[QUOTE="SilverSterls"][QUOTE="PraetorianMan"]Anyway, as for the OP. I think it will be blamed, and it deserves it.
Have you seen any commercials for the Vita that aren't Taco Bell? Go around and ask peole, does anyone know what a Vita is? I walked into a nearby GameCraze and asked about this, the public awareness for this thing is ROCK BOTTOM. This thing launches in what, a week? Seriously, the **** is Sony doing?
From what I can tell the Vita hardware itself is still excellent, regardless of Sony's retarded marketing team. I will still be getting one [still don't know if I'm going to be a launch buyer; college courses], but the closer and closer this thing gets, the more critical the situation looks.

Why do people act like TV commercials are all that matters? The average person doesnt even pay attention to TV commercials. The best forms of advertising are on the internet and if you want to see some good adds check your PS3. There advertising it first to that 60 million + fanbase that owns a PS3 then from there you bring out the casual commercials to get a wider audience. You can say its gonna flop all you want but I doubt very seriously they have a hardtime selling out of the launch systems. The launch systems will probably sell easily enough, but I don't think Sony can keep the sales going for too long after that. In all likelyhood the sales will sink like the 3DS and, like Nintendo, Sony will be forced to cut the price [or at the very least make a game/memory card bundle]. The ads on PS3 are a clever idea but I seriously doubt its enough. Again, public awareness for this thing looks.... not good. Yes it needs more marketing but in all honesty its not smart to do all your marketing at launch. Those units are going to sell anyways its two and three monthes later when you want to do the big marketing push. Hell look at the Sega Dreamcast it had a extremly successful launch and great hype and after the launch it went down the toilet and advertising went to 0. Word of mouth is the number 1 way a product sells and I think once people play it they will like it. I wouldnt be surprised if it gets a slow start but I do beleive it will be a successful system.
