So uh, hey there Conegamer. Did you even read my comment? If you did, you wouldn't have wrote what you did. It is true I need to be a little more conservative with PS profit projectons. Such as only 30 million profitable PS3's were sold. If they did make $50 then thats 1.5 billion. I already said software sold 538 million and $10 each isnt crazy is it? That's 5.38 billion. So the 2.7 billion from selling at a loss is gone leaving 4.18 billion profit plus however much profit is made on accessories and digital sales, which is alot, and whatever that number is needs to go up aganst the cost of developing the PS3 and operating the division.

What would make all of this easier would be to just look at the account postings of the PS division.

"Should Sony ditch the Playstation Vita?!?

LOL! You mean the most advance piece of handheld tech EVER released?

Um, no. Did Nintendo ditch the 3DS after poor launch sales? lol Or game developing as a whole after the GameCube crashed and burned pathetically? lol No.

i should Stop over exagerrating. "

fixed

And what in MY post was "over exagerrated" kind sir? Do tell.

The fact that 3DS had poor launch sales? Um, no. This was universally stated. The fact that GameCube crashed and burned saleswise? Um, no. It only a little over 30 million while the leader of that generation sold 155mil (AND COUNTING) lol

No.

Don't make the same mistake SEGA did when they prematurely killed off the Saturn.
As a result, they burnt customers, retailers and developers. Many of whom never forgave them.

MosDef, as it is a money losing endeavor and Sony has better prospects it could allocate resources to like PS4, it's smartphone division, and Blu-ray players. I just don't see how the Vita at this point can do anything but hurt Sony's bottom line. They owe it to their investors and fans to do so as soon as possible.

ditch it hell i bought it then return it 5 days later,sadly the game i bought could not be return oh well,but yeah sad fact is phones are killing the handhelds it affected 3ds for a bit till it took of then it effected vita the most.i also kinda see this way ,if i can play uncharted on my ps3 why would i want to play on the vita?i like the design and feel but the games is not there

speaking of phones, VITA PHONE!!!!!!
Sony should release a Vita Phone!
Integrate Android with their Vita's OS with a design similar to the PSPGo.
Think about it, all the functionality and cheap ass games from the android market + full epic console type games = AWESOME!

There is no explanation why Sony should ditch the Vita.
What is to be done to make it successful:

- more native games obviously
- PS1 support, this is a must!
- integrate the vita as a controller for ps3 games, copy the WiiU concept
- gain indie-developer support through the SDK - hell man, i was looking at the indiegames on steam and would buy some of them for the vita.
- bring a goddamn foot on the japanese market. every week you see several PSP games releasing in the top 10 in japan. why the heck aren't they automatically available on the vita as download, too?
- support the vita with PS+, give me (dynamic) backgrounds, give me one or two minis, just to have more games to play when i just have a few minutes time to play. a handheld needs a reason why pick it with you, when you leave your house. that's what i am missing right now. bring more social network games like a pokemon style game where you can fight against people you meet in the streets...

if they'd reach some of this goals, the vita will be successful.

It's too late in the game for Sony to save this handheld.  If the 3DS doesn't bring it to it's grave the smart-devices (tablets, phones etc) surely will!!! Remember Sony at the moment is fighting for their lives and anything that could hinder their progress should be cut off!!!

well, as long as Apple doesn't bring a "shelf" with buttons and analog sticks for its iphone, i don't see this coming (which really would be the next move for apple). i've tried some games and they are all shitty with crap controls and just interesting for a few minutes. no depth in the games. but yes, i do think this is the last generation of handheld gaming devices and once apple brings some kind of gaming iphone and the others follow, no one will need a vita.

that would be the point where sony needs to either build it's own hardcore smartphone or being successful with it's ps suite, which is honestly a bad idea. i think for the future sony won't be able to run it's own platform on the mobile market, but could compete as a game developer on the iphone / android OS. Nintendo otherwise will always have it's unique selling point: the IPs.

but until then there is still time to go. i'd say at least 3 years where you will need the vita to have the oppurtunity to play some "real" games, not just gimmicky touch minigames. and then... maybe a vita phone? sony and nokia tried, but failed. who knows why they failed with a concept (mobile phone and games) which will kill them (smartphone and games). maybe nokia where too early with it's n-gage, and sony too late with xperia play.
