easy.. make a phone model


This 100%. I love the Vita, and the games. The OS is already top notch, and a much better exprience than I have had with any of the androids or iPhones I have owned or used.

With a phone sku in the mix with 4G the sales for this device would explode. With the massive infusion of sales 3rd parties would swarm to it, and great exlusives would just add fuel to the fire.

End production, start a new Handheld console based around the Xperia Z line. Utilize playstation Now on that platform. -I have a vita. But I don't see its fortune turning around anytime soon (unless a gta is in the works).




Can't we all just get along.If not for yourself, do it for the future.

I don't think ONE thing would be enough because there are two problems with the Vita: Software and Memory. It sounds controversial but I would have launched the system at $299 with 32GB of internal memory, that price is high but this is the initial cost everyone thought the system would be, I think people would have been fine it, its the price of the memory cards that put a bad taste in peoples mouths. This way the memory cards could remain proprietary but would be completely optional and only available in $16GB ($39.99) and 32GB ($69.99).

In terms of games, any one of these changes would have made a big difference.

-Final Fantasy Type 0 as a launch window title, slightly upgraded visuals from the PSP version and released both in Japan and West in summer.

-Jak 4 instead of Uncharted Golden Abyss. Uncharted is a nice tech demo but does anyone really want to play a watered down version of the PS3 games?

-Elderscrolls Morrowind remaster exclusive to the Vita with a huge graphical overhaul.



I don't think one thing would really help anymore. What I would do with the largest chance to turn it around would be an exclusive GTA.



They need to drop it to the price of the 3ds (sadly), and advertise it's cool functionality more. It's kinda sad how such a great hand held is doing so horribly.

Grand Theft Auto: Las Venturas / San Fierro Stories.



Have SCEA make games for it or re-unlock all the PS One games so people game play them.

Cut the memory card prices.

try to get more indie devs to make more games for it. like on steam. -Jim sterling.



I'd Write "Nintendo" on the back of it.

Make the memory card a standard Microsd


this is the drawback I normally mention when talking to people about it so this.



correct me if I am wrong
stop me if I am bias
I love a good civilised debate (but only if we can learn something).

 

Bundle with Gravity Rush + LBP PSV + 16GB memory card at 150$/140€ (EU price including VAT).
I'd wait for BF/Xmas season 2014 to do it, by then production costs should be low enough to allow it to be profitable even at that price, and the season would maximise the effect. The bundle should be permanent or at least with no return to a worse situation for the buyers: bundled games could change and memory card size grow in the future, but the price from then on should never grow again (except for richer premium and/or special bundles, obviously, but that low priced bundle should become the entry level offer).
