Wii had a radical new approach to gaming. Vita looks to be the same old PSP vs DS specs all over again Wii had a price advantage. Vita does not Wii appealed to casuals, a crowd more vast then the core market. Vita caters to the core more then anything. |
misinformation begets bad logic.
The vita has several new innovations, none clearly as big as the wii did, but big innovations nonetheless.
3G will enable web calls, so at home or hotspots, you'll be able to receive and make free calls. The future is free web calling. Check out a software called line2. I know dozens of people who changed their 100$/month calling plan to a 40$ calling plan with a 10$ line 2 subscription. Beyond that, it offers a near limitless possibility for expanded market stuff like AR hotspots. Everything you can do on an iphone or android, you'll be able to do on vita. This doesn't sell systems, necessarily, but it keeps me from having to buy an iphone just for the 99 cent games that I want to play.
Back touchscreen. Literally, there is no more interesting control style, imo, than this feature. This touchscreen will allow for easy camera manipulation, and lots of other interesting capabilities that I can only begin to imagine.
I think it both caters to the expanded and the core, and throws in something that nobody else has. Honestly, this feels like a nintendo kind of hardware, which the 3ds really isn't.
