The pricepoint of $250 wouldn't be so bad if the games and accessories weren't also expensive. Sony needs to realize that they don't have the brandname power to sell high-end, expensive products like Apple does. Seriously, fifty dollar handheld games? FIFTY DOLLAR HANDHELD GAMES? Meanwhile the 3DS has several games on sale and the most popular titles are at $40.

I'm positive that the Vita will improve in sales and we'll look back at this period a couple years later in amusement. But Sony definitely needs a change in their business model.

Uncharted Golden  Abyss is the only game priced at $50.
All the other games are $29.99 or $39.99.

PSN titles go even lower.

But you have to buy the online pass for online play. Which is $10, so to get the same full game as the new retail release on the PStore you have to pay the same price.

Of course I'm okay with that.
