Sony: "A lot rests on Vita's success"

Well, Sony is fucked.

LOL @ the pic. Vita will be a success for gamers, but a failure compared to 3DS sales.

Still tho, Sony should be able to make a nice profit off of the Vita in the long run.

Considering that you can get the PS3 for a cheaper price than the Vita, it's no wonder it ain't selling well. Not to mention the lack of games at launch. Sony really needs to cut the price down to at least $200-$250.

With around 30 launch games having one of the biggest line up including its biggest killer app uncharted a lack of games? :what:

I think what's killing the launch right now is the date.Sony should have learned from Nintendo Not to launch their handheld in early Q1

Oops! I forgot it already came out in Japan. Still, the Japanese would rather buy games from their native land instead. Also, 30 launch games? I went through a whole list of Vita games, and it didn't seem that much.

Giving the 3DS an entire holiday season to gain huge amounts of sales on the back of Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land was Sony's biggest mistake. The high price point is another mistake. Vita will likely be launching around the same time as the iPad 3 and whether you believe it or not, is a major competitive to the handheld market.

Uncharted Golden Abyss is not a killer app, its a toned down version of an experience that you can get on the PS3, for a lower price. It does not take advantage of the Vita's actual features.

All that money wasted on a handheld, it seems to me that Android/Smartphones have taking over, a complete waste.
