I know videogames fans and sony fanboys really want this system to do well, but i just dont see it happening.

The way the device is marketed is shortsided and was already proven to fail.

Considering Sony's financial postition, they cant do the same kind of price cut nintendo did with the 3DS aswell.

Things do look grim for the Vita, but it was because Sony set it up for failure since its conception.

 

Sony can keep the system going by themselves though, and in a couple of years when the price cut comes, the system might become viable. It definitly wont happen for now though.

totally out to linch and devoid of any facts, sony has done everything RIGHT for vita, it s a very well made machine, has lots of good game s at launch, and devs have said it is the easiest device to code for ever. The device will do fone and all indications point to it beign very successfull over the long haul. it has already big name third party support.

I think you dont know what marketing means.

The market at wich the device is beeing aimed is not profitable. The Vita, just like the PSP before it is aimed at having home console experiences on the move. This market is a niche. Customers dont want to play the same exact game on the move and pay twice as much for the same game + a portable console to have the same experience in a small screen.

It can have dozens of titles at launch and it can be a breeze to develop for, but if the customer does not see the value in it, they wont buy it. Product value for the price, before you come tell me that its such a good device it deserves the value. Were talking about costumors perceiving that as value and not wether theres a rational justification for the price.
