Wouldn't they have to discontinue the damned thing at that price?If it means a 169.99 Vita then BRING IT I wants.
The way the media goes on and on about the industry as a whole is pretty silly, but it goes into overdrive when it comes to handhelds...It looks that way. I've only started following Vita this week and I've never seen so much doom and gloom for a device since Xbox 360.
It was the West that carried the PSP after all.It will fare better in the west since the lineup so far it's more suited to this audience. When COD Portable and other games like Madden are released it will see a jump in sales and will be fine.
What Ambassador games will we get with the Vita?
It does make sense. He's talking about dedicated portable gaming devices slowly dying, as tablets and phones are now very capable gaming machines.The whole article makes no sense. First he's talking about the 3DS, then tablets, then mobile phones.
Sony going third party confirmed.
Really want a Vita, but don't like the hefty price tag. The sooner the price drop comes, the better.

I'm glad Sony is not doomed.
Isn't 3DS already at, like, 12+ million units sold? Before it's even been in the market for a year... >_>; And this WITH the trouble they had with moving units earlier this year. Yeah... I'd say 3DS won't have a hard time hitting at least 30 million in the next couple of years, I'd guess even ~40 million isn't completely impossible.There is no doubt that Nintendos 3DS is going to sell at least 20 Million units globally over the next couple of years.
Mimicking console games didn't work with the PSP and it probably won't work now...It will fare better in the west since the lineup so far it's more suited to this audience. When COD Portable and other games like Madden are released it will see a jump in sales and will be fine.
Spyro 1, 2, 3 PSN Classics
5 minis
2 PSN games made before 2009

I just don't think Vita is going to have any more success in the US then the PSP has had.
Europe on the other hand is Sony's Bread and Butter
And with the current value of the Euro, the more Sony sells in Europe, the more money they are going to lose.
What?

35 million at max when it's all said and done.
But they are already doing it for Android!Kutaragi should swallow her pride and release Vita for the iPhone in the west.

Article never said that. It clearly states 3DS will sell "at leat" 20 million.Okay, but some of the shit he's spouting is plain stupid. Thinking in a few years the 3DS will only reach 20 million? Derp, it's likely already half way there in less than a year.
3ds has the marios and the karts and the monhuns and in the future, pokemans and more monhuns and love plus.
What does vita have that the japanese audience desire? A remake of a 'meh' ds tales game?
I, uh, huh.

You guys are raging over the inevitable. The article is correct, PSV needs a price drop. Age of dedicated handhelds is over. Kids will not care for Mario anymore, they'll grow up with crap like Angry Birds.
Seriously.The whole article makes no sense. First he's talking about the 3DS, then tablets, then mobile phones.

Agreed. Thankfully, consumers are in agreement. Android and iPhone revenues are in a freefall as we speak:I wouldn't worry about these articles at all. iPhone gaming is garbage.
3DS has surpassed 4 million in Japan already I think...so it's already outsold the Gamecube's lifetime sales there, heh.Isn't 3DS already at, like, 12+ million units sold?
