Announce a price cut of 1/4 to both the hardware and memory cards immediately, and announce a whole bunch of games for it.
Make the Vita's development kit cheaper, so smaller indie developers start to make games for Vita, while continuing to fund the development of major titles like grand theft auto for it



So.... The price be $187.49! Round it up $189!!! I agree with the memory but 1/2 instead

Roughly it should be $179 on it's own but $199 with an 8gb card and a game. 



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Anything Sony already hasn't done to the Vita would be a good idea. Including...
~ Dropping the price by 50$ on the Wi-Fi one.
~ Getting rid of the 3G Version. (Keeping the 3G service alive, though. We don't want to make the customers even more mad that they bought that version.)
~ Increase marketing. Make noticeable and recognizable commercials.
~ Push the Vita as what it is, an HD Handheld gaming console that isn't just a PS3 on the go.

-$50 Vita price cut in the coming months to $199
-Memory card price cut 4gb $10 8gb $20 16gb $40 32gb $60 right now.
-Elimination of the wifi only model, provide 3G/Wifi models only, to enhance acceptance and developer mechanic implementation.
-Include internal built in 4gb card in future models to ease the process of file swapping from other memory cards & PS3/PC/Mac
-Have a remarkable display of functionality with the PS4 when the PS4 is announced, full remote play(apps & games), cross controller games, optional dedicated controller use,
-Instant game collection showcase bundles for Black Friday screaming "Comes with 6 games!!!"
-2 free physical game alternative bundle option
-Bring Red, White, and Blue colors over to other territories outside Japan. Introduce a Pink color.
-Do not have a single conference without reasonable shared spotlight for the Vita
-Create commercials based not only on the amazing games, but the variety of functions, people using(adults & children) it for twitter, skype calls, internet browsing, cross game chat, listening to music, etc. Motto "Everything you want, in the palm of your hands"



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

If I were Sony, I would drop the system and concentrate in making the PS4 the most successful console for next generation. The doors is still open for the PS4; especially seeing the small missteps Nintendo made launching the Wii U. With the runaway success of the 3DS, growth of tablet/phone gaming, and now more powerful Android gaming machines it would be sheer luck if PSV would recoup any investment Sony put in or will put into it. No one will really miss the console save for a few dedicated Sony followers at this time. Just my 2 cents.

Oh, a memory card price cut is also needed. Badly.

drop price to $189, bundle games, memory cards, special edition Vita's, 1 month of PSN+, and cut memory card price in half with every Vita.

So Your Mr. _________ and Now you work For Sony! Congrats! PS4 is on its way, Things look very good as of now, but those terrible Vita Sales!!!!!

How do you help, save, and deliver for the Consumers while Making a Profit for the Company?

Discuss Mr/Mrs........ (assuming your married lol)


Price is not the problem, it just doesn´t appeal to people like the psp and ds did. I guess they could get some niche market by releasing games like DEMON´S SOULS 2, since they own the name and all.

Also, they could release a Valkiria Chronicles game, I don´t know man, I don´t think the Vita can be saved.

I have one, and it is really cool, but people are just not interested... It´s sad because the console is light-years better than all the others (3ds, ds and psp). But people just don´t want it....



I guess Nintendo has Software which makes 3DS great while Vita is great hardware that needs software! It all comes down to this →Software>>>>>Hardware. The truth hurts... lol

That could be a good idea. The Japanese market always likes cute things!

I'd make good games for it.


Remember, it's useless even at $200 if it doesn't play halo or Mario or whatever
