'Vita games are worth £40,' says Sony boss

[Runa216]

where does this ignorant belief that Handheld games have less value than console games come in? I spent 140 hours on Pokemon Black/white easily and would have gladly paid 60 for that....(I paid 35). Final Fantasy Tactics Advance I clocked in somewhere betweeen 50 and 80 hours by the time each was said and done. Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Zelda games...these are just as fun and have just as much value as their console counterparts and after seeing Call of Duty sell for 60 bucks in spite of a less than 4 hour campaign and what amounts to a glorified online map pack...well, I think people and their values are a touch misplaced.

I will gladly buy handheld games at the prices they ask, as long as the content's there. golden Abyss is equal in gameplay quality and apparently longer in the campaign than any Uncharted game before it, so 50 bucks is a fair price. I also love that they have different pricing for games, the fact that I can get some games for 30 bucks (wipeout, modNation, various others) as well as games like Rayman Origins, Marvel vs Capcom, and various other games that were 60 on consoles for 40 on handhelds is a damn good deal to me.

And the fact that it's portable certainly helps. I can play these games on the bus, on flights, in the living room while my friends are chatting, anywhere.

Definitely worth the money.
