I think SONY is in a better position to get the hardcore, hopefully they aim for it. Look at what you did with PSP, then how you fixed it with VITA. Do the same with PS3 and PS4, only this time get some more system sellers at launch and make it $350-400 at launch.

This is the first time I see somebody using the Vita as a positive example for Sonys new direction. Most people talk about it like another nail in the coffin.

It is way too early to tell.  Who would have thought that Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 are in the order like they are today? Every new gen is basically random and everyone has their strenghts.

Sony: brand name "Playstation" that sells quite a few consoles. Huge amount of quality 1st party and 2nd party developers.

Microsoft: Best and most spread online functionality (A lot of those 40 million Xbox Live users will keep on playing with their friends on the next xbox)

Nintendo: Best known franchises.

 

So just wait and see.

2 things that have let the vita down, system sellers and pricing, is what needs to be addressed. Bolded it. We don't even know if the vita is a success or a failure yet anyway, so let's just wait until december :P

Fixed your Sony attributes ;)
