Factors like price, games, features, brand name, etc are a lot more important than launch price. These are all the factors that attribute to the 3DS's current lead over the Vita. Launch time may have contribute a bit to 3DS's current high sales compared to the Vita, but to imply that it was drasticly important is silly. Though trying to deem that a lead over a console out for only one region as significant is silly in it's own right. |
The point is Nintendo has ruled the handheld arena for decades. Sony tried last gen to displace them and were soundly defeated. Therefore by now granting Nintendo such a huge lead they are pretty much handing over the victory. Nintendo not only has a headstart but they also have momentum, and from the look of the Japanese sales they have the mindshare as well.
Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
