On the PSV defense, Sony is probably making more profit with the 113k units than Nintendo with the 3DS at 179k :P


I thought it was assumed that Sony is taking a loss on every system sold; that's why people say that Sony can't cut the price yet...

Taking a loss on every system sold, sure... But with the expensive memory cards that you HAVE to use? These "loss" became a lot low.

Is the economy really that bad that people can't afford a $20 memory card?

The Vita isn't an iPhone. Games aren't megabytes in size. Games are 2-4 gigs. Digital Distribution was never meant to be the main form of getting your games. 

Escape plan size - 800Mb and its one of the first PSN games on Vita... Do you think that someone can stay like 1 year with a 4Gb memory card? Ok, for those who will not download games, 4Gb is more than enough, and download games isnt the "main" thing in the market, i know that. What i want to say is that a lot of people bought the 18~32Gb card, and this make the Sony "loss" on every system sold dont hurt too much. And yes, i think these cards are expensive, especially in my country, US$ 35 for 4Gb card if we import,  US$ 55 if we buy on the gray market. They dont sell it oficially here, only with the bundle, wich cost almost US$ 900.
