse!
