Remember that the DS at the time of release was $150 while the PSP was at $250, and the fact that it had the touch gaming gimmick, which took off on the smart phones as the masses loved it, and something the PSP never had. So no matter how high tech the PSP was it was just to expensive. Come to the present day. The 3DS price is $250 and the4 PSvita has been priced at $250, also the PSVita not only has a multi-touch screen (similar to smart phones) it also has a multi-touch track pad. So given that both machines are the same price, the customer will turn to value, as in which device does more for the same money, and clearly the PSvita does more than the 3DS. One thing to also factor in, is that portability is no longer an issue, poeple have already accomidated their life style to large devices like the Ipad and other tablets, gone are the days of ultra small phones, and in are the days of smart phones withy 4.3 inche screens. The world has changed my friend, it's no longer the days of 2004, the hand held market is no longer the same, to disregard the PSvita is just silly, Right now the PSvita has everything in it's favour to really do Nintendo some damage and even has the potential to outsell the 3DS. |
Agreed. If The PS3 launch with the same Price as the Wii, this gen would have been completly different.
