I am only one worried that psvita still as virtually no third party support. well except street fighter X tekken. And the thing is comin out this freakin year.
Sony is no Nintendo, they cant survive on their IPs alone.
Even that street fighter X tekken port got me worried for the future of that thing, The device is cool an all but if its just gets the same games ps3 has from 3rd parties that thing is in hella trouble. |
It's just you and probably the same familiar faces that would just as soon like to see SCE exit the gaming business.
SCE has always been heavily invested in 2nd party studios working on current and new SCE owned IPs for their platforms, and 3rd party support has literally never been in question.
Support for the Vita looks to be as strong if not stronger than that of the 3DS, not that this is even where the future of handheld gaming is heading. Nobody's mentioned Android support for Playstation games, but that along with about a million other clues is indicative of where the industry is really heading.

See Sony leave? Seriously? I would be very upset were that to happen. Where would I get my Gran Turismo fix, then?
I have nothing against Sony, and I think the Vita is a cool concept. I just get annoyed by the way the whole price estimates are thrown around like law when they're really just sloppy guesses with massive margins of error in both directions.
Edit: Fantastic ad hominem there, by the way. Attack my credentials instead of responding to my issues with the way these estimates are done.

You're questioning the industry standard by which BOM estimates are made. Take that as a personal slight if you want.

Nice strawman.
I'm not questioning BoM, nor am I hating on Sony (which was that ad hominem). I'm questioning using BoM as an precise predictor of profitability. There are far too many variables outside the BoM for this to be accurate in a case where the difference is <$50.

Why were you even responding to a comment directed at someone other than yourself?

As for your "strawman" comment, it's not even up to me to convince you or anyone else of the validity of BOM estimates as a marker for per unit profit/losses. It's already commonly accepted.
If that's the crux of your argument, seriously; keep it. I'd tell you to try suggesting a better way to estimate unit costs, but it's highly unlikely you won't because frankly, there isn't any.

Because I am a retard. That's why. Apologies.
I meant to respond to your response to me. I blame how VGChartz switches the traditional location of the quote button (above vs. below). My bad.
